Old thread I know, I am looking at purchasing a 20# Travel Pro, so I thought I'd re-ignite this thread. The main thing I see is removing the STA from the travel rig should be less weight and less parts to pack, and that's why I'm considering it. Advantages of the STA? I have a 40# Eclispe...

Thanks Mike!

Much appreciated Manuel, for sure we won't be happy rock scrambling, I still shore dive often but my chica not so much. Thanks much.

Thanks TT, how long ago was your last visit?

Hey thanks Morgan, much appreciated. Scott

Hi Scuba Board, I'm booking a trip for Bali, Tulamben in April and need some help picking a resort, please help me with your recommendations. We are a couple in our mid 60's she has 100 dives I have 500, we are not penetrating wrecks or doing anything tech. Standard 7 days 6 days of diving...

Hi Marsh, I'm on my second BARE suit, that means I owned the Sci-tech neck seal system and then chose to purchase it a second time. I'm a rec diver who has taken GUE fundies and dives a B/P wing with a long hose config. A couple things I've learned. Any replaceable neck seal has a large ring...

Dive Log 6 is a little clunky but it does what I need, I've been using it for probably 8 years, but it's MacOS compatible. I downloaded SubSurface and imported my Dive Log export as .udcf file. I tried every format offered, .udcf seemed to work the best. But now my Petrel bluetooth won't...

Here's the link: How do you shop for a drysuit?

Hey I just bought a Tech Sentry after owning and XCS2 for seven plus years and more than 300 dives on it. I haven't dove my new suit yet, weather just keeps on not cooperating. I did a long post you can find on my thread comparing BARE and why I made the choice to make a second purchase with...

In that case I'd move it an inch or so towards the tricep. Did you see the picture I attached in a previous post? I attached again here. With the valve in the placement in my picture I really struggle to reach the valve. I dive with the dump always open, so I don't need to adjust often, its...

It looks good to me Mike, not too far on the tricep or bicep. You'll know when you are ascending if the valve dumps well in the horizontal. Best to you in 2021.

Hey Mike, it depends on where their "standard position resides". Too far onto the tricep makes it difficult to reach, too far onto the bicep makes it difficult to purge while in trim. Cheers in 2021!

I just bought a BARE Sentry Tech crushed neoprene. Here's my thought process (your mileage may vary) : Neoprene vs Trilam - Trilam is less buoyant and will not compress at depth, more people I know and network with dive trilam by far. Neoprene, warmer, stretchy, little or no telescoping...

Thanks ITD.

Hi SynapticL, how's that neoprene neck seal working out for you? Have you ever owned a Si or latex neck seal for comparison? Scott

Hi ITD, I'm looking a replacing my BARE XSC2 suit with a Sentry Tech, any advice?

Hi GregS, I can repeat the test, I suspected there was a crosstalk issue in my Feb post, I shot that down because it was working on the surface and it wasn't until I started my descent that the air pressure blinked out, something is flakey and it's not Scott LOL. The Suunto as I expected is...

Update: I bought a used Shearwater Petrel2 about the time my Vyper transmitter was recalled. When I got the transmitter back I was using it in together with my Petrel2. See the photo zoom in on my right forearm. Last weekend my Petrel2 went low battery and on my second dive I dove the Vyper...

Update: Suunto sent me a new Vyper NOVO Graphite, no explanation of what went wrong with the five year old Vyper Air. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, jackpot!
