    HID to LED conversion?

    Hi, I recently converted my UK Light Cannon 100 from HID to LED Was tired of overly sensitive & expensive HID bulbs Basically, it was not much more than "swapping the bulbs": - removed the HID reflector/light/starter electronics from their holder - installed an LED module with a Seoul...

    Tips on cleaning lenses and ports

    well, here is one unconventional tip that is rather inexpensive, available almost everywhere, and works great for me for years: cigaret paper! yes, you read right. I use cigaret paper, the one that is sold to roll your own cigarettes with loose tobacco. Why? I always had the problem that any...

    "Transpac" Style BC Question

    my opinion: get an aluminum or Kydex rigid plate, and a small (18...30lbs) wing my choice would be the small DSS Torus or the small Mach V while sounding counter-intuitive, rigid plates are normally not less but more comfortable as they give the best support for the tank while diving...

    Best Place for Weights with BP/W?

    Hi Mike, below I copied a description I wrote some years ago when I came up with this solution. Should answer all your questions and then some... Setup's unchanged for 4 years now ... and the "temp cable tie solution" became sort of permanent, although I still "plan" to replace them with...

    Best Place for Weights with BP/W?

    I had a similar problem and came up with this solution: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/4728568-post13.html (I am referring to the pockest between plate and wing) works great for me for several years now. Besides freeing the waist and eliminating a weight belt, it gives me very good balance...

    Lightest Travel BC

    Poseidon Harness- DEMA 2009

    surprized nobody cried "failure point" yet :D looks very Poseidon-like: well engineered and thought out, but a bit on the complex side and compatible with nothing else. Probably expensive, too. In my opinion, Poseidon should use their skills and good name, and produce indistructible but...

    Benchmark Masks?

    I am afraid it is next to impossible to recommend masks. Every person is different, and while for clothing or other dive equipment there is at least quasi-standardized size measurements, there is no such thing for faces. So my recommendation is to try as many masks as possible. Maybe as a...

    DIY quick release weight system

    thanks looks like a neat idea. but aren't you afraid that something accidentially catches the buckle and pulls it open, w/o you noticing? Then there is nothing to hold the weight back, or did I misunderstand it? Btw, I just use XS Scuba weight pockets at the same location, and secure the...

    Ultimate light weight wing?

    there are some with a "soft" backpack, see above. but you'll need two cambands for them. My setup is also optimized for weight, although not as radically as yours. It is a DSS Kydex plate, their 30lbs LCD wing, hog harness with all stainless hardware, and a "custom" integrated weight system...

    Dive Fin Recommendation

    now that is interesting. if that were so, why bother and wear fins at all? after all, your feet are somewhat of a miniature fin ;) Seriously, I don't think this is a true statement. Different fins have different efficiency on converting leg motion to forward thrust. Problem is that people...

    Am I getting ripped off?

    I would ask him what specifically leaked, and what specifically needed to be fixed that would not be part of a regular service. After all, a regular service changes all the sealings etc, everything above and beyond would be a warranty case not annual service ==> so I would politely ask the...

    Possibly stupid newbie question...

    well, yes and know. Yes, besides from dive boats you usually want some foot protection. No, this doesn't necessarily mean open heel fins. You can (and should) wear neoprene socks in full foot fins, and I found mine surprizingly resilient for all but the toughest entries. I can only emphasize the...
