I have a 2x12 steel tanks setup, the manufacturer is BTS (somewhere in European Union), tanks are made in 2008. Does anybody know more on this brand? I never heard anything about them, so I asume these are rebranded tanks? Google doesn't help a lot as well, and their homepage is rather...

By looking at the following brands, one could come to the conclusion that all these wings are made by the same manufacturer as an OEM product and branded accordingly: Golem Gear, DTD, Dir Zone, DUX and perhaps several others I'm not aware of. Does anybody know who really manufacturers them...

Tobin, what wing from your line would you recommend for the 2x12 L 230 bar Faber tanks (possible AL stage and cannister light in a foreseeable future but not in another 12 months)? My current setup is your LCD30 with a medium plate for a 15L steel Faber tank, drysuit is trilam cordura with...

So, the Pinnacle Evo2 has vulcanized boots, I wear size 10, currently looking for appropriate sized fin. I found a 'local' copy of the Jetfin people, available in size L/XL, and I'd need to go and check it/try it out. Since this includes a drive and there are no other sizes available if it...

I've added several photos of the suit to the gallery, you can find them here: http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/2679 OTOH, the suit is excellent, very rugged (cordura), but also usable with very thick undergarment (regular Evolution, without merino linining), good range of...

I just had my regs serviced, and I noticed something a bit weird. I tried the regs on a tank, just to get them pressurized, didn't manage to take them for a dive yet, and the octo, Scubapro R390, makes a slight rattling sound when pressurized and shaken. This didn't happen before, and it...

So, as several members of SB already asked me about diving in Croatia, I figured I'll try do write some useful info and descriptions, but I also expect several other Croatian SB members to chime in and add their input about the locations they dive frequently. :) Most of my dives are located in...

Last saturday we went for a night dive, and after we assembled our gear, I noticed it would make sense to take this photo. :D A family night out? :)

I've emailed Ikelite on this, but while I wait for response, perhaps somebody here had the same issue and has a solution/workaround... I've recently purchased the IK9306.80 adapter for Inon AD lenses to be mounted on the 6154.90 housing for Fuji e900. However, when I try to mount either an...

I've just got this adapter for my Ike housing for Fuji e900. As I see it, and I might be wrong, I can mount the following Inon lenses on it: - UCL-165AD Close-up Lens - UFL-165AD Underwater Fisheye Conversion Lens - UWL-105AD Wide Conversion Lens Am I making any sense here? If so...

I'm planning on getting the Evolution 2 DS, so I'm also looking on their undergarment offering. I plan to use it in temperatures ranging from about 7-15 degrees C, no ice diving or similar. Is the Merino Evolution undergarment too warm selection for this purpose? From the website it seems I...

It seems that after some work on the site, the photo gallery doesn't seem to show thumbnails anymore, only filenames of the pictures. Am I the only one experiencing this? Also, sometimes the image loads, sometimes nothing happens. Work in progress? I guess the thumbnail database or similar...

I've browsed through a lot of posts in this section, but have found either attempts on getting the answer or a thread hijack, so let's give it a try. :) I'm thinking about getting a DS, could be XCD2 or Trilam HD, by Bare, but I gotta try them first to know am I really going that direction...

Anybody dove this drysuit yet? http://www.scubapro.co.uk/products.asp?P=624 I saw it a dive show recently, looked decent (didn't check the price tag though :)), but am somewhat puzzled by the spec - the link above says 'cordura material'... I'm planning to get a DS in September or so. I'm...

When I inhale (not exhale, it's not the tipical membrane honking kinda thing), my X650 started to make a whistling sound, on the surface. This lasts only 2-3 breaths and goes away, and it started doing this for the last 3 dives (pre-dive checks that is). The reg still breathes fine, and...

Since I added second 1st stage to my Y valve (single tank, steel), and it weighs almost 0.5kg (470g, that is), would this allow for removing the same amount of lead from my weightbelt? Number of 2nd stages has remained the same. I reckon 1st stage cannot be + bouyant since they sink like a...

I'm planning on using R390 octo from my MK25AF/X650 setup, and getting a MK2+ to be used as a redundant reg (in combination with the already mentioned R390) on a single tank. Since my dives are within recreational depths, and I don't see myself venturing into tech diving any time soon, I'm...

BT has <100, 100, 110 and 130% ascent speed (or similar numbers), and various state of the ascent arrow icon on it, for every rate over 100%. But, does anybody know to what (predefined in the software by the factory) speed of ascent is this percentage compared to? Nothing useful in the...

Hi all, does anybody know where can I find the service manual for Scubapro MK25AF/X650 regulator? So far I managed to find it for MK20 and various older models. AFAIK, the MK25 is somewhat similar & upgraded MK20? Still, nothing on X650. I don't think I'll be doing the servicing...
