    $55,00 for the case alone is a ridiculous price already. We are talking about silicone after all..........

    Which treatment for jet fin

    The only things you can do to maintain your fins are: - Wash them with fresh water - Store them in a proper position with nothing heavy on top which can alter the shape of the rubber. - Do not leave them under the sun as UV rays do not get along with rubber. Honestly, I am not sure if hanging...

    Dive computer recommendation

    I have been using a Perdix for about two years and I definitely recommend it. Here are some reasons: 1 - Durable as a tank (If you want you can also get rubber casing for better protection. Please see image below). 2 - Big Screen. 3 - Standard AA battery (no need to worry about a charging...

    My journey towards the three stars (3*)

    What I am saying is that the main goal of the entire course is to learn how to handle and guide a diving group (including assessment, prevention and how to manage an emergency). Of course you learn other skills but I believe it depends on your instructor. During the 16 hours of Theory (14 hours...

    The *3 C.M.A.S program I had in Italy was under F.I.P.S.A.S (Italian diving federation bla bla bla) and did not include decompression dives nor planning one. According to the Italian federation this is what I am qualified as: -Dives at a Maximum depth of 42 m inside the NDL. -Dive guide (Dive...

    My journey towards the three stars (3*)

    I got my CMAS 3* certification last summer (took us 8 months) and here is what I have experienced. Apart from the 16 hours of theory, 20 hours in confined waters and around 15 dives (several of them with leading a group), the skills are pretty much narrowed to the management of a diving group...

    Weighting suggestions for new setup.

    Giving the thinner wetsuit, aluminum backplate and aluminum tank I suggest you to go with 6kg in total. The difference between a stainless steel - aluminum backplate is around 1.5kg and an aluminum tank at 50 bar will be around 1.4 kg positively buoyant. Usually I have 4 kg on the belt and I zip...

    Thoughts on Mares Hybrid Pure?

    My advice is to take a look at the Apeks WTX-D30 travel set. I am currently using one and it is a tank. Have been using it for several years in cold, warm, fresh, sea water and some rough rivers. PROS: 1- Extremely lightweight 2- Durable 2- Tight Package 3- Modular system (you can add a...

    What is the context of your FIN preferences?

    I am currently using jet fins and quite happy with them. However, I have tried the Hollis F1 fins and they are pretty sweet. They can generate a lot of power when you need it and at the same time you can easily do slow frog kicks.

    Questions regarding eSCR

    Price is one of the cons for sure unless you are able to find a second hand unit in perfect conditions.

    New Santi Elite Plus?

    I have ordered one over a month ago and still waiting for it....... I guess that not only girls make you wait that long. Quality wise I can only say SANTI. Performance wise as soon as I punch some dives with it I will let you know.

    Apeks Fusion KVR1 with aircore

    I bought a KVR1 on December 2017 for ~USD 1.900 from Simplyscuba. So far I had over 10 dives in cold water (7-9 degrees Celsius) and I am honestly happy with it. Initially, donning was quite a challenge but once you get familiar it's easy. The Overall quality of the suit is excellent, Si-Tech...

    Poor Quality On Apeks Tech Shorts

    Hello Yu, thank you for your review. I bought the same pants last year and so far I have not encountered the same issue. I am no instructor; therefore, I do not dive as much as you do. However, I have some experience in the textile industry and I believe this problem is related to dry salt. If...
