    Used Bauer Oceanus vs brand new PE100 or Junior II

    Hi! How is your experience going with the PE100? I am on the fence between this, Junior 2 and the Coltri MCH6, since Bauer setup in India is better and my knowledge about compressors is minimal, I am leaning towards the Bauer Junior II as it seems most famous here in India. I only need to fill...

    Are you talking about the 6 icons on the app itself or the buttons on the housing? Maybe put an image for us to see.

    Ikelite??????

    Hi Terry, Sorry for the off topic question, but why do you not use the g7x ii for macro? From what I read it is supposed to be insane for macro shots. Do you use the wide angle lens with a short port or with the standard port? I am asking because I will be purchasing the G7X ii soon, unless...

    Huh? MK25 is one of the most expensive First Stages in the Scubapro lineup. the 600 series is also in the upper end. These are not the "Lower cost" options.

    The price difference between say a MK25 EVO + G260 Setup vs a MK 25 EVO + S620Ti, isn't much. If I play my cards right, I might get the A700 for myself and give my reg to my wife, else get her the S620Ti itself.

    Point well taken. Will keep it in my mind when making a decision. You make a very compelling argument. Difference is 100% between the S620Ti and the other options I was looking at, will save up and get her the best, she can use mine until I can afford it i guess lol.

    You took the words right out of my mouth, I didn't want to say anything because there are enough people on this forum who hijack the conversation to take out the issues with your needs and requirements.

    Regulator Suggestions for the Wife

    Well thats the thing, her dives are in single digit right now, and there is no sense buying a S620Ti for her at this stage, specially if she won't continue diving. Its financially unsound for us. Which in turn means that the value she places on it will not be greater than another model as long...

    Regulator Suggestions for the Wife

    Hi Guys, Took my wife diving on our honeymoon and she was having a tough time adjusting to breathing underwater using the cheap rental reg. so I gave her my S620Ti to try and lo and behold she adjusted very quickly due to being able to breathe much easier. I will be buying her new gear as we...

    Any equipment buying regrets ?

    Cheap SMB and Reel I bought at a Dive Shop in Khao Lak. I bought a useless Mares SMB after that until I bought an Apeks Reel with Best Divers SMB, now I don't dive without this setup.

    Diving with a beard and a necklace bungee secondary

    Side question: While diving to depths requiring Deco, wouldn't it be safer to ensure minimal pressure points such as shaving or trimming your beard to ensure no distractions while switching gases?

    Butt Plate or Back D Ring for Recreational BCDs

    Would you suggest that I should seriously consider adding a crotch strap to recreational diving as well? Haven't really given much of a thought to it till date.

    Butt Plate or Back D Ring for Recreational BCDs

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, while Hydros Pro looks like the ideal option, it is double the price from the other alternatives. I can easily rig something like what The Chairman suggested as I don't use a crotch strap, but it looks like something I can sew onto the BCD.
