    Is it possible to downsize Apeks Tech Shorts?

    I bought a pair of new without tags Apeks tech shorts on eBay for $20 shipped. They‘re a size XL, and I normally wear between medium and large (sz 35). I was wondering how to best go about downsizing them to fit me. I was thinking of washing them in warm water and drying on low heat a few times...

    Can someone tell me the name of this bungee/shock cord knot? [picture]

    this is actually my computer, but someone else tied the knots and I’m not sure what type they are. I plan on replacing the cord and using the same knot, as it’s worked out really well for me.

    Should I buy this as my first entry into the world of bp/w?

    I’m currently in the Philippines until November, and after getting a Shearwater Perdix AI a few days ago, I’m thinking I may as well move from my regular “poodle jacket” bcd (an Atomic Aquatics BC1) to a bp/w. Or at least start getting pieces of one together... One of the other DM’s is...

    Check them out in my “for sale” ad - I’ll trade both for a new or used Perdix AI with a transmitter. One of the Cobalt 2’s is new, the other has 30 dives and counting at this point.

    Missing diver in Sabang, Puerto Galera, Philippines.

    For some reason it doesn’t seem like this has hit the news yet, but on the 1st a Chinese diver diving with Dawei dive shop in Sabang went missing on a dive in the Canyons off Sabang Beach. My understanding is he’s pretty experienced, fit, about 50, has been to Sabang yearly for the last 6 years...

    What are these guys doing?!

    I saw these guys swimming around today (im in the Philippines until November) and couldn’t figure out why they were carrying around a whole additional rig. Maybe they heard of side-mount and got confused about what it was? :wink: Anybody have any clues?

    Atomic Cobalt 2: 20m deco after short dive to 45m... super conservative - why? How to change?

    I was on my first dive of the morning to 45 meters (after a 24 hour dive break) and the computer put me in 20+ minutes of deco after hitting 45m after about 15 minutes. The resort owner and I were diving together pretty much at identical depths (he was using a shearwater) and he only had about...

    How do you pack your gear for an internatIonal dive trip?

    I’ve gone on international dive trips before, but only once with my own gear. Then, I just checked it all and hoped for the best. Now that I’m about to leave on my next 3-month trip to Manila, and have MUCH nicer gear than before, I’m wondering if I should do it differently. I’ve got 2 dive...

    Wait time after getting implants?

    No, not THOSE kind of implants. :) I’m headed back to Asia next week for 3 months and am getting 2 dental implants while I’m there. On the first day I get there they’ll be putting the posts in, then letting them heal before putting crowns on. The teeth are in my back right upper (#2) and back...

    What’s the most useless/coolest piece of gear you’ve seen on a dive?

    Mine is both the coolest and most useless thing at the same time.. a Korean diver who was at the shop I was doing my internship with brought a vortex ring bubble generator, hooked up to one of his LP hoses. I can make them with my hands and some exhalation air, but this thing was on a whole...

    What’s the most random or awesome thing you’ve found on a dive?

    My weirdest would have to be on a dive in 2017 I made in the Philippines while doing a 3-month DM internship... I found a half-empty aluminum scuba cylinder just hanging out on the bottom during a drift dive. It wasn’t rigged up for doubles or anything, it just looked like someone had forgotten...

    Shot a human sized cobia today.. he’s a monster.

    About to be back at the dock - here’s today’s big catch. The rest are a crap ton of red snapper... not worth photographing... but all good eating... and no, I didn’t disrespect the fish. Other than putting a bolt of hardened spring steel through his torso, that is.

    (edited) Second thoughts about posting hunting pictures that disrespect our prey

    The question is tongue-in-cheek, obviously I know that they can’t breathe above water. That didn’t stop us from trying - successfully – to put a scuba tank into the mouth of one that we made an instant kill on (a rarity for AJs) a few weeks ago. To help him breathe out of water. 127 lbs.

    Atomic Spring Straps

    I am immediately in the market for a pair of atomic spring straps. I wear a large or extra large, if that makes a difference. If you happen to have one by one trade instead, I have the regular rubber straps that go on them and will swap those plus money, too.

    Closed Atomic Aquatics BC1 bcd, new, unused, with tags. Black. MSRP over 1500 including tax, asking 1k.

    The size is ML, but I wear a Large in Cressi and Aqualung have no problem fitting this one. I’m 6’ and 250 lbs, so unless you’re about 6’2 and 275, then this should fit you fine. I purchased it brand new from a dive shop and it has never been used in the water. Only in my living room, and that...

    Does anyone have Atomic technician manuals newer than the ones from 2003?

    Well, the title really speaks for itself. I’ll be spending half a year several thousand miles from the nearest Atomic repair shop, and would like to have the service manual/technician training manuals on hand in case Murphy visits and I need to take something apart. Bardo’s (Jason’s) site...

    Has anyone heard of a scuba brand named “Argon”?

    The title basically says it all… I was gifted with a SMB a few years back that I really like. On the top of it, the company name “ARGON” is printed in silver, with a dot under the A and a stylized “A” symbol above it. I’ve hunted eBay for products by them and Google to see if I can find a...
