    Use Nose plugs or is there a bigger issue?

    Hi. I noticed for shallow dives (snorkeling and less than 30 feet) I seem to struggle keeping my nose plugged and air escapes into my mask or something and I get water in my mask. This does not seem to be an issue at deeper depths. It is distracting and annoying. I was thinking of using nose...

    This looks really cool. Anyone use one? I think it makes sense and would be visible, but not sure how good it is in real life scenarios. Just looking for opinions from those that have actual experience. Thanks

    Too many trim pockets??? Such a thing?

    hi all. I currently use 2 trim pockets on the top tank straps of my BPW. Since I use 20lbs of weight in my 3ml wetsuit, I thought of using 2 more trim pockets on the lower tank straps and putting all weight in those 4 pockets. Good idea or not? Any possible issues short of not having ditchable...

    Tried the new boots and Eddy Fins today. A quick review

    So I bought the Deep6gear thick boots and Eddy Fins. Finally got to try them out today. The boots are a little barrow for my foot but overall comfortable. I got used to wearing them on the boat. Only thought was a) they could use a drainage hole, and b) were a little tough to get off. To be...

    Hi. I recently acquired a Zeagle BPW (aluminum back plate). I will only get access to it in a few months, but I have a few questions. 1) it came with an STA. Should I leave it on or remove it? I like the idea of removing it, but I figured it’s there for a reason. Would love to get opinions...

    What is the difference - BCDs

    Hi. New diver. I know this is an expensive hobby, and we trust our lives on our gear, but I am curious to learn what is the difference between a 400 BCD and a 2000 BCD. From my newbie eyes, I can see some weight differences, but in the end, will I not have the same benefits with both? Thanks
