Hello everyone, I've been diving dry for about three years now and I've been cold in winter for about three years now. It's usually fine just up to mid November (8-9 degree water temp) but after when we get into the low 7-6-5 it becomes difficult on longer dives (over 45 min). I always just...

Hello everyone, has anyone seen any releases, or read anything about the Scubapro Seawing Supernova's? it seems to be a new model they are releasing, but I've not seen any communication anywhere? It seems to be convertible from full foot to open heel. Interesting concept in beefing up the...

Hello everyone, while watching the Thai cave rescue documentary I saw something quite funny: one of the british divers extracting the boys used two apeks Manta 5000 regulators. Not the poseidon cyklons or the apeks mtx-r's you see alot on British cave divers, but this peculiar thingy...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a new g250 just to steal the guts for my r109's. I saw this one I bought has a plastic vulcano orifice. Are there any benefits compared to the metal ones? I know that they changed the metal orifice on the d350 and 400's to 'improve ice shedding'. Is this...

Hello everyone, I've now clocked 250 dives on my old mk5 + r109's now and have recently started to become more interesting in going the technical diving route. While I had a nice instructor who allowed me to use my 'antique' combo as he called it, for my advanced eanx and all the tech...

Hello everyone, I've been doing some dives on my ots guardian to get used to it lately. I like the feeling of diving with an ffm, but somehow I always get pain on my cheekbones after a dive. Also because even the highest nose tabs with the high wire were too low for me too equalise I've had to...

Dear scubaboarders, my girlfriend have decided to go on a last minute holiday to France this year, (south of France) Saint-Cyprien and the Perpignan region specifically. I've dived the Costa Brava (Medes, Rosas and those typical areas) multiple times and loved it. Alot of live, big groupers...

Hi everyone, the title basically says it all. I'm looking for a flexible neoprene drysuit. Since almost all diving I do is between 40 and 50 degrees, I was thinking of atleast 4mm compressed, or crushed. To all the trilam divers, I appreciate the input, but I'm specifically looking for a...

Hello everyone, I've been looking for an underwater housing for a Sony ZV-1. My girlfriend bought this camera a year ago because she wanted to make better photos for her instagram... I'm aware of the limitations of the camera with it's tiny sensor, integrated lens etc etc. but I've been...

I was wondering if anyone had ever dived the Pirello Explorer two stage regulator with the weird bellow? I've looked for one for ages but have always missed out on the bid when there was one passing buy on ebay. The real question would also be: is it properly diveable? How is wob etc? And what...

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to get a seat for the Sp mk10 to make it 100% Oxygen compatible. I'm not sure what the standard seats are made of so have no real frame of reference to how they withstand Oxygen use above 50%. I have both the classic White seats and the newer ones...

Dear scubaboarders, I recently purchased a second hand mk2 x-stream. I've done some dives on the xstream and really dislike the second stage breathing compared to the cyklons. I quite often do very shallow dives and I felt especially in shallow dives it's not the most comfortable because it...

Dear scubaboarders, There's alot of anecdotal evidence and info to be found about detuning your regs for really cold water diving. Usually it consists of both detuning thé first and second stage. However I can't really find any real literature on the use of detuning your first stage for cold...

Hello dear scubaboarders, Recently I've been diving alot with people who have very DIR-oriented views , and they kept pressing me to change out some stuff in my gear setup to dive completely DIR-conform.(computer was high on left arm with light right and compas was on left crown of the hand + 5...

Hello Dear Scubaboarders, As some of you may or may not know i'm a bit of a scubapro mk5/109 fanatic. Now a while ago I finally managed to get a set op 5th port + din turret Mk5's from German second hand sites and combine it with my 109s I already had lying around. I have the small problem...

Hi guys, I heard a rumour from an employee at a divestore that Suunto is currently looking to release a software upgrade that you can buy for 70 odd pounds for the Eon Steel and Eon Core so they will also run Bühlmann 16c with Gradient factors instead of the fused RGBM they use now. I have no...

Hello guys, I'm currently using a cressi leonardo dive computer. It is unreadable when diving in murky waters. I was wondering what computers are considered standard or suitable for diving in 0 vis? With kind regards, Joris

Hello guys, sorry for the clickbait title but I have finally assembled my holy grail vintage regulator. The mk5 in DIN, with the modern hp ports and the fifth top port AND the spec cap holes AND a piston in perfect condition. I know it might be very underwhelming to most people, but I had to...
