Thanks

Thanks, but not really interested in buying secondhand regulators right now. Just after some advice for the questions I posted to pass into my bro.

Currently I use an XTX50/40 but my brother is looking at the new Aqualung Leg3nd. He was asking me about the MBS versus the Elite and I couldn’t really help him other than say the MBS sounded more simple to operate. can anyone enlighten me on why someone would practically benefit from choosing...

As I mentioned, I have both so I can see the advantages from both sides. I have about 50 dives on each, maybe more on the Hydros now and while there is no argument the DiveRite BP/W is more durable I haven’t had any issues with the Hydros. I did drop the BP/W and the backplate sliced through...

If you are not going into wrecks or caves and money isn't a major factor I would recommend the Hydros Pro. All the benefits of a wing with the comforts of a light BCD and fits like a glove (literally). I also own a DiveRite BP/W which is extremely durable and is good value for money but for...

Currently own both the Hydros Pro and a DiveRite XT Wing with an STA and all the accessories. Purchased the DiveRite BP/W setup first and went through the hassle of setting it all up perfectly and its been fantastic (50+ dives now). Its a simple design, tank doesn't shift about and the added...

Shearwater in many respects hold the mantle of 'best in class' so its up to them to keep innovating or someone else to leapfrog them. In the interim the Teric has really set the new standard so we will probably see more computers trying to mimic that level of functionality at lower price points...

Hard to pick just one.... 1) Reliability 2) Ease of use (interface, buttons, readability) Most important thing is that the computer is reliable and it can be depended on to provide accurate information for the type of diving you are doing. That said, its pretty hard to find a new computer...

Currently dive the XT Wing. Within the first month I owned it I put it on a hook to dry and unfortunately the hook snapped one evening and the wing and back plate dropped 5 feet onto a concrete slab. The back plate cut right through the outer and inner layer on both sides of the wing! Patched up...

I am not aware of the laws outside my own backyard. If its not possible to string them up below the float line having a 'float boat' is equally as effective if not more effective when spearfishing. Having borrowed a float boat a couple of times, despite being bigger they tow much easier and...

Hi, Was interested to know if anyone had any novel ideas or inventions (equipment) that improved the process of transporting Crayfish while scuba diving? Basically, what I am getting at is that when free diving I use a float on the surface with a line I carry either attached to a speargun or...

Batteries are fairly easy to replace with a screwdriver. Keep an eye on the o-ring any sign of wear its best to replace it at the same time.

Have just put handles on my steel tanks. The ones i use can be pivoted around the tank and can also snapped up or down so they are flush with the tank or BCD back plate. I have found zero downside to having these and they make life so much easier when transporting tanks around the place (home...

If it’s your only set of Regs you are taking that’s an issue worth considering. However, in a world with the internet and mobile phones it’s not hard to call ahead an check with the local operator if they can service the regs you have in a pitch. Alternatively, get them serviced before you go or...

Apeks DST XTX50/40 - everyday and doubles Apeks XL4+ - backup, travel and friends that are too cheap to hire gear It was a bit of a risk buying the XL4+ setup but I needed an extra set of regs as I often take friends on the boat. I didn't really like loaning out my XTX50 sets so it made sense...

After much debate and a few sleepless nights I went with the Shearwater Teric and its been absolutely fantastic. One the hardest things I find is that when not diving every day its really hard to remember everything and with Shearwater I find the menus so intuitive it makes a huge difference. I...

Will need to read the manual on that section again. However, if that is the case it would be a terrible idea haha.

This might be a larger topic that someone could help link me to. However, since I have a Teric this seemed like a decent place to asked more experience users.... Situation: Heading away on a week long live-aboard where we will be both Spearfishing (Free Diving) and Scuba Diving. Question 1...

Hi, Have looked through the manual I now have a few questions about the firmware update via Sheawater Cloud. 1) where do you go to identify which version of software is currently installed on the Teric? 2) when I connect to Shearwater cloud via IPhone and click update nothing happens. I have...

The price different is quite significant just for the extra HP port and getting the option of a white second stage.
