I’ve recently switched to long hose setup with 7ft primary and 22 inch octo and started to develop jaw fatigue never seen with traditional rec setup before. I’m diving single cylinder back mounted.
Thinking of adding an angle adapter (90 or 70 degree?) or a swivel to a second stage primary reg...
I have exactly same set up as OP. DUI CF200 + zip seals + Kubi 80mm.
As far as Kubi system itself, it’s flawless, never had an issue. Easy to use bare hands when gearing up and then just pop the rings prior to diving.
I do have an issue with zip seals material itself tho. Latex seals are being...
Hey Curious George,
By rubber port I meant this rubber piece which is part that came with inflator (small circle is outside of the suit and bigger one inside. But it’s a one piece)
Just for testing purposes, I attached the valve only to the neoprene without cordura at all (to eliminate the...
That’s great to know, thanks!
How do you deal with two layers of material near zipper where inlet valve is installed on the cf200 model?
Does the fabric material gets sandwiched into the rubber port along with neoprene (on the outside of the suit) or it’s just neoprene that needs to be...
Have you had any luck with inflator leak? How did you end up fitting the gasket on the suit in regards to the different layers?
I'm having exactly same issue with my CF200 and trying to figure out some solution. Hopefully without the glue as my dump valve is installed without any glue and...
Thank you for replies! I’ll go ahead and glue the gasket in the dive shop or myself and will give it another test dive.
Interestingly, my dump valve is not glued but doesn’t leak..
Hi All,
I might have been diving with improperly installed Si-Tech inflator valve on my drysuit for a few years.. trying to get to the bottom of it now.
I had a local repair dive shop install inflator and dump valves on my DUI CF200.
I've always had some leaking in the chest area and after...
Hi!
During last dive I noticed that my Light Monkey Tinkle balanced p-valve is leaking inside the suit.. I removed duckbill valve at home and noticed it developed a small crack, so it seems like that’s a culprit.
I’ve heard it’s a common issue and some people just replace duckbill with a plug...
Hi Divers!
I'm thinking about getting into the divemaster course but I'm a bit confused about my options for study materials.
I want to do Divemaster eLearning course from PADI for the academics part of the course.
Per PADI, in addition to the eLearning course I also need to get additional...
Hi Divers!
My friend and I are looking forward to Quintana Roo trip in June/July. It’s gonna be mostly scuba diving, obviously! We really want to check out Cenotes around Tulum and Whale Sharks near Isla Mujeres. Anyone has their favorite dive shop and accommodations for Cenotes diving?
Also...
Hi Scubaboard community!
I was hoping someone can give me tips on the best places to dive and stay in Cebu, Phillipines.
I’ll be there for a week in November 2018.
Do you have favorite dive operators, dive sites and places to stay?
Any other suggestions are very welcome as well!
So I (the shop, really) installed the valves on my CF200X and I went to local pool to test it out.
As it was my first dive in the drysuit ever, I can’t really compare it to other drysuit but it felt just great!
Next step is to move from 10 feet in the pool to the open water and see what it’s...
Thank you for all replies!
I’ll install the valves and hopefully zipper and material (crashed neoprene in this model) will hold the water pressure during dives.
I guess lack of the valve is the only difference between surface and scuba type in this mode of the suit?
Hi All!
This is my first post, very excited to finally post something here :)
I bought used DUI drysuit recently. It is DUI CF200X, however when it came to me i was very surprised to realize that it doesn’t have inlet and dump valves installed!
It doesn’t even have holes for them!
Other then...
