    1 x 12 litre steel 1 x 10 litre steel 1 x Al40 Own because I work shifts and prefer to know I have cylinders ready to go when I am and because I'm edging towards solo diving so will be taking as much control and responsibility for my personal gear as possible, taking classes for reg service...

    Explorer 30 or Advanced 35

    Greetings folks, quick question. Having briefly looked at what info is available on the internet does anyone know the difference/value of differentiating between the RAID Explorer 30 and Advanced 35 courses? Obviously other than having an advisory bottom limit of either 30 or 35 meters what...

    Please don't shoot me, BPW question

    Thanks, I've just been lucky in that my preferred plate sandwiches my wing between the STA and has corresponding holes allowing me to thread my cam bands through all of it effectively causing the weight of the tank to be supported by the plate. But I've also seen a lot of STA's bolted to the...

    Please don't shoot me, BPW question

    Hi folks, quick question for you. When using a BPW and single tank adaptor, do you make sure that the tank cam straps pass through all parts of your rig? Eg through the plate, wing and STA or are you happy with it just passing through the STA? I ask as I've found certain manufacturers holes...

    Identification help please.

    Regulator BJ. You sir are a legend, how bizarre that a Pom who's moved to Oz would be helped by a fellow Brit from across the water. Thanks a lot, I was thrown by the ScubaPro second stage buran Oz manufactured first makes perfect sense. Now to see if I can get it serviced still?

    Help needed, tank/valve issues

    On the way back home now, as hoped, they pulled both O rings from the din insert for me and replaced them free of charge. The inner one was fairly flat and the outer pretty cracked. Feeling confident.

    Help needed, tank/valve issues

    Many thanks folks, don't currently have a second set of regs to test the tank with but I have tried my regs on another tank so I've ruled those out in a reverse kind of way. I made sure the insert was fully nipped up so it wasn't that. So now I've pulled the insert and will be changing both...

    What regs do you use?

    A matching pair of Hog Classics matched to a Hog D3 first stage. I'm intending to take there service course and hopefully stockpile a few kits to keep me going for a good while. Rigged with a long hose primary and a short hose second on a necklace.

    Help needed, tank/valve issues

    Hi folks, hoping I'm just being a bit thick here but I have a question. I recently purchased a Catalina S40 for use as a slung pony bottle. First stamped in 2013 and then left in a LDS till they closed down recently. So I picked it up as being in "As new" condition, never dived and to be fair it...

    Identification help please.

    Thanks for the reply. Also in the box was a ScubaPro R190 2nd stage which suggests many moons ago they may have been a set, however there is no branding on the 1st stage at all.

    Help with identification please.

    Greetings folks. I am not 100% sure this will be the correct board for this so I apologise in advance if I've got it wrong. I picked up some second hand gear the other week which included a US diver Aquarius 1st stage as well as a matching era 2nd stage. In the bundle was another 1st stage which...
