I recently got a drysuit but I'm not a fan of the installed boots. They are hard rubber and don't allow much for ankle movements. The biggest problem though is that the boots don't really fit in my scubapro jet fins.
Instead of spending $150 on new fins and straps and still having boots I'm not...
I have 5 AL80's that I tend to carry around in the back of my truck. I usually just leave them there because they get used often so it's easier than carrying them somewhere else just to haul them back out again.
My problem is keeping them back there in a way that they are stable and don't move...
I am diving side mount doubles, usually around 45-65fsw, but sometimes deeper. What is an acceptable amount of redundant air to carry, if any? I have a 3cf spare air that I shouldn't have bought but I didn't know better when I got it. I also have a 19cf pony bottle.
Part of me thinks no...
I have a pair of ScubaPro XL jet fins with spring straps. I just got a drysuit and the boots are big and won't fit these fins.
I am not attached to the brand, but I would like to trade for a pair of similar style fins in XXL.
There has got to be someone out there with jet fins that are too...
I spend most of my time on an island where I don't have access to tank fills. This means I have to carry my tanks back and forth to the mainland to get them filled. So I would like to explore some other options.
I have been looking at compressors and it looks like it would cost me somewhere...
I recently got a drysuit. It is still at the LDS for a couple days so they can trim the neck seal for me and aquaseal the seams (the LDS owner said it would prolong the life of the suit). It is a neoprene suit with neoprene seals.
I probably should have ordered it with a dry hood and dry...
I've searched for the answer to this but can't find it. Is there a rec diver course that teaches how to make deco dives? I have been taught to never violate NDL, but I know people do make deco dives. Is this something that is only taught in tech diving courses? I am specifically asking about...
I started watching a documentary several weeks ago about the Blue Hole in Egypt. I didn't get very far into it, but I did get to a story about a diver who lost his life there. He was unqualified and under-equipped for the dive he was attempting. The narrator or host of the documentary was...
A friend of mine gave me a regulator setup that he had laying around for 8 or 10 years. I dropped it off at my LDS a couple months ago to get serviced. I just got it back and the cost was $221. He said that the 1st stage needed a new piston (the old one was in the bag).
On the receipt I see that...
I have a Suunto Zoop (old school zoop not the zoop novo)
I just went for a dive doing some SAR. The max depth was 62' but I was searching along a ledge so although I started my search at 62' I was soon at 45', then back down to 55' then back up a little and back down. The ledge I was searching...
I don't know if this is worth starting a thread for, but I don't know where else to ask this.
In my OW class I was taught that you not only need to equalize your ears/sinuses on your descent, but also on your ascent by swallowing or moving your jaw.
The thing is I have never had to do this...
I am a fairly new diver. I know that eventually I would like to progress towards tech/cave diving, but that will probably be a while.
I recently watched a video by ISE where he shows how to set up a toddy style sidemount rig.
So I was just wondering if this would be a good way for me to...
I know this is a long shot but I am hoping someone has one they aren't using. I really don't want to spend the $50 one of these stupid things cost brand new.
I really want to get into metal detecting while diving. I have no experience at all with metal detectors. I don't need anything that will go super deep, but something that can handle 30fsw is a must.
What should I be looking for? Are there any detectors in particular that anyone reccomends? My...
I recently got a bp/w rig and I am having a little trouble with the fit. I have been using this guide to adjust the fit of the harness DIR-diver.com - Adjust the backplate
My issue though is that when I have the bp positioned and the harness adjusted the way this guide shows, I can't reach my...
I want my buoyancy/trim to be like the GUE/DIR guys. I've been reading as much as I can but I'm not finding anything that starts from the ground up.
So I have a couple questions. Will a NAUI perfecting buoyancy class really help much? Will the things I learn there be in conflict with the...
Hey everyone. I have been having some problems with my mask. I have a pretty big nose and my mask has been pushing on my septum. I don't feel it at first, but by the end of a dive the bottom of my nose is pretty sore.
I would like to get a new mask that fits better. I am starting to learn...
I've looked through the owners manual and it says
"Aqua Lung does not offer a twin cylinder kit for your BC. If you want to adapt twin cylinders to your BC, you must consult with your professional dive retailer about after-market twin band kits that would work with your specific model.
Before...
I was just recently watching a video on youtube of a panicked diver caught in a downcurrent. The diver made an ascent that looked way too fast, along with their dive buddy. When they got to the surface the buddy of the panicked diver kept saying "Go back down to 30 feet! We need to go back to 30...
I'm sure if I took the time I could find most of this out with google. I've tried to figure out most of this but I just get information overload sifting through information that doesn't pertain to what I am looking for.
So my questions are
1.What is the difference between Master Diver and Dive...
