I have both, I only have a couple of dives on the deep6 and I've had the aqualung for 10 years. I have no issues with either, I bought the deep 6 because my gf needed regulators do it was an existing to upgrade mine. Zef's post is pretty much dead on. I bought deep6 because I like their...

Hi everyone, Im looking for a new BP/W for my gf. The two that I'm looking at are the Deep6 with 30lb wing and SS back plate and the VDH 35lb wing with stainless backplate. For Backplate, harness, cam bands and wing they both cost pretty much the exact same (~$434) (no STA with deep6)...

We dove with Papa hogs on Coz recently and my gf did her check out dives down there and loved it, their process are pretty similar to everyone else from my research. They're super friendly and the DMs are good. Their Cafe also has delicious food. Personally I'd choose to dive on Coz but if you...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the advice and I will look into getting those books, even if I dont end up servicing my own regs I like to understand how things work, specially things that keep me alive. The Apeks kit my LDS suggested is actually the Tek3 kit which is less than ideal for...

Thanks everyone. It seems like the XTX50 is the way to go and that my LDS is way over priced. Just for clarification though all the prices were for doubles kits. Buying from 4thelement it would be 2x Apeks XTX 50 DST regulator DIN 300 with 5th Port Option includes hoses +40GBP shipping comes to...

Hi, Im looking for new regulators as my girlfriend has decided she likes diving and I want to move more into tech diving so I needed to upgrade anyway. My requirements are Environmentally sealed (I live in canada so it's cold) Support world wide (I dont know how long I will be in Canada for, I...

When looking at any kick starter it's always good to consider if it has a realistic chance of success. The amount they are trying to raise is about ~$50k CAD. There's simply no way to take a product from prototype into production for that amount of money. They will burn through that on tooling...

Squats aren't bad for your knees if performed correctly, this is a common misconception with absolutely no scientific backing (unless you have existing knee problems in which it may not be a good idea but it has also been known to help with knee problems depending on the issue.) I would...

Thanks guys, This is my fear with seaskin. Im going to go with one of the local stores (probably the DUI Yukon 2) assuming that it will fit nicely stock. Another local store has the Scubapro Evertech breathable, it's more expensive and the shop doesn't seem to sell a huge number of them...

Thanks for the advice everyone. I priced up a Seaskin Trilaminate with undersuit and dry gloves and it came out to about $1650CAD including shipping which seems like a pretty good deal. I was leaning towards steel tanks, I will keep an eye out for a deal on 100CF tanks. Would a 35lb wing as...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice. On the pricing that is CAD so multiply by 0.75 to get USD (they are all about 1500USD.) Seaskin looks much nicer and will probably come in a bit cheaper after everything. With so many options (looking at the seaskin but Im sure most MTM brands are...

Hi Everyone, I've been reading the forums a lot lately and Im a bit overwhelmed with all the information. I've been diving for about 15 years but only occasionally (a couple of dives a year) and Im certified to advanced open water and nitrox (although after reading the big thread about that...
