Hi there, I have broken the watchband on my mares smart air computer. Does anyone here know where I can get a replacement black/grey band ? Cheers Johnno

Hi there, Not so long ago I did a doubles primer training day with a GUE instructor. One of the many things I learned was about my trim. He fixed my trim by attaching a 2.5kg tail weight to my rig that I kept nice and flat, brilliant. I asked him if I could buy the weight off...

Thanks for the tip guys much appreciated

I was looking at a post I wrote on another thread in which I said that I dive with 4kg on my weight belt when diving doubles and a hefty 13kg on my weight belt when I dive a single (I'm a bit of a floater). For exposure, I wear a 1 piece 5mm semi-dry I'm thinking 13kg is waaay too much so am...

Don't worry mate, I practice unclipping, reading, and clipping again at the beginning of each dive right after I do my S drill Yes, I accepted the failure point but I figured if it was backed up with a mechanical device it would be ok. It's nice to be spoon-fed by my computer, I just don't...

. I thought the whole idea of a hog rig was to eliminate as many points of failure as possible. I like having the backup of a mechanical SPG (on my left post) to the transmitter I have on the right post when it comes to reading gas left in my tank

You have a 42' yacht? You bastard, I hate you. :scubadiver:

Thanks, Johnny C, I might just do that

As far as my weighting goes, at 4kig I am pretty much spot on. Experimenting with shore dive, I found that I could surface or go to the bottom using only breath control. When I Diving singles I dive with 13kg on my weight belt. I bought a set of ankle weights on the recommendation of the...

Yeah at 250 pounds I am a big bloke

My setup is as follows 5mm semi-dry one piece nth degree thermal top I carry 4kg weight in a weight harness (the belts kept on falling off me) halcyon steel plate halcyon 60-pound wing. I dive 12.2litre steel tanks I put the tanks in the upper position on the backplate to facilitate me...

Howdi, I recently have gotten into diving doubles and I seem to be having some problems with trim, ie my legs go up and my head goes down. In order to fix the problem, I bought online a set of APEKS RK3 fins. These are much heavier than my current set of fins and come in atn1.27kg each. will...

Good one divad, now I know which was to turn the isolation valve to make sure it is open, I will do this too

Good thinking scared silly. I have an SPG on the left cylinder and I have my dive computer's air integration on the right cylinder/ This could be a goer

cheers Tursiops, will do johnno

Nice one guys thanks for your advice. Even if I had the isolation valve closed I could have simply switched to the reserve regulator, but by this stage I was getting a bit worked up about it and decided that getting worked up about stuff is unsafe and it was better to be safe than sorry, so I...

Hi there, When you are diving doubles, which way do you turn the isolation valve on the manifold to isolate your two cylinders? I know this is a stupid question but it had been on my mind since I aborted a 30m dive because I could not confidently Identify that my isolation valve...

thanks for the feedback guys. I have been looking at aL vs steel too and it looks like steel is again less than aluminum. Steel tanks it is

G'day folks, I have recently started diving twins and I have a back condition. Because of this, I am looking at getting 2 12l carbon fibre tanks to save myself lifting a few extra Kg's Do any of the Aussie scuba divers here dive with carbon fibre tanks? Are they certified for use in...

Cheers Nate, happy to meet as many people on here IRL as possible.
