    Gasket for inflator hose

    To what extent are these generic? I need one for an Xdeep inflator, like the one in the link below, but I can't get this specific one in the UK. Can someone help? https://diveinprogress.com/en/672-Xdeep-gasket-inflator-scubadiving-accessories.html

    Regulator breathed wet in current

    Hi all. I just want to sense check a problem that I experienced with my regs. I recently had my Scubapro (MK25, A700) regs serviced by a reputable LDS near me. I did 10 (or so) dives with them without problem. Then, on one dive, I experienced a problem while I was hooked on in strong current...

    Joining webbing together (buckle or something else?!)

    I am going to replace the webbing on my harness and have thought of a good use for my old webbing - to secure my dog into our car. The plan is to loop a piece of the webbing together so that I can wrap it around a car seat. I'll attach a d-ring to it, which I will clip my dog to. So, simple...

    Xdeep Zen or Zeos

    I am in the UK and my preferred choice (Apeks) is out of stock and there is not a great deal of options out there. So I am considering purchasing an Xdeep, but I am having a hard time deciding whether to go for the Zen or Zeos. I am leaning towards the Zeos as a traditional BPW. This is for...

    First LOB - Red Sea March?

    Hi all I have to take some annual leave in March and I am thinking about going to the Red Sea (BDE). However, I'm a bit overwhelmed with options and not sure if it's the right time of year. We have around 60-80 logged dives each. We are thinking of going on the JP Marine or the MY Blue...

    Oceanic Vipers - time for a change?

    I am currently rocking Vipers (open heel) but I'm wondering if its time for a change and if I could have some recommendations. These are the only fins I've ever worn on my 70 or so dives, so I know nothing else. Most of my diving is wet suit tropical and so I want something that's travel...

    AL80 v AL100 (Luxfer) @ 200bar

    Hi all. I know there have been similar threads about this in the past but I can't work this out. I'm currently diving in tropical conditions. No wetsuit and a BP+W. Tank choices at my dive shop (only one I can visit) are AL80 and AL100. The dive school (only one I go to) fills all tanks to...

    Apeks bp/w - beginner review

    Hi all I know there's lots of threads on this but thought I would post my own. I was looking to purchase my first BCD a while ago and got sucked in to the bp/w route. And I'm so glad I did! I ended up purchasing a package of all Apeks stuff. (1) Stainless steel backplate, (2) WTX 30 wing (prob...

    BP/W Help me with weight pockets

    Hi all I've taken the advice of the forum and have purchased a BP/W setup with a SS backplate. Now need to choose weight pockets. I have lost a lot of fat since I last dived (now only a little podgy) so don't know how much extra weight I'll need to get down. In a 3mm wetsuit (or maybe even...

    Proposed bp/w set up - comments please

    Hi all Some background: I have only 25 dives under my belt and typically am a 'holiday' diver in hot climates, although I have just done my drysuit specialty for UK diving. I want to buy my first and only BCD. Initially I was looking at the Scubapro Hydros Pro or Aqua Lung Rogue, but I am...
