    Review Pilot industrial paint markers, fin customization

    I got some Pilot industrial paint markers. They're supposed to be flame, cold and water resistant, and are quite opaque. So I decided to test them out first on monoprene Scubapro Go Sports, and soon on technopolymer Xdeep EX1's. I'll post updates on longevity. As for application. It was...

Me personally I run a single baldder wing, and route it from the right tank, along my long hose, on a short inflator hose, 90deg to the tank. My reasining for this is that I have my chest unobstructed, and I can easily disconnect...

    I have the chance to get a good set of two 10L steel tanks (narrow one's) with opposing valves for a good price. And I wanted to ask any more experienced sidemounters do they think if this is a good set trim and buoyancy wise. They're Faber 10L European steel tanks. 50ish cm in height. Same...
