Hello In this article it is suggested that you can reset the average depth and it explains a scenario where average depth could be useful. I do not use the stopwatch often. AFAIK, it can be stopped, restarted and it can be resetted. However, none of these options is available on land. Bes...

Hello I use a similar setup. I secure the cable on the shoulder band with bicycle tire down to approximately the left d-ring. When you clip the light, the loop of the excess cable is about half the distance from the d-ring to your hand. It is too short to be stowed away in the waist band. But...

Hello, It should be A AFAIK. Restrictor B is for hoses. Best wishes Jens

Hello, The DIN and yoke connections must be tightened to 20 Nm for Apeks 1st stages, figures taken from the Black Sapphire manual, and 30 Nm for Scubapro 1st stages, figures taken from various Scubapro manuals. Best wishes Jens

Hello Buying products from Switzerland will always be expensive. Mares does not normally sell service kits and spare parts to end users. Is there no dive shop in your area that would order the CWD for you? Yes, reVo, who now use Mares regulators, use a metal plate instead of the flexible...

The link above gives a 404-error. Give this a try Bottomtimer - Bottomtimer - Zubehör But you need a scooter. :cool::D Best wishes Jens

What can one expect from a light that costs less than a coffee? Best wishes Jens

Hello I tried sliding Apeks clones on a Razor. They are good for aluminum but they did not hold steel tanks in place. I ended up with the micro sliding d-rings buckles from Audrey Cudel. Best wishes Jens

Hello, DFC does not facilitate breathing. It just counteracts the IP-drop when starting to breathe. Your work of breathing is determined by the cracking effort (work needed to open the valve; depends on the spring strength and distance of the poppet seat and the valve) and the breathing...

Hello This is heavy. Best wishes Jens

Hello, Do not make a dogma out of where to clip your tanks. You want them in the end to be parallel to your body. Whether this will be achieved by clipping them to the D drop-ring, a fixed D-Ring or a sliding D-ring does not really matter. The best attachment point depends on many factors...

Hello Every regulator delivers more air than anyone could ever breath. DFC stand for Dynamic Flow Control. Everytime you inhale, the IP drops little bit before returning to it’s adjusted level. Dynamic Flow Control reduces this drop in IP. It is basically an extra hole drilled in the...

Curious. How heavy are heavy steel tanks and lp85 tanks, btw? Best Jens

Hello, A Mares regulator, at least the older models, have the advantage that they would not have any adjustment knobs and would offer equal breathing effort in all depths. However, the MR 22 has only one DFC port if I remember correctly, which offers low breathing effort. This restricts in part...

Hello I use sliding d-rings and bungee loops for steel tanks (around 13 kg each). I use the square drop rings for stage tanks only and the pouch. Best wishes Jens

Well It happens to the best of us. I once changed the battery on my MH-8A transmitter. Pressure checked it. I must have missed the leak. On the next dive my computer showed erratic pressure readings. I found a couple of water drops in the battery case when I opened the battery case. A new...

HI Well, you could set the dive count such that it reflects your number of dives or any other number that suits you ,-) That does not restore any logs but at least you don‘t start with a dive count of 1. Best wishes Jens

Hi, You find a buoyancy-calculator here. My 12 liter, 200 bar Faber steel tanks weighs around 12.5 kg. That results in saltwater in -1.36 kg buoyancy per tank when full and 1.51 kg when completely empty. It is a little more in freshwater but my xdeep classic can handle the negative buoyancy and...

Hello, I keep mine on the right shoulder d-ring. I move them there during the last equipment check. Best wishes Jens

Hello, My canister light is mounted to the crotch strap (xdeep). The cable, made to measure, runs up along the spine over the left shoulder. On/Dimm/Off switch is on the light (Gralmarine). Best wishes Jens
