OK so I knew I had a problem but it was not until I went to organize/consolidate some of my gear bags that I saw just how bad it was!! 9 pairs!! OK Maybe I need help. In my defense only 7 pairs are mine. The pink ones are for my two daughters. Now I find my mind wandering towards a...

My team has been using the LGS harnesses for years and they work pretty well. I recently saw on youtube and their site that they have an add on piece that will add weight pouches to the harness. I have been looking to move weight from my BC to my body and was just wondering if anyone had used...

On my previous dry suit the inflator hose was long enought that I could run it under my arm thus reducing the number of hoses (entanglement hazards) coming over my shoulder. I tried to do it on my Viking Dry suit hose but the 42" hose supplied from Viking will not reach. I believe the Viking...

I received a Friends request and after checking the box and clicking the save the little circle keeps spinning and spinning and nothing happens. I have tried refreshing. Restarting explorer and restarting window with no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Mark D.

I would like any feedback on the SAR Catalyst. I am considering getting one of these suits and would like any information available. Thanks Mark D.

I was snorkeling with my eight year old daughter last night. She had her mask, snorkel and fins kit form another to remain unamed company and I had my yellow pros with neoprene boots. She commented on how my fins made me look like a mermaid (She really likes mermaids, she has watched Aquamarine...

Just Curious. The look like Fab Force SD-1 but they differ from the onese picutred on the website. Also what is the status of the Fab Force and why are they unavailable? Mark D.

Someone asked me a good question the other day and I did not have a clue. Does anyone know if any scuba masks meet the ANSI Z871 spec for safety glasses? The questioned centered around our divers doing work on the surface that would normally require safety glasses. If someone made a mask that...

Our team has always been a dive rescue team but recently our commanders realized that were were getting called for any type of water rescue situation. While we do have some gear like PFD's, Helmets, Ropes and rigging etc, we have never done swiftwater training. Our Board of Directors decided...

Ok so I just had to post one of the best dive training opportunities I have been part of in a while. Here in Connecticut we have all types of PSD teams. My team is an all volunteer FD regional based team. Some of our response area overlaps another dive team which is a regional PD team. "CREST"...

Guys, Need some help on this one. My dive team is looking to get pricing for new helmets. Our guidlines directs us to use the helmets for towing operations and current diving. Our existing helmets are standard swift water helmets which are very bouyant and more importantly do not fit with our...

OK so my new PRO1000 is in. It turns out due to some confusion with terminology my suit came with the standard sleeve rings instead of the bayonet ring system I thought I was ordering. I asked the rep about getting it added to the order and he said that he would check but believed there was a...

I recently had the opportunity to demo a Divator MKII system and surface supply unit. The IS rep said OTS specifically John H. and one other gentleman were working to integrate a wire comm system with their surface supply hose. Any update on how it is going and when it might be available? Our...

DISCLAIMER: I am not an Interspiro rep nor am I receiving any money from them for this report. This is just one volunteer public safety diver’s report on a couple hours spent in a pool using this equipment. I am trying to keep this unbiased and fair so anyone else interested in something like...

Just a quick note to mention how happy I was with my recent order from Tobin. It was just some small things like wrist mount for my bottom timer, LP hose release and his custom poly point rings. Very cool stuff and it was processed and shipped very quickly. I cannot wait to order my plate and...

I just got my DSS wrist mount and went to try out my Mares bottom timer and it died. :( Is there any hope to get this repaired/battery replaced or is it a throw away? Here is a picture of it. Thanks

Just had the opprotunity to to check out a demo PSDD suit this weekend. It was a self entry diagonal zipper with the protective outer zipper option. It had latex wrist and neck seals as well as a couple of pockets and hard sole boots. The suit was incredibly constructed and the armpits and groin...

After 7 years of diving with my dive team I finally got around to taking an official public safety diving course. I just have to say that it was fantastic and of course I wish I had done it sooner!! The class was hosted by NUSAR (Newtown Underwater Search and Rescue) of Newtown, CT which is an...

Ok, So I have been thinking about working to improve the overall fitness or my fellow firefighters and PS Divers. In my department I have been talking to the chief trying to get him to make a fitness test mandatory for all interior firefighters. The state has a standard test called the CPAT...
