I got my DGX BP/W in a few days ago and tried it yesterday at Lake Lanier. Man! Am I impressed! The trim and comfort and ability to customize my fit and usability of this BP/W has me really pumped! Just walking around it felt more secure and not feeling as much weight as a usual BCD setup...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of going to a Zeagle BP/W in the near future. I've been looking at the Zeagle BP/W system and notice the wing nuts and bolts from the single tank adapter(STA) protrude somewhat in the backplate next to the diver and was wonder if it might tear or puncture my Seaskin Nova...

Hi guys, I am thinking of going to a BP/W set up in the future and am considering the Xdeep Ghost or the HOG TCBS( HOG dealer, Divers Supply is here in the Atlanta area) Anyone used these two BP/Ws and how do they compare in comfort, ease of use, etc. in and out of the water with these two...

Hi, I was wondering if I there are any SDI instructors in the ATL area that would be willing to do SDI AOW checkout dives for me at Lake Lanier? l have dove Lake Lanier for a number of years and know what to expect vis wise when diving there. Sure, it's not Florida or the Caribbean, but it's...

Hi guys, I had thyroid cancer back in 2020 and had my thyroid removed. After 4 radioactive iodine treatments, my thyroglobulin levels had remained high. I had a CT scan back in May and it showed a small mass, smaller than a golf ball, under my sternum, which was some of the remnants of the...

Hi guys, I'm thinking of getting another reg. set and have some interest in getting a HOG D3 Yoke. I've read some comments from other users that the 2nd stage is pretty heavy. How has it been comfort wise for those of you that use them and how are they with breathing at depth? Would you...

Hi guys, I really thinking of going to a BP/W setup and I like what I see with the XDeep Zeos bcd, 38 lb wing with a stainless backplate and added weight pockets. I want to be able to dive saltwater in the summer and drysuit diving in the colder months in freshwater. I have been diving a...

I have a Zeagle Ranger LTD back inflate BCD. I have been looking at some BP/W systems and like the XDeep ZEOS system from what I see. I do drysuit diving during colder months and alot of summer diving, all single tank rec dives. For those of you who have made the move to BP/W, from a Zeagle...

Hi guys, I saw my first pair of Scubapro Super Nova Seawing fins at my LDS recently. The manager has used them on several dives and raves about them. But his job is to sell me a pair of them. Lol. For any of you that have them, how do you like them on your dives? Thanks!

Hi guys, For those of you who have the Rolock drygloves installed on your drysuits, where did you get reliable info. on doing a correct installation? Was it from the Rolock videos? Or from others on Youtube who figured it out themselves? Since mine I ordered with my Seaskin Nova suit and I...

Hi guys, I have a new Seaskin Nova drysuit, I was prepping last night for a dive in the next few days. Seaskin had a recall on the Si-Tech inflation valve and connector last year, which I replaced with their recommended inflator valve and connector. I hooked up the original inflator hose that...

Hi, I'm thinking of going with the new Ratio ix3m2 dive computer for being able to see the display better in low vis water. Have any of you have used this new dive computer and what do you think of it so far? I have a Mares Quad Air now and want something I can see better underwater. A...

I have a Mares Quad Air and like the big numbers on it's display, but I'm thinking of going to a Teric for the colored display and bright illumination of it's display for some of my low viz lake diving I'll be doing at Lake Lanier north of Atlanta in deeper depths. Anyone use a Mares Quad Air...

Hi guys, I just got my new Seaskin Nova drysuit in. Great looking and fitting suit. French talc came with the suit. I used to use talc for my old Pinnacle EVO 2 suit, that had latex seals. I've been doing some research and found that talc can contain asbestos. I don't want to get anywhere...

Hi guys, I've decided to order a Nova Seaskin dry suit soon. I have all of my options decided on except the neck and wrist seals. I would like to go to silcone seals on the neck and have the option of using dry gloves on the wrists if I want to. I'll be diving in cold lake water and north Fla...

Hi guys, My Pinnacle EVO 2 suit is history as far as usability is concerned. Had it about 12+ years. Service tech said it wasn't worth saving. So, I'm in the market for another membrane drysuit and was thinking about either a Bare Tec Dry membrane suit or a DUI Coronado or DUI Yukon II...

Hi guys, My PInnacle EVO 2 has bit the dust, sadly and I'm in the market for a new drysuit later in the year. I always thought DUI was way more than I wanted to pay. But I saw the DUI Coronado for $1400 brand new. Looks like a good suit with DUI quality and comes with zip seals on neck and...
