In my never ending quest to confirm/improve on what I'v been taught in my tech courses, I have a question on deco & travel gases used on hypoxic dives. Travel gas; I'v seen some who use a separate travel gas no matter what else they have access too. Personally, I use my 1st deco gas as a...

In another forum a member made this statement, "according to Deco for Divers, a flaw in the VPM-B algorithm is that it tends to be overly conservative for NDL dives like this". I responded thus, "I think you're talking about the 1st version of VPM. The flaw, pressure gradient allowed, was fixed...

The Oz $ is doing well so I might take the opportunity to reconfigure my single tank drysuit rig. My present rig is about 20lb negative. SS BP, rig, tank, reg. I use a Mk 2 Whites cat suit, a Xerotherm vest & woollen sox. I also carry 15lb of lead on a belt. I use a T 26 wing. The suits a Fusion...

Hi guys, the velcro strips that hold the skin onto the core of my Fusion are falling off around the zip & right ankle. They're tearing off along the stitching. Any suggestions for repair that doesn't include re stitching. I was thinking of using some heat activated tape to glue the velcro...

I'v just had a set installed. The inner rings that hold the wrist seal onto the outer ring works extremely well. Short of some neat trick, or a whole lot of main force, I'd say they're there to stay. I need to remove one of the inner rings. If you use the system & have any suggestions on the...

Hi guy's, I'm in Australia, & trying to find a place locally to source the double sided heat activated dry adhesive tape used to replace the seals on my fusion. To date, every time I talk to a manufacturer of importer I get the 1000mt stare. Doe's anybody know the name of the manufacturer of...

I have no experience with a leash for stage bottles. I'd appreciate the benefit of your experience. How do you rig it? How do you move bottles to & from it? PS. I only have a short attention span, piccys & videos are good too. And yes, I am learning to dive on the intraweb.

Its time to replace the seals on my fusion. So I need a heat gun. Went into town the other day & had a look through a couple of hardware stores. They had several, but they seem to be for paint striping & I thought they seemed a bit extreme for the job. Before I get one, I thought I'd ask...

Well, I thought it was very rude, but today my seals disintegrated over the space of 2 dives. They were fine 3 weeks ago, they seemed fine this morning, but from the moment I jumped in a constant drip started & by the end of the dive it was a dribble. Second dive , dribble turned to stream &...

Quote cut from another thread. That's good to hear. So to organise a warranty replacement for mine would it be possible to deal directly with Whites. Not that I have any problems dealing with my not so local dive shop. It just seems so wasteful in time & resources to send them from the east...

Does anyone know the buoyancy of the separate units :- Mk.2 jacket Mk.2 & 3 jumpsuit.

So my Fusion arrived yesterday. Of course the weather collapsed today. 7 day forecast has wind at 25-40 knots, seas from 3-5mts & bucket loads of rain. So while I'm waiting to get it wet, a few questions. What's the best way to hang the suit for drying. Mostly I see DS hanging by their...
