Almost $1200 for a glorified backplate and wing? A few years when they upgrade the model or just decide t discontinue it altogether, you’ll be out of luck for parts.
I would not discount the advantages of the stainless steel plate. Warm water diving usually means you will be diving alu80’s. A SS plate weighs in at around 5 pounds, this will nicely offset the 4 lbs of positive buoyancy of the aluminum tank. This also places the weight in an ideal spot over...
Just get your doctor to write a note saying that you need to wear gloves due to a medical condition. If anyone asks just say that you have poor circulation and your hands get cold.
I would like to see the improvements Chris made with the Deep 6 series of regulators but I can't afford to buy new regulators every time he decides to change brands.
I've been diving HOG regs since Chris ran his first Black Friday sale, first stages were $75 I believe and seconds were $50. I have three singles sets, a set setup for doubles, two stage sets and a spare first and second that I've never needed. I've taken the service class and service them...
I've been using the original Si Tech quick gloves for around 15 years now and have never had a glove blow off. A few years ago I cut the seals out of both of my suits, my hands stay warmer and no seals to deal with. If I was doing some extreme tech dives with long deco times I would go back to...
This coming April we will be taking a family vacation staying on Anna Maria island. I would like to take two of my boys diving during this week and was wondering if anyone could recommend a dive operation within a 1.5 hour drive from the island? My boys are used to diving in cold New England...
I always get a kick out of the ripcord detractors, as most the complaints about the system are totally invalid. I think it would be safe to say that most of these detractors have never used the system while the others never seen it. As Jim said, “ It's not easy to add and remove increments...
And that’s the problem with unions! Even when they can’t get it done they block others from doing it “Not that the National Guard would have anyone trained to do this work anyway”. I believe unions have their place, I just think that they sometimes go to far trying to protect their workers.
I just found this thread and find it fascinating but at the same time scary. I have seen this coming for years. Everything made now is designed to be disposable. I have spoken to many engineers that design the crap we now have to purchase and they all say the same thing, it’s game that all...
