I'm sure your correct on the Apex kits, but if you call him he may have them in the store. We have the Salvo rebuild kits (SR1/SR2) if you are looking for them. They are not online, but you can email us if that's what you are looking for.

PM sent on plate sizing

Had the same issue with my wife's Pioneer and DiveRite AL BP. Same solution too. Mahjong, what wing are you trying to fit? I carry Salvo BPlates. I'll messure the spacing in the morning if you are interested.

I've dove with Ocean Divers and Conch Republic Divers. Both shops were well run an nice, but I prefered the Ocean Diver's boat. Ocean Divers boats boats has open roomy decks which is nice if the boats have a large group. The trip from Ocean Divers dock to the wrecks was much closer as well...

Set a budget for yourself then look at your options. Are you planning on purchasing everything at once? Oxycheq, DiveRite, Halcyon are probably the most popular wing brands. Salvo, Sartek, DiveRite, Halcyon have a majority of the HID market. There are other choices as well. Like I said...

Tusa RS230 Reg

You can glue pretty much any pocket to your wetsuit. I have a "G-Pocket" on one suit, and I cut the straps off a DiveRite Thigh Pouch and glued that to the other. Its a great addition to your suit and you'll find lots of uses for it. We have G-Pockets in stock. It can be attached with...

Not too long ago, during our safety stop and while blowing underwater rings, the crew of our charter flipped the switch to dump the toilet directly into the water. Floating near the bottom of the boat with your reg out of your mouth is not the best time to spot TP and other objects floating...

I can only speak for the Carter Personal Floats, which are an open bottom SBM, they are very easy to inflate at the surface because the opening is self sealing. No air will escape once you inflate it. To dump air, there is a dump valve, just like on your BCD. If you are on the surface, most...

Have you had a chance to try the Transpac or a standard backplate? Personally, I love diving with a backplate/wing. It suits the diving I do. I have quite a few buddies who use a Transpac as well. Before you go spending your money, you might want to try and arrange to borrow someone's so...

How many times have you been asked to leave your SMB with other divers? Seems like a strange request from a boat DM. I've never witnessed such a request, but mabye it's unique to the particual boat/dm that you dive with.

If its a large hole, ask you local dive shop for a piece of scrap neoprene or purchase something cheap, like a beer cozy, to chop up. Get some neoprene cement (Block Surf and Trident) and glue the patch in place. Put the patch on the inside of your suit and it will be less visable. No need to...

I just use a regular yellow paint pen. Worked for me.

Like others said, take note of your depth when you drop down. From there, I generally try to keep the navigation simple. Using my compass, I make note of the time I travel in a particular direction, and factor in things like time spend stoping to look at objects. If I change direction, I make...

I carry a Carter 35# Personal Float, whistle attached to my inflator, and knife. Other than that, I usually have 2 backup lights and my primary HID. Equipment aside, I thing people over look their basic water skills. Becoming a better swimmer is one thing that a diver can do and it will...

I haven't heard anything bad about the wings. We will be carrying the 36# Agir in a couple weeks. The plan is to offer kits with the option of the #30 Oxycheq or the Agir wing. I'm confident it is well built and performs like other comparable wings. I've always been partial to Oxycheq, all...

To be a safer diver and to have the option of doing dives that are beyond the limits of recreational diving Provides more options to extend my diving experience. If there is a wreck/cave I want to see, I can dive it with the confidence that I have the proper training. The only thing that...

I agree with Tobin and the others, take your rig apart for air travel. I usually leave mine together when I'm home because I use it every couple days and it lies flat. During air travel, it all gets packed in my Storm Case. My wetsuit usually covers all the gear and the wing goes on top of...

Many of the popular regs come "nitrox ready" off the shelf. If the reg is nitrox ready, it usually will be stated in the list of features. You have a variety of choices including, DiveRite, Salvo, Apex and so on. Personall, I use a reg with a balanced first stage diaphragm vs. a piston.
