Yup, in agreement with ya.

NAUI gives an MSRP & At Cost listing in the Instructor portal for purchasing materials, so we instructors can compare for ourselves and set the price. They said last member update, there would be a cost break in the MSRP of OW/Nitrox combo when compared to taking the packets separately. It is...

Yes with no issues. Your info about having issues is unwarranted. 2nd stages having issues when mixed match only occur because of being matched with a 1st stage that they aren't tuned to. Any issues can always be fixed by a tech on the work bench. The usual concern would be mixing an Unbalanced...

To me it would make more sense to reconnect your inflator hose after takedown & reassembly and then connect your IP gauge to it. Doing it your way you're doing one more screw/unscrew without any increased benefit of accuracy. Would save you a hot minute IMO.

A lot of divers at my work use toric type contacts. Use the brand that stays most comfortable on you throughout the day. Diving won't change that other than occasional water splash and dry air in your mask on your eyes. I would recommend finding contact eyedrops that play well with you, as...

I use both the mini one shown on Leisure Pro and the bigger shown on DGX for work. Both are accurate and haven't quit on me. I prefer the mini one because it's lighter. I can move regs off the bench a few seconds faster. The big one is heavier and I tend to clink it a lot on the work bench when...

It'll fit onto the mask, if that's what you're asking. All modern regs use the standard mouthpiece sizing and so too does the Spectrum. You'll zip-tie it into place; the mask is just a giant mouthpiece. What other concerns are on your mind?

True FFM's like OTS Guardian/Stealth, Ocean Reef Neptune: they all pull air across the faceplate which acts like a car windshield defogger. The air then routes into the mouth pocket for the diver to breathe. The Spectrum does not do this, it pulls straight into the mouth pocket from a normal...

1) You won't notice any huge difference between a 4/3 & a 3/2 as a scuba diver. As a surfer you would in terms of overheating. That's why there's the variation. 2) For temps that you'll be utilizing a 3/2 or 4/3, practically speaking a surf suit will suit :caffine: you just fine. For me, temps...

Depends on your locale and definition of rocky shore entry. I recommend soft soles especially for rocky shores that are just big smooth rocks/boulders like Big Sir, CA. You'll be able to bend your foot around rocks better; whereas hardsoles don't let you grab the right angle all the time and you...

Aqualung & OMS are making current horsecollar BC's for military. SeaTec Sunfish (mfg & model) is also another popular horsecollar BC for military; see MaxBottomtime's picture above. For civilian purchase you'll be hard pressed to find them. Sometimes you'll find the SeaTec Sunfish on ebay in...

That last picture: a doubles wearing wetsuit diver, frog kicking with splitfins, stages clipped on the right and front of the crotch strap, and towing a scooter by hand. I see what you did there NetDoc :rofl3: I appreciate this; well worded and friendly.

Hollis uses 1in at both ends. I don't know what they're measuring; they're annoyingly vague. Before you go further, did you measure the Elbow diameter connecting to your BC? I think your elbow is probably 3/4in meaning you'll need both an elbow & a corrugated hose to attach your Air 2. Might as...

runsongas pretty much answered your question above. I'll add and say the adjustment in corrugated hose length is dependent on the diver. Wear your BC adjusted as you would UW and put the inflator in your mouth. Make sure you can look up still without ripping the infiltrator from your mouth...

Short answer is you should take a break form your scuba training, but it is not a definite give up yet. Your resources should be to consult an Ears-Nose-Throat/ENT doctor to diagnose your condition and see if there is any medication or if it is necessary. A runny nose can mean congested...

Dive C: Straddles an imaginary horse on the deck of the dive boat. Reaches far back between his crotch and pulls a beaver tail high up on his belly; velcros it in place. Brand new SeaTec Sunfish BC that smells of dreams and fresh listerine. Paired with a dingy plastic backpack that looks like it...

Are your using the adjustable spanner with the hinge or a set spanner? I would highly recommend the set spanner from Scuba Tools. The one you posted looks good but I'm wondering how many times turning that screw in and out will slop the tolerances and get back to your original problem several...

Leaving dead lionfish on the reef for scavengers or feeding them to predators is not ever going to help. What is does is teach the reef to rely on divers for their food source. You will end up getting toothy predators hunkering near divers waiting for their food. Some will get bold enough to...
