Hers has the sta, mine does not as Jonnythan mentioned. Yes I tried weighing it -- but the buggy digital scale gave different results each time. I know I can just buy a good scale but I wanted to see if anyone knew this. The thing is that the digital scale gave a difference of about 3...

Hello all, I have a question about the weight difference between the oxycheq 45lb wing system and the halcyon pioneer 36lb system. I know that the standard line is that the steel BP takes 6 lbs off of your back. Now, my fiancee bought the oxycheq system from covci. I bought the halcyon...

Can we call posts put up just for the numbers "Ricky Davis" posts? (for NBA fans)

Thanks for all the tips. I'll email Marc. I am still a new diver so I have plenty of time. If you like the dive sites in San Diego then maybe I'll catch you swimming backward using the reverse frog kick with your jetfins on your next trip down!

Hey Robert, That's great that you are coming down here for the DIR-F class. I hope you enjoy it. I would love to get in on a class like that and start improving my skills. The only problem is that my set-up is not DIR approved. I would have to buy new hoses and the wet notes, spool...

I don't have a huge head, but long dreadlocks I needed to fit into a hood so it's essentially the same problem. I had my wetsuit made with an attached hood with the stipe made of an ultra-stretch neoprene (like Henderson's hyperstretch). I had it made my jmj wetsuits, you can find them on the...

Great shows with witty dialogue... I am glad to see Natasha on the scubaboard! But who is going to be Boris?

I just got the vyper, thanks in part to some advice from this board (and people in this thread!). I didn't get it from Leisure Pro, but I got a good deal at an LDS. I was comparing it to the Oceanic Versa Pro (similar to the Aeris) and I find the three button interface easier to use to the...

Hello all, I decided on the Vyper. My fiancee has the versa pro so we'll be able to compare now. A factor in the decision was the fact that I was able to get the vyper from an lds for the same price as online. The versa pro was cheaper online, but since they have treated me well at the...

Thank you for the vyper votes. For me at this stage the features are equally useful. I don't have a good sense for any features down the road that if I bought the versa pro I would think "gee, I wish I had gotten the vyper instead." I suppose durability is also a concern. I have seen a few...

Hello Scubaboard friends, I know that all of this has been asked in one form or another, but I am trying to ask it in my own form so I can get some opinions for my needs. I am planning to buy a computer. I have been bitten by the scuba bug so I am sure my interest will only grow and grow...

I am not familiar with the details of the Mk14 but the Mk18 has two high pressure ports and a swivel -- is that the same as the Mk 14?

Of course it really just depends on your particular facial structure. I tried the x-vision for a little while. I loved the range of vision and light weight of it. Unfortuntately I could not stop it from leaking, though it passed the sniff and hold in place test in the dive shop. I ended...

You can also consider the mk18 (if you can find one). It is like the mk16, but a little better in my opinion. An extra hp port and a swivel. I know that not everyone likes the swivel though, but I have had no problems and I find it to be a nice feature... I would get the g250 over the...

Hi Mel, For the price of the Henderson you may be able to get a custom made wetsuit. I got mine from JMJ wetsuits. You could get the 6.5 mm full-suit with a 3mm or 5mm shortie to wear underneath (so you could also use it in warm water). I got a 6.5mm full suit with an attached hood 5mm...

http://www.xsscuba.com/weight_belts.php That is the website. Scroll down to look at the single weight pocket. It is just a very rudimentary velcro-closing pocket for holding weights. I put them one on each side of the harness as close back to the plate as possible. I also put one on each...

I was given a good suggestion by a couple of people. The XScuba (eXtreme Scuba) pockets work fine for me. They are something like $7.99 each. It is easy just to toss the weight out if you need to. It is not as easy as the ACB system seems to be, but the pockets are compact and have given me...

Hey scuba friends, I have jet fins with Halcyon spring straps. Part of the reason I bought them was the "indestructible," and "bullet proof" labels people use to describe them. Now, it seems that my spring strap is getting stetched out on one side. it no longer stays compressed while at...

I wear board shorts over the "bike short" type of trunks. Then when it is time to change into the wetsuit I lose the board shorts. Why not get him a pair of both? Form and function... Fox

The second bonehead move is wearing his mask around his forehead like that. He'll lose it before too long...
