Beautifully done. Nat Geo worthy.

Appears to be a Euro brand (Agir)? I’d not buy a new wing in this configuration but price was good. Since consensus seems to be it’s not optimal.. I’ll pass. Thanks all.

My current BCD is for warm water travel, 24#. Playing around with the optimal buoyancy calculator it appears that >35 # is best. The LDS recommends one that is 36# IIRC, but new is pricey. I’m more curious about this particular wing design, if it will work ok for single tank aluminium with...

I’m looking at used gear to get into cold water/dry suit diving and so will need a BCD or BP/W with more lift. I’m likely buying used as it’s quite an expense (suit/BCD/cold water regs etc). Would a 38 lb horseshoe wing work for singles? It’s on a steel plate and harness and priced way less...

Very nice. It has me fired up for my trip to Coz this winter.

Just came back from GC two weeks ago. We dived all of the sites mentioned. I found Cobalt coast to be “more fishy” than the others. Maybe because it is not dived much? Saw big schools of durgeon and blue chromis. Dive Tech rents DPV’s there which is great fun. It is true at Eden rock you...

Resurrecting this thread if anyone has experience? Also is the wetsuit difficult to don and doff whilst using Exowear?

I use stick on readers. They use a stick on “gasket” around the periphery of the lens. Seven years they have not budged. The brand is Attach-A-Lens.

Your experience is unusual. I have a Perdix, standard conservatism and I used a Suunto backup set to P0 (similar model to Mares). On dive 1 I’d find NDL very close between the two computers but usually higher on fhe Perdix, dive 2 the Suunto would show less NDL, sometimes quite a bit but not...

If you want to DIVE stingray city, I’d reach out to Brad Nelson at Cayman University divers. He has a smaller boat and small groups. Maximum 6 I think. The most divers I’ve been with is 3 total, but this was May and Sept/Oct trips. He’ll show you how to feed them, stay awhile then let you...

Ambassador divers afternoon Stingray city and coral head snorkel tour. Small boat, small group. I’ve done it several times with non divers. i recommend them.

I’ll be happy if I get to see a splendid toadfish.

On my list to try it there.. hard to do with non diving spouse.

Funny thing is I usually make Eden Rock the last quick shore dive before going to the condo to dry out gear and pack. This trip I saw the only nurse shark there. Last year a nursie and a feeding eagle ray 15 yards away. Previous years an octo in 6 ft of water kn daylight and squadrons of...

Before I hang up the fins I need to have my mind blown at least once. I guess I need to save and plan a western Pacific trip.

I’m heading to Coz this winter for the first time. I hope it is better than GC. Just spent two weeks there. We saw only one sleeping nurse shark, three turtles, one distant eagle ray, one distant reef shark, no squid. Quite a few stingrays but mostly at Ray’s bedroom site. The best dives...

I do inspect it, that’s how I found it. Never had a tank slip.

I leave that up to the valets 😀. I worry more about them using one strap instead of two… which has happened a few times.

A lot of youse have a helluva lot more dives than me and you may not have had a tank strap come loose. I dive pretty much exclusively warm water DM led dives and I’ve seen single tank bands loosen (and tank hanging) twice and once on a drysuit course on one of the students. For me, I’ll use two.

That is worse than anything I saw on GCM. 😕
