    Changing Apeks XTX 50 from yoke to DIN?

    Two XTX 200's just like they came that way from the first day. All factory parts. My yoke converter is also the factory part. Still stays close dimensionally. I will not ever buy another yoke reg, now that I've made this switch.

    Changing Apeks XTX 50 from yoke to DIN?

    I made the Switch on my XTX 200's to DIN. I should have done this from the beginning. I have a yoke converter for when I travel and rent tanks, but on my tanks DIN stays.

    New Diver with question ;)

    Easier to get a local dive buddy than to be on a trip and be the insta buddy that someone might be hesitant of. Your local dive shop should have local dive options. Go often and square aware your skills. The more you dive, the better you will get, the less this will be a concern.

    Suunto Vyper V's Zoop

    I own and dive a viper air w/ a zoop as a redundant spare. Both of them live in DSS boots bungied on my wrists. Vyper does not default back to air once set to nitrox like the zoop does, this is not a big deal but is a convenient piece. The back light feature is better than shining a...

    Who doesnt like Florida?

    Can't watch deliverance. I dive lake jocasse. The true south stops at the FL/ GA line. FL is something else entirely.

    Diving facial hair/mask fit

    I shave a little off the top of the stache... Latin lover style. Hair everywhere else poses no kind of issue at all. So, spaniard cut = divers stache.

    TNF Base Camp Duffel as a dive bag

    TNF base camp duffel bags are awesome as has been stated. I use the base camp duffel for my non dive gear on the trip. I have a wheeled pelican case for gear and an armor wheeled mesh duffle for on and off boat and am very satisfied with this arrangement.

    Lead weights?

    There have been far too many studies done proving that lead shot is jot really harmful to the environment for that myth to continue. Don't eat it or use it as a coffee filter and you will be fine.

    New light...

    Ok, as promised, I have my thoughts for my first day with this light. From the ramp at jocasse Saturday morning I spent a bunch of time enjoying a rather low traffic day at the lake. Vis was descent with the average particulate level in the water for this lake. I started off hanging a hard...

    New light...

    Well it's all charged up and packed up and headed to the lake in the am. I have played with the goodman handle a bit and found what I believe to be the best setting so far for me. I will keep y'all posted.

    New light...

    So, something followed me home today from my LDS. A Finn Sub short 1400 smart. Every review I can find is a good one so I decided to try this out. I am diving Saturday and will keep y'all posted on what I find. Have any of y'all tried one of these out yet?

    Lake Jocassee update

    Off the ramp and into the trees this morning, water was warmer than the air above until 110'. At 109' the water felt great. At 110' cold, real cold. Haven't downloaded info and didn't commit to memory exact numbers. Very few divers meant good clear diving for all in attendance, just odd that...

    BCD failure at 100 feet

    The positive part for me in this is how well you have taken the criticism and suggestions. Kudos. The measure of a man is not if he falls, it is in how he gets up...

    BCD failure at 100 feet

    I have debated dual bladder, it does in fact bring extra constant thought and work. I went to a lift bag instead as I mentioned before. However, dual bladder does in deed have a place.

    BCD failure at 100 feet

    I carry a lift bag w/ dump valve just for this event. I do take care of my kit, all of it, but realizing that its all life support gear I dive with redundant systems. I practice using my back up plans and also realize that my pony is side mounted not so I can give it away, but so that I can...

    New to diving, what mm is best for Florida dives.

    I learned early, I can always flood a suit that's too thick to cool down but it's impossible to add layers at depth. I get cold easily, so where most people wear a 5 I wear a 7. The only one that can answer this for you, is you. I also recommend gloves, boots, and head covering for open sea...
