    Shearwater Teric wish list

    @sharkguy05 I often use my teric to monitor my breathing rate. I look at my SAC rate just after decent and hitting my depth and after doing any activity such as grabbing a lobster which would cause my breathing rate to increase. I average an RMV of about .45 cf/min but I know if I'm keeping...

    Using a GoPro camera for diving, give me some new ideas

    The difference is in taking your time in the editing process. I wish I had the time and motivation to edit my GP videos properly. So much can be done to correct brightness, white balance, color, etc. as long as your basic exposure is good. Also, the image stabilization on the GP 8 make using...

    Is this BCD's buoyancy enough for me?

    That's 12kg of lift. (newtons units of force ... F=mg where g is the acceleration on earths surface due to gravity.... 9.8m/s/s and m is the mass in kgs) If you have 8kg of lead, that gives you 4 left. Your regulator is at least 1kg and add another 1kg for other gear. That's 2kg left for your...

    What are your thoughts on "Streamlined Regulator" configuration for primary donate

    Reason why I'm asking is that I recently drank the scubaboard kool aid and bought myself a bp/w set up. While searching the board trying to figure out what people are doing for octopus holders nowadays, I began to see some of the merit in going with primary donate; specifically because I'm...

    What are your thoughts on "Streamlined Regulator" configuration for primary donate

    Talking strictly recreational, warm water diving. Basically primary is on a 40" hose with a 90 degree elbow instead of 5 or 7 feet of hose. I imagine the first comment is going to be why not just use the 5 or 7 feet hose?

    Weightbelts, why does everyone hate them so much?

    I travel to dive and on many of the charter boats I use in Florida, the selection of weights, is well, lousy. Some boats just have a hodgepodge of weights with slots for a belt, weights with no slots, or sea pearl style bags of lead BBs. Also, ever gear up and forgot to put your weight belt on...

    Rigging Your DSMB- A New Take On An Old Problem

    If you accidentally sit on the smb when you are gearing up on the boat, it will cause the bolt snap to release. Then when you stand up to get ready to dive, you will have a mess. Been there done that. I rig mine like in the John Chatterton /smb thread posted a few days ago. Put a 1 inch...

    If you move the bolt snap to the left in those pictures, the lever will press on the spool opening the gate.

    zeagle stiletto

    I tried one a 2-3 years ago when I needed something lighter for travel. It seemed heavy at the time and had more lift than I needed for my warm water diving. I was about to order one when I saw promos for the aqualung outlaw which was about to come onto the market and it fit the bill at about...

    zeagle stiletto

    It's a bit heavy for a travel BCD. It was great 10 years ago, but there are better alternatives.
