    New to coldwater diving - help please!

    Go to a steel tank that stays negative unlike an AL80..... 26 lbs of lead seems high for someone with your height/weight profile..... Have some weigh you can carry and put on once you are closer to your dive point (such as ditchable weight pouches) that you or someone can carry out to for you...

    Losing regulator

    I make it a point to use both my secondaries on EVERY dive, I switch between them all the time just for fun..... This does a bunch of stuff.....keeps me in practice of taking the reg out of my mouth without holding my breath, I stay familiar with where all my gear is including re-stowing it...

    BP/W users - where do u put your smb?

    More detail......hope it helps...... I tried the 2 bungee loops but on my BP the holes were a bit far apart, so the SMB could pop out on giant stride entires so I prefer this method because it holds the SMB close to the center..... Plus for me easier to restow underwater as you can pull the...

    What reel to tow a dive flag?

    Squeeze handle works for me, we often search for old bottles so it is nice to let go and just have the reel hang there, I have also been know to attach my bottle bag to it as well...... M

    What reel to tow a dive flag?

    I use this...... Manta Senior (SR) Reel I bought it during the buy all the gear phase of being newly certified.....but it works great for a dive flag, you let it click down as descend, once down if you let go it stays locked at depth........plus it is easy to reel up as you ascend since...

    Are apollo bio fins really the best fins in the world?

    While a Scuba Magazine Review may not be the definitive fin test...it does compare a number of fins side by side under the same conditions with the same evaluators... But fins are very subjective - I had a set of Hollis F1s, sorta like a SP Lighting Jets with a better foot pocket, my drysuit...

    My proposed first set of gear. Any bad choices in here?

    I agree DIN is only if that is what you dive regularly - my cold water reg is DIN and I dive DIN LP95s locally...... My travel reg is yoke, since that is vast majority of rentals - the good old AL80...... I use a 5 ft Phantom on my travel reg, it is very comfortable.... Hoses for SCUBA - Dive...

    South Florida diver seeking winter wetsuit advice

    My proposed first set of gear. Any bad choices in here?

    Herman - I guess I can't find a good simple picture of the ET and the ET Deluxe has lots of extras... I have a plain hog harness on a AL BP with SS D-rings and buckle, with a STA with 2 cam bands, two SX Scuba weight pouches and an Oxy 18lb Razor weights in at 6 lbs. To get the ET to the same...
