I carry one on all open water dives, it's small and out of the way and I can use it as a back up for buoyancy should the need arise. If your BC fails while you are diving wet you can just wrap it around your body as an alternative.

The Olympus deal is the one I included in my link, it's the only thing I can think of that would come close to that budget. Just hear in mind the depth rating is only 150ft (not 100% certain but it's definitely around the max rec limit.

To be perfectly honest with you I'm not sure your budget will get you much improvement. Looking on the used market you might find something, wetpixel is a good place to look but a housing for a decent camera (micro 4/3rds or dslr) is likely to be $1k-3k. This would be a great deal in...

Yeah, because there aren't plenty of threads on every diving forum detailing their legendary poor customer service. For what it's worth I'm sorry you had a poor experience with them, as for your complaints about nattering, it's about as useful as asking about a company's track record AFTER...

You can't say you weren't warned.

Still available.

Steve Lewis is an excellent instructor who I think often runs courses there.

If that is a concern then there is no issue with having a longer bungee so that it can wrap back against around the knob, just whichever method you chose you have to get the bungee length right so that it stays tight and snug.

No problem, best of luck.

I don't have any pics of that, but on mine it goes around the neck and around the protrusion and hooks on, it does not wrap around back on to the tank knob. The bottom bolt snap is offset from from the top protrusion by 2 inches (most people line it up directly) to counteract the tanks tendency...

I found it was just as secure, regardless of whether or not you use L/R valves as I've used it on both and there is no problem pushing the tanks ahead of and keeping the bungee on the valves, but as mentioned before the key to this is getting the bungee length right.

Mine are set on the sliding method, pic below. The tanks do not move at all! But the key to this is ensuring the bungee is very tight. I have to use a fair but of force to get the bungee over the valve, it barely makes it over but does and then the tanks are rock solid and snug with zero...

I'll check mine when I get home tonight and let you know.

The bungees to secure the valves should look like this:

On the stealth the wing is not attached to the harness at all. You bungee it around your body and position it wherever you like, you can adjust at any point as necessary.

I've done 3 cave dives in a day, it's doable but I've got to be honest, I was feeling wiped on the 3rd dive my skills weren't as sharp, i wouldn't do it again, just not worth the risk where a lapse in concentration can have serious consequences. For someone who is a stronger and better diver 3...

Bump...

You can but you have to use an opv on the 1st stage.

I wouldn't buy any of their products, worst customer service and support of anyone in the industry.

I always thought it was just a rebadged VRx and didn't really hear very positive things about it. The stats looked good on paper but when I took a closer look it didn't seem that easy to use.
