At DGX, they have Miflex brand as well as a generic braided flex hose. They both are tested to the same pressures, and I would imagine DGX wouldn't carry an inferior product given their customer base. Anybody have any experience with the generic ones? At half the price, they're definitely an...

what size is the wetsuit?

good stuff. Sounds like they have a quirky way of doing things, but at the end of they day, they made it right and made sure to give you exactly what you wanted. All's well that ends well. I'd give em another shot. Seems their service is good, and IMO good service is the best reason to frequent...

1st and 2nd? That's an unbelievable price. I wish I had the $

interesting. Thanks for clarifying. I had read previously that it was the 1st stage that failed up or downstream

as far as the mouthpiece, I'd suggest getting something like a seacure that you can mold and cut the backs down so that it fits their mouth

I thought it was the 1st stage that upon failure would continually send air to the 2nd if downstream or not send it at all if upstream. That's why it still breathes and purges when you're not breathing. The 2nd still works fine, but the 1st failed

I'm 99.9% sure they're downstream

while I know nothing about the shop you went to, I'm gonna guess that you dealt with salespeople, not experts. It's a common case in retail stores. Usually the cheapest labor is the ones you get to deal with

lawsuit aside, as I'm with you, I doubt it'll hold up especially if it's established as an LLC, BUT a death due to equipment failure would lead to poor publicity and a drop in business. Aside from the obvious, that I doubt any dive shop owner wouldn't lose sleep over somebody dying with the...

In my effort to turn the Atomic B1 I purchased off eBay into my ideal reg, I got my M1 color kit delivered today. I just happened to stumble across an "open box" yellow M1 color kit on Scuba.com for $18. It was like $26 after their regular shipping. I ordered it early Friday morning with regular...

that's what they had in the Bahamas when I went. Worked fantastically IMO though, almost evey MFR makes a good reg that can take some rookie abuse. Make a list of those, then get what's cheapest/easiest to service

the gun that can be used for almost any application and goes together like legos. As simple or as tactical as possible

that's an oxymoron IMO. I don't think it can get any simpler than a BP&W setup. You build it with everything you want and nothing you don't. As a gun guy, I would compare the BP&W to an AR15. There's 100 brands, most parts are interchangeable, they're incredibly simple to build/service, you can...

mine was never any issue to add/remove d-rings. It takes all of 2 minutes to remove a shoulder strap and reinstall it. It takes longer to remove/add a d-ring on a basic harness. If you just plan on not using the d-rings, you can take em off the straps before even installing it. I like the...

with the Transplate specifically, any of the D-rings, except the one on each shoulder attaching the shoulder strap to the quick-release strap, can be removed. As can the chest strap. The crotch strap can be added as well. So really the differences are the padded shoulder straps, the...

I don't think the pads are very wide at all. I've got fairly wide shoulders though, so that may be why I feel that way. As for the D rings on the shoulder straps... why not just remove the 2nd one if you don't want it? I guess I'll get a better idea when I dive it, but initial impressions is...

how is that? Forgive my ignorance, but it just goes against al my logic. The transplate fits me perfectly and has padding. I honestly don't see how a harness could be any more comfortable great post. Every bit of a basic harness could be reused as parts in the transplate. The main reason I went...

I JUST got the transplate w/ stainless BP. I haven't even gotten it in the water yet. But it's super adjustable and very comfortable even w/o a wetsuit. I plan on adding a crotch strap, though when tightened down, it's VERY snug and doesn't seem like it'd move around, for like another $10, it's...

thank you for the input. I do plan on practicing with it quite a bit before the maiden voyage. I hope I like the AIR2. It seems convenient/lightweight/streamlined as long as it works well enough ??? I don't follow. The impression I get by those statements is that they are negative. Why is...
