they didn't tell me. Just that they were broken. Took the wind right out of my sails. I hate the color red otherwise I would have just taken those. Oh well. I hope somebody here got one of the red pairs after I posted the link. The deal was great and they were just sitting, but sold pretty quick...

thank you guys for the input. Will go the 36-40" route (sidenote: though the seller told me it was an AL plate. It's SS. Forgot to add that earlier, though it's probably obvious just by looking at it

I apologize for the dumb question, but being my first setup, I've never had an opportunity to gut another one and have nothing to compare to... is that the little steel wire that's inside the hose that the little steel rod in the AIR2 goes through? If so, yes. as for the longer hose on the...

why is that? I figured the less stuff, the better? The AIR2 is supposedly a very nice unit. And considering it's the latest generation, I assume it'll have all the kinks and whatnot (not that they ever did, but you know what I mean

yup: Seac Sub GP 100 4x4 Open Heel Fins | eBay

:'( I fould a pair brand new for $90 shipped. Ordered em, and they were damaged, and clearance, so I was SOL..

thank you all for the comments and info. Obviously given the overwhelming majority saying it's too big of a wing, I'll definitely take your word for it. I have no doubt that I'll be adding other wings, plates, etc. to it in the future. That's why I went this route, how simple it is to change...

by the way, the inflator has already been replaced by my ScubaPro AIR2

I posted about ordering this before, so some may remember. Found this setup on eBay for $238 shipped. Seemed like a good deal for my first BP/W so I reluctantly pulled the trigger not knowing how well it would fit and what kind of shape it was really in. The seller didn't have the best pics of...

I wouldn't sweat the "copy" reputation. They have a good reputation. It's like back in the day when people said Lexus was a copy of Mercedes. Some design ideas may have came from it, but it was a quality car in it's own right. The Agir seems to have a good reputation. So I wouldn't sweat that...

oh I'll be back in the US in about 16 hours. Was just a vacation. But I couldn't help but to look at gear still

lol, really? How would the drysuit not get wrapped around it? I'm also curious as to how it would not burn out the motor. Does the air in the suit stay cool enough down there to allow it to ventilate in the suit?

I live by that

blunt tip is easier to use as a screwdriver, harder to accidentally cut, or more specifically, stab yourself or your gear with. That said, I only carry pointed. I got my first knife at 5, cut/stabbed myself probably hundreds of times as a kid, learning the hard way how to handle a knife, but by...

waterproofing a Makita or something similar is just flat-out not possible. Pneumatic was my initial thought as well. But I thought you'd need a compressor at the surface and run a hose down. Running it on a separate tank setup is brilliant if you've already got most of the equipment (like most...

I've learned that just doing some shopping around online while here in the Bahamas. Many of them don't even ship here due to agreements with shops. That kind of obstacle is something I've never seen

wait? For what? To get AOW? Why? I figure the more instruction I take from the jump, the better off I will be in the long run. As I learn correctly from the start and don't learn anything wrong causing me to have to re-learn it. I'm already glad from what I've learned. My first dive after OW I...

this was more of what I expected when I initially had the question. A ton of favorites, not a "best". I really appreciate all the responses. Dive-aholic, what model SEAC is it that you have? I found 3 open-heels on their site (the GP100 is a good looking fin, with a spring strap for under $100...

thank you for all of the replies. Just got back from the shark dive. That was an awesome experience. That's probably gonna sum up this vacation. Now it's on to planning the next one

thank you for that. That will make my decision much simpler. Being that I've only used rental gear, I don't have much real world experience to have come to that conclusion myself. In that case I will look for something fairly easy to travel with and that are fairly affordable.
