    Deciding on what to get for a (very good) reg.

    out of curiosity, what is it that draws you to the ST1? If you're going to be diving many times per week, wouldn't a higher O2 setup be more beneficial? In that regard, wouldn't the M1 be preferential to the ST1 of an Atomic line reg? Not to mention, it's cheaper too

    Custom masks that fit perfectly

    pretty much exactly my thoughts. I doubt it'll be all that affordable right off the bat. But with top quality glass, it would make one hell of a top of the line mask as it's entry into the market. I understand the tech wont be cheap right off the bat, and the prices will reflect that. But with...

    Mask Skirt Color

    there's an interesting thread posted about custom masks from facial recognition software. I personally think it's a fantastic idea. As for skirt color, I think black would be best, it keeps distorted colors and images from the corner of your vision that could otherwise be distracting. And since...

    Boots?

    thank you everybody for the replies. I will just focus on the task at hand first and get my wetsuit gear dialed in. When I come to the drysuit bridge, I will just cross it then. There seems to be more variables than I initially assumed. And that's why I asked. Thank you again

    Boots?

    I will definitely be getting 2 different kinds of boots. I didn't mean I wanted one pair for both wet and dry. I want 2 pairs that are similar outside dimensions so they fit the same fins. I would like to get one pair of top of the line fins. And as I look around and price them, they seem to go...

    Boots?

    If you've seen some of my other posts, you may be aware that I'm building my first set of scuba gear. I'm trying to build a really nice set that I can add to, but don't need to upgrade (the biggest thing I plan on buying a 2nd of soon is BCD. My first one will be a typical BCD. My 2nd will be a...

    Is the Shearwater Petrel too much?advice

    OP. Only you can answer that question. Whether "just" rec, or whatever, IMO, an accurate computer allows you to enjoy diving longer with less risk of adverse effects. It is one of, if not THE best received in that regard. So if I were in your shoes, and I could afford it, I would. It's one piece...

    Atomic B1 Upgrades

    thanks man. Regarding the color kit, I've seen that one before, but isn't that really just a generic one? The front cover is not M1 style with the holes on the sides, and the exhaust deflector isn't widened. It seems more like a B2/Z2 kit someone could put on an M1. As far as servicing, I'd much...

    One of the few REAL new technology advances in Fins.....

    I don't follow. Lamborghinis aren't stuck with the gas pinned. I would imagine a similar situation here. Just kick less?

    Custom masks that fit perfectly

    this is a way cool concept. I'll be keeping an eye on it. How do you plan to get a mold on people that aren't local?

    Atomic B1 Upgrades

    thank you. I wanted to make sure I was thinking of the same thing thanks for the detailed reply. Honestly, I would love to take your Z2 off your hands. I think I can be more certain that the members here take better care of their gear than random people on eBay (though the reg I got seems to be...

    Atomic B1 Upgrades

    lol, understandably I thought I covered that when I said "jet seat conversion". I thought that's what it was called, a jet seat piston? I dunno, that's what I meant though

    gear for a new diver?

    lol...WOW. As someone who spent MUCH of my youth in a wetsuit (not sxuba though, mostly surfing), I never even thought of that. I wore em UNDER my longjohns, or a wetsuit vest/shorts much more often underneath. I never even considered over the top. And that makes such perfect sense

    gear for a new diver?

    OP, I'm in the same boat as you. Just got into diving. Putting together all my own gear. I'm trying hard for value. I want to spend as little as possible. That said, spending more now, on certain parts is still cheaper in the bigger picture if you get quality gear that you use 20 years. My...

    Dive knives

    I just replied to a thread in the knife section regarding the UK Blue Tang Tis I just got. If you're patient, you can find em new on eBay in the $50 range. Which it s great price for a Ti knife. It's got great features is very sturdy, and is very comfortable (I don't know about rivet attachments...

    Undecided on which Knife

    I know I'm way late to this party. But I picked up a couple UK Blue Tang Titaniums and love the feel of them, they have a straight blade, serrations, and a line-cutting hook. I found em on eBay for @ $50 shipped. Couldn't really argue with that price for a titanium knife. One mfr sent me a...

    Homemade soft weights

    aren't normal soft weights also lead shot? What makes them better for the environment than homemade soft weights? I'm new to the sport and genuinely curious, not trying to be a smartass But if you're concerned for the environment and can afford it, you could use nickel-plated lead shot instead...
