if good hydrodynamics matter in fins (which admittedly is a questionable premise) the foil tip is a terrible place for a disruptive feature like that. It almost certainly reduces power and efficiency to provide some users with an unnecessary cosmetic convenience.

Another vote for yellow And I wish they would lose the hole in the blade.

The thieves on Bonaire aren't out to steal rental trucks and most people just tuck the keys somewhere mildly out of sight.

Hope all you CCR converts have been keeping up your valve drill flexibility! Maybe the BM version has it on the shoulder. Or uses FMCLs.

Cool patent. Something new and different! So the idea is that this thing combines the ADV, dil MAV, and BOV into one device? Really interesting.

Update - I took the gamble and ordered an expensive set of hard-to-find limited edition fins despite knowing nothing about the reputation of this shop. Figured at worst the credit card company would deal with it. Ironically enough my VPN was freaking out Halo's payment processor and the shop...

What's wrong with a spare air for this use case? Shallow water. Way better than nothing. Agree a bigger pony is better and allows him to inflate the suit too. But it sounds like maybe he has no access to air fills.

Drysuits can be dived to any depth from snorkeling at the surface to the very deepest dives. Drysuits require a low pressure inflation connection (just like a BCD) to squirt air in and compensate the pressure inside. Plenty of shops rent drysuits like the Silfra operation does and they're used...

This is awesome! Great job! Let us know how it dived, and maybe do a long-term update some time in the future. Curious to see how the TPU holds up over time.

Anyone want to sell or trade me their size L deep6 eddy fins?

Ever dive that mine in Rutland? Is it any good?

How comfortable/light do you find it? It's as comfortable as anything. Not really different from a smaller DSV. The real way to make the loop more comfortable is to add a seacure mouthpiece and weight/foam on the hoses as needed to make them float level and neutral. Gagstrap too. How easy is it...

I've purchased two used drysuits. One turned out to be completely falling apart, an undivable piece of junk that I lost hundreds of dollars on. The second was dirt cheap, amazing, and lasted for years completely trouble free. It's a crapshoot. Its easier if you have the experience to really...

Pro - they're far, far more powerful, efficient, or fast Con - they're awful to maneuver in, less precision and control, forget back kicking If you're diving in strong current, want to lazily cruise in open water, or need to cover a lot of distance with low air consumption they're a reasonable...

First of all, get a good visual inspection / make sure the inside of the tank is clean. It's possible though unlikely that some ugly galvanic stuff was happening that affected the inside as well. Try an aluminum cleaner/polish product first. Might need a reasonably aggressive one. Try a mild...

Are you talking about trip insurance or dive accident insurance and evacuation coordination?

My understanding is that hyperbaric treatment of DCS works by (re)compressing bubbles then allowing the dissolved gas to slowly come out of solution on controlled decompression. As I understand it, this should only be effective within hours-days after a DCS incident while acute bubbles exist...

At this point in LED/Battery technology, if you are doing dives that actually require a canister light at all, you really need one with a BIG canister made by a more reputable manufacturer like underwater light dude. lightmonkey, or nanight.

I have a pair, only used them a few times, felt like the double seal was too tight on my wrist. Like they were maybe starting to limit warm blood flow to my hands which is counterproductive. That could have been a personal problem or user error.
