I hope you can make it, buddy! abnfrog spoke very highly of you.

The "no stop phase" refers to how much time you have remaining until you will have to do a decompression stop. Are you using the microbubble suppression levels? The Aladin One may not have that option. If you have a microbubble stop at, say, 10 feet, the safety stop timer will not activate...

Great. I just ordered a suit with this valve. :( Should I contact the manufacturer and have them install a Light Monkey instead?

Excellent! My goal is to dive the Galápagos in 2020 or 2021.

I just pulled the trigger on a Nova myself last week, so I was pretty nervous to open this thread, fearing what the comments might say. But, now I am more reassured than ever that I made the right choice! I also went all-out with options and extra seals, and got a lot of the same options you...

Edit: My bad. I misread.

I'm glad you got it all worked out, man! Happy diving!

I hope to! I am excited to try it! I will be contacting you about this soon! I would be interested in the basic course because I have no prior ice diving experience.

Awesome! I bet you are excited! I also pulled the trigger on my first dry suit this week. Here is what mine looks like: Nova Membrane Dry Suit Main Body Dry Zip Cover YKK Plastic Dry Zip Fitted SiTech Trigon Pee Valve Quick Neck system with Silflex seal Attached Hood (vented) Kubi Fitted Dry...

Heck yeah, man! I just ordered my first drysuit yesterday, as well. I also ordered a Seaskin trilaminate. I am excited about diving into some crazy cold water!

I guess I don't understand why a wing that large would be necessary for wetsuit diving with a single aluminum 80.

Well, damn it! I just ordered one of these last month! Can you recommend a particular hose? I am really striking out here. I bought one of those last month to convert to a long hose setup. But then just last week I went and bought some nylon hoses based on recommendations by others. So, now I...

I dove from Mike Ball's Spoilsport back in 2006 and everything was great! Cairns Liveaboard Scuba Diving - Great Barrier Reef, Osprey Reef, Coral Sea.

Hi! I am juist up the road from you, in Cincinnati! I would say you're already on the right track to get more involved by reaching out to online diving communitues, such as this. There also may be local dive groups around your area. You might be able to get in touch with them through local...

Sold! Sounds good!

Yay! Thanks, Eric! I edited my original post to say that if there is a way to add a couple extra pounds to it, that would be great! If not, that is perfectly fine, as well!

No kidding! I'm not sure if I will make it on the list!

Small stainless! If there is a way to add a couple extra pounds, to it, that would be great! We haven't spoken before. Thanks, and YAY!

The wing, backplate and harness are all still available! $300!

Thanks for your input! I should have mentioned that my curent and only first stage is a Mk25 from 2006. I don't think it is sealed. They do not have a good reputation for very cold water. However, others have said that they haven't had problems, so if you think it might be okay then maybe it is...
