It looks from the Dive Rite website that if you have a Transpac you can buy the "Nomad Kit" to create a Sidemount system. There is also the Nomad EXP, which is one complete system. Is there much difference in performance between simply upgrading the Transpac using the "Nomad Kit" and the Nomad...

Have you considered a Suunto Vytec?

Thanks for the responses guys, do you find much different in terms of comfort, both while diving and on land (eg walking to a dive site wearing gear)? Metal backplate looks uncomfortable, but of course looks can be deceiving....

Hi there, so I know I want to purchase a Dive Rite Travel EXP wing for single tank diving. At first I was considering getting a metal backplate (aluminium) with a basic harness. I am now however leaning more towards the Transpac. If I later decide to buy a bigger wing for use with doubles...

Hi there, looking for any info on diving in Uruguay, from anyone who has been there or knows anyone who has been there! Everything from water temp, marine life, dive site info, best time to dive etc etc etc.... Many thanks, I hope there is someone out there who has been!!!

I read Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson about 2 months ago and it was amazing. I read a lot, but despite being a diving instructor and spending nearly every day in the water, I had never really read a book like this one about diving before, its mainly been diving manuals up to this point. My...

Hi there, I am a diving instructor living in Sharm, I was wondering if anyone has ordered dive gear online (or anything else for that matter) and had it shipped from outside the country to Egypt? If so, did you have to pay import tax or anything like that? Many thanks!

Thanks guys for the info, thats great!

I think I'm leaning more towards a Tri-Lam, any suggestions in terms of those?

Not looking for something like the viking, i won't be going into any contaminated water or anything like that, the suit will be used in the ocean. I meant more like something that will really stand up to being used every day continuously and that is going to last a long time. sometimes the suit...

Hi, I'm looking for a drysuit that really stands up to wear and tear. Its maybe not going to be washed for 1 or 2 weeks at a time, and i'm going to be diving it a lot (like 6 days a week or more). I'm not very familar with different types of drysuits or even different available brands, so can...

I always teach my AOW students SMB deployment, I usually practice with them in shallow water on our house reef, before they get to try it out for real and call the boat during the drift dive. I leave selection of the Modules they want to the students, but an advanced course with me usually ends...

Hi there, I don't have much experience myself with SeaLife cameras, but I bought the DC800 for my girlfriend. I was wondering if there is any way to change from Photo to Video mode while underwater? On land you can switch by moving a slider at the top of the camera (either to take Photos...

Anyone own one of these? How is it? Could you give me a quick review please?

When I started diving I had terrible air consumption, mainly because my instructor over-weighted me and I was swimming way too fast. Fast forward to now, I became an instructor and my air consumption is great. I improved by experimenting and diving a lot, but in the end it comes down to being...

Thanks Kathleen, That reply was very helpful, I think its great that we can talk directly to someone from Dive Rite, I wasn't too keen on the Rec Exp anyway, because of the excess lift, just needed to be assured that the Travel Exp works with a metal backplate! Many thanks, keep up the...
