LOL Feed the machine buddy :D Should have borrowed one instead I guess eh? They're kinda cool, but there's no way I'm spending the nonsense coin the want for it when I already know I'm never gonna use it. :)

Disregard your buddy then, he's wrong. Mind you, you don't want to be putting any in on the way up either. I doubt the squeeze is affecting the valve at all. It may possibly be tugging at the cath a bit if it's not poistioned nicely and you're doing a lot of moving and squirming around (we will...

He doesn't have any Soggy, which leads us back to page one of why I have little respect for hairy-chested hero's with 5000 dives and 35yrs service looking like a sack of crap with their hair-brained ideas of what's better......lol, of course each guy on the team if they're not solo this go-round...

Well I don't know the other factors in play here, but if I couldn't get under with all the air out of my wing and suit at the beginning of a dive I'd call myself underweighted.... What do you do to finally manage to get under then?

In typical Padi AKA 'wrong' fashion, I'll bet they were hung on the line @ 15ft. This is standard DIY (dumb-a*$$) gas planning, the kind that is typically taught in Padi Deep specialties....no doubt other rec deep diving classes of other agencies do this too, I do not know, but we know who the...

Ahhh, music to my ears.

This is probably one of the biggest peeves we have with the AOW course. It goes without much argument that a diver with 4-5 OW dives simply is not capable of safely doing a deep dive etc, which as far as Padi is concerned is by the book as far as standards go. Sure they suggest you do a few more...

Seeing how KY is probably plentiful and cheap in Kentucky...;) I'd use it liberally. My basic rule that I live by however is that if I have to KY anything, I'm probably doing something wrong..... :D Hope that helps, 'cause this thread is making my day :)

And we appreciate the info.....you will now be promptly hung by your country as a co-conspirator for disclosing such info to us infidels....... ;)

OK, I knew you wouldn't really wait an entire year to tell him ;) Good post, right to the heart of the matter here.

I believe the way you dive after this many years says it all actually.... So what's your point, I'm right and you don't like me? OK, I can live with that too. The problem with doing it wrong this long is you'll never take Soggy's advice anyway. Your entire post (#8) tells me I can take that...

Suggestions?? here we go. Get a grip on yourself. OK now I'll try and be a little more kind here..... The only way to do stuff like this without becoming the CF you've already got going is to be on a set of doubles first and foremost. I'll leave the volumes of other info you require to your...

Hot damn, that works..........Even though I have the updated Ike housing, I'm going to use it this way. That's even easier still. Learned two things in this forum this month. That's gotta be some kind of record. Obviously the answer came from (another) canadian :) lol

Peter: The wheel at the back (let's use your terminology here). Say again, how you would, for instance, set (if active) the f-stop..which normally requires one to rotate the dial......... On the Ike housing you just use the 90 degree rotating knob as shown in my two pics..how is it done with...

Uhoh!! lol

Thanks Kev. For you lazy-bones out there:

Incase you haven't seen the new 90 degree dial rotating thingy.

Actually nvert, I'm not sure why you haven't just had your existing housing updated to fix what it seems this canon housing has as the same problem. Doing my best with these pics, there's no means with which to rotate the dial. I don't know for sure since I don't own one, but it does seem that...

This whole 'old core' thign is hilarious..... where oh where is MHK...........oh yeah, I think he watched a few of the old core die stupidly and figured there might just be a better and safer way. The last I checked half of the core died alone diving deep air......... Just a thought here...
