Never heard that one before. You don't dilute it at all?

I can't be certain, but it looks exactly like my Aeris Biojac (other than color and logos) which is owned by the same company. Aeris confirmed that their computers were the same other than cosmetic differences, so I would be surprised if the same is not also true of their BCDs. If that is the...

A 5mm hooded vest under a 7mm suit works great in NE waters down to the 40s. What water temp were you diving in?

I used to spray my knives and shears down with silicone in an aerosol can. It worked very well and even beaded the water right off after rinsing. If you're worried about rust, that may be the ticket.

What would happen if they fell out under water?

I've always wanted to see a hammerhead, but that type of sighting would not be ideal.

Besides, only DRIS sells the DRIS 1k light. :D

I just tried with 2" webbing - yes it does so you would need an elastic or inter tube or something to hold it in place.

The underside of the sheath has slots for adding rubber straps (I think it included these), but there there is a slit on the plastic piece so that you can lift it and fit something bigger like webbing. There's also two threaded posts that come with thumb screws so that you can attach to BC...

I let mine dry in their sheath with no oil (I used to spray them with silicone) and I've not had any issues with rust yet. I do rinse them with fresh water. As for the plastic clips, they are thick but also very secure. You can't pull out the knife without squeezing them unlike other knives...

Why does it need to be titanium? I have a Wenoka (aparently AquaLung now) Squeeze Lock in both titanium and stainless and neither rust even if neglected. They've got all of the features you mention except for plastic clips.

Thanks for the clarification. I've been caught once wishing I had a snorkel and it won't ever happen again. I'd rather suck my tank underwater than on a 100 yard+ surface swim, so I'm right there with you. That makes sense - a compressed trachea and bleed does not sound like much fun. I did...

I'm not a freediver, but I thought I read something that it was bad to look anywhere but straight ahead? I don't recall if it was due to increased blackouts or something else.

I read this to mean when the purge valve is underwater, but it does read pretty funny now that you mention it. I suppose that would be like purging a regulator before biting down on it. :D

I have a dry snorkel with purge valve and like it a lot. Doesn't flood completely and it's easy to clear above or underwater.

I, like so many, have never met Lynne but feel a terrible sadness with this news. I hope that you may find comfort is knowing that she has touched an endless amount of people that she has never even met. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I've only got about 130 dives under my belt (take that for what it's worth), but I agree with the above. Faced with the same situation, I believe you made the right call. Full blown panic in a tight, dark overhead without the necessary gear is not good. Whether you broke the dive plan or not and...

When mine falls apart I'm going to hack it up and glue it to the new wetsuit. I'd love to have a couple pockets to tuck a slate into or other such thing.

The other nice part about a LDS is being able to return (for a swap) defective items quickly. The first pair of kevlar gloves I bought resulted in stitching unraveling after the first dive. I brought them back and they gave me a new pair off the shelf. LeisurePro's prices are tempting, but their...

I'll second and third (I have the Shorty too) the DRIS 1k. I beat the snot out of it and it still goes strong. Most recently I changed my brakes and forgot to bring a mallet to tap the caliper off, but the DRIS 1k was handy so I used that. It's probably beyond overkill for warm water with high...
