    Switching to BP/W

    The only thing that really matters is the wing. The branding on everything else is just a gimmick. If you like the Apeks wing then buy it. And save a few dollars by purchasing a cheaper plate and harness.

    DIY Dry Gloves

    I set it and forget it. But I'd safely say you could 20 or 30 times as long as you didn't tear them while seating the rings together. I do not lube any of my silicone rings. With the exception of summer time if I am sweating. Diluted baby shampoo is multi-purpose. You can also spray your mask...

    DIY Dry Gloves

    The black stuff is called neoprene seal cement. Made by mcnett. It is very effective. Really good bond. But not so easy to work with. Especially if it is your first time doing a repair like this. The aquaseal is a lot more forgiving.

    Does anyone use a Waterproof WPAD pocket?

    Mainly just pool sessions for OW. So two 6 hour pool sessions per weekend. Roughly 20 weekends. That's about 240 hours. Plus the few months I had it in 2018. I'd say 300 hours would be a fair estimate.

    Does anyone use a Waterproof WPAD pocket?

    I use one on my wetsuit. LOVE IT. Have never lost it. It has been attached to the suit for over a year. Holds a fair amount of stuff. It is a bit of a pain to get it all lined up when attaching it. It will never be a true drysuit pocket. But fulfills my needs when diving wet.

    Training - how many (average) hours ?

    We do 8 hours a month. (96 hours a year) But add in the time we spend on calls into that number and it grows exponentially.

    Has anyone tried these weight belt pouches?

    3 on each side is 6 total. At that price why not just buy another weight belt? Have a light one and a heavy one. Or use the rubber freediver belts from mako. They don't require the keepers. The rubber holds the weights in place well. Making adding or removing weight easy.

    Cutting Silicone Wrist Seals

    Very well actually. You are behind on the times. 2 years ago I glued silicone seals to a dui zip cuff. Did a whole write up of the method. If dui can glue the silicone to a zip ring why can't you...?

    Cutting Silicone Wrist Seals

    Or you could reuse the zip ring and glue your own seals to it. Very simple task.
