No. Not unless I have a great buddy with alt air. I mean, I could, everyone could. But it's not how I dive, not how I gas plan, so FOR ME it'd be a pretty foolish thing to do. Ask me again in ten years.

Looking for a nice diver with a little side of devil gas. Not ready to talk liveaboards, but am always pumped to take a 130' plunge.

Where's the demonstration of how to properly flip double 120's over one's head? :D I get it, but I think I stick to having a keen eye for the nearest bench-like object.

I don't know about that exact one, but Piranha has a knurled version. Weight Keeper w/ Sliding Lock Bar , Piranha Dive Shop |

I want lp's for whip fills. I was shocked to get a reply so quickly (or at all) - until I read it, lol. Hmm, I don't suppose your guy in Toledo has any more? :whisper: Pst100's I have seen quite a few of used. Used modern hp100's, yeah, never seen one in person.

I won't address what has already been well-covered, but I am also very leg-heavy and (after trying multiple options) I use hard weights tied with bungee cord. It is very secure, can be adjusted slightly, and I can cut one or both free with a flick of my dive knife if need be (although that is...

Looking for used pair of lp85's, willing to drive several hours, please pm me if you are selling yours and not on the other side of the country.

Oh boy, the things you never have enough of... Dives are normally 2 dives for charters or day trips, so always go with pairs (as far as I am concerned). 2x lp112 (anything deep) 2x al80 (training, shore, anything 60' or less) 1x al40 (pony)

Jim, I don't think OP could use that one without a bit of modification. He basically just has a palm to work with to hold it... actually, it would probably work if a bar or plate was added below the main handle so OP could jam his hand in place. The handle already has a spring plate mounted. It...

Good thread, good to see how others are doing it.

@boulderjohn I may just be a simple Great Lakes denizen, but I am pretty sure that is called "shark diving."

Well, such behavior is indeed contemptible but it is a matter primarily for the Ontario diving community to address. If you are a citizen and prepared to embrace this battle against fools, good luck.

@MAKO Spearguns I only know what you tell me. I wear a 2xl shirt normally on a 290lb frame, but seeing 240lb as the top number didn't exactly fill me with confidence. If there were chest and waist numbers that came close to mine I would have ordered your rashguards instead of the Cressi because...

Cressi, very modest sale from leisurepro of about $10 off for buying everything together, and I mostly went with it because I am a big guy and slim-fitting rashguards like Mako's are not going to fit me.

I took the good advice from this thread and bought a long sleeved spearfishing camo rash guard and leggings with matching gloves I found on sale. On my trip it proved an ideal solution, fully protecting me from jellyfish and fire coral bits while keeping me cool and unburned both above and below...

Okay for everything. Are you okay? Okay. Did you see the catfish? Okay. I'm out of air? Okay. Some diver makes a sign you've never seen before? Okay. Besides, it was probably a techie. My favorite sign is the shrug. Shoulders up, elbows bent and hands fully extended. It means "we've dived what...

@Texasguy Everything is better when the line is in front. But in my testing, I found that hitting a line out of sight invariably resulted in a diagonal contact between the knife and the line, and typically ended with a bounce off the knife and the line uncut. My (large) double-sided line cutter...

@Bob DBF I got a line cutter to try out because I thought it looked cool. Then I practiced line cutting with it vs a knife and ordered some more. For one-handed cutting a line you may not even be able to see... yeah, totally agree with you.

There is a surprising amount of debate over ponies. I use a normal primary donate with a first and two seconds, and I add an al40 pony below 60ft. I understand the reasoning behind eliminating the octo when diving with a pony, but I prefer my setup all factors considered. My approach is fairly...

It's called a stage when it is part of your gas plan.
