    Question Is the KISS Sidewinder the best to learn on on & keep for a lifetime?

    You got this all figured out already. Go out and buy first rebreather you see and just go diving. What's the worst that can happen? :banghead:

    Marine Life Shark attack at Egyptian Red Sea resort

    IIRC, when that Russian tourist was killed last year, a shark was killed after an organised hunt. Whether it was that exact shark, I do not know, but score was settled. Besides, there is a chance it stays in vicinity of where last meal was provided.

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    No, you just stretch to get suit in position and then you can purge.

    The Red Sea is calling - Join us on Hurghada Splash Boat

    We are still doing this? Okay, I'll bite. OP is drawing flak about safety of Red Sea LOB's (tbh, not really his fault, but it is what it is) and magically a new user show up and praises OP's op. And you want us to believe you? Again, nice try but no dice.

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    If you are asking about bleeding out from a cut-no. But did watch a few die as they bled out in situations where tourniquet would not have helped. And once more no, it wasn't me that started the attacks. I agree with you on all the equipment you mentioned above. I carry a lot of that, but not...

    Question Skipping 1st stage Maintenance?

    I don't know if it's just me, but seems you would be better off letting someone else servicing your regs. You managed to make 3 potentially costly mistakes already.

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    How many times you used it underwater? Why the f* are you all making this as "it's never to be used" statement? I've heard of more cases of diver dying due to heart attack while underwater than I have of bleeding out while underwater. By all means, carry one with you, but where do you draw a...

    Santi Enduro vs Elite Plus

    It's heavy and quite stiff. And it's not as fancy as Santi's other suits. I loved the loaner I was diving.

    Info Aqualung Financial Troubles

    One problem that I do see, however, is AL trying to squeeze every single penny out of Apeks and pricing them out of the market. Apeks wasn't the cheapest to begin with and, as far as I can tell, are going up in price more than market average.

    Info Aqualung Financial Troubles

    I'll say it again: I am not overly concerned. Kits are available from 3rd party vendors and when the time comes to replace my current regs there are plenty of options to chose from. Not to mention that there are good chances that Apeks will continue to operate under someone else.

    Suggestion What I Most Dislike About Scubaboard

    AFAIK, section for new divers has special rules for posting, but sometimes you just have to be blunt. But, at the end of the day, it's a public forum. You just need to learn to brush off stuff you don't like.

    Apeks XTX 50 as bailout regs on 60 metre dives?

    I have taken my XTX 50 down to 60 m on OC with no issues.

    Apeks 1st stage weights

    No, it won't. Your only solutions are moving tank bands up or using tail weight.

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    I would love to see tourniquet application in this case! https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/diver-bit-by-tiger-shark-in-maldives.652801/
