    Question How to improve buoyancy and trim?

    I'd just add a variation: stop every now and then. You can offset bad buoyancy with swimming at an angle (bad trim). If 1st is right, 2nd will follow.

    Question Storing drysuit long term?

    I store mine folded in it's own bag with plastic zip open, but protective zip closed. Silicone seals are talc'd. Not sure if it's needed, but at least it helps with donning.

    Question Ordering Seaskin, please double check

    Agree with vioch. Unless you are doing a lot of DPV diving, there is not a lot of strees in crotch area. I wanted to go with back protection to avoid any possible damage from back plate, but decided to go with Cordura insert on plate itself. QCS and P-valve are great suggestions . One thing I...

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    I guess I did not elaborate enough. This thread went from having a tourniquet in the first place to applying it underwater. I find it hard to imagine what would warrant such an action. By all means have it topside, but all this have it at all times on you is over the top. You like sound of your...

    Do you carry a tourniquet when diving?

    What do I have on me that doesn't increase my profile in water and can be used in multiple applications? Jon line and my secondary hand held light comes to MY mind. Wrap line around limb and use light as a lever. Use rest of Jon line to secure light. Why do people tend to go for as specific as...

    Diving in Montenegro

    There are a lot of nice spots just outside of Boka Kotorska bay- Gorgonije, Poseidon's city, Wolf's bay, Arza point etc. There is a nice wreck on exit of Boka Kotorska, but for that one you have to go through Croatia, since it's within their teritorial water. I am not sure who is open this time...

    Want to Hire a Deep Sea Diver for Fish Collection

    Then you should be aware that it was hobbyists that developed most of the techniques and equipment to keep those species alive in a tank where they then can be studied by scientists. While OP might have been ignorant of risks and obstacles, there is no need to pile up on him for what seems to...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    OK, so you have seen it in person. How do you find it compared to Seaskin? Material, stitching? I am liking how they implemented keeping pockets flat.

    we're all friends here... let's talk p valves and sensitive bits...

    You really, really, REALLY want to trust me on this one. You don't want to see those.

    It looks like wrong setup to me. You need to pull skin all the way forward.

    Subsurface - gas switch and SAC Rate

    Yeah, but I usually start kitting up as we approach dive site. I really liked how Subsurface was able to create breadcrumb and reference it to start of dive.

    Subsurface - gas switch and SAC Rate

    Only thing I dislike about Subsurface is the now lost ability for your phone client to take GPS fix when diving from a boat.

    Info Aqualung Financial Troubles

    I'm not overly concerned with AL fate. There isn't any rocket science in Apeks regs and 3rd party kits are available. Even if my regs are to die, I'll just go to some other brand. Knowing what I know now, I won't even bother to go to their service course, just need to dig service manual from...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    You probably meant fresh water. You need more in salt water. Anyway, there isn't a prize for least amount of weight, you need how much you need. End of story.
