    Mares SLS lock system - BAD and dangerous

    It happened even with the previous Mares MRS system. I think that the risk to loose a pocket is intrinsic in every system that requires you pull something to dutch weights. You can accidentally pull it, entagle somewhere and pull, or just the system can become loose with wear. Because dutching...

    Drawing patterns on wetsuit without staining or releasing chemicals

    While it sticks very well on clean neoprene (and all wet or dry suits I think), It tends to create a flexible plastic film that sooner or later will detach as a whole if used on rubber (like fins). Maybe scratching the surface instead of just degreasing it would provide much more grip... I've...

    How? GoPro tank mounted to see what’s following you.

    On the shoulder ? It can be oriented front or back without problems during the dive.

    Vyper service?

    AFAIK there's nor programmed service, neither other than changing o-ring with battery and possibly do a pressure test. If it turned off during a dive could be a battery issue or worse, asking for repair.

    Stupidly locked my case

    Go to some parachute training center and ask to someone to bring the case on the next launch to the max altitude, open it and leave it open. They will handle it open when they land - few minutes later - pay a beer to them :)... ... oops too late ;-)

    Drysuit YKK Proseal BDM zipper tiny leak - quick fix

    If you are in Gozo, go a try to Marsalforn - Atlantis Diving and ask for Brian (the owner), he has always something up his sleeve. He can have suitable adhesive and patches. In the worst case you can use Black Witch, if it does not adhere will cause no more harm. Good luck

    Deco bottles affecting trim

    I didn't mention I'm very tall, so the distance between the lowered d-ring and the hip d-ring (pushed back toward my bottom) is more than average, still keeping the bottles in semi horizontal position. This gave me some allowance moving both in order to gain trim.

    Deco bottles affecting trim

    I had the same problem the very first time I used 2 deco bottles. I tried lowering the double on my back - nothing. No weight at all to move some ballast toward my hips ... I solved the problem just lowering 3 or 4 cm the left d-ring and putting the hip d-ring closer to the backplate. In such...

    Maybe saying ".. with fever divers" could be harmless and wishful for having the boat not crowded ...

    Liveaboard with fewer old people?

    My son often remember me I was born in the last millennium (not century, millennium !!!) ... our most efficient communication way is through whatsapp, even if I still have some hard time in finding the right emoticon ... (glasses are not enough, maybe a guide dog ... as soon as I'll find one...

    Shearwater Perdix AI

    I succesfully managed to almost match my Perdix with a Suunto HeLO2 using GF 30/85 and setting the HeLO2 to P-2. In the normoxic range they agree with maximu a couple of minutes. I'm speaking of tec dives - never tried with multi-dive recreational liveaboard dives.

    XTX50 or 100

    I'm guessing it could probably depend on this.
