I hear the tg-6 is a pretty good step up from the tg-5 for underwater shooting. Why not go with that. Going mirrorless might be a big upgrade in expense and frustration.

If I remember correctly, the two main pieces of advice are: Set up the shoulder straps so you can touch the top of your plate with your fingertips over your shoulder and/or fit your fist between your chest and the shoulder strap. This will get you in the ballpark and you can make fine...

Although there are some substantial differences between Conshelf firsts, the only easy way to tell the model is the decal on the knob. Unfortunately these knobs are freely interchangeable and there is no certainty that the knob is original. One of my favorite things about the Conshelf's is that...

Most IP specs are pretty liberal, for example the spec for a Mk5 is 125-145. If my gauge is off by a few psi one way or the other, I just don't worry about it. In fact, the common 1.5" 300psi full scale IP gauge that many people use only has tick marks every 10 psi making precision readings...

A bigger (smaller) choke point, I think, is air squeezing through the second stage orifice - seat interface.

I've been working on my assorted regulators for about 5 years. I use common household chemicals and cleaners and an assortment of miniature brushes. . I use standard household tools with the exception of some o-ring picks and a bullet for piston first stages. A good vise is important. I have...

I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that. :) I’m sure that whatever Shearwater does it will not be the cluster * that followed the Teric.

After having my card data skimmed and finding unauthorized withdrawals from Cozumel I do not use ATMs accessible at street level without controlled security.

Don't ask. Don't tell.

I think it's been established that the 1/2" ports were more for marketing than practical benefit. Most people now just buy a 1/2 > 3/8 adaptor to use with a standard LP hose.

The D350 looks to be in very nice shape. Save $1200. over a TFX second for 99% the performance!

The ATMs at the Mega are secure and a walk around the store is always fun.

The f2 was a pretty direct copy of the APS Mantaray fin. It was reported to be stiffer than the APS. Perhaps the older design had trouble with the added stress of a more rigid material.

In a pinch I reform the star rings and reuse them.

I think it comes down to giving a little support to companies we approve of. Maybe it helps you identify with people who share a common interest.

At these prices it seems Atomic will exhaust their potential customer base quickly. Will Atomic hold out and sell a couple of hundred units a year or switch marketing tactics and go for a larger audience? Will they continue to try to lure the "connoisseur" or lower the cost to attract guys like...

The word ludicrous pops to mind.

If you are saying (it's hard to tell what you are saying) that the Perdix is only giving you 6-8 dives on a battery, no matter how you have it set up, there's something broken. I will get at least 60 dives + a year standby on my Perdix before I start to think about the battery. I'd send your...

Free diving fins seem like a high gear, high speed kind of thing. For big current/load I'd think a stiffer fin like jet fins for low speed torque. Am I getting carried away with my automotive analogies?
