    planning to get first SMB/spool setup - some advice please

    Well it would seem that billt4sf has similar needs lol. I agree with what the others have mention in terms of features. For general usage you don't need something huge a smb that's 6' tall and around 6" wide is good enough any larger and you'll have problems deploying it underwater with your...

    Rational for Elipse wing shape

    Thanks guys and I too would like to hear the official reason. Here's my take on things. I'll make a few assumptions first. 1. The center of balance of my body would be the belly button in a frog kick position. 2. My lungs hold 0.5L of air during normal breathing conditions. 3. My entire...

    Need A Couple Questions Answered.

    I'll add another 2 more cents... No dive gear will make you a better diver, my instructor could do cartwheels and remain almost motionless in almost any position and she was using a transpac I suspect she could use pretty much anything and do it just as well. I've also seen a diver with a...

    There is not such thing as "THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED, BUY IT!" if you find such a shop u better run as far away from it as possible. Seriously a lot of advice have been provided already by of all people Tobin and the rest of the guys. What is so difficult to comprehend? Some wings need an sta...

    Too big a wish list not enough money! Need Help!

    One thing I have learned is that this addiction is very expensive and can take up a lot of space if you go overboard... I know I'm a suffering diveahollic. I agree with Tigerman that expensive is not necessarily better. Avoid ebay or craigslist as u never know what you'll get. I would get a...

    dive rite h10 light mod

    It's not the voltage but the charge capacity that's the prob... think of an old hand phone that keeps dying on you, it's not the phone but the battery. You could test the remaining capacity of the batteries. Only 2 things I can think of, batt life, or torch circuity if any.

    Novice diver plunge for Backplate and Wing?

    Congrads on your purchase and good luck on your certification. The titan will serve u well for years and years and years, perhaps decades would be more apt lol. The transpac + voyager wing will serve you well for years and years too and is a great travel bcd, with some adjustments it can be...

    http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/general-scuba-equipment-discussions/437555-older-dive-rite-question.html I'm equally confused too but it's got nothing to do with the wings or plate but rather are you planning to dive or open a dive shop? I take it you haven't dove in the soft pac you bought...

    Question about lights

    Yeah it's high intensity something lol. HID is High Intensity Discharge. These are very powerful bulbs but also very fragile, also it tends to use a lot more energy then a led bulb. Dive light comparisons The links JamesK mentioned about the 2nd hand lights are really good as they are well...

    Rational for Elipse wing shape

    Hi, I have seen a lot of wings that are bigger at the bottom and not the top so I'm curious why the Halcyon eclipse wing is larger on the top. Thanks

    Tech help down to 3

    You don't need to do dive caves to get debris in the reg. A simple beach entry and fine sand can get lodged into the reg and cause a free-flow. It happened to me once and a buddy who pushed the purge while in the wash and a piece of sand got in between the lever preventing a re seat and caused...
