I'm curious if there are cave diving opportunities that can be reached by car from California?

After reading all the answers, I decided to keep taking everything I need with me. Thank you everyone for your replies.

Hello, I fly to Florida from California for cave diving 2-3 times a year. And traveling with my CCR and DPV is a nightmare. 2 50lbs checked bags and very heavy carry on and "computer" bags. It would be great if I could leave some of my stuff (dry suit, fins, reels, etc.) somewhere in cave...

Hello, Can anyone tell me the crotch patch size for DUI or any other drysuit? When I bought my suit 3 years ago I had no plans to dive with DPV and refused a crotch patch option. Now most of my dives are DPV dives and the fabric in crotch area is badly worn. I have cordura fabric to make a...

Hello @Dr Simon Mitchell, Thank you for your reply. I do 200'-270' CCR dives a few times a month and dive below 300' occasionally. I use 50/70GF and never had DCS symptoms so far. Would you recommend to use O-Dive to control the decompression quality? Thank you, Vitaly

I'm pretty much sure it's the harness. Replace it.

Hello, Does anyone know how DUI and other manufactures seal seams on trilaminate drysuits? Do they use aquaseal or other glue? How do they prepare the fabric? Sand, degrease, do something else? I am repairing my TLS350 and the bonding quality of my patches is not as good as the original seals.

I have 4 old Oceanic transmitters. All of them work fine with Shearwater. At least 2 of them are about 18 years old.

Where can I buy hoses to connect USUN booster with tanks?

How is it possible?

Do you ever dump and refill your bailout tanks?

Th new toy has arrived. It fits 7-14/4.0 and 12-40/2.8 perfectly. Thanks again everyone for the advice.

This is my way. 30" hose from BOV and 12" from the tank.

In real life you can use the long hose (7') in case you have to donate air to your buddy and keep your BOV connected as well. You still need QC6 to plug/unplug BOV easily from BO tank.

I have an opposite configuration. Male side on the BOV and female side on the cylinder.

Did you use BOV or DSV? Were you able to switch to OC reg? Just curious what to expect?

I'm not sure if you read the whole tread but I'm talking about using BOV + onboard tank for air dill dives only. 3l(23cft) tank even at 150' it's way more than a couple of breaths.

It's better address this to Hollis not to me. Anyway I still can't understand why BOV connected to onboard tank is more evil than DSV which is not connected to any tank. At least they both are in the same category. And I personally treat my BOV (plugged to off-board) as DSV.

For me it means it won't kill you if you start your initial training/practice this way. I don't but some people just don't dive deep. Also in TDI you need to get at least 50 hours before taking normoxic training. For me it took about a year. I don't need to inflate my wings on ascent. Only at...

It's default factory P2 + BOV configuration and it works OK for air dill and air depths. Hypoxic dive is a different story.
