    Wetsuit, How Cold?

    Normally I used to dive in a semi dry...if HQ let me, at 1c...it was chilly...the regs were Beuchat Icebergs.... It was a 7mm full with a 5mill shorty hood

    Need a first time reg ....

    Scubapros have to be the work horse of most divers stuck out on a limb, looking for tough ***** stuff with easy service possibilities. The 650 I would question, its trying to be a Poseidon and its not. The MK25, a first stage you will find hard to beat. U don't need to bother with the...

    Is there a CLIQUE ???

    I notice a few names cropping up here and there in the ratings and comments....which is always good for divers looking to buy their first rig. I harp on about Beuchat...I am not sorry that I do. I have tried every set up you care to quiz me on.. The Beuchat VX 10 is heavy duty...anything...

    300 bar tanks

    300 bar is as safe. if not safer with a DIN fitting, as 232 and I am quite sure that popping a lump of metal in your dome will feel much the same and be going in the same direction at 232 or 300. Personally, all my gear is DIN. Thr great thing is that you can use converters to A clamp but you...

    A few pics of a singles Hog rig for cold water

    What are the advantages of a HOG rig? I honestly don't know waht a true HOG rig is, as witnessed by my double bladder redundancy comment. I was used to dry suits and now in warm water, think a redundant bladder is nice on the deeper dives. Apparently the Hogarthian method doesn't like that...

    Gases

    Thanks all... This is a sort of new thing for me. I have dived deep on air but I don't necessarily want to go as deep as I have, in the past, but still do deco dives. Trimix etc will be the next step. I bumped into a like minded instructor that wants to go deco/accelerated deco here in...

    Suggestions for setting up hogarthian rig

    A few pics of a singles Hog rig for cold water

    Sorry, where are the d rings for your stages? Also, you might wish to consider: 1. SMB. 2. Reel for above. 3. Back up lights (optional but at depth its a toy to keep your mind off the rig). 4. Redundant inflator hose...if that HOG comes with double bladder??? Looks nice though...

    Apeks BPW

    Was this post about a rig or a reg?? Do Apeks do rigs? I have Apeks on my stages but replacing them soon. Supposedly cold water regs but free flow city. Not popular but the BEST BEST cold water reg is Beuchat Iceberg VX 10...its heavy but bullet proof. Breathe that on the...

    Din

    Deutchue International Norm (excuse spelling) DIN. The geographical argument is not really a discussion when it comes to safe practice, in my view. We had to dive steel H valves in Europe,,,all DIN. I am not going OHE with a yoke. So, for me, it is more of a diving safer issue? Joe PADI...

    1st time in a drysuit

    I don't seem to see what type of dry bag you have in your posts above. That makes a big difference. Also you need to think about your undersuit, which I am sure you have as you've bobbed around already. Advice about using the suit for buoyancy compensation, rather than your wing, is like...
