can't agree more - for 50$ will take it. however the screen issue is real I had 2 of them failing with this crappy issue (which is 200% design issue!) if you don't want to spend 50$ every couple of years - it's been said before the good old uwatec 330m will survive a nuclear attack (mine is...

I have the SiTech quick neck on 3 suits - zero issues. gluing neck seals is great if you have a place that can do it - here in Israel this usually means ~2 weeks w/o diving :X I did notice the internal yellow ring almost popped up once - but I always carry that "pizza" tool to put it back in -...

just need to verify - are you using the Santi Smart gloves with Showa 720? can you share how did you mount them? (the manual assumes gloves with latex seals). Thank you, Matan.

AFAIK you should be fully aware of where your strengths and what requires improvement the day fundies ends (even if you pass) since your instructor gives you all the details you need. with that - your instructor should also be your best source for questions on this as he spent 4 days with you...

Hi. still relevant? have photos of it?

had both. I started with 10W HID - then sent to Halcyon to replace with EOS LED lighthead. EOS is by far better then 10W HID in Mediterranean diving (low vis green water ^^). I have the 10W HID light head with cord and bulb for sale. but for sure recommend LED. or buy a focus which is what I...

still available? Thanks, Matan.

All these questions (and so much more) are answered in that class (at least on mine). I strongly recommend taking it. Technical diving within the GUE system isn't for everyone - you need to commit (to yourself- that's probably the hardest thing) to be an active diver and do those dives at your...

the answer is pretty clear to all these questions if you took Tech 1. if it's not clear contact your instructor. if you're Tech 1 and asking yourself "am I doing enough T1 dives? am I well practiced and proficient in my T1 skills?" and the answers are "no" or "maybe" then go do more diving...

update: 1. replaced antares O-ring - gloves are dry. I stand corrected :) 2. still suspicious about durability - time will tell. Thank you, Matan.

so - took the Showa 720 to a dive: gloves are flexible, but: one of them leaked - not that durable and I suspect it slides of the ring (was really wayyyy to easy to insert into the glove rings). so, Showa 660 still the most durable (my last pair help 5 years no issues), but they smell...

do you regularly use one? my previous undies for these temps was Otter Polar-D. however, just like FE, Otter, Santi Summer - they don't do M2M and what can I say I'm "special" :) also honestly other brands simply don't match to Santi's attention to small details (IMHO). just need to know for...

So my old undersuit served with honor... time for a new one. below 18C I use BZ200 - amazing. above 25C - wetsuit/no suit. in between - best solution is Santi Summer, but.... they don't offer the 4 size changes/ MTM - so no size fits me. anyone uses the flex 190? I heard it's not really for...

sadly can't avoid it - seals (silicone/latex/neoprene) just don't work and I'm always wet up to my elbows after dives. at some point I got sick of it and moved to dry gloves - no issues since except my hands smell like death after every dive. it's that internal liner of the showa 660 that's...

I have a gravity zero (DUI copy) suit - Antares is actually quite good. only issue was not leaving enough "slack" on the glove when attaching to the plastic rings. once that's done I've had zero leaks (~5 years, about 100 dives a year). my issue is with the gloves themselves - they smell - I...

I use Si-Tech antares - zero leaks as longs as you leave enough glove so no tention on the rings. my Q was about the glove itself - AFAIK what sitech provides are basically Showas 660 or similar - i.e. have internal liner... Thanks, Matan.

trying out SB power: I'm using dry gloves all year round (wrist seals always leak). usually I use Showa 660 - but I found 2 problems over the years: 1. They stick - inner liner simply smells like death after 1-2 dives. 2. When winter strikes here - sizing is terrible when I need to use...

gotta love the metric system, sound much nicer to say we don't care if 5.7m or 6.3m. +1 for using Oxygen in ocean (Mediterranean sea), and you can start counting any gue tech2 diver out there. Matan.
