The real issue is Helium. Not living in the US basically says sometimes helium supply is limited - i.e. the price per liter is higher. I can only comment as someone who works at a dive shop (i.e. free O2, compresor, booster, air), and have access to local people with their own...

love my Xen, but I must say, there is no substitue on this earth to the Uwatec/Scubapro 330m guage. will never fail you :) Matan.

al80 should be 11.1L ... Matan.

nordic blue ones are just gloves with a straight seal - just buy the sitech ones and pull them over the QCS oval rings pop a glove out? didn't happen to me yet ... :confused:

water here is 15C at a really cold day, about 60F (?) now, don't need no big fluffy gloves, 3mm are awsome :) however, I tent to suffer from water ingress underneath my seals, which sucks after diving, especially a day with about 4 dives. so, got dry gloves, wear nothing underneath them (the...

why not just get a pocket without the zipper that makes it wider? when I did my wetsuit pockets for example, I just told the shop to add an "accordion" stich, so that the pocket wants to "naturally" stay flatter than without the switching (sorry for my grammar & maybe spelling, english isn't my...

when attached my MK25's to an intermediate pressure guage - showed me 10BARS (metric system here ^^). that's 147 PSI? caused the apeks XTX50 to free flow - so tuned them down. apeks first stages are 9.5BAR as standard from what I know. Matan.

must reply to this last SMB video - I've never seen a more complicated way of doing such a simple task.... :( as said before me - pull it tight, clip it, clip to a bungee in your pocket, go diving. done a "few" dives with a spool in my pocket - it never opened. Matan.

dude, its all just enough tension on the line. make sure u give it a nice pull before you clip it. and, as stated before - clip spool and line toghether :) saw this happening alot when people just don't clip it with enough tension, no "special magical" way of doing this. Matan.

if u have 2 S-600 - I see no problem with using one a primary and one as backup. if u needed to buy regs and were on a budget - would recommend getting a "cheaper" low performance second stage to minimize intial costs for diving in a "gue/dir" configuration. if u already have the damm regs -...

choose one that fits your face the best. sounds like a good idea to me. clear silicone will turn "yellowish" in time (years btw..), and masks seem to last for an entire diver's "dive life", so I would get a black skirt one now so that 10 years from now its still black :) regardless of the...

if both cost the same, than take the Petrel. I own a xen and really happy with it - no trouble, and after a while with it (dive with it every week past year and a half ++++) its awsome and I realize to anticipate charging for the battery. yet, a really expensive BT, that as said here, is a...

well, its time to add my thoughts to the database here: this thing is AWSOME!!!!! so did my first dive for the winter here with the quick-neck. once its on, I have not felt anything reminding me that I have a ring on my sholders. did some walking to the beach with single tank rig (BP & wing...

pink rules :) though I still thinks the coolest thing is a totally black suit, with white hoses and white jets fins (got the fins, now just need santi E-lite and white hoses lol) I guess my only true donation to this thread is that in all OOA scenarios my buddies had, they all took my primary...

than again, the switch won't leak, which I guess is what halcyon wanted more. I guess I just need to sell my light and buy this one, than I'll know everything I need about it :) Matan.

oh, that could have been nice btw, though didn't own a drysuit at the time :) Matan.

I've got a different question regarding this new light: since we all understand by now that this is a really good light, I would like to hear more about this new type of battery connection. while my canister can really take a beating (and he has!), this screw in battery sounds like something...

I did fundies with a wetsuit, nothing mentioned in my certification about that... can definately agree that if you are new to drysuit diving, don't jump into fundies class with it, take the time to get used to it. Matan.

got it installed on my suit, and found some turbo sole leaks. all fixed now, sadly will only dive the suit when the water here will get cold enough. should be a month of so, and I'll report my findings :) Matan.

I'm about to choose which system to go with, any new comments on the quick-neck? is it better than the neck-tite? Matan.
