My DiveRite STA (Plastic) is 3 1/2 x 15 inches long and is 3/16 inch thick. I know that DiveRite is now cutting slots in their plates for the webbing and eliminating the STA altogether. I think aluminum would like nice. If you have someplace that sells aluminum stock you could toss a tank in...

The bellows on our Signature TLS-350 is about 2 1/2 inch deep, 12 1/2 inches long, and 7 1/2 inches wide. The pocket is curved so those are at its widest measurements. The other pocket on this suit is a knife pocket. It measures 5 1/2 wide, and 12 inches long. This one is basically flat made...

We purchased two of the Besea W50's. One for me and one for my buddy (my wife). The water temp is a balmy 50 degrees now which is still cold water diving. After calculating our new weight requirements I was carrying 26lbs on my waist, 4lbs on the neck of the tank (ankle weights), and I wore 4...

I just couldn't help myself and went ahead and bought the new besea. I went ahead and got the 50 as I will for sure use it when we vacation. I'm concerned about trim and weight as I am used to the BP&W. I see on their website that they have a plate listed as an accessory but I am conserned on...

I agree with Babyduck especially on this. I dive a back inflate (BP/W) and found that I just add enough air to float. If I must float around on the surface then I just lay back with my fin tips just poking up...like a skier. Like most have mentioned if you can try several BC's and pick...

My LDS just got in one of the new Poseidon BC's. It is supernice looking and you can just see the quality. They have one hooked to a tank so, I tried it on. It felt like a nice backpack. I don't know how it will dive and effect trim. But, I know the long walk to the beach would be better...

We've bought two off of the closeouts and our LDS gave us a discount of that price. We are happy with both suits...they were for our kids and were in new condition. We also had one custom made 'signature' and that one fits perfect. I would like to order one for myself as I have an older...

I have my snap secured with an o-ring on the rubber sleeve at the 2nd stage. I snap it off so it doesn't drag the ground on the long walk back to the van. I'm just a recreational diver that switched to the long hose for ease of sharing air. DrDuktayp

We have a van set up for diving and we just leave the key in the van somewhere, unlocked-gasp. But we don't have much car theft here. We do shut the doors to the van when we go under :) DrDuktayp

Nice. The new Matrix masks are pretty sweet. I am so far thinking doubles manifold or argon set up ...brrr it's cold out. DrDuktayp

So, what are you wishing for? A scooter? Argon bottle? Flippers? what? DrDuktayp

Thanks for all of the help. I'll move it to the belt next dive and see how it goes. DrDuktayp

I recently got my HID and instead of moving everything around on my belt to make a spot for the canister I hung the cannister upside down off my plate on the left side. I didn't notice it was there and I could easily use the switch even with my heavy gloves on. My thinking was that the...

Was that a neoprene beanie? DrDuktayp

My dive sticker on my Pickup says "He who Dives with the most toys wins" My wifes jeep has "She who Dives with the most toys wins" DrDuktayp

I have been getting mine from the LDS. However, I know that I could get it for a better price from http://www.questoutfitters.com/ . I've done business with them and really liked their prompt service. This is a good source for outdoor materials. DrDuktayp

My favorite t-shirt says-- "NITROx ROx Air SUx" Gotta love it. Some call it geezer gas as well. I am less tired after diving with enriched air (Nitrox) DrDuktayp

Also, when we add or make changes we need to not make too many at once. DrDuktayp

I can frog kick with mine. I read somewhere that they don't frog kick as well as non-spilts do. I think I will grab a pair of jets from the LDS and see for myself. DrDuktayp

If I were you I would definitely take a dry suit specialty course. I love diving cold water. I recently dove in Mexico and it was nice coming home and donning my dry suit again. -grin- DrDuktayp
