I've only been in January, but I hear the water is much warmer and the viz tends to be a lot better in summer. Still, I managed to dive with a manta ray circling us for 15 minutes in 20ft vis in January, so vis certainly isn't the only thing that matters in enjoying your dive.

My Santi e.Motion came with the system installed from the factory. The ring doesn't seem to interfere with my harness. I'm not even sure if the harness sits on or off of it, but I don't notice any discomfort underwater. Above water, I feel the straps pushing down more than with my old...

Just for an update…. I ended up not having much luck with the pullover gloves. One hand was totally dry while the other leaked very slowly resulting in my hand being fairly wet at the end of the dive. After switching out a new liner for the second dive, my hand was pretty wet for a second dive...

It is possible to max out your oxygen clock doing recreational profiles, but it takes a lot of dives per day to get there especially if you're not going below 60ft. The table limits I have in front of me at a ppO2 of 1.0 (.33 x 3atm @ 60ft) comes out to 5 hours over a 24 hour period, but you...

Something else to keep in mind is not just how big the camera or the housing is underwater, but how big it is to travel with. If you're not diving locally, you'll need to bring everything with you on a plane, quite likely along with other dive gear plus of course your normal luggage (clothes...

I'm using size 10 pullovers, but I can see how they may not seal ideally. If they're no good, they were pretty cheap so no huge loss there. Up until a few weeks ago, I was using the Atlas 620s in size L. These worked fine with a thinner liner, but as the water's gotten colder I've switched to a...

Not long after I started this thread, I probably spent an hour in the parking lot fighting with my gloves and rings. One of the gloves was just not latching. I tried swapping them around since the troublesome ring seemed to attach fine when I swapped it to the other arm. Since it was raining...

I messaged Santi on Facebook today. They responded by saying they'll make the announcement of the new distributor at BTS.

For several years I've been using various Atlas gloves (495, 660) with the SiTech Glove Lock QCP system on my old suit without much trouble. However, my new suit has the SiTech Antares oval ring system built in. While I like the low profile, these rings have been the source of several...

Hmmm, I didn't know there was a mobile app. You might also try the Shearwater Research forum: Shearwater Research

Deleting entries or clearing the log is not supported. I can't find the thread right now, but I believe this is 'By Design' to prohibit people from deleting evidence in case of an accident. Here's a recent thread which discusses one possible workaround for completely clearing the log, but that...

What diameter?

I had this same problem about a year ago. None of the dealers online seemed to list the part at all. Have you tried contacting a dealer by phone or email? A local dealer told me they could order the part, but actually happened to have one in the back from another customer who had never picked...

I live basically in downtown Seattle (Capitol Hill) and mostly dive locally. I can be at Cove 2 (our local "mud hole") in about 15 minutes drive if there's no traffic or to a variety of other shore diving sites (no need to charter a boat) within an hour. It is cold water diving (42F-51F...

How long did it take from order to delivery? It's going on 4 weeks now since I ordered a made-to-measure E.motion in mid-June. I know the shop said 6-8 weeks and there's still plenty of time to go, but I'm still hoping for it to come sooner! :D

The o rings I ordered came in today. The #008 sized ones look like a perfect fit, but after replacing them I'm still getting hissing. It's much less pronounced than before, but unfortunately that still means there's a slow leak. If I fiddle with the inner post by tapping or rotating it, I can...

I was able to order a kit with a bunch of different sized rings for $12 from Amazon including shipping. Hopefully, it'll do the trick but if not I'll PM Peter about the new inflators. Thanks everybody for the help!

From that other thread, it looks like the standard #8 or #9 o-rings will fit. Unfortunately, none of the ones in my (albeit somewhat limited) collection fit. As for where to buy them, everything I can find locally indicates only large B2B sales. It looks like there are a few places online that...

So my SiTech drysuit inflator valve has been leaking air lately. It started out only happening occasionally, but seems to now happen on every dive. It is not a high volume leak but rather more gradual. When it's been particularly bad I can descend without hitting the inflator at all and still...

In my experience, it definitely pays to shop around for tanks at different shops. LDSs often beat online retailers substantially on price when it comes to tanks. In the Seattle area, I've seen XS Scuba/Worthington HP100s as cheap as $310 new on a good sale. A lot of shops around here will also...
