    Using a wing set-up for recreational diving?

    i have 4 legends. They are great. Simple to service. Easy to tune, good breathing. And sell for cheap on ebay. I have two for my twins, one for stage/pony, and one for vacationing. I got my BP/W after my OW check dives. Where I got certified there is now at least one shop who does their...

    Weight placement with doubles

    Bands should be at the break on the tanks. Sounds like that is right. Were you using an aluminum or steel plate?

    Post your last gear purchase

    Just got my drysuit back from having new socks put on. Had a pair of halcyon exploration pockets installed while it was out. Got two new pairs of fins just before mailing it for the repairs. Not sure whether I'm going to stick with 2xl jets or 2xl slipstreams.

    SemiDry Suits

    I switched to a drysuit but i liked my Henderson, worked great down to freezing temps. Should be more than enough for summer diving in California, assuming you're not too cold blooded...

    Warning about RDX-650 and Sea & Sea service

    Is Sea&Sea still in contact with you? Have they told you what they plan on doing to fix this? At least they took it back. GoPro is still giving my BS about how many SD cards I've tried...

    DIY Gear Storage Rack

    I bought one of those metal clothing racks on sale recently. It fits all our wetsuits, my drysuit, boots, masks, and my wife's BCD. I have my main backplate on my twins sitting nearby and my travel wing in a big tupperware with other "spare stuff." I hang my DIN regs using some s-biners, same...

    Building underwater attractions

    If each panel was hinged at the top it would allow a panicking diver to just make an easy exit in any direction by just swimming through the wall, while allowing a great training site for wreck penetration. Floors would have to be solid if you wanted to make it multi-layered but it would make an...

    Fin Opinion

    Canon 5D Mark II + Aquatica Housing

    Might have been 12k worth of gear when purchased new. Almost anyone could put together that collection on ebay for under 5500 today. Most of those lenses have come down in price and that body is two generations old now. You may be asking a bit much. Try pricing those components searching through...

    which type of SMB do you use?

    I use halcyon have a 3' and a 6'. I like the oral valve. Works great off a drysuit or inflator hose. Easy to control. I added SOLAS tape to mine for better visibility.

    Buying new set of tanks - Looking for advice

    If you go tech, a big single tank isn't going to be the way to go. Look at buying two Al80s. Get them with a manifold and plugs. You can plug them for diving as singles for you and your wife, or band them when its time to start your tech career. If you get a big single you'll be looking for...

    canister light in Aluminium

    Aluminum has a much higher specific gravity than delrin or CPVC (2.6-2.8 vs 1.5) so is less negatively buoyant, helping prevent overweighting. or at least decrease
