    Aqualung Legend 1st 2nd and Octo

    Is this the new model or old model? DIN or yoke? Either way that price seems a bit high. They normally go on ebay for 150-450 depending on age, version, connector style etc.

    Wearing a mask on forehead a distress signal, now that seems ridiculous!

    Agree with above. I'm not going to hop in and rescue someone who is happily bobbing there with their mask on their forehead. Still, it'll never get knocked off and float away if its around your neck.

    For those diving double 130's and a BP with wing...

    Looks like you're going to be around -30 full, -11 empty depending on your setup (BP, d-rings, buckle, bands, manifold, regs, SS clips, etc.) More negative if you have lights, etc. If you're finding yourself overweighted you may consider switching to an Aluminum backplate. I found myself...

    For those diving double 130's and a BP with wing...

    Even in 104s I don't need any extra weight in my DS, certainly never in a wetsuit. A neoprene drysuit may be a bit floaty, but not sure... that said, do you have LP or HP 130s, steel or kydex BP, neo or trilam suit, and what is your build... I'd suggest hitting the pool. It's what i did...

    Wet suit for a big and tall guy

    I'm 6'5" and 270. I've worn my 3xl Henderson 8/7 semi dry as heavy as 280 and light as 260. Probably a bit warm for coz but if the 8/7 will stretch then a 3mm should have plebty of stretch.

    New Drysuit Purchase - USIA Techniflex

    I was finally got enough decongestants and expectorants in my system that I was able to get to the pool for a test dive. The suit performed well. I think... The pool house was well heated, with temps in the mid 80's and humidity as one would expect in a pool house. Not only did I have no...

    Which Fins/Mask for $200?

    Get a low volume mask that fits comfortably. I have a beuchat and an aqualung. Both have slap straps. for fins, if you are traveling, look for something light. I like my jet fins but they are heavy. Get spring straps, don't rely on a dive op somewhere else having a strap to fit your fins when...

    New Drysuit Purchase - USIA Techniflex

    It's been a while since I ordered, but my suit finally arrived!!! I watched with enthusiasm as my suit got closer and closer, and the wait was well worth it. I figured I'd give my initial review. This is a hands-on, try-on review of the suit and my experience, and I will write more once I get...

    Gear from 1997 - Still useful and safe?

    There is a whole section on the board for vintage equipment. And yours isn't old enough to qualify as vintage. Check it out, service if need be, and use it. Unless you can no longer get parts for it or it is damaged beyond repair dive it. Old doesn't mean its bad or needs to be replaced.

    DIY neoprene neck seal replacement

    Sounds like they are trying to upsell you. Have a competent shop install a new dump valve and seal, or put one in yourself.
