    gluing on pocket question...

    Overall happy with the way it turned out. I glued about 1/4" outside the tracing to ensure full coverage. The overage doesn't look too bad, but it is a oittle uneven between the two sides. I used packing tape to outline the line and ensure a clean job. It seemed to do a good job and was laying...

    What Would You Do?

    I'd confront. Probably on the surface. But I'm a confrontational type of person. The letter was well played. Glad you got a response. A few posts on travel sites would probably help drive the conversation concept home for the dive ops.

    I got the can with the brush. If it turns out well I'll do a post. Been done before but don't think another how-to will hurt. Thanks!

    gluing on pocket question...

    Getting ready to glue a pocket on my wetsuit. I bought some mcnett neoprene cement, I've read through old posts and I'm confident i can pull it off. However, in reading through old posts I noticed everyone using neoprene cement used neoprene backed pockets. The halcyon pockets I have are fabric...

    What's in Your Pockets

    Considering the DIR standard is one pocket on left thigh and one on right i can't imagine anyone asking him to remove them. What agency did you dive that had you remove pockets. My intro to tech taught me to remove all the extra hanging stuff from my BP and harness. No hanging spools, SMB, etc...

    Cheap entry level wrist computer

    My wife and i both have zoops. They come up for under 200 all the time online. Just picked up a used vytec for 50. Haven't dove with it yet but liked the multigas setup and ability to change algorithms.

    What is your Recommended online US Scuba Shop

    Can also recommend wreck diver supply. Good selection of advanced and hard to find gear. Deep sea supply sells their gear direct from their site, dive addicts also has good selection and good customer service. I also recommend the classifieds and ebay.

    When i got certed I remember my instructor talking to me about freediving during the SI as long as I kept my computer on. Matter of fact, I remember doing some shallow dives between my open water checkout dives. He recommended it as I recall...

    XXL Scubapro Everdry 4 Drysuit (Mens)

    Shat is the real world fit on this? According to the SP website the suit is 144 tall. Which is either 12feet, or 4 foot 8 inches. Neither makes much sense. What height range, chest, etc?

    Decompression Course

    Searched through the OPs posts and couldn't find anything on his setup. Most courses are tech oriented, which makes since sense since deco is, by definition, not recreational. But OP didnt say if he has any experience in doubles, or any previous tech training for that matter. I'm by no means the...

    Halcyon U.S Based Online Store

    You may also want to check out extreme-exposure.com. They have very close business ties with both Halcyon and GUE. Pretty sure JJ is either owner/CEO/president/board member or some other high up for all three. That said, I just order some gear through Wreckdiversupply and Ken was a great guy...

    They don't ship to the states. Its a PN in their catalog. Any AL dealer should be able to get one in for you. Spare parts show up on ebay from time to time.

    Question on.... pockets.

    I've tried to stay pretty true to the DIR philosophy of diving pretty much sense i got my OW card. I'm to the point now of needing room for more gear, particularly a notebook, smb, finger spool, and dive tables. Long term plan is for a drysuit, going back and forth between a 4th element argonaut...

    What gear malfunctions have you ever had?

    Had an STA come unbolted from my backplate on the first dive of my honeymoon, dive number three after getting my OW. Tank tried to float to the surface and ripped my reg out. Had a pancake style apeks octo do a freeflow on giant stride entry on my first cold water dive. Spent 5 minutes avoiding...
