Diving concepts has gone out of business, and I can't find a size chart, can you post measurements for the suit? Or a size chart? Some pictures would be nice too.

Hardly. Hence my desire for legal assurances. And my appreciation that the files are destroyed rather than non-releasable to the public. I prefer that they arent creating a paper trail. Paper trails, historically speaking, always become public eventually...

Knowing this, especially if I could get legal assurances of protection of such information, I would be more comfortable reporting finds. Thank for the objective information.

Does the UK not have some variation of the US's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?

The subset may primarily be on the NE coast, but not centered there. I'm originally from the midwest, and currently in Korea, and I can't say my locality would have changed my view on the matter. I think it's more of an American conservative view on fruits of one's labor and Governments'...

I agree, I'd like more information. I'm not from the UK, but from an American point of view, they were being lost to the ocean. If the "rightful owners" wanted the items they ought to have contracted for their recovery. Then have repaid the insurance company for the claim from the loss vessel (I...

I think the 60 will cause more problems than it's worth. Its way way too much lift. I use a 60lb wing with lp104 doubles. Thats almost 100lbs of gas tanks. You will have tons of tacoing and defeat the benefit of the bp/w setup with that arrangement. Its worth it looking for a proper single wing...

That doesn't even make sense...

As are trydiving.com and tryoutdiving.com. kind of a worthless domain unless you get all of the closely related names. Maybe PADI would be interested for a redirect site. I couldn't see if as much more than that. Most decent dive shops rely on more than just OW classes. Repeat business seems to...

Didnt know the HOG was a USIA. Do they use the same sizing and have similar fit?

That problem was easily remedied with a drillbit, ruler, drill, and a scribe. Adding the extra hole allowed me to raise my doubles while keeping the bands at the break. Not going to lie, I like the thought of the long pattern plate but I use an Al plate for the weight savings. I know Tobin...

Hmmm... reality check time. CCRdiving.com, a site with better history, great forum potential, and some backlink presence, plus a much more suitable name, is selling for a little under $1,900. And you think €5,000 is appropriate for an awkward name with no history?

I'm 6'6" and I'm using a standard plate. I tried lengthening the waist belt and shortening the crotch strap to pull the middle of the waistband down but went back to normal. The waist band high never bothered me. I can still do valve drills on my doubles. Why the concern with having the waist...

I'd be interested in some long term reviews on this as well...

Disassemble your reg as little as possible. You increase your risk of damaging an o-ring, cross threading, or getting debris into your hose. If you're buying the 1st and 2nd stage you might as well spring for the octo and gauge. You can get a used gauge for under 60 on ebay or the board, and any...

6 year old thread broight to life. Wipe down the mouthpiece with a disinfectant wipe. Dive. Or bring your own. Or buy a reg. They're not that pricey if youre going somewhere else to dive... and clean the regs. Before you put it in your mouth swish it in the water, all around. Then do a quick...

Youve got a PM with an offer. You haven't been on SB in a while. Hoping youve got alerts turned on...

Starboard is old offhand for the stearing board, and I always steer with my right hand. This doesn't work for those wrong handed folks, or those not obsessed with weird history facts...

Fear of such a malfunction is one reason why I'm searching so hard for a drysuit, redundant buoyancy. Ive got an SMB that will do the job for the short term. I've got 6 or 7 patches in an older dive rite single tank wing. Aquaseal seems to be doing the job thus far, but I wouldn't make the same...

What a tease...
