    Does everyone really need an SPG? (w/transmitter)

    In terms of reliability, I suspect a transmitter is roughly the same as an SPG in this day in age. This assumes it has adequate battery levels. In subsurface you can check your battery levels if there are any questions. So a prudent diver shouldnt have a dead AI transmitter due to battery...

    Does everyone really need the LP BCD inflator?

    The only thing you need to consider is if you are being rescued. Then it could be a hassle for the rescuer(s). But if your buoyant on the surface without your BCD inflated or they can drop your weight belt, it doesn't matter on paper. But you'll probably be lucky if they are that smart in a...

    separate octopus vs. bcd inflator/second stage combo

    Should be fine. Recreational setups typically sell with a 36" for octo. Those who primary donate usually have roughly 40". 43" sounds about right. You can try it next time while on your safety stop. Since we are in a covid world. The other person may "try" via putting it next to their mouth and...

    separate octopus vs. bcd inflator/second stage combo

    @NothingClever I totally agree, integrated octo is for recreational diving. I switch to a DIR team oriented setup for tech dives. Happy kwanzaa

    How to swap out the fitting on a Seaquest Power Inflator?

    Sorry, send me one more picture. The hose connection. Usually there is a connector you can pull off and two wrenches work

    separate octopus vs. bcd inflator/second stage combo

    Did the inflator slid out or did the zip tie break free? I'm happy that ended safely and you didnt have to leave the weights on the bottom of the ocean

    separate octopus vs. bcd inflator/second stage combo

    From my experience, its almost impossible to damage the corrugated hose connection via pulling. I doubt they can damage the LP inflator connection/hose as well. But if they can, well the air2 they are breathing from won't be working. Has anyone experienced or heard of a corrugated hose or LP...

    separate octopus vs. bcd inflator/second stage combo

    I agree with @scubadada. I always use a butt/kidney dump 99.99% of the time. I'm in horizontal trim even on ascents to the surface until the last 3 ft, so it's not a problem. I picked up the habit from my tech instructor and using the xDeep tec 2.0 sidemount bcd. In the most streamlined...

    I have a dui tls350 with zip seals. Wanted gloves and was thinking about rolock 90 or ultima... BUT the non permanent viking classic ring sounds way better. So I slide a hard ring inside my latex wrist zip seal. Is their a specific spot it needs to go? Then directly around the hard ring and...

    Drysuit leak at P Valve glue?

    What's a duckbill valve and how do I check it? Is it inside the pee valve body? Ok I'll do a leak test and then clean up the glue and redo it. I had undergarments on. And I left the pee valve shut since I didn't even connect the condom contraption at all. It doesn't have a quick connect if...

    Drysuit leak at P Valve glue?

    First time using a used drysuit I bought a year ago. Felt fine, 30 mins in I open my right pocket and felt a trinkle of cold water on my knee. After the dive maybe 1-2 inch of water in my boots. I think I found the culprit. Looks like the glue on the light monkey p valve is separating from the...

    Are you an EXPERIENCED recreational diver?

    I'd take a look at 0) dive lots but get your bouyancy, trim, and propulsion to very good level. These are foundational things that can be improved every dive 1) using a dsmb properly and it being second nature 2) navigation 3) mastering leading dives (controlling ndl and remaining gas in...
