Folks, What is the size of the wingnut bolt on the Halcyon Eclipse (new model): 5/16" or 3/8"? Many thanks

Many Thanks!

I'm diving a drysuit. Looks like my options are the DST or DS4? Tbone, given I'm using a drysuit, are you suggesting that the DST might not be best?

Hi Folks, Currently have an xtx 200 yoke. My son is getting into diving (GUE rec 1) so I am looking to get another reg. I'd like to get a xtx50 DIN that is suitable for a single or double configuration, given that I may move on to doubles next summer. Any recommendations on what model of the...

Many thanks. (I was doing a guest lecture on equipment and wanted to get facts right.)

I dove below the Falls a few years back, on the East side just off the road. My log book indicates a depth of 42'. Water temp was 71F late June. Saw 2-3 fish (Bass?). What I recall about Bala was the ripping current just off shore, from the falls. First dive I was about five feet off the bottom...

Hi Folks, A question for those familiar with NAUI policy. For the beginning open water course, are there any directives about using a Bp/W or long hose (6 feet) and bungee backup? Thanks!

I took a friend of mine who is blind snorkelling in Hawaii. He was amazed at the sound of the coral being eaten by fish and enjoyed himself tremendously. With diving, I can imagine that the feeling of neutral buoyancy in the middle water column would be fantastic to a person who happens to be...

Hi Folks, I see that the UW Light Dude Primary lights (e.g, LD-26 Primary Light | Underwater Light Dude) have on the canister two different options where the cord can come in: Top or Side (gland position). Does anyone have any insight into which position would be best for a given activity. It...

Hi Folks, I have a 35lbs Taurus wing with SS Bp, with 8lbs weight plate. My weight is perfect (5-6lbs, with drysuit), wrt buoyancy (I just sink with 500psi and exhale). Still working on horizontal trim and have a few questions related to what happens to trim as I move my Al80 tank up and down...

I recently stopped wearing my neoprene socks (and long john underwear on bottom), as I was feeling floaty in the feet. (Whites suit, with the fusion base layer). Trim seems to be much better (feet not going up) but not sure if due to removing neoprene socks, underwear, or both. Do folks think...

I have size 8 or 9. I'll check tonight. They have about 10 dives on them.

The XDeep BT will provide you with current depth, max depth and average depth, as well as the following (might be other functions): dive time, plain surface time, speed of vertical decent/accent (adjustable), compass, alarms (for Maximum depth, Average depth, Total dive time, Alarm clock...

Not sure about government running Bangaram. If it's closed, likely no dive shop whatsoever. It is a very small island (atoll) that had less than 50 huts. There is no town on the island. Worth emailing Lakshadweep tourism to inquire about current diving in that area.

I stayed on Bangaram for a week around 2010. Great spot, 250 km off the coast of Western India. Small island one could walk around in a couple of hours, accommodation for 50-60 people. I hear that it is closed now: www.cghearth.com/bangaram-island. If indeed open, happy to share more. Dive...

Lots of good advice presented here. "Potential" issues raised about instructor and how OP can handle, as well as several comments that support instructor's decision. We don't know complete story so none of us can offer a definitive position. nldiver1984, I'd encourage you to reflect critically...

For those of you who don't equalize your dry gloves, how deep do you typically dive? Do you have issues with squeeze if, say, you went beyond 40, 50, 60, 70 feet, etc.?

Some great suggestions here, thanks!
