    SPG Gauge Thickness

    I recently destroyed my SPG's cave diving through restrictions having them oriented down the tanks on the outside. So now I need new gauges and will be moving them across my chest instead. I ordered a replacement from divegearexpress and the gauge was TWICE as thick as my original. My original...

    Drysuit Adhesive Peeling and Sand in Exhaust Valve

    I purchased a Bare HDC Tech Dry suit under a year ago and the adhesive used to attach the pockets seem to already be peeling off. The adhesive on the exhaust valve also seems to be coming off. Anyway I can fix this easily myself? I'm not sure if this type of thing is covered by the Bare...

    Looking for Double D-Rings for reels/accessories

    I have a Hollis SMS75 which has pretty small loops for D-rings installed and there's not enough room for multiple reels, lights, whatever plus it's hard to find the D ring to clip things back onto it. So I'm looking to replace it with larger D rings as shown in the link below but it's way too...

    Drysuit floaty feet

    I know this is a common issue and I've read all over online about correcting it but my case is slightly different. I've already tried diving without adding ANY air into the suit, this means enduring the squeeze just to avoid floaty legs but this still doesn't work. I don't want to use ankle...

    Critique my Sidemount Trim and configuration

    I've tried having no weights and less weight on the cam straps. These aluminum tanks are very floaty. Here's a video of what it looks like with 2lbs on each tank instead of 4lbs. I have added lower attachment points which I've tried but the trim wasn't nearly as good as it is now. Thanks for...

    Critique my Sidemount Trim and configuration

    I just started sidemounting and haven't taken the course yet. I've just been doing my own research and tweaking my gear after every dive. I would appreciate any constructive input on my current setup. I have the sidemount course scheduled in a couple weeks.

    Sliding D-rings For Sidemount

    Where can I purchase these online? I can't seem to find a vendor. I dive with Al80's for sidemount and their trim is terrible. Thanks

    Bcd Inflator Clip

    What do you guys use to hold the inflator to the D ring? Just a little bungee with a boltsnap or something like that? Thanks!

    Before I order from Leisure pro will it fit on my SMS75? It says SMS100 but on the Hollis website the seemingly identical weight plate fits both. Thanks SMS WEIGHT PLATE Hollis SMS100 Weight Plate

    How Do These Bungees Secure The Tank?

    I will be taking a course, but they aren't offered until may where I am. So until then I'm going to mess around with my gear in my pool and do a little self teaching. I still need to figure out what the methods are of attaching dump-able weights to the BCD Thanks for the help!

    How Do These Bungees Secure The Tank?

    New to sidemount, purchased my first rig, Hollis SMS75. How do these particular bungees go around the valve? Does anyone have pictures? Thanks

    Sidemount Tanks Options

    I have a very dense body and use very little weights or none when diving. Last time I dived in a 7mm wetsuit with an AL80 I used about 8 lbs of weights. In a drysuit with a Faber steel HP100 and a steel 23 pony I used 3 lbs of weights (total) on my ankles to maintain trim but even then I was...

    Any tank suitable for diving?

    Are these tanks on amazon safe, reliable and suitable for diving? They seem pretty cheap. Are there difference between scuba life support tanks and other tanks just used for storage of a gas? Thanks Amazon.com : 80cf Scuba Diving Tank - New Aluminum Cylinder with Combo Valve : Sports & Outdoors

    Versatile Sidemount BC?

    Some good info. I'm looking to get into sidemount diving so I'm new to the practice. When diving a single on a sidemount rig are you not unbalanced and tend to roll in the water?

    Versatile Sidemount BC?

    I'm looking for a high quality versatile and future proof sidemount rig. Basically something I can use for a sidemount configuration as well as mounting them on my back conventionally just so I have the option. Are there any such products?

    Does this drysuit look too baggy?

    I just picked it up from the shop but the girl working at the time didn't know much about it. The shop owner won't be in for a couple weeks. I have fairly muscular limbs so I ordered a custom suit to fit my proportions. However it seems that the torso is yet again too baggy and is made for your...

    Drysuit fit for Ice Diving

    I'm 5'8" 200 lbs and muscular. Once I go thicker than a 3mm wetsuit my arms and legs have a VERY difficult time squeezing into the sleeves of an XL while the wetsuit is still baggy on my torso. Even the 3mm wetsuit is a little baggy everywhere but my arms and legs but at least I can stretch it...

    Apeks XTX50 for Ice Diving?

    Whenever looking at octo specs I can never tell if it's good for cold water or not. The Scubapro S360 caught my eye though. Would it also be suitable? Thanks again. Amazon.com : ScubaPro S360 Balanced Octo : Diving Regulators : Sports & Outdoors

    Apeks XTX50 for Ice Diving?

    So the R195 is just as good in cold water as the XTX50? I'm more concerned with cold water performance than ease of service tbh.

    Apeks XTX50 for Ice Diving?

    I have the scuba pro MK25 EVO first stage. I'm assuming my 1st stage and the XTX50 Octo I linked above will work well? I use a scuba pro A700 as my main reg.
