That's a great price!

That is 100% hogwash. Total BS. A good SCR unit will cost a lot less than even the most basic, used mCCR. Training will be less expensive, the operation will be simpler, and maintenance will be less involved and less costly. Someone could be diving SCR including training for under $2500. You're...

There were problems. That can not be denied. It was announced too early. Manufacturing couldn't keep up. Lots of delays. Some retail outlets got fed up and bailed. All in all it was a terrible way to release a product. But that seems to be over now for everyone except tridacna. And his tired...

Something I've wanted for many years and have posted about before: Dive flag cuff links and studs. I'm still struggling to make my own because no one can make something small enough for studs. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

I think Tobin is also referring to the venturi effect that will draw water into the wing from anyplace it can while you are venting. So whether you vent gas by pulling on the corrugated hose or using the manual inflate/deflate button or using the pull dump on the bottom doesn't matter. As gas...

Yeah, I thought that dumping the salt water out first was self evident. Jeez, you're a picky bastard.

I did get the SiTec neck ring and latex seal. They did not offer any wrist system when I bought mine, but I prefer the Viking system anyway. The rings are only $75. And my price did not include undergarments since I already have 3. I like the Seaskin suit. I have always thought DUI suits...

Are you sure you are pricing that Seaskin correctly? I got my Nova with just about every option available and it was far less than that, even including overseas shipping and duty.

No one seems to be addressing what I see as the real problem here. It sounds like this is the first time you have ever emptied your wing bladder after a day of diving. Even if it doesn't feel heavy, proper maintenance after salt water diving is to add water inside the bladder, swish it around...

They don't actually need to be modular. I think you're just looking for left and right valves. I think of modular valves being able to accept a manifold crosspiece. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

I appreciate all the info, Doc. And someone I know is also getting one this week and promised to dissect it. But a thorough review at DEMA would be great for those of us that can't attend. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

You think... Therefore you video ;)

Tobin beat me to it. It is a common mistake to think of the 7/8 neck being bigger than an standard 3/4, but it is actually smaller. UNF is measured differently. You can recut a 3/4 valve to fit in a 7/8 neck, but not the other way around. BTW, it's hard to tell from the photo, but I couldn't...

Ok, that's great info. And I see the ADV is still on top. How about the OPV? Is it reachable? Then there's price and availability. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Sean - I'm a Guardian tech if you want to get your masks to me for service. Cost would be parts, beer, and a ride on the boat. I'm not sure what kind of failures you had. Were you using a ball valve or shutoffs? The generic Chinese made gas switching valve is junk and not worth saving a few...

Yup. But I think that was still in prototype mode.

Just food for thought. Shirt and glove system that I'm pretty sure is lots less than Santi. Diving Drysuit Heating Vest and Shirts iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Dive Rite is expected to reveal their long awaited back mount counterlungs for the Optima rebreather. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

I'm sure there are tanks that I know nothing about, but some of what you said just doesn't match my experience. True HP tanks are rated for 3500 psi and are almost always 7.25 inch diameter and 7/8 neck with 300 bar DIN valves required. These are primarily the old PST tanks. They were brought...

They look familiar. You get them from me? iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.
