    For Sale Mares Icon HD Net Ready with 2 transmitters sold

    Almost new, with only 38 dives. I was going to use both transmitters on my SM rig, but I've decided to go tech, so no AI. Always pairs easily. I've never had problems with signal dropping off. . $700 OBO

    choice of dry suit

    I'm pretty happy so far after 12 dives with my Bare XCD2. I had a Fusion that just wouldn't stop leaking after two trips back to the factory and 3 or 4 sessions at the LDS. The final straw was my right shoulder issues making it almost impossible to operate the dump. They put it too far back...

    That has to be the case. I was pretty sure I had emptied both suit and BC, but nothing else makes sense. My descent rate does accelerate pretty quickly if I don't get gas in there smartly. Thanks to both of you.

    This is one of those questions that I think I know the answer, and may sound like a muppet even posing it, but here goes: Nomad LTZ, Bare XCD2, Thermal fusion undies, lp85's, 10lb in the spine pockets, 6lb in shoulder pouches, fresh water shore dive. At the beginning of the dive, empty the...

    Do you have any dive travel regrets?

    Booked a fairly pricey trip supposedly with a good sized group heading off to dive great wrecks. "No problem getting a dive buddy.", he said. It turned out there was a pair of tech divers who only dove together and the organizer and his wife who also dove tech. Ended up hiring a dive buddy...

    Mares HD Icon vs. Oceanic VTX vs. Oceanic Oci + question about backups

    Yup 3-5 dives easily. I have been using an spg as backup, but getting to the point where I may leave it off. OTOH, it doesn't take up much real estate. I very seldom look at it and when I guesstimate my remaining gas before checking, I'm always pretty close, lately underestimating more often...

    Mares HD Icon vs. Oceanic VTX vs. Oceanic Oci + question about backups

    I love my Icon. It never loses connection, easy to read, easy to pair. The short battery life is its worst fault, but plugging it in each night, just like a cell phone is no biggie, and keeps the battery level topped up. I even got a second transmitter for sidemount, but haven't actually used...

    Finclip Vs Straps

    With my poor leg flexibility, donning and doffing fins can be problematic. A combination of the rubber fin straps on my Powerplanas and working at it, I've got to the point where I can just manage it. If these finclips work, they would make it a much more pleasant job. I wonder though how...
