    P- Valve vs relief zipper vs depends

    My first drysuit was the Posiedon Unisuit wich had a zipper that came down the middle of your front from 8 " above your belly button down between your legs to the about 8" below your neck. It worked very well for relieving yourself without removing the suit (for # 1 and 2) . I also owned a...

    Question Teaching OW with backplate and wing from the very beginning ?

    One of things that is rarely discussed about the advantage of BP/wing over a standard BCD is how long the BP/Wing lasts. As a Dive professional for the last 42 years before I switched to a BP/wing I had to get a new BCD every 3 years because of Chlorine and wear and tear of teaching. I have been...

    Gear Rinse - Maybe a better way

    Halcyon Aluminium Backplate with stainless steel bolts for Backpad?

    I zip tied my pad to my aluminum Back plate.... Turn the attachment point to the actual hole so when you use the backplate everything will be flush with the back. I learned after wearing out my first pad the use of the the "t-bolts" or "Sex Nuts" were to much of a hassle to screw back to...

    DIR- GUE Why are non-GUE divers so interested in what GUE does?

    I beg to differ on your last comment " GUE has the potential to make you just slightly more comfy. So does any scuba school, honestly." I suggest that anybody interested in GUE read "THE FUNDAMENTALS OF BETTER DIVING (2021)". It is the updated version of of the First book " DOING IT RIGHT: THE...

    Twinsets, redundancy, and what problem are we solving...

    It has already mentioned above but more gas is the reason I even thought of putting twins on my back. The best visibility we could get on a consistent basis was Lake Superior. The best diving that you could do was on Shipwrecks. After diving the shallow one you yearned to dive the deeper ones...

    Question Scopolamine... where to get and cost

    Back in the early 80's Scopolamine was an over the counter medication that I sold at my dive store under the name "Triptone" as tablets to be taken orally. I used it exclusively while it was still available to us as a resale item at my store. In the 90's it was pulled of the shelves and became...
