    Computer shopping? (HATE my oceanic). AI wireless?

    Get the Suunto computer only use it then add the wireless module later, split the purchase and spread the cost out. It's not a $900 hit at one time that way. Several other brands are sold that way also.

    Sherwood Magnum vs BRUT vs Zeagle Rezort

    I would also go with the Zeagle. At some point you may want a new primary reg and another Zeaglewould fill that bill for you.

    Guys -- Bathing Suit under 3mm wetsuit? 7mm wetsuit?

    The only reason for a North American man that doesn’t swim competitively to own a speedo is for under their wet suits, those board short wedgies are not to pleasant.

    Selecting a wing, where to start?

    Buy one setup and add the smaller tropical or larger doubles for ice diving wing later, one of the good things about the system is the wings can be easily changed. DSS are my choice also.

    High Pressure Miflex

    I use their hoses on all my regs and drysuit/BCD inflation hoses, but I kinda like the thick feel of my SPG hose when I reach down for it with heavy dry suit gloves on. I often reach down and back hit the hose and run my hand along it to the SPG which is bungeed at the bottom my BC or plate on a...

    Which one? Apeks vs. Poseidon

    Apeks, had problems years ago (they were the only choice I had for a 2 year long diving survey) with Poseidon (yes I know they are different now), I don't touch them. Part of the problem was their limited a availability of service in North America the other problem was in the design. People who...

    Two Zeagle FH6 vs. one Scubapro or Aqualung?

    Go for the Zeagles, you won't regret it. That's what I did when I found Zeagles at great prices. Bought 2 with their octos, then use the 2nds on one reg and have the rest as backup when I need two regs like travel and when a really really good friend needs one.

    What's the most solid reg for the best price?

    I agree with some of the comments above get YOURSELF a backup reg, something you would use and let him BORROW it when he dives with you.

    Cover yo' head!...

    You may lose the same amount of heat through your head as the rest of your body, but when vaso constriction takes place in the limbs and reduces blood flow extremities get colder, the head on the other hand increases blood flow (can’t freeze the brain or even cool it) so more warm blood...

    Water in BCD

    Don't suck them dry ever, even with good cleaning a bit of mildew fungus will grow in there, you don't want that in your lungs. I run fresh water through mine after every dive as noted above.
