I screw the DIN cap onto the DIN plug and put them in my mask case, they both tend to wander off if they are not attached to each other and in a confined space. I always carry a 10' adjustable wrench , unless I am flying, to take out DIN plugs that have gotten pressure behind them, it also...

Sounds like an interesting solution, putting an o-ring in as a cushion.

Am I just unlucky or is there a problem with the Zeagle 2nd stage housings cracking? I have 4 ZX second stages and 2 of them have cracked where the hose enters the casing. I only found the cracks because the regs were breathing wet and and found them when examining them for loose or damaged...

Some of the LDS's will sell that package to the people starting the class telling them that it will make them great divers and that it will make them love the sport and it is Life Support, etcetera, etcetera.

If you want to improve your "diving" skills the DM course is probably not the best route to go down. As stated above the core of the DM course is about teaching the class skills, education philosophies, dive site and class management and safety issues. Most DM candidates diving skills do...

There is also this one at Cave Adventures. Picked up a couple for my Sidemount rig. Cave Adventurers - Dive Rite Compact Brass SPG - Marianna, Florida USA - Never Undersold!

I do not believe the DS4 can be upgraded othere than converting to DIN/Yoke. The DST can have the 5th port added to the bottom of the reg by changing out the turret retaining bolt to one with the 5th port incorporated into it.

I just started diving the LTZ which is the LS's predacesor, they made the harnes modular and a few other minor tweeks. So far I like it but I only have about 6 dives on it. If you are diving cold water carrying enough weight can be an issue especially if you are diving AL tanks. The lift may be...

Jammers and a Lycra skin. Board shorts bunch up. Lycra skin makes getting into the suit much easier and will act as a sun screen on the surface.

A Brass and Glass spg with a protective housing and a hose from one of the online retailers, Dive Gear Expess, would probably be cheaper and of equal or better quality, I believe the Suunto gauge has a plastic housing. All or almost all the brass and glas spg are made in the same factory in...

I am in the same boat with some OMS tanks so I am following this thread

I think what you get out of the DM course is dependent on 4 things. 1 Instructor, 2 location, 3 shop and 4 how much you put into the class. The PADI course its self is mostly about being able to perform the, I believe it is 24, skills to demonstration quality, rescue and teaching skills. It does...

The Oasis of the Seas and the Allure of the Sea are great ships to go on just from the aspect that they are truly a wonder to see but they are HUGE, over 3000 passengers. We have been on every major cruise line except Disney and like Carnival best over all. Holland America tends to have an older...

A couple of the boats I have been on, Great Lakes, don't really have room for much gear besides your dive gear and limited personal belongings. The cabin is reserved for Dry storage, clothes, dry exposure gear personal belongings ect., and divers out and back to the dive site. The open decks...

VARTA is a brand name. any CR1/2AA lithium ion 3.0V battery should work They can be hard to find but most of the specialty battery shops should carry them or can get them.

If the disembarking time is 8:00 getting off the ship and making a connection with a dive op for the 8:00 boats is almost impossible. Most of the boats go out at 8:00 so you do not have time to get off the ship and get to where you will be picked up. Blue Angel does or used to run a boat at...

Another possibility is an issue in DM5. Suuntos software has not been known for its stability and user friendship.

If you have access to a pool where you can swim laps put your fins on and swim laps on your back using the flutter and frog kick. I will do the flutter kick and the frog kick. When I am feeling real dedicated I will work up to about an hour and a half and 1.5 to 1.75 miles distance once a week...

It could be marginal if you get very deep and compress the suit. A steel tank will only move weight from your belt to your back. The amount of weight you need does not really change between steel and AL. I would make a guestimate that you will need 20-22# in salt water which does not leave much...

My perspective on buddying up with a new diver like many have said is dependent on the situation. If I have been DMing on a particular day or gone up for weekend of fun dives and a new diver wants to do do a nice simple shallow fun dive when I am not working that's fine. I know that I will be a...
