Answering two threads here, I recertified with a jacket BC and hated it. First BC I owned afterwards was a plastic BP and Dive Rite wing. I currently own it, and a Dive Rite SS BP and Classic wing, along with my OMS bungee wings of death. I just saw the new Halcyon 70-80 pound lift wing. Slap...

Hey Mark! Anytime you want to go hit some caves give me a shout- Cannonball is a fair drive but worth the effort. One of my buddies is going to Mine LaMotte this weekend to check conditions, then I and some other buddies will be there next weekend. If you want, drop me a line and I can add...

Hey Yooper- Email Barnacle over on D-Link and he'll put you on the email list. there will be at least 4 of us wanting to do some things in the 130 to 200 ft area on trimix. Techdiver is going to help out too. c-ya and Dive safe Brock

Hiya and welcome. I'm getting more and more interested in Techincal diving in the Great Lakes. I was up in Munising, dove the Smith Moore and was awestruck! I'm coming up again with some friends and some trimix, so Bit by bit I'm getting more experience. My dream Dive is the "Gunilda" I...

I've 2 for different uses. Viking Xtreme with C-Bear Jumpsuit and cabelas 2 pc undies, SiTech P-valve. I use it primarily for travel and warmer water. Just got a Northern Diver Tech. 8mm Compressed to 4. Huge pockets, SiTech dryglove system, apeks valves, reflector patches for low vis...

Because Missouri caves get deep FAST and because the best wrecks in the Great Lakes are deep, that's why I want to do deep dives. Ive been doing pretty Normoxic back gas mixes, but I'm getting more comfortable with hypoxic (12 to 16%) Cannonball has been pushed to 360 ft, and the Gunilda is...

I have the Si-Tech on my Viking xtreme - a bit bulky but works like a charm and no futzing about with bolts. I'll probably put one on my new Northern Diver Tech also. But I still where a depends as a "back up" so to speak. Check with Bob3 for the SiTech's price Dive safe Brock

and may I become a charter member of the BWDC? Tanks and Dive Safe. Brock

So Cannonball Cave in Missouri has been the best for me so far. Dive safe Brock:D

Here is where I do agree with you both. I've learned a bunch from these boards, but I've learned more from experience. LY, you have wayy more Great Lakes experience than I so I come to you and read your posts with interest. Uncle Pug I do not know you so well, but I will be reading your...

No thanks. Too Sweet- rots your teeth. Well Fine, just fine. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery , but no, you get all hot and testy. <Sniff> I'll just go away then. Thats ok- dont worry about me, I'll be ok. just probably die in some cave cuz Roak sez i ripped off his name and...

When I bought my 100# dual bladder wings the instructions specifically said "inflate the bladder fully and using MODERATE tension, tie the chords using a square knots" In other words, read the instructions. They also state that the Total lift is 100 lbs but the working lift is 50. The second...

I've heard of it. My buddy wants to carry it, and Alex Vassalo said they should be ready to ship to the US by Jan, just in time to debut at DEMA. My Brit buddies love the stuff. Dive safe Brock:D

I have as follows D-R SS bp with DIR harness D-R Classic wing OMS dual bladder 100# wing. The more I use the OMS wing the more I like it. It is far better made than the D-R, and with proper adjustment (in other words, read the instructions) no more difficult to orally inflate than the Dive...

Regulars include Tod Guenther, the Grogans(Wendell and John), Stuart Morrison, Mark Nimmin. Okiecaver gives it 3 bats up Dive safe Brock

I'm inclined towards another Viking ( I have a Viking Xtreme) or an Abyss Atlantis. I use Argon almost all the time and if you use it right, it's a great help. The thing about argon that no one mentions is that you have to purge as much air out of your suit as possible. What I do is I suit...

Sorry we missed each other at Da UP. I like the Tech/Atlantis model. I'm going to email them tonight with my specs and get a quote. I'll also do a search on google for dealers. I've read your posts on the GUE list- have you joined the DIS-UK group on Yahoo yet? Dive safe and thanks...
