    Choosing between Aqua Lung Helix and SP MK25/S620Ti

    There is nothing new in the Helix....it is just a rebadged Core, which is basically an iteration of the Titan LX. Read post #2 at this link. While the recent past has been tumultuous for Aqualung, and their future as an aquisition by Head is currently uncertain, Aqaulung has a well enough...

    Dry Glove Leak Testing?

    The 495 has a removable glove liner...in this I stance the glove liner means an actual "under glove", a separate glove for insulation purposes. The 720 has an acrylic flocking that lines it similar to the cotton flocking that lines the 495 gloves you have (the grayish white interior of the...

    Dry Glove Leak Testing?

    Try pulling your gloves inside out and do the pressure test again....sometimes with a small puncture, the material will press closed when pressure tested in one direction and push open when pressure tested the other way. It sounds odd, but its true. If the diameter of the glove is larger than...

    Question Buddy Commando APV200 - Decent BCD?

    The fact that you are asking this question is that your gut is already telling you something. Unless you are emotionally attached to this BCD because it equates to whatever was the British/Scotish version of the Chevy Impala that you got laid in for the very first time, you should follow the...

    Scubagaskets getting into the Reg business

    Buy the octo version and if the yellow hose doesn't suit you, change the hose to whatever color you want....it is a standard hose under the tapered plastic piece of the TPS...just remove the set screw and unscrew the plastic piece to expose the hose fittings. -Z

    Don't be upset just because Mares killed off Dacor and left you as an orphaned fanboy. You should be happy....you found Scubapro. Don't be a hater. -Z

    Scubagaskets getting into the Reg business

    As you and I both know, the post-2008 MR22 body was just a rebadged MR32. While it doesn't have the lustrous chrome finish of the original MR22, the MR32/post-2008 MR22 was an evolution of the original MR22 1st stage showing that it was possible to significantly pear it down to its basic...

    Scubagaskets getting into the Reg business

    Functionaly, perhaps....aesthectically and spiritualy, not a chance. Agree 100%!!! Not that the 52X was visually appealing either, but to nix the 22X to offer relatively the same internals with such ugly beasts, only to offer the functionality of a rotating turret in such digusting form is a...

    Rolock 90

    Just a followup to this and a DM conversation with @sharko108: As I have stated, the Ultima rings are a good system but the company redesigned the glove-side rings to add the "twist" tabs to facilitate separation/removal of the gloves post dive. While that is a positive change, it in itself...

    Ultima Dry Glove System question

    I have been using 720s for a number of years now...while they tend to feel a bit snug for their size, the nitrile material seems to relax/stretch a bit with use, and becomes more comfortable. For undergloves, I use Dakine Storm liner gloves. Like ski boots, bulk is not better, blood flow...

    where to buy bungee for necklace?

    You can buy bungee by the foot online from Dive Gear Express...not the most cost economical way to purchase it unless you are buying other stuff to defray the cost of shipping. West Marine or any boating store should have bungee for sale by the foot. Other sources to check would be your local...

    I am interested to know more about the design of this....is it designed more akin to the Aqualung/Mares "T" style poppet? Or is there a new poppet design entering the market? -Z

    aqualung Air source 3

    What it means is this: Due to a problem with the button on the original Airsource 3, Aqualung temporarily included a new button and screw in the service kit. At some point in time, Aqualung stopped including the button and screw in the service kit. -Z

    aqualung Air source 3

    According to the Aqualung spare parts catalog(s), Aqualung had temporarily included the replacement button and screw in the service kits for the Airsource 3: The 1st version AirSource 3 was produced from 2008 to 2011, and overlapped with the 2nd version which was put on the market in 2010...

    aqualung Air source 3

    The part # for what you circled is 15241 (Button w/screw)...this part number fixed a running change with the screw that threads into the back of the button. The color of the button changed to grey sometime between 2016 and 2017, with an associated part # of 15264 (OI Button, Grey) and 15187...
