I actually ended up selling it with a stock tech tube, 2x DeWALT batteries, for $2k CAD.

Not a Genesis, but I solved this problem on my Suex using a Silva C58 compass (the boat version, not the kayak version). This compass has compensators, so with a little bit of work you can mount the compass to the scooter and the adjust the compass to compensate for the permanent magnetic fields.

It’s a heating wire. They’re the older version of the GEARS 12v motorcycle heated socks.

I have got ‘tingles’ before from my 12V heated undergarments - specifically the heated socks, which have quite a lot of use, if they get wet. I can turn the system on and off using the battery and feel the mild electric current in my feet.

Definitely needs to be stranded, I feel that goes without saying. I have been using silicone-insulated wire for my own heating wiring harness, which exhibits good flexibility (better than PVC) over a wide range of temperature.

- Heating panels on the wrists - I've been experimenting with active heated wrist warmers and I find excellent results with notably warmer hands when I pump 10W of heat into the area just inside my wrists. - Somewhat watertight connectors, so that they don't get corroded in the case of a suit...

You actually can rinse a trilam drysuit in a 5 gallon bucket. I shore dive 2x per week on average, and I do almost all my gear rinsing on site with a bucket of fresh water that I bring from home.

I will say, over-compression is absolutely possible. I counterintuitively find my feet to be warmer when I wear one pair of socks rather than two (I have neoprene socks on the drysuit and use boots). I also personally find that wool isn’t ideal for socks inside a drysuit, as it doesn’t wick as...

I haven't seen or used the Subgravity plate, so I can't weigh in on that. I can vouch for the quality of the DGX singles wing though, I own it and use it as my travel setup. If you're mix-and-matching, I'd personally recommend buying the webbing kit from Halcyon, as I found the DGX webbing to...

Most common are the same as with any reg brands - DIN o-ring, HP spool o-rings, LP hose-to-1st-stage O-ring. Personally, given that they're very small, I have an Apeks 1st and 2nd stage kit in my save-a-dive kit, but that's probably a little extra.

For those prices, the Quantum seems like the logical choice. My only concern would be the fairly low thrust creating some limitations when using a scooter in a high-current area (which is the only time I normally get into the upper ranges of my XJ-S’s power for any amount of time).

To be clear, what I'm saying: - Neoprene glove liners, inside your dryglove, equalized with suit pressure as you descend, will compress and lose some of their insulative properties as you descend. - Merino/fleece/Primaloft drygloves, equalized with suit pressure and given sufficient room to...

I’m not sure about that. I agree that neoprene will compress, because it contains completely-sealed gas bubbles that compress with an increase in absolute pressure. But conventional insulation that relies on ‘loft’ (like Primaloft or fleece) doesn’t have sealed gas bubbles, so I don’t see why it...

Two product suggestions: These heated motorcycle liners, which I’ve been using for 3 years without any issues. They do want to run on a slightly higher voltage than many 12V batteries, since they’re intended to run on 13V+ alternator output, but they still pull 18W @ 12V. Wrist warmers/wrist...

Whoa. That’s a big chunk more than the cost in the EU. £3150 currently, including the 20% VAT. Should work out to $3500 USD without the VAT (which doesn’t need to be charged on shipments outside the UK).

To me, a relative newcomer to GUE (since 2021), it seems fairly clear that GUE did have a problem with the kind of behavior that @Doc Harry describes. Here are a few of the questions (response on a scale of 1-5) from the mandatory QC form that GUE students have to fill out before getting their...

Aged like fine milk:

There is a strong contingent of GUE backmount tech divers on Vancouver Island. I took Fundies (and CCR-F) from Jason Cook, and did T1 with Guy Shockey. I would highly recommend both, and I know a lot of divers with similar experience who took Fundies with Jason and had a great experience. I...
