    Sold! Santi Flex190 undergarment

    The Flex190 is a great undergarment though! 5'10" height with ~31" inseam. Maybe not? Size chart is https://santionduty.com/files/740/santi_sizechart_undersuits_men.pdf

    Question Which brands make the best made to measure drysuit?

    There’s plenty of independent “mechanics” doing good work so there’s not much reason to need to send suits to the factory.

    Divesoft Solo Analyzer Will Not Turn Off

    Mine just had this issue. Travis got it fixed super quick (replace keypad and battery plus full "service"- firmware update, inspection, calibration. Well past warranty, I'd call it Shearwater level service.

    Mask on forehead=panic. Where did this mask signal originate?

    You want weird "distress" logic? In San Diego, if you deploy an SMB while shore diving without notifying lifeguards that you're going to, they'll come out and (apparently this has happened!?) try to drag you up by the line. Or yell at you afterward for shooting and SMB without prior notice...

    Which do you think is less dangerous at 160ft? Open-circuit air or CCR trimix?

    None of the people around you* (*you being anyone with audible alerts) wants to hear, on an other enjoyable dive: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP (depth alert) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (NDL low) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (no NDL) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. (low gas alert) BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

    Did Learning Rebreather Improve you SAC rate?

    No from CCR (stayed the same) but yes from cave training (significantly improved esp on cave dives).

    kidnapping risk in the Sulu Sea

    The State Dept warnings always seem very "throwing stones in a glass house". So quick to tell citizens the world is nothing but boogeymen out to get ya, I bet if they applied the same ranking logic to US states like they do abroad (e.g. Mexico is broken down state-by-state), there'd be a bunch...

    San Salvador

    We were there two weeks ago at RRI and had the pleasure of having Bruce as the captain on our boat as well as our tour guide around the island on the last afternoon. One of my favorite quotes from him, I commented that while there’s tons of fish there surprisingly wasn’t a lot of mollusks and...

    Tulum airport to Cozumel bag drag

    Last March I flew into TQO and bag didn't make my connecting flight; the airport was new enough that I couldn't get my bag back (even when it was apparently there) because there was no one at the airport to open wherever they keep bags*. So it had to be transported back up to CUN for one of the...

    Undergarments

    IME wool takes longer to develop BO/sweat smell, and when it does it doesn't retain it after a wash (compare to synthetics which can get a baseline perma-stench). I have SmartWool Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer (top and bottom) which are a bit $ but I think I end-of-season sale or Black...

    Decompression Habitat Anchors?

    I think I recall reading that pneumatic rotary hammers have been used for shallower (or however far your supply line can reach into a cave) anchors? If it's freshwater just bring nuts and cams, how badass would that be. Black Diamond can easily make a habitat from haulbag material, they should...

    UW Light Dude vs Light Monkey Primary for Cave Class

    Any UWLD fans who -don't- like them for smaller caves? I have one (an LD40) that is my primary primary for non-cave dives. I love it and do recommend it. But, I've started taking a H Flare EXP on cave trips, I don't even bother bringing the LD with me. I find that the beam, while great for...

    MODS: The Tale of a DUI Knockoff

    Dealer cut out of the issue resolution or lack thereof and I dealt with DUI in-person at their factory/HQ locally. Even if I’m the only person ever that they didn’t remedy the problem, that’s still less than 100% of the time. The only thing they stood behind for me was stubborn insistence of “so...

    Tulum airport - anyone used it?

    The only plus side is the road in is complete and quite scenic, and if you’re staying in Tulum it’s indeed easier than flying via Cancun
