Less an issue w the Nautec, but the flexible Lola ones leak He.
Lola actually sells a fixed center crossbar for their valves, thereby eliminating the leaking issue. LOLA spojka ventilů 200Bar - 171mm | DIR-SHOP diving systems but would have to ensure it fits your bands.
I like the idea and...
You’re diving HP100s in a wetsuit. Your trim is going to be **** as they’re the incorrect cylinders for that exposure protection and will be exacerbated when you add a pound of negative buoyancy at the furthest point from your center of gravity.
The F1 is significantly negative in the water...
Wetsuit? Drysuit?
Total lead?
Cylinder type?
Harness type?
Can start w the above questions and maybe there are solutions, but they're not great SM fins.
For those that haven't used them, 7L 300B are about as negative full as a PST LP104 of nitrox.
I'm guessing some combination of the following:
Bungees not thick enough for this application
Valves don't have a manifold post (or the bungee isn't being wrapped around it properly)
@Scuba fryd is...
Let’s skip this silly part given the user and his post history and acknowledge the density of homebrewers and gear modifiers is decent in the US and significantly higher in Europe. There are unfortunately types of bottles only available or imported in some regions. Perhaps this has solved Agro’s...
Is warm. Is good value. Don't store it compressed and make sure your suit fits such that the undersuit can loft.
Your comfort with its warmth will vary a lot depending on duration and activity level. If you carry lots of adipose tissue, you'll likely be super warm. If you're rail thin, this is...
The vest that you picked will determine comparability. If it’s in suit, you’re likely SOL. You can try to cheap into a set of gloves and socks via places like SmartTex or DIY, but you’re not getting around a suit through port, the physical gloves and socks themselves, and a 10Ah or larger...
Kind of wish there were more “current school” competent cave DPV instructors in Florida.
Alas, public sites where they are divable are largely Ginnie, LR, Manatee and then the Millpond in Marianna. Your first days of Cave DPV will be in open water regardless. I’d skip to the cave course unless...
Your neck likely won’t appreciate this very much. Obviously a slew of possible outcomes, but what harness is it such that you can add lead there (if that ends up being the optimal solution)?
Yes.
And also yes, you have a lot of troubleshooting worth doing before trying to modify the unit via TecMe. I would guess that removing the scrim from your exhale scrubber will drastically change your perception of how much water there is in the unit.
Hazard a guess, but I bet if you only use one on the top of the scrubber you're inhaling from, most of your problem goes away. This isn't to rule out the guesses of the other posters, but more than one of those scrims is excessive. Was this what was taught in your course?
Also, your Gemini does...
