    Question Experiences with Apeks XL4 Ocea vs Atomic Z3?

    I really like the Atomics. I find them easy to take apart and simple to service, with great quality / fit and finish. They breathe really nicely, and the 2nds are small and lightweight. The Z2 is hard to beat as far as value goes...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    for what it's worth, my 150s and 250s, and my wife's 150s and 250s, fit great. Not sure if it's luck or what, but they work well for us.

    Is it possible to downsize Apeks Tech Shorts?

    sell them for a profit, and re buy the Yonsub version online. they're identical to the Apeks, rebranded and significantly cheaper. I have two pairs here via aliexpress, and can confirm the only difference is the branding. You might even come out ahead, and not have to wear weirdly modified...

    Marking a BPW Harness for different setups?

    we dive all combinations of singles and doubles, wet and dry, local and vacation diving, and quickly realized it's a real PITA to keep readjusting harnesses. Especially since I was responsible for the gear for 2 divers, wearing a wide range of thermal protection. we eventually ended up with 3...

    Dry glove comparison

    they might possibly be the 495s. they're made to be used with liners, and are apparently more roomy to accommodate this. this allows you to size down and apparently results in less floppy fingers. the rep didn't have them available to try when I asked, but he agreed they might be a good choice.

    Dry glove comparison

    I've tried a bunch of different showa gloves via samples from the Showa sales rep for my area. I like the 720s best, and then the 660s next. they're both very suitable for my purpose.

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    I've yet to use the pee valve on my current suit (in 3 years) but still glad I got it done. My wife hasn't used hers, and due to the "female complications" will likely never use hers. With that said, we just ordered our second Novas, and again included the pee valves. It's just too cheap and...

    Is there a best day to fly into Curacao?

    thank God I can get direct flights just about anywhere from Toronto, which is only 45 mins from home. Seeing these trip/flight plans that some of you have to endure is mental.

    Fish Dives near Bruce Peninsula, Ontario

    while there is some shore diving in Tobermory, and the surrounding area, the real draw is the wrecks via boat diving. It's also not what I would consider particularly fishy.

    What is SSI's "Decompression Diver" course?

    I could see a course like this being of interest to someone like me. My local diving is Great Lakes diving, and I spend quite a few weekends during our season up in Tobermory. We dive more or less 2 weekends a month. The best sites there are between 100' and 150' deep, and fairly cold. Think...
