Drives me crazy when trips get blown out - happens all too often here. Sometimes it makes you feel like you're being messed with when the weather is great all week, then turns to crap on the weekend. Or when the weather is great for most people (clear skies, sunny), but the wind makes it too...

Is it in rec mode?

I currently have 3 Apeks second stages, and the purge performance was poor on all of them - I have buddys who have complained the same. A couple of minutes to adjust the lever height sorted it though :)

My feeling is that people have changed from a computer they have dived for a long while and are comfortable with, and would like their shiny new Shearwater to behave in a similar manner. So not necessarily setting it to match someone else, but to match another computer (either a backup or their...

I'm going on my second liveaboard with Blue O2 to the Red Sea. Absolutely loved it last year, and the boat was top notch. Lots to see, and many different itineraries to choose from depending on your interests. Lots of wrecks, lots of reefs, or a mixture of both. I can't speak for other...

Presumably if the OP is using the reg in question to fill car tyres, there's no 2nd stage on there ;)

Looks fun, glad you enjoyed. Congrats on popping your wreck cheery! :)

At the end. Is the diver struggling to inflate the SMB because he has it upside down?

****. I'm doing this all wrong it seems. ;)

I guess a question that comes up is; When someone is more tolerant to cold, is it that they truly don't get cold as easily, or they are able to endure being colder than others?

Rebreather Dive Fatality - Truk This was the thread here. Paul Ring Post on Facebook here.

This incident happened quite a few months ago, and there was a thread here about it. I met Dave a few weeks before his trip, top guy. His brother has posted on Facebook in the past week with the coroners report. Unexplained death, probably medical event. No equipment problems.

I think shot would work if you're struggling?

I remember reading of a case not so long ago of some chap who had serious burns due to Oxygen reacting with a chemical-based suit heater. I believe that was chemical burns though. An obvious source of ignition in my mind would be static sparks from nylon-based under garments.

Good advice. Unfortunately, the outer zip closes top down, so no chance of having it protect the water tight zip during don/doff. I like the idea of keeping it closed during storage and handling though.

Nappy or a shepee valve are your options :) She Pee-Valve - JonasDive&Watch, S.L.

Back to the OP's question, where in the UK are you based? If you're anywhere near South Wales, I could recommend Karl Kruger at Bay Divers (Bay Divers - South Wales Swansea Cardiff Scuba Diving Club TDI PADI TEC) also.

You're spot on, that is exactly what has happened. It was obvious to me as soon as I compared it to another zip - both sides had completely torn away from the seal. I have glued it up, and quite happy with the results - going for a water test this weekend! I'm not entirely sure how this has...

I've done around 100 dives in it, had it a little over a year. Not even a droplet of water in until recently. Confusing!

I have done, and its definitely the culprit. Its not just a small leak - you can actually hear the gas escaping quite clearly :( I should probably mention - the speed at which the gas escapes (at least the sound it makes) changes when you manipulate the zip. Pushing it a little bit seems to...
