    Continuous webbing vs adjustable harness for first BPW

    I dive a Sub Gravity aluminum BP/W for my travel BC. I love their adjustable harness it's clean, simple and no plastic parts. I won't trade it for anything else. Adjustable Harness System - SubGravity https://sub-gravity.com/product/paragon-single-tank-package/

    I dive a Sub Gravity Paragon single tank B/P&W that I really like. www.sub-gravity.com/product-paragon-single-tank-package/ But from the list you posted, I would go with the X Deep or the Mares.

    Question First Dive computer Suunto D5 or Garmin G1?

    I have been diving a Suunto Cobra for about 25 years. It has never failed me or locked me out in all that time and I am by no means a conservative diver. There is nothing wrong with Suunto dive computers or they would not have been in business for so many years.

    Iberostar & Dressel Divers

    Depending on the depth, my dives are usually around an hour. The public beach in the village of Bayahibe can get crowded with people & boats. Bayahibe beach just west of the village is fine. We stay at Dreams Dominicus which is just east of Bayahibe on Dominicus beach and it is not crowed and no...

    Diving in ABC islands.

    My wife is a non diver also. Curacao is the best option for a diver/non diver vacation. You will be very happy with the diving and there is a lot to see & do as well as good beaches for your girlfriend.

    Thoughts or Comments on the Magellan Mares HD

    Either is a good choice. I was considering the DGX but chose the Sub Gravity because I could buy it up here in Canada and I really liked their adjustable harness. The HOG 32lb wing has external bungee's that could be an entanglement hazard. The beauty of BP/W systems is you can mix & match...

    Travel BC owners, why?

    Both my setups are Sub Gravity Paragon single tank packages. For travel, I have a Sub Gravity 3mm aluminum BP, 26 lb wing, drop down small weight pockets and adjustable harness. For diving at home with a dry-suit & 108 LP single steel tanks, I have a 6mm stainless BP that weighs 10.1 lbs, 37 lb...

    Thoughts or Comments on the Magellan Mares HD

    Most of my gear is Mares but all of their BCD's including the Magellan's are big bulky BCD's. 40 lb's of lift is way to much for single tank diving, 30 lbs or less is all you need. I only use a 30 lb wing with my drysuit and 108 LP steel tanks. I would look at these options. Dive Rite Hydro Lite...

    Novice diver, tried Backplate and wing and looking for recommendations

    I would get a aluminum backplate for a travel set up and use weight pockets or a weight belt, it's always a good idea to have some ditch-able weight. I recommend the Sub Gravity Paragon single tank package. You get a choice of 5 backplates, 4 wing sizes, 2 harness styles, 3 weight pocket sizes...

    Trip Report Quick Trip Report-Curacao and Bonaire

    I have to disagree with your assessment of Curacao, you probably just didn't go to the right dive sites. We went last Oct and thought the diving was very good and plan on going back in the near future. I went to Bonaire for the first time 18 years ago and have no desire to return, it was the...

    Clearing Mask

    As usual, you are the one that has no clue what your talking about. Stop giving people misinformation.

    Clearing Mask

    Do not use Vaseline, it is petroleum based and will degrade the silicone skirt of your mask. Same with sunscreen, if it builds up on the mask skirt it will make it leak. My mask that I have been using for years started to leak last year in the Dominican. When I got home, I cleaned it with sop...

    Question Any one have a properly fitted mask in the store that leaks when in the water?

    If you break the seal on the mask, the water can enter the mask from anywhere.

    Question Any one have a properly fitted mask in the store that leaks when in the water?

    If you are a nose breather, it will break the seal of the mask. Make sure you are only breathing thru your mouth. We had this a fair bit when I was helping teach. Try putting silicone grease on your beard and mustache, I had to do that when I had facial hair. Don't use Vaseline as it's petroleum...
