    Has anyone successfully used a Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS nexGen in rough waters?

    The more I think about this the more I feel this isn't going to be very useful. It's 1W and uses VHF which is line of site. In perfect conditions they say rescue range is 34 miles. I have to assume this is a radius and means 17 miles each direction in perfect conditions which you will likely...

    Looked to secure my trauma shears but I don't think a tri-glide will work

    Switched to new shears and the 2" belt webbing is quite a bit larger than 2" as you can see so it won't stay on when kitting up to save it's life. So basically, I take it off and clip it off before/after each dive which is getting annoying. With it being so large, it'll slide right over a...

    PLB housing question and also opinion on them.

    I really think I want to get the ResQLink View. I think that peace of mind knowing what is going on w/o having to decode flashing LEDS in what would be a stressful situation is a worth the extra. I also like that it has no subscription but I also understand this does not give me the option of...

    HOG D1 vs D2 first stage rebuild kit question for you guys

    I'm attempting to stock up on service kits for my D1s. I am in a position to get a great deal on some D2 kits. I do have the second stage exploded diags for both and see all sealing items are the same in the D1/D2 second stages. I do NOT have a copy of the exploded diag. w/ the PNs for the D2...

    Does anyone know if the Trident A148 is interchangeable with the Sherwood ?

    I am trying to find some LP seats but I'm not paying $13+ shipping for each one. I see that coral sea scuba has these two and was wondering if anyone has tried them. This are for my HOG D1s and I know the A148 works w/ them. Thanks much, Dave

    Anyone know dimensions and were to source Hog D1 second stage viton orings?

    One of them is starting get get sticky and it's time to likely rebuild them all. $22 for 7 orings and an LP seat is a tough pill for me to swallow and I cannot see why I cannot just buy the orings. I even may have some but it's been a few years since I've had my second stages apart so I don't...

    AOW "elective" dives don't seem so elective.

    Basically the dive op said, we're doing this, this and this so read those sections. One is wreck which I have no interest in doing and one was S&R. In fairness they did say they'd work w/ us so I want to get opinions. I understand that logistics prevent certain types of elective dives in...

    Is this an acceptable way to thread a tribar?

    It's for my crotch strap rear D ring. In the pic I loosened it up to better see what i'm talking about but the D ring is between two pieces of webbing vs. being between the middle tribar and the webbing. Is the SOP to require that the dring be mounted in a way that it pulls into the tribar vs...

    Long shot. Anyone know where to get DSS wing locator rubber nipples?

    I know I don't need them and I've only had one for many years but now I really want to get them. I also know there are many other alternate ways to secure them and that's not what I want to do. Googling rubber nipples didn't help me any. Closest thing I could find was CPU fan isolating...

    Question for those using a petrel/perdix. Mode and nitrox % quickly

    So I have not used this computer is a good 5 years and I recently update the firmware to the latest version. Lots of neat new stuff. I like the OC tech mode and the ability to configure the center row extensively. The one thing I do NOT like about is that I have to pre-define gasses. So when...

    DSS Backplate waist strap location seems low

    I've got about 100 dives on this kit and I love it. However, I'm getting old, eating too much and not getting to the gym like I need to so I need to re-harness my BP. I just didn't leave enough excess for fat me to comfortably dive in this. In checking out my current setup before switching...

    Can you change unit of measure on the sub surface webview?

    Hey Dirk, I cannot seem to figure out how to change to imperial on webview. Perhaps I cannot? I have changed it in the windows and android app w/o issue. Thanks, Dave

    Looking to get DAN annual travel insurance (Voyager), have coverage questions

    I read through the entire description of coverages docs and still had questions. Called the DAN rep who asked me to call someone else. Unfortunately, all that person did was read off what I had already read and didn't answer my specific questions. In looking at covered events I see no mention...

    Diving on the Spirit of Freedom in March 2026, few questions for you guys (Other suggetions?)

    We are going to do a 5 day w/ them as their reviews are pretty good here. For those of you who dove w/ them, did they provide a group guide? I see pro dive does not (You can pay for one) and I would like the expertise of a local to show us what we likely would miss. Aside from this, we are...

    HOG D1 cold water kit question

    I had an issue getting the cold water cap off and ended up having to drill a new pin hole for the spanner on one of my regs (Frozen on due to quite a bit of corrosion). With that said, I ended up going a hair too deep and drilling through the environmental cap in a spot (Did not damage...

    Analox CO sensor testing question

    I have an analox EII CO tester that I got in 2013. The sensor is dated from 2012. I know the lifespan of the sensor is 5 years. I know I cannot get my particular type of sensor anymore (Has 3 male pins, not a JST plug). The manual says in lieu of bump gas I can hold my breathe and breathe...

    Hog D1 service questions, latest service manual revision, etc.

    Hey guys, due to COVID I hung up the regulators for a while but am going to get back into things soon (heading to dive in Australia in a few months). I need to go through my D1 HOG first/second stages and more than likely rebuild them if/when I don't like test results, I see. With that said...

    Cuba trip cancelled for Oct. considering Belize, is one location better than another?

    I've been looking at reviews and opinions but I'd like to get an answer from those I feel I can trust. We are mostly going to be diving and night life doesn't matter to us. We may use airbnb and rent a car or we may just cab it. See opinions range from Ambergris Caye to Glovers reef to the...

    Friendly PSA, if considering scuba max items, refrain!

    I had purchased a pair of shears from them which had excessive oxidization the first week I used them. I rinsed them daily and after 4 days this is how they looked. This was still while I was on my liveaboard. I deemed this unacceptable so i contacted Scubamax. They advised they could do...

    Help me ID these tanks?

    So they say they are 12L tanks but I'm unsure based on markings (S080). Based on the bar listing (207) I'm prone to believing it but they look like AL80s to me. Trying to figure it out for my SAC. They are Luxfer tanks. Thanks much guys, Dave
