Ask you instructor to help you perform a proper weight check at your next outing, you can even do this yourself but having a second person to help with removing weights in the water makes it easier. So what is a proper weight check? you should float at eye level with 500 psi of air in your...

Not trying to get into virtual shouting match with bubble, and we will probably never agree anyway, but my personal opinion is that he is off base. You are obviously a new diver and looking for recommendations on gear. I wouldn't expect you to have the experience to know when a regulator...

Is you Zeagle alternate balanced or unbalanced? The legend will increase it's IP/MP as you get deeper and without a balanced second hanging there you can override the spring pressure pretty quickly. Just a thought.

1) You will need whatever you buy serviced every year, buy something that has lifetime parts. You still have to pay for labor but parts can run 50+ depending on the regulator. Apeks, Aqualung, Scuba Pro, and many more all do this. 2) How cold of water will you be diving? If below 50f you...

I have been diving my local quarry (temps in the lower 40f below about 18 feet) for 3 years in a 7mm Henderson, doing 2 - 3 dives a day. I jumped in for the first time this season two weeks ago and came home and ordered a whites fusion tech dry-suit and two sets of underwear. Got the whole...

Personally I hate lead so I bought a <10 lb akona bag and just pack my steel back plate wherever I go. I can get my plate, my 5mm, and all accessories and only be around 36lbs. You do pay the extra bag fees but I prefer to dive the same gear all the time. If you are looking for light weight...

XS Scuba makes good pockets, Halcyon also has a set that has snaps instead of Velcro. Personally I have 2 sets (4 total pockets) but I always load the top set first. If you are just diving a single tank put them on the top band. If you are diving with a pony i would put them on the opposite...

The biggest problem you will have doing this is holding the first stage steady. The yoke and Din connections are torqued in there pretty good and depending on the last tech to service your equipment they could be really wrenched on there. There is also the age and condition of the filter and...

Note: I am a certified XTX50/100/200 technician and work/own these regs. This is the way I turn my own regulators and the way they act at the store after I adjust them to the apeks/aqualung specifications. I am not sure how much you were shown or know about the regulator so lets start...

I would not recommend buying anything online you haven't already tried on in the store, and even then support your local shop and they will be there when you really need them. There is a big difference (regardless of the thickness of the suit) in a 100$ off that bulk rack suit and a high end...

I can only give you my numbers, but it sure sounds like you are way over-weighted. I am 5'10" and about 190 lbs like you. When I dive a full 7mm suit, 7mm boots, 5mm gloves, and 3/5 hood in the local fresh water quarry I am heavy @ 12 lbs with a steel 120. That tank is heavy and will still be...

I just finished 2 dives today with the G1 5F gloves. 30 minute dives @ temps around 40f and my hands were fine. These gloves are easy to don and doff, and while the zipper was tough to pull on over my 7mm suit it did it's job. There is very little, if any, water movement in these gloves. I...

That is it, I was actually on that site before I posted but must have missed them. I have tried to contact that site before but never get any response, hope they ship better than they reply to email. Thanks for the quick response.

I have been to 2 local dive shops that both carry the uwatec sol/luna computers and neither can help me out. I am looking to buy a new case and plastic screen protector for my SOL. The zipper on the case has broken and the plastic screen is getting scratches (after almost 65 dives this is...

I don't think it's allergic as the spots appear only the seem lines. It's both the seem that runs to the front and to the top. The boots are cleaned after use, dried and then stored inside (the same for the rest of my gear). I had a pair of Henderson Gold 7mm boots that never game me this...

Not really sure how to describe the problem but it only occurs after multiple repeated dives over several days (just came back from key largo where 8 dive into a 16 dive week my feet were torn up). Basically it's like the inside lining of the boot is just rubbing my skin off...Starting at the...

I can't speak for the 7mm hyperstretch gloves but I own the 5mm h2 set....if you pay shipping I will send them to you. Don't get me wrong, they look good, they are easy to put on, easy to take off....butt....the damn material is so stretchy the seems leak. I was in 46 degree water and waved...

We like the suites of Key largo (key west inn). They are right in the marina. It's not the nicest place but they do have some benefits like kitchens, two bathrooms, upstairs room with bathroom, downstairs sofa makes into a bed and has it's own bathroom. Each unit has a screen porch that...
