I have a dry suit. I miss having the feeling of water on my body while diving AND dry suits are a pain with the extra undergarments. I do like getting on a boat and being dry if it's cold out. But I doubt I'll ever dive in ice and if I do I WILL use a dry suit. My wrists and ankles are...

I have seven(maybe more?) regulator sets of the most high end(read here MOST UNECESSARILY EXPENSIVE) regulators. I completely agree with ams511. Get a new HOG regulator and save yourself a lot of hassle and quite likely a lot of cash when you completely overhaul a used up old regulator. HOG...

N=1. Not a study. But whatever works!...the placebo effect is 30% of any medication. I did sit on fire coral when in Cozumel. I was wearing only a Speedo and helping a young beauty with her.....trim...IN THE WATER THAT IS....when we(I) hit bottom...more like my bottom hit the fire...

Ooooo...The Poseidon MOUTHpiece...more like "JET INTAKE/OUTPUT"....The second stage just has a huge orifice that is one of the hallmarks of Poseidon regulators. I have fit other mouthpieces on them but it is a labor of love. Some people have heated the mouthpiece to better mold it onto the...

Was it pretty much consensus this was a PFO?

Is the suit still "hanging around"? yuck, yuck.....I might be interested in it.

Why don't you just get a regular catheter and slide it IN your unit!? That's what a REAL hard core diver would do! Then no worries. Why oh Why does ANYONE use a condon catheter?! As a nurse, I can tell you that they are ALWAYS falling off. We put them on stroke, dementia patients....and they...

"Can't afford a drysuit"....how sad. In Canada you can't afford NOT to dive without a drysuit!! I HATE thick wetsuits....they lose a lot of insulation at depth. They let water in unless you have them incredibly tight at the wrist and neck. They greatly restrict movement in a (as I remember...

I have a problem with wetsuits. They don't fit. I have a 46" chest and I am 6 feet tall. I usually get an XXL suit. My suit now is a 3mm and I may get a 5mm, cause it's cold in Minnesota and I'm getting old. Regardless how tight the suit fits...and believe me even the XXL is tight in the...

Thanks Glub-glub. That does help. Its great news.

Ohhhh....that's a good catch!!! I agree. now, go put on your bikini and show us exactly how you'd do that...

Walkman. You are correct. No matter what, I have found my Poseidons to breathe BETTER at depth than in the shallows. I bet you feel like it just isn't delivering gas like it does at depth..almost a positive pressure-at least very low cracking pressure. I believe this is just inherent in the...

I think those two regulator choices are GOOD regulator choices. To make it EXCELLENT, I would add the HOG regulators. I dive these expensive Poseidon regs because I live in Minnesota and I like the side exhaust of bubbles. Michael Ranoine(sp?) used to service the regs for the US Navy. He...

I own these and in the order I like them: Poseidon Jetstream, Apeks TX50, Poseidon Cyklon 5000(paid $200 for an almost brand new SET!...I do LOVE the DIR regulator mandates!). I just bought a Poseidon Extreme but haven't tried it yet. my friends, who don't dive that much, or as much as I do...

The 190 is a very good regulator. I'd keep it.

still available? if so, do you think it would be possible for me to put a crotch strap on it? Thanks Mike

Purchase a backplate and wing(I'll have this engraved on my tombstone!) You wouldn't think that a flat piece of stainless steel against your back would be comfortable, but it's the best! Add a crotch strap and you've got a super stable diving platform. I've tried a lot of BCs and nothing...

I am looking at getting a spinal cord stimulator implanted to treat my constant leg pain. The manufacturers say you cannot dive to 33feet. Is this what others have found? I'm not so interested in testing it myself, but I will if I have to!!! Thanks Mike

Technology will advance and prices will retreat even as you go through training. We could talk for days on end about computers for the most experienced diver, let alone for you-there is just so much more to choose from when you're new. Get something simple-if anything at all-right now. Get...

LOL!!! I know your pain!
