    Cracked HOG Revolve Reel

    I'm disappointed to report my nearly new 150' HOG Revolve Reel has cracked in two spots. I only deployed it three times out of the ten dives it was carried on. I felt it break as I used it to tether a 3' Halcyon DSMB during deployment. Looks like HOG will consider accepting it as a warranty...

    I finally got my (2)212s/DC1 in the water for some ocean dives. I noticed a couple of issues: 1) Even with a slight current (1.5-2 knots) both my 2nds free-flowed.

    Thermo Pro Valve vs. 300 Bar DIN

    I've decided to invest in a pair of Worthington X7-100s distributed by Sea Pearls and ordered through my LDS. The tanks come equipped with Thermo Pro valves that are changeable between Yoke and 230 bar DIN. Will this valve allow growth into technical diving in the future, or should I change...
