Seems like a good price. I mostly deal with 3/2 and 7/14. Not too familiar with the prices for 5mm. Why a 5mm by the way?

Bare has basically 3 lines of wetsuits. The Sport, the Velocity and the Elastek. The sport being the entry level suit, the Velocity being the mid range one and the Elastek being the top range suit. Some options and colours like having a Tall or Short sized wetsuits are only available in the...

I just figured what you guys meant by roll off. Carry on.

By the way, the class kicked my ass. Damned doubles! At first my harness was too slack, so I kept turtle-ing. After fighting with my right for 15 minutes, we surfaced, tightened my shoulder straps and tried a second time. Once under, I was still struggling, this time because I kept going face...

What would be the tec perspective why this is bad? I can see your point about doning/doffing the gear. About confusion with the long hose, doesn't it already flow where the long hose loops? The long hose routes around your neck, so if it meets the back up reg's hose behind your neck or to...

We already discussed that this is my first bp/w, thanks for the concern anyways. The guy is a great instructor so this should be a good day

Absolutely, however, I like having at least a small clue when doing something new. Showing up with the gear properly set up or at least, damn close to what he's likely to have me set my gear like, and knowing why is part of that. For what it's worth, my instructor is both a TDI and IANTD...

That's how I set it up. I will probably get a shoter LPI hose than the one provided with my wing. I think I'll probably switch the hose on the other side on my secondary and not loop it behind my neck. Seems like it would put unneeded stress on the hose, and since the XTX regs are reversible, I...

Awesome pictures of a part of our national history I'm very proud of. Good luck identifying everything!

Thanks mpen, great link! Thanks craracer, very helpful. Same Andy, thanks. Looks like I might have to get a shorter PI hose, it loops a bit behind my head. Here's how I set it up. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures. Tomorrow I'm adjusting the back plate's height so I can reach the...

Thanks mpen, great link!

So I have a TDI Intro to Tech class on Monday and was just trying to set up my rig, making sure everything is in order before the class, since I have not dived with doubles or a BP/W before. I was just wondering on which post you guys put everything. So far, I have this: Right hand side...

I think your best bet is a station wagon, Like a Subaru Outback/Impreza or an audi A4 avant or something similar. You get the mileage of a car and the holding capacity closer to a van's

I bet it's this, compounded by the fact the diver was in shallow waters, where a change in depth of only 5' has the greatest impact on the air in your BC/wing.

Could be a panic attack, could be your heart, could be because you use the metric system. Could be a lot of things really. No reason not to get checked by the doc. If it was just a panic attack, it will probably subside, as you pointed out, when you get more experience in the water and...

Wow, I like those 3d images. Thanks for the link! Anyone else got anything to share?

Is it worth it? How technical is the dive? I hear it's got a bit of current? Edit: Doh, Has anyone*

Naw I think you did good. It probably reassured her which must have lowered her levels of fear. You never know what a new diver might do if he/she has their mind elsewhere worrying about stuff.

There were still plenty of the bastards when I visited Roatan in January
