For focus light the 1200's are wayyyy overkill. Even the 600 the low red setting is the highest you'll probably ever have to use. And I'd say it's far from gimmick. The 600 as a dive light isn't very good as it only has a flood setting, no spot beam. For video the 1200's are incredible. The...

I wasn't comparing passing a tank to donating a long hose. I was simply stating that at some point after donating the hose, exiting the overhead environment back into the blue (also meaning once things have settled down) I MIGHT pass the tank off to the person that's currently breathing from...

I'm pretty sure a diver donning tanks on the side of a boat is going to a bit more calm than someone that just went OOG in a restriction, some distance inside a cave or wreck, got water in their nose (coughing), and needs to exit completely silted out. Any OOG is a stressful situation. We run...

Yes they do. Two of the divers are from Finland. They met my friend Elias while taking a course with SteveB in Malta. They came down just to dive the Zenobia. They normally dive with drysuits and steel tanks. When purchasing a sidemount kit travel was important to me. Thing thing back down...

The other week here in Cyprus we managed to get 4 sidemounters all on Razors together for a dive on our local wreck the Zenobia. I'm a photographer, not a videographer but I'm starting to learn (long way to go) and this was my first edit attempt at a video edit. Enjoy Four Razors on the...

Assuming you're asking me. Yes...a full 7 foot hoses. Not needed to be that long....just happen to be what I had sitting around and even at that length they are completely out of the way. A shorter "long hose" would work fine as well.

You'll be fine. People dive side heavy (BM or SM) all the time. If you can't trim out, some weight on the light side will fix your issue. I'm assuming this is for open water diving?

Congrats on the new purchase. I think it'll keep you happy...for now ;-)

I've experimented with two long hoses and it's worked out quite well. Left behind neck and clipped off when not in use, right straight up with a 70 degree bend (like them better than the 90's). My reason for this wasn't due to gas management but due to reg deployment. My primary dive buddy...

Have you seen these? http://www.diverightinscuba.com/catalog/snapper-1080p-video-camera-p-2741.html Also, just cause the obvious quesiton must be asked...what sort of problems have you had with the GoPro? I just ordered a tray and lights to go with mine as I've had nothing but good luck...

I've had no issue with two loops on the back of my neck. Just remember to put them on in the right order. Short (bungeed) first then long. You'll know they are wrong when you do your long hose drill.

My D2000 arrived last week. Paired it with my G11/FIX housing. No magnet, Av, and the strobe simply works. No fuss. Have done about a dozen dives with it. Open water and pitch black wreck penetration.

Looks like I have no choice but to buy the second one off of you

Spent the past week doing solo dives on our local Zenobia. Two days worth of exploring the engine room with my new camera (never really had good shots prior as I never had a strobe). Sebastian-- Sebstandard Photography's Photos | SmugMug

Either kit will do you fine and pick whichever you like better. Of course the best option is to try both before buying but we know the reality is that isn't always possible. I personally own the Razor2 and love it. The JT looks like a fine piece of kit. I dive with AL80's in a 1.5mm suit and...

Try and see what works for you. My jump into sidemount started a few weeks ago....two pool sessions to make sure I was comfy with the rig as a start and then daily diving and fine tuning. Some changes sometimes during a surface interval. Find what suits you and your diving. I won't go as far...

I think there is some confusion in this discussion between identifying ones tanks as their own in low/no vis vrs swapping gasses/tanks in low no/vis. No matter how sure I am that this tank is mine, I won't swap gasses unless A. I'm out of gas elsewhere and am about to die B. I visually see that...

The failure of any system is just that....a failure. My regs are labeled as I'm labeling my tanks...every morning...same thing. If something goes wrong with my reg set for example and a different set of regs have to go on there....I put a new piece of tape on the new regs and write MOD on it...

This is no different than someone labeling the tanks incorrectly, forgetting to charge batteries, not making sure you have everything. When you fail to do something correctly in pre-dive, expect to fail during the dive. The only reg I have different is my 100% bottle...mainly because it's less...

I don't disagree...and of course all these things vary depending on what style diving one does. However how often is someone generally switching gasses/bottles silted out? I understand it happens...but even if it happens 20% of the time, that still leave 80% where labels can help.
