    Santi Heated BZ400 + FE Artic one piece base?

    Hi, Did anyone try the combination of heated BZ400 + Fourth element Arctic as a base layer? I'm worried will the **heat** from the suit be lost instead of coming to my body? With regular merino base layer it comes great, but this is much thicker. I'm talking about extremely cold dives where...

    Paramina filter towers?

    Anyone have any experience? I'm looking into the 300 l/m one, which has 2x P21 size filters inside + MDU coalescing filter which should remove 99.5% oil and moisture by their words. But I'm not sure how good are they made, the quality of the product itself? I'm looking at them as a external...

    Filter housing size / amount of material vs compressor size?

    Hi, I'm buying an external filter for my compressor (additional filter, not the primary one) and I'm thinking which size I should get. My friend tells me that it only affects how fast filter material will need changing, not the quality of filtration. For example, I want to buy an external...
