Its not really that important IMO as it depends on your paradigm of operation. I don't want electronics to think for me and I continually keep my mind involved to keep the CCR from killing me. I've bailed out plenty of times, if you have to think to bail out its too late.. bail out for a...

Bob.. waste of time? Hahaha... I understand your grief.. I constantly get people telling me to change to a better preforming fin... blah blah blah. I got marked down from my instructors because of my finning technique, but I don't Giv.A.Sh. here I am in one of the original hockey pair Bob...

Tribolube stays viscus without caking. The expensive part is the base oil and the white bit is the ptfe additive to keep the oil where you put it. Depends on what you are doing I guess... like threads on a scuba cylinder as its nice to have the additive keep the oil in the threads instead of...

I understand your pain as its rightly justified. Complain with email, phone calls as well as forums and I bet you get your certs quickly. Also, make sure you don't tip dive staff, boats etc as that should be included in the cost as well. Tipping dive staff is overrated and there is likely high...

because Shearwater is too awesome, the technical guys already have a few, and their customer service cant be beat.

With the pathfinder, "recreational" is a marketing term. Its not any more complex thatn an scr.. you still need bailout, plumbing.. and a brain to fly it.

Pathfinder man..and you'll still sling a 40 or 80 depending on whats available at location. The little pathfinder will do whatever you want and you will not outgrow it. On the pathfinder you really have no limits and you can easily drop down to whatever sane depth for a while and come back...

Ahh.. Dreamdive/Claudia.. thanks for that. That read like something Ebersole wold have written and it looked like it hinted around his PFO study but never came right out and mentioned such. The paper also mentioned that the headaches were correlated to the profile, but for the small shunt...

I'll keep saying it.. the zeagles keep going.. going...going. I've been using my same hp seat for 3 years in my FH7 beater and I just blew 200cuft+ through it cleaning my house, car, and garage last weekend full blast...the FH7 had a pretty snowy white patina, was ice cold, and kept going, and...

I had my 10yr old son certified in a BP & DR travel wing... just sayin. Also, had him on a flathead 7 1st with 2 Apeks XTX50's as I like the smoothness of the XTX over the Zeagle 2nd's. I love that flathead 7 1st stage. Just buy the right thing once.

Thanks for that; It reminds me of why I loved St.Croix so much. The water is not as clear, but its also unmolested which negates any issues I had.. I mean no cruse ships and all the BS of places like Cozumel and Cayman. You can truly relax there. The Pelagic's are not used to people so some...

gas switching computer don't beep and annoy you so much. Cochran is an exception to that rule

A single HP100 is a joy to dive, and comes with a 5200 burst disk. Fill it to 4200 and you have ~120cuft of air. If you side mount a pair it in a drysuit you likely need no weight. What I really want is a pair of the CarbonDive 300 6.8L doubles. I need to talk to my hydro guy next time I pick...

Back to my post... if you have less headaches with increased O2 its displacement or or your "normal" air source has higher CO2 which would lead me to investigate if the compressor used is eating oil, or drawing from a CO2/CO rich source. People get nitrox in 2 ways: partial pressure blend or or...

Attach stainless steel components to it.. it will wear the aluminum.. does it wear it yea, but not to an unusable state. It also becomes an anode... good/bad.. it depends on how you have it rigged.

Is it a side effect of something else? IMO (brainfart) its more a factor of CO2 retention and how physiology plays into gas equilibrium allowing you to more easily eliminate per breath as the % of O2 would cut down the potential CO2 partial pressure from straight air. No matter the O2 content...

An aluminum plate is disposable. If you want light try Tobins kydex hybrids. As soon as I wear out my aluminum plate I'll likely get tobin's hybrid and see how it does with heavy equipment and metal-metal abrasion. I've never dove Tobins wings, but I love the DR superfabric wings and have one of...

Hell yea, at one point Bob would make you anything. He even made me a pair of pro's in the hockey material which I bet he'll never make again, and I made a video of them bouncing 1ft+ off the floor when dropped.. amazing material. I'm still wanting a pair of red extra force in tan2. AND, if Bob...

Nomad can come with a dual bladder, and I've had to use it. Personally I like the nomad as it will let you do anything from OC, tech to rebreather hypoxic/expedition.. whatever. IMO continuous bungee sucks and when on boats, on ladders etc you need to have the cylinder secured. If you have the...

I'd swim away.
