    Stage/Deco cylinder attachment on the Surface?

    OK, Stupid question time.... Hard boat diving in the UK, so Drysuit, steel cylinders, environment where complete kitting up "has" to be done on the boat. How (what process) do you good folk add a stage/deco cylinder? I'm ok with adding it in the water, but for UK boat diving, this often isn't...

    OOG Brief in Mixed Teams?

    I'm interested to know what or how you word your pre-dive brief for OOG drills when you're breathing from your short hose and your long hose is clipped off, to non-sidemount divers when you're diving in a mixed team? I'm happy with the procedure itself, but i keep running into the same...

    Difficulty Reaching Loop Bungee???

    I use an Xdeep Stealth with Loop Bungees. The loop bungees are held in place on my harness via a Triglide with small loop for the actual Loop bungee to pass through (as is standard).

    Which Reg to start the Dive Using?

    OK, this may be a stupid question.... but is there a particular regulator (Short hose, left, or long hose, right) that should always be the the regulator i start breathing from on a dive? (I understand this is perhaps specific to the hose config i use, which as described, is long hose right...

    Wing/Drysuit Hose length?

    I dive an Xdeep Stealth but until recently was using Apeks DS4 1st stages with standard length hoses for wing and Drysuit inflate. I've just bought DST 1st stages with 5th port so now need much shorter hoses. Looking at the Apeks SM regulator set, it comes with 20cm hoses for inflation, but...

    Kubi DryGloves on Neoprene Cuffs

    I'm thinking about buying the Kubi dryglove system, it always gets great reviews and is apparently suitable for both Latex and Neoprene cuffs, and a simple home install job too. However, the only video's i can find showing installation are for latex seals.....so to that end.... Does anyone...

    XDeep Stealth Help?

    Hello peoples.... I'm in the process of setting up my new XDeep Stealth 2 harness, and wondering if any of you XDeep divers can help me out with some advice. 1) I realise that exact tailoring will be individual to me and will need some adjustment when i first start test diving it, to get it...

    DS4 and/or FSR Hose Routing

    Hi, i'm just configuring my first set of Sidemount equipment.... Having just bought the Xdeep Stealth 2, i can't really afford to buy new 1st stages, so am having to adapt what i was using for my backmount twins (doubles), at least for the forseeable future anyway. Does anybody have a picture...
