I have the same problem as you. There is a tendency to go "belly up". I just need to tilt my shoulder either left or right and my whole body will roll. If I don't stop myself, i will be facing up towards the surface. Not sure what's the cause. I'm using 2 XsScuba weight pockets on the lower...

Used the ET for 14 dives already over Christmas and New Year. Love it ! The good points as mentioned over and over again by people : streamline, light, easy to don and remove, affordable price, other diver keep asking about it, quick dry. The problem of course is riding up in the water, a...

Hi, Snow and -7C eh.... I am forever thankful I live in Malaysia, sun all year round ! I can't use weight belt as it would mess with the crotch strap. I sort of solved the problem by keeping the crotch strap really tight instead of the DIR recommendation of a bit slack ie can place your hand...

Merry Christmas to everybody ! Anybody diving during Christmas ? I'm at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia diving the last 2 days and will be diving again today on Christmas Day :) First time using the recently bought ET. Having a few issues thought I'll just add it here for future...

I think I'll probably give up on ever being able to go diving with full gear without checking in. Most budget carriers in South East Asia have a 7kg (15.4lbs) carry on limit. So seems like Mission Impossible. Just say a hypothetical list of the lightest gear available in the market now: 1...

I'm anti iphone though and a big fan of android, using htc desire ;)

Can anybody suggest how to mark / write my name on the ET ? To prevent it getting mix up or for easy identification. Sharpie marker pen ? Stitch ? Paint ? On a similar note, do you all mark your regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins ?

Anybody uses this before ? How good are they? EZ Travel Finz - Masks-Fins-Snorkels - Zeagle Dive Systems Was browsing a LDS having their year end sale and saw this fin. Really light and flat. Weird design, but seems sensible. The fin itself seems very hard compare to the mares xstream. Wonder...

When exactly will you be here ? I will be away in Kota Kinabalu diving next week. Do pm me.

Orenbvip, thank you so much for sharing the photos. Surprisingly from the photos the osprey porter looks small, but the ET managed to go in. As the ET is about as long as a normal size fins, my mares xstream should go in right ? What is the last item on top? The one with the mares logo. Is...

orenbvip, was wondering if you could take photo of your gear in the osprey porter ? I am considering buying this rucksack but hard to judge from photos in their online store. Would be great if can have some photos of it with diving gear for better estimate. Don't have this brand of bags in my...

Given more thought into this issue, I think there are a few considerations, and often time some of these consideration are conflicting. 1. Weight 2. "Packability" ie size / shape 3. Safety and comfort There are times when the gear is light but the shape might be weird and thus difficult to...

Continuing my quest for no check in luggage, I stumble upon Divecaddy. Anybody have any experience with this ? DiveCaddy - Home Worth the investment ?

Thanks for your tips ! I really like the way you pack your stuff. I'm using a 50x30x20cm carry on bag, made of some soft material (nylon?). I place my fins left and right side of the bag. The zeagle express tech on the bottom. Wrap the wetsuit around the regulator and put on top of the BCD...

As I am from Malaysia, I do travel with AirAsia a lot. And so far, like you say, they don't weigh your carry on bags unless it looks oversize and awkward. So far, the only airport that really really weigh your carry on is Melbourne Airport. They are really strict, don't even allow just a little...

In a sense I agree with you. But the issue here is traveling light. I used to travel with lots of things, and always wonder how my friends can travel with so little (non diving trips). Then 2 months back, on a diving trip to Pulau Weh, Acheh, I tried with just a backpack. Clothes, toiletries...

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I won't say the baggage fees is a big big issue but if i can travel without check in, so much the better. The titan lx will be with a miflex hose. And for SPG, planning to get the highland mini tech gauge with miflex as well. Looks like I will have...

Great suggestions ! I'll probably be filling my pants and jacket pockets with camera and maybe batteries for torchlight. So far laptop bag pack with clothes haven't been stopped by airport. Is there a lighter BP/Wing then zeagle express tech ? I will probably remove 2 D-rings, but need 2 for...

Am on a mission to try to fit all the necessities for a scuba diving trip in the tropics (I am from Malaysia, and diving around South East Asia region) within the 7kg limit for cabin bags. I hate waiting for luggage at the carousel and budget airlines charge for check in luggage. So far, it...

Thanks NetDoc and Herman ! I tried it and it does work. I think will be an easy way to vent air. Great to learn a new thing. By the way, is this remote exhaust valve only available on zeagle BC ? or is this a standard feature on all BCDs ? Strange no instructor or divemaster even mention this...
