I love my Kubi dry glove rings, but have had the suit material wear through twice (2 different suits) where the hard edge of the suit side ring goes under the suit material.
The first one I fixed with a fabric tape aquasealed circumferentially around the wear area. The second suit I...
I'm trying to source this part for something reasonable. Also has anyone ever replaced the seat into the carrier? If so, how? I think this is a Trident part A208-T2, but I have no direct access to Trident parts.
Thanks.
I've been getting cold enough lately that I'm shortening my dives and want to feel warm again.
I dive dry, with thin mountaineering baselayers, 4th Element Arctic (one piece or two - I own both), and then a no name vest. It hasn't helped that I've been playing Whack-a-Hole with minor leaks in...
I'm planning a 7-10 day stretch of diving in the greater Cabo area sometime in early/late spring 2023. I would like to do a mix of guided and un-guided diving. I'll probably bring my 12' 20HP dive boat for the un-guided diving. The only 'gear' I will need is breathing gas fills (air or banked...
Just as Covid hit in 2020 my husband and I were planning a flying trip to Cabo San Lucas and area for diving. Coming up on 3 years later we want to do the trip, but this time drive the length of Baja. I would want to bring our 12' (max 3 person and gear) dive boat for flexibility reasons. My...
Is there a way in the USA, specifically California, to verify that a boat operator (company) and the boat 'captain/master' is currently certified. I have the boat operator and captain's name and location. I've scoured the web and haven't found a way yet. This has to be public knowledge...
I have a GoPro Hero7 Black with the flip filter system from Backscatter. I haven't used it in a while and was setting it up for an upcoming trip to the Channel Islands (So. California). It is only designed to have one filter in position at a time, but I didn't want the second filter sticking...
I'm posting this in the Basic forum since it applies to all divers, and needs to be understandable to all divers. If it is better in the Medicine section, then it can get moved.
The current diver's medical form - or more precisely - the physician sign off, isn't worth the paper it is signed...
In retrospect we all made some suspect decisions on this mostly uneventful dive. It all comes down to communications – or in this case, lack thereof. I'm sharing not to get chastised – I know the errors, or for advice. Again, I have a pretty good idea on that also. I'm sharing for awareness.
We...
I am super frustrated. I bought - and love - my Mares Quad - but sometimes it will download data to the laptop and most of the time it won't.
I have the Bluetooth clip, and that only works for the very simple and essentially useless phone app with SSI
I have the USB clip and that used to...
First, my background. I am a Tech rated and Divemaster rated diver with over 600 dives, mostly in cold CA waters. I have worked for many years as an emergency paramedic (6), airline captain (12), and now urgent care physician assistant (18). During that time I have earned an Aviation Safety...
Anyone glue in the Kubi cuff side rings? I'm installing a pair into my trilam suit and interested in what glue you used.
I used AquaSeal for my SiTech PU rings and it worked well. I'm tempted to do the same with the Kubi rings.
Thanks
I have a REALLY hard to pin down drysuit leak that has gotten to the point that the suit is unusable. I have done just about everything I can think of to track down and fix the problem, but am getting frustrated at my lack of success.
It is a well fitting DUI TLS womens large suit with SiTech...

Haven't posted here in a while, but that doesn't mean I have stopped creating. Actually it means I have been doing a LOT of creating.
I'll post more info when I get home and have a chance, but projects done or in progress are:
DIY DiveRite QRM clone with plans. First version video is here...
I am currently using 2 computers in my OW rec depth dives. My primary is a fully unlocked DiveRite Nitex Q with standard settings and my back-up is a Vyper (nitrox) on standard conservatism. The Nitex is MUCH more conservative than the Vyper, but until my last dive it wasn't apparent how...
