Sounds good. Apologies sorry about the slow reply. Ok. I'll send you a PM. ---------- Post Merged at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous Post was at 07:42 PM ---------- PM sent. Though I am not sure it was received. It did not appear in my "Sent" messages directory.

I don't think it's this deep. I haven't explored the entire quarry but I found most of it was around 8 meters at maximum. Maybe it's possible to find deeper places but I cannot go deeper than 8 meters when I'm practicing with my CCR without my instructor. According to Suomalaiset...

Hi, This is kind of short notice, but my usual buddies are off doing some repairs to their house this weekend. I'm looking for a buddy to meet up with and dive in Taivassalo quarry this weekend, or weekends in the future. I would go there to practice on my Sentinel CCR with the permission of...

I can't speak to your experiences with the wrist ZipSeals and I'll admit that they do work fine most of the time. However, I have had a few problems with the seals and pop-out (usually when I'm sliding back into a one-piece hogarthian-style harness.) Maybe I just have bad luck with the rings...

NJMike, I would caution you about DUIs ZipSeals. In my opinion they are okay, and the marketing looks great, but after using them in the field it just takes one knock and the dry-glove (or latex seal, whatever you've installed into the ring on the suit) will pop out. Now imagine this feeling...

Hi, Anyone happen to know the internal/external diameter of the Norprene tube used on the Halcyon P-valve? I ask because of the way I route the hose so that it's comfortable. I route from the installation point on the inner left thigh of my suit, around my leg, between my legs, and to a...

This dive computer has now been sold, thanks to the buyer and all those who sent offers. I'll leave the thread open in case the buyer wants to comment, but the sale went very well for both myself and the buyer.

Well I thought about that, but I already modified the fins by installing the Halcyon springs. Because the original pins are flared out, you have to use a metal file to remove the original brackets and install the new Halcyon ones.

I wasn't sure whether I should post this in this forum, Lost and Found, or the Do It Yourself forum (those guys might be good at coming up with some creative uses for half a set of fins and boots.) I recently lost some gear on a dive at Hanko, Finland. Mostly due to my own stupidity of diving...

I ordered "Dress for Success" and "Doing It Right: The Fundamentals of Better Diving" from GUE earlier today. :) I think they will be quite useful references, and definitely something I'll read before buying any equipment. Now I'll be constantly checking the tracking number. :)

Indeed, thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my question; very much appreciated. :)

Thanks Diver0001 and ianr33. I understand how it's done correctly now. Diver0001, you can take the A.R.T. course as an introductory course, but both myself and the instructor agreed that it would be best to get my own set of doubles and a bit of practice in the pool and open water first. Just to...

Okay, so here's a picture of the Halcyon BP. I assume you mean that a boltsnap goes through one of the lower left holes (near the tri-glide) then that attaches to the rigging when you buy a stage bottle rigging kit? Then the usual bungee cord (or whatever comes with the rigging kit) to a...

Hi, I'm considering making my entry into technical diving by purchasing a set of doubles and BP/W. I've spoken to an IANTD instructor about taking the Advanced Recreational Trimix course, and we both agree it's within my abilities but it would be a good idea to have my own set of doubles and...

I'd recommend that you give a BP/W (backplate and wing) BC a try. You generally get a better horizontal position than with a jacket style BCD. The only down side, or at least the main one I have experienced, is that the weight integration is quite limited. You only have two pockets, and if...

Hi, I'm wondering whether anyone in Finland is going to Hanko this weekend for the Project A.W.A.R.E clean-up dives (or other diving) and would have space for an extra diver (with equipment; I'll take the tanks from Hanko) in their car? We'll split the petrol cost. I'm also checking with...

If someone is interested, but wants to offer a lower price, I'm willing to consider offers (via PM please.) I have my sights set on a Halcyon BC. :)

I have been on a diving trip to Silfra from Finland with some divers from my local dive center. It was very nice, I got a chance to put my new DUI suit to the test (4 degrees Celsius water) and it performed very nicely. My face did get a bit cold after 30-something minutes, though. :p The...

Hi, I brought this dive computer while I was taking a long vacation in New Zealand. Unfortunately I did not have any chance to dive using this computer before I returned to Finland and replaced it with a Uwatec Galileo Sol, which has a much larger display for diving in Finland's waters. The...
