I know Bare uses a plastic zipper on some, (maybe all), of their drysuits, and I hear tell that in 2013, DUI is going to a plastic zipper. I'm not sure what to think about this. I mean, I know the alleged advantages; not metal, so it will not corrode in seawater, less likely to stick/jam, etc...

Right now, I'm using G250s for both my primary and backup on my doubles and singles setups. Thinking of changing over to something "lower performance and unbalanced", like in the older literature, maybe a 395, or something similar, then using the 250s on other sets. I figure: The G250 takes...

I just picked up an NIB Stealth Eclipse, and when I got it, the guy showed me how it has "handed" cam-straps. One closes left to right, and one right-to-left. Said the idea was that the weight of the SS buckle would be balanced from side-to-side. Makes sense, I guess. Just wondering if...

Swampers: I work at the Dive Shop in San Marcos. I'm still reeling, and still inventorying, but it appears we were robbed last night. Might be wrong, but it looks bad right now. A ton of missing stuff was personal gear of staff, but for an initial list: Be on the lookout for anyone selling...

200-bar, 300-bar, don't care. In need of a rebuild, not an issue. More interested in single valves, but want at least two manifolds. Maybe say, 3-6 single valves. Thermos are just too tall/heavy and I'm sick of it. If there is an alternative to the now out-of-production Halcyon valves...

I currently own a TLS350 and am very happy with it. Within the next year or so, I am planning on getting a second suit and have decided on a Signature FLX Extreme. I would be keeping the TLS as a travel suit. Anyhow, I am also helping a friend configure his first drysuit order. He is getting...

Is Scubapro looking into OLED technology for their computers/timers? I dive a Tec2G and absolutely LOVE it. Great piece of kit. However, I would love it more if it had an OLED display. I personally would love to see a Tec2G, (I guess just the "2G" now), exactly as it is; same functionality...

I'm leaving for a trip to the Exuma sound on the Aquacat next week. Their website says the water is 72-74* and there is 5 dives a day. It's a weeklong trip. I'm not a cold-water wuss, but I like to be comfortable. 72-74 is drysuit water to me, especially for repeated or long exposures...

A few years old. Used as a recreational BC. 44lb horseshoe wing, integrated weights, twin cam bands, and cam band weight pockets. For the last few years it has only been used by an instructor for pool training. Rinsed thoroughly after each use. Inflator sticks a little sometimes, (but...

I have a Cyklon package that I am selling. Cyklon 5000 first stage, along with two Cyklon 300 second stages, (single tank setup). Standard hose lengths, 70cm and 90cm (28" and 36"), and the octo has the green "Nitrox" hockey puck for higher visibility. Needs to be serviced, and the octo...

DA Aquamaster and others: I don't have my parts book in front of me right now, but I have a question. I just came into a couple of Mk15s in good shape, (aside from needing a full service and overhaul) but one is missing the piston spring. Is the piston the same as the Mk25, (IE, I could just...

Not sure if this should go in "Basic", but I figure here I can hear from both the instructors/DMs as well as the "student side". My brother is coming back to the US in a few weeks after his Army commitment is up and wants me to teach him to dive, (I'm an instructor, so it would be legit). I...

M25x2 neck threads and G5/8" 300-bar hookup required. Thanks in advance.

I'm selling my whole stable of Poseidon regulators. All are in excellent to like-new shape, and breathe fantastic. I'm only selling because I have decided to go the "DIR" route, (let's not have that battle here), and Poseidons are not authorized for use. They are amazing breathers and have...

I am noticing the site is now loading slow as molasses whenever I refresh, click a thread, click a subforum, post or what-have-you. Is there something going on? It's WAAAY laggier and slower than it used to be.

I'm heading on a trip, (fingers crossed), to Fiji in early June. Beqa Lagoon to be exact. I have never been there and am wondering what would be the recommended thermal protection. I dive dry pretty well exclusively, and haven't dove wet in over a year, so I'm wondering what would be...

To layer or not to layer... I have a DUI TLS-350 suit and LOVE IT. It was a wedding present from the wife, and came with all the bells and whistles, underwear, etc. A complete package. As far as underwear, I have the Stretchliner 100, which works for most summer and fall diving here in TX...

I am in the process of changing over my regulators to ones that are GUE-compliant. I work in a shop that sells Scubapro, (and only Scubapro), so I'm going that route. I'm also a Scubapro tech, so that helps. For logistics, I would like to standardize my kit to all identical 1sts and 2nds, but...

Hey all, I'm starting to get into the vintage diving scene, and a month or so ago I was given a old Voit 50 Fathom reg that was in rough shape. The hoses were rotted away, but the regulator box was all there and the blue metalflake paint was even in decent shape. Well, a few internal parts...

Hello all. New to the forum, but wanted to share that I am a recent Fundies graduate, and well, you’ve assimilated another one. I apologize in advance for the length, but I’ll try and be brief. I won’t bore you with the entire class report, (though I will answer any...
