    XT2 second stage regulator rentention ring

    I’ve been diving the Diverite XT2 second stage for a little while now and they’ve worked great but when cleaning it I’ve always found this retention ring in front of the diaphragm quite difficult to remove. Is this rentention ring necessary? Would the regulator be safe to dive without it...

    Why so little hype for the Canon EOS M5? It seems pretty good

    I'm wondering why there seems to be so little hype for the Canon's new mirrorless the EOS M5. The specs look pretty good. I got confirmation from Nauticam that they have created a housing for the M5 and it is shipping. Sales and reviews for the M5 seem good topside. This camera has the same...

    What were Monterey conditions like 10-15 years ago?

    Does anyone here know what normal Monterey/Carmel conditions were like 10-15 years ago? The reason I bring it up is because at a recent reef check event it was mentioned that the stormy conditions of the last year and a half might actually be the norm, where as the lull of the 4-5 years...

    For Sale Ikelite Housing for Canon S95

    I am selling a barely used Ikelite housing for the Canon S95. It is in excellent condition as it has only ever been on 2 dives. On those two dives it was well maintained and looked after. Of the 2 dives, the last dive was in July 2016 and it was fine, did not flood. The O-ring is fine and it...

    So what makes a housing rated to 200 feet vs 130 feet?

    Does anyone know which ports are compatible with the Sony 16mm+Sony VCL-ECF2 Fisheye Converter for the Recsea a6000 housing? What about Nauticam? I'm looking to get a housing but want to make sure this lens will work. I prefer the Recsea. I'm also quite new to photography.

    Hollis TX1 Change Gradient Factors on the fly?

    Does the Hollis TX1 allow you to change gradient factors during the dive? For example I started the dive with 20/85 but would like to switch to 20/70 in the middle of the dive. Will the computer allow this and recalculate my deco schedule?

    I've never been to Cozumel before and have heard positive things about both Aldora Divers and Scuba Club Cozumel. Could anyone that is familiar with these places tell me about them? Location, safety, diving, tanks, nitrox availability, quality of the guides, quality of the boats, dive...

    Brand new HOG regulator free flowing, not getting much support

    My brand new HOG regulator free flows. It breaths great, but the free flow is unacceptable. I haven't been successful in getting support from HOG. I was told the 2nd stage was tuned to the first stage but... if that's the case I think someone screwed up. Any ideas on what the problem is and...

    how can you tell if two tanks can be doubled?

    Not all tanks are created equal, not even those from the same manufacturer, so how can you tell which tanks can be doubled and which ones cannot? I'd like to be able to double up some 100s, but they were not bought at the same time.

I'd like to get a donut wing like the Light Monkey 45 lbs doubles wing or the Halcyon 40 lbs evolve wing. I'm wondering if 40 lbs is enough lift for double steel tanks and a steel backplate...

    Zeagle Ranger Medium with Yellow Pouches

    I have a used medium Zeagle Ranger for sale. It's still in very good condition. I took it out for a test dive a little over a month ago to make sure it works before I sell it but prior to that I had not used it in over a year. The BCD still worked flawlessly; it holds air, inflates and dumps...
