I watched all the videos and went to Florida to get the physical course and would say Steve has the best videos I have seen. When I returned I did a ton of pool dives to get that donning and doffing fluid. And after any lull in diving I will do some dry drills like he shows on the table.
I went through the Steve Martin sidemounting.com course before I went out with one of his instructors for the actual training. We didn't do boat entries at that time but I have since done them and he had a video about them where he did advocate the clips as others have described. He did...
Got mine back from repair about 4 months ago. Warranty service. Charged it but didn't dive due to covid since. Wore it or sat on dresser for 3 months before I had to charge it again.
I decided to go sidemount and shopped around for ideas and landed on sidemounting.com from many recommendations. I looked at numerous free videos and liked what I saw.
I contacted one of his instructors in Florida. I had the option to use his gear or buy and bring. So you might be able to...
After I did my sidemount course my thumbs were all messed up and so I just took a nail file to all the edges that my thumb came into contact with and have not had the same issue since in any other diving I've done. Just sat there watching TV with a a bunch of snaps in my lap and rounded off...
I have a couple years sidemount under my belt but not a lot of dives. I have had my cavern course and my next goal is to start extended range. COVID-19 aint helping any.
When I go diving with most of my old dive buddies, they are still single tank back mounters. I like to dive with them...
I had a New Zealand trip for business scheduled for this month that was obviously cancelled due to COVID-19. I have to use up the AirNewZealand travel credits by Dec 31 of this year and I am looking at mid September. With current prices being so low, I can go to New Zealand for the 2 weeks of...
I bought the Teric within weeks of it being deployed and with a couple months I couldn't get a full charge. I bought a second and then a third Shearwater cradle. Same thing. I reported it and they cross-shipped a replacement immediately.
Probably six months later and the same thing. I...
In 1979, during the filming of Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back, Mark Hamil is seen breathing off this. I am sure it was 'dressed up' with additions, but thought maybe with all this groups experience with vintage gear and collecting over the years someone might recognize what the core/base...
When I ordered the S2.0 Classic I do not recall any option but the single bladder. Maybe I am wrong or it was just where I ordered it. That was nearly 3 years ago.
I have been using stealth 2 for two years, mainly fresh water and cold lakes. When I go deep I was using a 7mm with a 7mm shorter over that so a ton of neoprene and the 4 pockets held sufficient weight. I am 5'6, 145lbs. Even then I only used 10lbs so could get another 10 or more in the spine...
I am using XDeep Stealth Classic 2.0 with Apeks reg sets.
I trained via sidemounting.com – Online video training courses for Scuba Divers then did the physical training in Florida with one of their instructors. The majority of my dives are lakes, and standard open water. I took the cavern...
Day after I shipped mine the new Teric showed up. Had no idea they were cross-shipping. Very pleased.
Tad confused as the firmware shows v12 and the web site shows v11 as the newest. Wondering when the changelog will come out.
My last dive with my Teric was April 22.
Back home in KC yesterday May 09 I was driving around and it logged a dive while driving to 17ft for 50 minutes. I obviously didn't hear the beeps.
Today I took it off the charger and it was only at 85% and had been on it close to 20 hours.
Today May...
