Having done a pile of night diving I have to say nothing attracts attention more then lights flashing under the water or at the shoreline in the dark ;-) Almost every dive I've done at night has had someone standing at the dock wondering WTF was going on under the water when I came back up.
You replaced the valve and elbow because you used a different bladder instead of approaching the OEM and attempting to resolve the issue.
How many time's have we heard this anecdotal evidence... my buddy from Utah had a sister whos boyfriend had a BC that predated Jaque Cousteau and it worked...
Here's the algorithm you should follow for group sizes when diving:
Let N = the number of divers present
If N%2 = 0 then maximum group size = 2 divers to a group
If N%2 != 0 then 1 group of 3 divers is permitted if and only if they are the most experienced/competent divers present
Anything...
Should be relatively easy to get a new one from your LDS clear warranty issue. If they don't give satisfaction contact HOG directly as they have excellent customer service.
I only wish Canadian resellers would take such a stand against the bulk of the distributors in this country. Distributors are nothing but middle men who are supposed to facilitate the resale of OEM product lines not inhibit it.
I'm amazed the amount of time and effort that is put into what is essentially a niche field of diving. I realize that cave diving is the paramount of dive training due to the incredible risks involved, but when I see essentially open water students swearing that they will dive side mount and...
Kenny,
I think you're getting the ability to have 3 separate gas mixes (Nitrogen and Oxygen) programmed confused with having a trimix functionality (Helium Oxygen and nitrogen).
Really??? What is so different about Tec mode that would preclude the availability of the buddy check features? Point of fact that would be when I would be most likely to use that feature.
Only time there should be more then 2 buddies in a group is if N is not divisible by 2. If you have to make a group of 3 it's best if they are the more experienced divers in the group.
Did you purchase the reg new recently? If so take it back to the shop and have them look at it. If not I will give you the same advice I give everyone when they buy a used reg. Get it serviced and a full over haul on it. It is a piece of life support equipment and you are putting life on the...
Not sure of thought process on why they did it this way. My zeagle doubles wing has button perfectly perpendicular to the oral inflator, but all of the BCDs I have looked at today have similar placement of the button.
Oddly enough that's the argument they seem to all fall back when I ask for details on why they pay the Blue H tax.

Seems like a fair reason. Just not sure it's worth paying the extra ~$150 for the Halcyon.

I've been hearing allot of noise from the local cool aid crowd about how Halycon wings are so much better then then HOG wings. Does anyone know if someones done a actual side by side comparison of the two products? I have heard rumors that both products are actually produced by the same OEM...
1. Your assuming that there is no other drainage available to the water that may enter here.
2. Drysuits are typical held together with glue. Don't lump all adhesives into the same barrel as Elmers white. I've dealt with glues and adhesives that bond so well that you have to destroy the...
