Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice on my Kubi glove system. I had a fitted system installed last summer but haven’t had the opportunity to use them until this weekend.
The seals work fine without the gloves and the gloves go on with no issues, however I noticed that the rings on the dry suit...
Hi all,
Ok so I know that which system is 'best' is very subjective, but I need to replace my wrist seals on my trilam suit and thinking of moving to a dry glove system for the dexterity etc that it offers. I was tempted to get the Northern Diver system (as I have a Northern Diver suit) but I...
Hi All,
I’m looking for a new dive torch for then UK and need a bit of advice. I currently have one of these
Amazon.com : Tovatec Compact Torch : Camping Lights And Lanterns : Sports & Outdoors
with 130 lumens it’s a bit puny for diving in poor visibility.
I asked some advice in a previous...
Hi All,
Has anyone tried the Northern Diver Varilux 3500 or Varilux TEC 4000 torches? They look like good value and I've always liked Northern Diver gear, decent and no nonsense.
Thanks
Hi,
I am needing to buy a pair of gloves/mitts to last me through the winter.
The guys I dive with use the waterproof brand semi dry mitts 7mm, and say they do a good job.
I inquired at the LDS and they can get them in but the guy who runs it said he thinks 7mm is too thick for dexterity and...
Hi,
I dive an xDeep Zeos BPW, with steel backplate, thinking if getting an Alu backplate for travelling, a. For luggage weight and b. Because I'll either be weighted correctly or possibly overweighted with the steel BP and no additional weight. I also have the possibility if leaving the...
Recently I've been borrowing a pouch weight belt and using it with soft weights, I have found it moves around a lot less than a standard weight belt (due to a rubber strip on the inside), is more comfortable and easier to adjust weighting for fresh/salt water.
I now want to buy one myself, I...
Hi,
I'm trying to work out how to set up my weighting for my current single tank BPW setup. In fresh water with the dry suit (all year round here) I use about 8kg although that may reduce to maybe 6kg as my buoyancy with the dry suit improves.
Having asked the LDS I'm thinking of going for...
Hi,
I recently purchased a Suunto Transmitter and in trying to attach it to my first stage have found that its too large to fit next to my second stage hoses, has anyone else had this experience and how have you solved it? As far as I can see my options are either a short HP hose or something...
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a BPW very shortly, I dive both UK and Egypt, with about 4kg lead wearing a shortie in Egypt. I use 10kg with drysuit in UK currently but expect that to reduce a bit as I get used to drysuit.
My concern is ill end up overweighted in Egypt with a SS backplate.
Can anyone...
Hi,
I am looking to get an xdeep Zeos and am thinking about the setup, bp type etc and what bits such as trim pockets ill need.
In Egypt with a shortie I use 4kg weight with a standard BCD, I'm slightly concerned that ill be overweighted if I use a SS bp, although the guy from the shop I spoke...
Hi,
I have spoken to a couple of shops in the UK about getting a BPW and for my budget I've been recommended the XDeep Zeos as a budget BPW model by both, apparently it is compatible with most other models (unlike some other budget models) and also good value. Has anyone used one of these...
Hi,
I am looking for some help in identifying the exact model of my regs and whether they are the ACD model as I need to know for getting them converted from yoke to DIN
Thanks
James
Hi,
I am looking into buying a BPW rig as a BCD although I am only a rec diver currently. My reasoning is that it seems like a popular choice on this forum and for potential use of twinsets and possibly tec diving at some point.
My instructor recommended I look at Hollis gear for a BPW...
Hi,
Some of you may have read my previous post about getting a BCD but have had a change of heart, I think I'm going to go for a wing/backplate system.
I spoke to the my dive instructor today and he recommended Hollis. I was wondering what combination people would recommend, my original...
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a BCD for around £300 (GBP). My LDS has recommended the Tusa Soverin or rather 'this is the one we have for men'. It is there which is basically my budget. I like using my LDS but want to make sure I get the best for my money and don't buy the wrong thing.
I did briefly...
Hi,
I am a novice diver, done PADI AOW and looking for some reading material to further my knowledge which I can put on my kindle, any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
I bought my first set of regs today, the Aqualung Legend with the Titan LX as octopus.
I just have a couple of questions.
First off I was told that they are cold water regs, I can see that supreme is the cold water version, I am assuming that the snowflake on the top of the Legend second...
Hi,
As it's approaching Christmas I'm thinking about getting a set of Regs (think it makes sense to get Regs before BCD?).
I need to get a set of regs with gauges, I will also need to connect my dry suit hose and at some point a pressure transmitter for my dive computer.
I want to be able to...
