I am assuming this is a US based debate where we have totally *'d up legal, medical and insurance systems in place. I skipped ahead, but if nobody else mentioned it, require all divers on your boat to have DAN insurance. Especially if they have no other insurance. Even your best friend might...

Buy these: https://www.deep6gear.com/fins.html Trying to use skills to make up for the wrong equipment is a waste of time. When I dive a 3mm shorty tropical I have to put my feet straight up (knees 90 degrees at least) when stopped to bring the center of gravity way forwards or its down by the...

I could get four friends together and have a thousand varied and realistic but totally fake dives logged, potentially even without anyone even being certified. The system of verification is seriously lacking so numbers are useless. Demonstration of skills is all that matters. Also after being...

DGX Custom - DGX Gears Singles Harness / Backplate / Wing Package figure out whether you need aluminum or stainless plate, or just do like me and get both plates with a harness on each and just change the wing back and forth (two screws). You can also get the doubles wing later to use on the...

Honestly I am kinda wishing I had just bought the 6, people say its not enough but I would actually carry it. The 19 has been obnoxious enough to sort out that it almost always gets left ashore. Even a spare air is the best if you will actually have it with you when you need it. I would never...

I think the reason I never got around to getting a set of 50 doubles was that its sorta like having a 100 tank with true redundancy built in, meaning you really need at least two of those setups for an average dive day, and they are not cheap. If you have a nice LDS they will fill it as if it...

I got a 19 because it has a noticeably increased capacity compared to the 13 but is the same diameter and not a heck of a lot taller. If you see them side by side in a shop the 19 definitely seems the better choice. I never did get the back mount thing to a point that I liked it, it always made...

I'm actually against people going against their phobias or severe discomforts to do diving, they have this super irritating way of coming back at just the right time to get people killed. Technically that falls under do as I say and not as I do since I hate water so much that I took scuba...

I already bought a DIN conversion and silicone cold water kit for it and I use it as a travel rig because the half plastic abyss and plastic proton octo are lighter than my conshelf stuff and it would kill me to take my shiny chrome conshelf 2nds in salt. I also even found a cheap late style...

It'll work, Ill might just put the ends onto my 21 body rather than have that 1/2" lp port. It was sorta a fad that the primary reg would work better with a larger hose, mares did it with the earlier abyss (irritates the hell out of me as I have one) but as you can see they don't do it anymore...

I’m holding in my hand a “14” with 3 lp and 1 7/16 hp serial cnnp0032 I’m thinking there were early and late “14” models like that site mentioned. Thanks for the info.

Ok which ones had that oddball 1/2 port, I remember reading about those too. And funny thing, I just rummaged in my scuba tote of crap and discovered a conshelf 21 first that I didn’t even know I owned. I vaguely recall buying it cheap I think. 4 lp 7/16 hp, cool. I can use that body with a din...

Ah cool thanks, I have the 3 lp 1 large hp version. Serial number is letters and numbers. Other than the later 20’s having the extra lp port the site I read before said really late 14’s also got the extra port and actually had a picture of one. Makes me wonder if they weren’t sticking 20 bodies...

They might have been common back in the day when you could still order them new, thought never really in the USA, but finding one that isn’t already attached to a regulator that isn’t for sale is near impossible now. A conshelf supreme din would sell within a few hours of being listed almost...

Strangely I wanna say I have seen a similar one before that I think was an early one developed specifically by the Royal Navy. If that’s a din supreme from the UK that’s likely the case.

:D I have been looking for one of these for several years actually. Its one of the reasons I snagged several old style titan 1st's to use with my conshelf 14 seconds, the din and supreme kits are much more available for them (I actually have 3 old style titan din supreme's now.) I think I know...

I got this as a "US Divers din adapter" and snatched it up because I had the seller send me a pic of the inside of the reg end in the threads knowing there was some Oring involved in there if it was really a conshelf adapter. Anyone that has actually seen one maybe identify it from these pics?

I think the answers to everything have been pretty well covered but one real big killer where I live is people aren't even aware that anyone dives anywhere that isn't tropical. Its a bit funny since the state of WI has some pretty noteworthy wreck diving along the two sides of the state that...

I don't know about taxi unions in the Caymans, we always rent a car for the week. I would love to have done that in Mexico but the large number of clearly necessary police and military checkpoints that our various drivers there had to go through and the VERY aggressive way they drove to get...

I visited Mexico once, and only once. Its totally unreasonable to accept a situation like that, I don't care what idiotic rules they made up. It wasn't really a bad trip but after getting a real good idea of the state of things down there and the desperation inspired antics of the people that...
