@Melvin Moi Kai Sen Thank you for sharing my blog. I was just looking at the statistics on it, and it showed a link of Scubaboard that had been clicked on, so was interested. Graham Savill :-)

Hi, I have moved over to Sidemount and I have 4 old tanks, which are in great shape, but are only single valve A Clamp. As the tanks are old, they are 3/4 BSP. So far i have been using a-clamps, but over the past couple of years, been moving to apeks dst's and dins. My regs are now sorted, just...

Hi All, Hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction. At the weekend I stupidly banged my Pony reg (Apeks TX40) and the shell has cracked. The reg still works fine, I spoke to Apeks and my Local Dive Store and their costs are more or almost as much as a picking up a 2nd hand one...

I brought a couple of cheap weight pouches on the Bay. Cut some webbing and threaded it through the pouches and as mention before permantly bolted the webbing to the wing. When in sidemount I just add lead. Then single backmount the tanks sits fine against the empty pouches...

Looking to buy my first decent dive light. So looking for suggestions. I dive UK South Coast wrecks mainly - so the normal UK water conditions. Try to dive as much year round as possible. As I am about to spend a bit of money up to (£600) I would like to know that it will last. It would be...

I have exactly the same set up on each side! 6" spg, inflator hose, 7' hose. The extra hose is looped back along the tanks, left hose comes up in front of my shoulder round the back of my head and is on a bungee. right comes up across the front of my body and round over the the left shoulder and...

Hi there, After successfully servicing my apeks which was fun and interesting at the same time, I have decided to give my Mares MR32 Proton Ice that I keep for friends to use, and when I go with a single tank. It was brought about 2 years ago. However I can not seem to find any service...

My current torque wrench is too big, but will picking a new smaller one up as could have done with smaller one a few times. So perfect excuse for another toy :-) Thanks for the advice.... ---------- Post added June 15th, 2013 at 01:36 PM ---------- What size dowel lenght and width??

:confused: Hello Everyone, So I am about to take the leap down servicing my own regs. I have reviewed the Service Manuals several times, as when I first read them, I could not believe how easy it is. However I know form experience that following a manual is...

And the people whose habits spurred this thread are not talking about that., They are talking about that training, either formal or informal, being unnecessary. I disagree. I do not believe Certification/fomral training is the only path as I have stated a couple of times already in this...

Both a Yoke and a Din could come off, being knocked off, knocked losen. Nothing is guaranteed. However Din is safer then yoke as its less likely to happen. As pointed out in many of these comments, its all about reducing risk. Now if you are in a large cave with 3 to 4 meters of head room you...

When I read this, I was like "I can see their point" as like i pointed out, I do similar dives without "official training" then I watched the videos, and was in shock, and as pointed out by many comments following, the list of things done wrong seems to be endless. This is where I think there...

Someone pointed out technical diving is more dangerous then surfing in reply to my comment. I have surfed various reefs around the world and had numerous close calls by being nearly injured or be put throught the wash. The point I was making is many sports are dangerous that we get involved in...

I am a diver who has gone beyond my certificates. I am AOW, I regular dive to 40 to 45 meters, pentrate wrecks and caves. I dive in a drysuit which I have never had offical training. My regular buddy just has his openwater. we have been diving together for over 15 years, with over 600 dives...

Hi All New Poster, Long Time Reader :-) Just looking for some info (No Advice) :-) I am currently moving from a Trilaminate Suit that really has seen better days to a crushed neoprene. I have tried a couple and really like them. I have also gone for a made to measure suit. However I am...
