    VDH wings in stock!!!

    I have both. As mentioned, the vdh35 material is thicker than the dgx30 and from my experience, the vdh has more lift than the 35lbs specified in salt water. I use the dgx for travel as i can roll it up really tight, the vdh is a little bulkier to pack but in the water its hard to tell the...

    Hollis Wing Issue

    I see what you mean. Definitely confusing and weird for them to make a harness like that. You may have to ditch it and go traditional webbing or DiveRite type adjustable. I initially started with an adjustable harness but eventually went single piece and have loved it ever since.

    Hollis Wing Issue

    Typically, a hog harness or even adjustable type like DiveRite dont have that waist style strap that goes through the back of the plate. To be honest, of all the strap systems i've ever seen, this is the first time i see one that goes behind the plate conpletely at the bottom.

    Hollis Wing Issue

    Is your backplate a Hollis one? Because my hollis plates have 3 tank band cutouts so you can still use 2, and the bottom one blocked by the waist strap.

    DIY Flexible Sidemount Backplate Brainstorming

    I remember seeing the Apeks in store and it was semi flexible. It felt like there was a cardboard/flexible pladtic insert inside. Definitely it will bend to the contours of your back but not foldable. I'd assume the Mares is the same. DGX might be able to answer for Mares if you email them.

    Best Gear Bag/Case for sensitive scuba & photo gear when flying to destination?

    I used a backpack bought from Henrys that was made for camera storage. It had velcro dividers in the bag that allowed me to customize the interior into compartments so everything fit nice and snug. Camera, lenses, chargers, housing, domes, etc. Everything fit inside and was comfortable to...

    What's your SurfGF and how does it compare to your (Rec) GFHi?

    So in your scenario of a rec/reef dive at 100' where you stay above NDL (say 2 mins above), then your sfgf will ALWAYS be at or slightly below your gfHi, correct? The sfgf will only ever be higher than your gfHi if you go into devo, even 1min past?

    What's your SurfGF and how does it compare to your (Rec) GFHi?

    I get that its very personal and kind of trial and error, but for a typical rec diver what range should one be looking at? For example, would anywhere from 80% and lower be fine and considered "safe"?

    What's your SurfGF and how does it compare to your (Rec) GFHi?

    This thread has some great info. Im curious though how to determine what surface gf percentage I should be getting on a no deco rec dive that would be considered safe. Let's say med (40/85 gf) conservative mode. Would it be safe to ascend at 85% and after 3 min ss 75, or should I be off...

    Picked up a new computer!

    I bought mine almost 6 months ago and have yet to dive it. Too cold for local diving and no travel until the fall.

    Should I wear a snorkel or not

    I've had to swim to shore a couple times and also do lots of shore diving. I swim backwards (on my back, face into the sky). Doesnt matter what type of weather conditions, it always works perfectly. A snorkel is cardinal sin in my book
