    Fin Opinion

    I wear the same size boots with XXL jet fins. I got mine on Leisure Pro, but if you set up a recurring eBay search you can score a used pair of jets for cheap. Hog makes a cheap knockoff, XS scuba makes another knockoff, OMS has a neutrally buoyant knockoff that is supposed to re-release next...

    Hog harness rigging for carrying octo?

    Make sure the hoses are flexible enough before you go shoving them places. Do saftey drills on the boat deck, surface and about 5-10 feet down on the descent to make sure it will deploy easy. Don't get complacent. My octo hose was cheap, but still new, a dried out rental hose may not fold the...

    Hog harness rigging for carrying octo?

    A longhose and necklace is the right (lel) way to do it. When my old shop made me dive with a std. hose kit I would chickenwing the hose in front of my right shoulder, bend it back around and put a loop of hose through the D ring, like an "n". It kept it nice and sleek. The second stage would...

    Emergency whistle - where/how to stow it?

    I used to have it cave tied to a bolt snap (cut off the leash and tied straight on to the whistle) and clipped off the bungee in a thigh pocket. Then I got wet notes stuck it in there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Moisture in my first stage?

    My XTX 50 had a similar problem when I got the 5th port upgrades installed. It whistled like a train whenever I breathed or ran my bc inflator. Turns out they forgot to lube an o ring on the hp seat, causing the whistling. It was a 5 minute fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hose length for Rec only diver

    The point of the can simulator is so you don't have to re-learn the muscle memory when you switch between tucking the hose and catching it under a Canister. If you're never ever going to touch a can light in 10000000 years, there's no need. Just tuck it and you're good. Deploying the long hose...

    Hose length for Rec only diver

    Just tuck the full 7' hose in the belt. If thats an issue, you can take some cheap pvc pipe and cut a 2" slot through it (with a router or dremel) for the webbing and slide it on to the belt. I used a 9" length of 3/4 diameter pipe. It ran me about $2 and an hour of work. If your money is...

    Are Salvo Lights as Good as Light Monkey?

    It's the same company and same people. I have an old Salvo HID off ebay and it's great. Comparable to all my friends Halcyon torches (hence the legal trouble, based on what I've heard). The HID ballasts are round and a little less obtrusive than the comparable Halcyon lights. Light monkey will...

    Yet again - recommendation for two backup lights

    The Dorcy has enough power, IMO. If you do go for it, be very careful with the threads, they're easy to damage when reassembling the light. I'd stand the light up on a desk with the lens facing the tabletop as you screw it in. If you get it from Pirhana dive manufacturing, it's around $90 for...

    Yet again - recommendation for two backup lights

    I used to use the DRIS 1000 lights, but I found they were too bulky and never sat smoothly on my harness. The right side light always jabbed me I the side too when I wore a can light. They were really heavy, and it also felt kinda stupid having backups that were as bright as my can light. I...

    Are Hollis or Dive Rite or Halcyon single tank wings anybetter than HOG's one.

    The beauty of the zipper is that the wing can be broken down if you have a puncture. You can swap the inner bladder and just patch the shell. That's what I did with my Halcyon Eclipse when it got a leak. The hole on the shell is stitched up, but the inner bladder was all new. No zippers means...

    Good trips in the area?

    My university (GMU) is getting it's scuba club reactivated, and we are trying to find local dives we can do for a weekend trip. Are there any spots around besides Lake Rawlings and Dutch Springs? Ideally any sites would be in a 3-4 hour driving range and be inexpensive enough for undergraduates...
