Ok, I'll reevaluate the weight. Thank you for your advice

Thank you for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to write it. The reason I'm using 17 lbs of weight is because I need that amount of weight to descend from the surface in saltwater with a 3 mm shorty wetsuit without struggling to get down. I've dived in Cozumel a number of times...

For diving in warm saltwater, with a 3 mm shorty wetsuit, and 17 pounds of weight, what is the optimal lift capacity of a wing for a single tank considering safety at the surface and streamlining for minimal resistance underwater? Thank you for taking the time to respond...

I dive in cold water, (i.e. Lake Michigan), with double 85 cu ft steel tanks and an aluminum backplate and wing. I use a drysuit for emergency redundant buoyancy, and warmth. However, I use the wing for ordinary buoyancy control with only enough gas in the drysuit to allieviate excessive suit...

I have encountered problem on occcasions with venting too much gas from my wing too early on some ascents and slipping into negative buoyancy which makes the ascent more difficult. I'm trying to get a better conceptual understanding of how large a volume of gas I should be retaining in my wing...

I’d like to ask about the pressure of the gas that is delivered through the low pressure ports of the first stage of a scuba regulator to a wing and a dry suit during a dive to about 132 FSW. When using the low pressure ports on the first stage of a scuba regulator, that first stage steps down...

Hi, I may be interested in buying your White EVO Rock Boots. Can you send several photos. Can you include the size tag in a photo. I just wore out a similar pair of White boots and the size was marked 12 1/2 near the top of the inside of the tongues. These just barely fit so I don't want...

If you have not sold your Halcyon aluminium backplate, I may be interested in buying it. Bill Kenny kennywek@aol.com

Hi, It is unclear from the various entries whether or not the Uwatec Bottom Timer has been sold. If not, I will buy it as long as it has Imperial nbumbers and not metric numbers. Please let me know. Bill Kenny...

Hi, I may be interested in buying your Uwatec Bottom Timer. Is it the older version or the newer 330 version? Does it show data in imperial numbers, like depth in feet, rather than in meters? About how old is it? About how many dives are on it? I live in the Chicago area, and if you...

Tom, I sold the Dacor computer and manual several years ago, so i don't have the manual. Sorry. Bill Kenny

Hi, Is the Akona regulator bag still for sale. How much? Can you send photos? Thanks, Bill Kenny kennywek@aol.com

If you are going to attach a weight to your tank, why not do it with a tank cam strap , instead of a weight belt?

I just started diving with double steel 85 cubic foot steel tanks and I am having a problem with trim in that I constantly feel like I am about to tip forward. I have about 100 dives with a single tank and I have my buoyancy & trim worked out nicely with the single tank, but it's like starting...

Brett, I loved your interests: "Hunting and going to the gym". I'd like to do that too, but I'd be 10 minutes away from a divorce. In any event, I started diving a back plate with a Dive Rite Quick Disconnect Harness and moved to a Hog harness. If you aren't comfortable with your Hog...

Recently, several divers were discussing proper methods of breathing to conserve air. We covered the basics of inhaling slowly and fully from the diaphram; a momentary pause after inhaling; and exhaling slowly. One of the divers suggested that exhaling slowly through the nose, instead of...

It must be great being your diving buddy!

I have a DUI TSL 350 drysuit with a standard left shoulder exhaust valve that vents air very, very slowly on an ascent, and the valve is fully opened. I use a BARE "Hi Loft" undergarment. This is a Thinsulate garment with a nylon shell. Although BARE calls it "Hi Loft", it really does not seem...
