I had the original repair done by a shop in Hurghada, though I was diving in Dahab last weekend (scuba seekers didn't have one in stock, and I was diving twins so it wasn't a huge priority to resolve right then...) Correct! single ply-wing is great for travel! I'm not sure how they attached...

TL;DR: where can I buy a coarse-thread inflator elbow nut and dump valve? On a dive trip last year the threaded bungs on my Halcyon Pioneer wing failed spectacularly on a dive in Egypt (I'm living here for now). Both just crumbled apart... (same thing happened with my evolve wing a few months...

Short update: At the end of my course Mahmoud had asked for suggestions regarding what could be done better or how he could improve, and I mentioned that a mirror would be helpful for me for practicing kicks on land (see above under header 'cues that helped me'). While back in Dahab for some...

Course Report: GUE Fundies in Dahab with Mahmoud Esmat Agency: GUE Class: Fundamentals Instructor: Mahmoud Esmat Location: Dahab, Egypt Date: December 2024

TL;DR: Fundies is useful and recommended, Mahmoud Esmat is a great instructor, Scuba Seekers in Dahab is helpful and very tech/DIR friendly. Background: I entered fundies with around 100 dives under my belt, the vast majority of those in a backplate and wing configuration. I had taken a course...

I'm good with bringing the scooter, just need to get details on the dive. Will shoot you an email!

Recently changed work locations and looking for some new dive spots. Done most the normal stuff on the leeward and north shores. Like to dive before work and to make that happen I need to find somewhere closer to honolulu so I don't hit the traffic (work in Ft. Shafter). Any decent shore dive...

Thanks for the feedback. Decided that the lithium may not be worth the upgrade at this time. Think I'm going to stick with SLA. Looking at new batteries. Is there a reason Genesis batteries are so much more expensive? Seems like i can use Duracell or vmax batteries for half the cost with a...

Is this the standard brush board, or the heavier SS style?

Where did you source the batteries from? I don't want to cut it down too much, if at all. The long tube gives a lot of stability in current so I'd be more interested in increasing battery size for longer life.

I recently acquired an older 42AH Gavin scooter. I know the batteries are a little older and was warned they have limited battery life left. I was considering a lithium conversion. Anyone done this conversion before?

You should check out St. Lawrence Scuba. He normally has plenty of stock on hand.

The plunger that activates the AV button on my canon camera is the rotating type that lifts and falls to hold the button depressed for shooting in manual mode. The plunger is not engaging the button on the camera because it is rotating too far counterclockwise. Is there a way to re-phase this...

I have an ikelite housing for an older canon 350d I'm learning on. The button that engages the av button isn't engaging the button on the camera, so I'm not able to use manual mode. Is there a way to adjust the part that sets the engagement for the shaft so that it engages the button on the...

little light work with a dremel can knock down the sharp edges on the plate and minimize the chaffing. I find it a little odd that the tri-glides would chafe the strapping that much. I've got more dives that that on both my plates, and neither is chaffing that bad on the tri-glides. Are there...

When i first started on my doubles i figured out I could either go slightly head down, or could pull the plate slightly higher by tugging down on my shoulder straps to make the valve easier to reach. Trim really is key, especially with big steels.

I haven't converted her yet. She's still in a stab jacket and split fins. I have a plate and wing for her but haven't gotten her to try it yet. Gonna powder coat them her favorite color when I get back stateside in hopes she gives it a try. ---------- Post added December 20th, 2015 at 11:58 PM...

Couldn't agree more with the sea-sickness medicine. I have a well-stocked first aid kit that we travel with. It covers everything from over-the-counter medicine (to include decongestants and dramamine) to trauma dressings. We use the same first aid kit for everything for vacation travel to...
