I am banding a set of Faber 117's. Dumb question but here goes. Other than the rating for HP on the manifold do I need a special manifold that is longer given the valves would be futher apart from eachother given the increased circumference of the tanks? I now manifolds are adjustable but is...
So I assembled my first set of doubles. Followed the videos. Installation went perfect that i could tell. Isolator bar had play in it all the way till the end.. I got it adjusted where I wanted it.. locked down the nuts on the isolator bar to keep the konb where i wanted it and got the tanks...
I have been on about 20 dives past 100 on air. Deepest was 143. I felt no symptoms. We performed some short tasks at depth that involved securing a shotline weight at the bottom the existing support/weight. We spent 1.5 minutes at depth. By our assessments we were not impaired in any way. We...
So my hero session is doing something strange. I am trying to get footage of some dives my buddy and I have been doing in the 120-130 foot range. The camera keeps cutting out and stopping recording around the 72-75 foot range. I read somewhere that the pressure may be causing the buttons to be...
Given that I am now doing dives mostly in the 110-130 range I am considering purchasing another dive computer as a backup. These are bounce dives on air with very little bottom time - 2-6 minutes (I have very conservative gradient factors set on my petrel) as I am working on a charting project...
Looking for different opinions on good options to attaching reel(s) to bottom of backplate so they are out of the way...vs using D ring on waist belt. What hardware are folks using? I know for sidemount there are dedicated accessories. What can be used on a regular back plate setup?
Would like to get insights from experienced cold water divers (32-45 degree water) on best practices we as divers can follow to diminish the probability of a free flow when diving cold water. The assumption of this question is we are diving with cold water rated regs that are properly serviced...
Is there one that can actually get the job done for the price? no deco, technical, cave etc. Just to be used at local quarries . Needs to be rated to 100-130 range. Decent run time and speed?
Most of my rig is DIR ...most.. thinking about switching my SPG from me left hip D ring to under the left arm, and onto my left Chest D ring. There I could literally glance down and not even have to remove it to read it. I cant think of any Cons... please fire away..
Does anyone have experience with double HP117's? I have one and am thinking about buying another to band them. I am 250 and x the belly fat I am pretty strong and most of my diving is easy shore entry at quarries...
Years ago I started wearing a rash guard under my 6.5 Mares Isotherm semi dri. I found it really helps slide the thing onto my arms and back. i have not found a solution for the bottom. Any suggestions out there?
Would like some feedback on procedures folks use in low to zero viz diving with respect to touch contact navigation. Please do share. Non overhead environment so not referring to cave diving procedures / wreck procedures.
With close to 200 dives I can say that overall I am very comfortable in the water. Spent most of my teen years free diving and spear fishing so for me Scuba was just an extension of an already familiar thing. This weekend I experienced a strange occurrence. on the 8th dive of a 3 day long...
what are your recommendations for a Jon Line? There seem to be two types on the market. One with just a loop at the anchor line end and those with a metal clip that fits tighter on the hang line. Anyone have experiences with either?
I am considering a jump to the IX3M from the petrel. Anyone have any experience with the IX3M? thoughts? I cant seem to find the specs on the size of the screen. It seems like a larger display and unit over all vs the Petrel and more along the lines of the old Predator. Does anyone know if in...
Looking to extend my diving season into the fall. I know this is subjective as to one's tolerance to the cold but in general curious to know how realistic it is to dive a wet 6.5 semi dri into the fall in the East Coast Mid Atlantic region at the local quarries. Does anyone do this ? thoughts?
