    I have an upcoming trip from Male to Kooddoo and wondering about camera and dive gear packing. Looks like standard baggage is 20Kg and carry-on is 5kg. Any recent experiences with weight checks etc?

    This stuff happens...

    I've been waffling about posting this but talking with another tech diver who's also had a DCS episode, it seems like we generally don't talk about these things, so I'll just file this under "maybe the purpose in one's life is to serve as a warning to others." So this is basically the...

    4E Arctic vs. Arctic Expedition

    Anyone using the Expeditions and if so, how do you like them? For reference, I've been diving the standard 4E Arctic set and it's time to replace. I really like them due to flexibility, and ability to remain warm even when suffering through a flood. For the Seattle area, they work well with...

    Late July Wreck Diving

    I'm out of Seattle, but looking to do a little opportunistic wreck diving in late July in Great Lakes. Anyone recommend a good charter, preferably up around UP, northern WI, or northern MI. Also, it would be great if they were located next to a small airport.

    xDeep Stealth Weighting

    Just curious, with the xDeep Stealth Tec, already running the larger spine weight pouch, where do folks find the best locations for additional weight if needed? I.e, for cold water with lighter tanks, it looks like I can get 24# in the spine weight pocket.

    Fusion Tech Skin Longevity

    I have a Fusion Tech with 210 dives in the Puget Sound area so I'm diving with plate and harness, singles and doubles.

    HOG D1 vs SP MK17/ MK25 for Doubles?

    I'm looking to add an additional reg for a first doubles setup and am looking at a HOG D1, or stick with SP. I have a MK25/S600 for my primary, but for the cost, a new HOG D1 - Cold water is really tempting for the secondary reg as opposed to staying with a SP MK25 or MK17. Any reason not to go...

    VT3 Data Logging

    I have a VT3 set on 30-second logging with a wireless pressure transducer/ wireless on a ScubaPro S600/ MK25 regulator. Yesterday, I had a free-flow, and at that moment, data from the computer seems to indicate a momentary loss of link, upon re-acquire of signal, the pressure read 2344 psi...
