    Difference in weighting between Alu & Steel doubles

    Hello, How much weight can I typically remove when moving from aluminum 11L doubles to 12.2L steel doubles? I use around 14lbs with the alu doubles in a drysuit with FE Arctic undergarments. Unfortunately where I'm going the logistics won't allow me to do a weight check before the dive. Thanks.

    Removing Apeks Yoke 1st stage filter

    On yoke first stages like the DST, the filter element (or guard) is a flat white disc that you push into the yoke retainer. Is there an easy way to remove these on disassembly? The manual says to push them out with a 6mm hex key, but they don't want to come out.
