Yup, they're cold. For me, a 2mm shortie was enough when snorkeling, but when I visited HMS Coriolanus (~30m), 5mm was barely enough. All this in August.

:), sidemount diving with one cylinder. Thanks, maybe I will try some sub forums. I saw few members with the location in Croatia, I thought they will see the post here.

Few weeks ago I finished a good holiday in Croatia, in Umag area. I took some dives with local dive centers, but I also did a lot of snorkeling in a wild place with nice waters and very few people around. No clubs/hotels on the beach/etc., just virgin shores. I would have loved to do some monkey...

I keep the regulator with one hand and sneeze normally. Or I just sneeze if I am using the full face mask. Don't worry, you won't blow the exhaust valves.

Thanks for all suggestions. I will try the modification and as soon as possible, I will try to make a video in the pool with the new setup and modification.

I'd say I have enough lift. At the surface, the wing is nowhere near full. I can feel how much is inflated by sensing how much is pressing on my back. If I stop kicking and relax completely, I have no trouble staying on the surface. It's just that I'm with my face in the water in a near...

Ok, so, here they are. The wing is fully inflated in the last pic. A 2kg weight is also visible there, beneath the water pouch. Above it, not visible, is another one identical. I'd say the whole rig is a bit lower on the pictures due to gravity pull, between 5-10 cm. Usually, when in the water...

It also happened some time before during my tests and tweak sessions at pool but it was not noticeable because I did not need to surface elsewhere than entry/exit point. I will take some pics asap and post them here.

Hi all, I need a bit of advice regarding my sidemount configuration. I am using a dive rite transpac mounted over a dual bladder super wing. The wing is a bit modified, I tightened as much as possible the bungee which is routed through the wing, restricting it to fully inflate at its original...

Guns are not allowed in my country for ordinary people. I use a compound bow instead.

I also wanted to check my heart for PFO, just to be on the safe side. However, all my enthusiasm went down when doc told me that I had to swallow something very big and very long, possibly under anesthesia, in order to do the test. She told me that was the only option, as the normal ecography...

Today I received 4 brand new tanks, 2x11.1 liters and 2x7 liters, all aluminium, from an online store in France. They came wrapped in plastic bags, very nicely packed. Valves were not installed and were delivered separately in zip bags. Each valve was with the dip tube also not mounted on it...

I already think at a proper procedure to determine that threshold...

Probably you ordered flat-top batteries instead of button-top. Flat tops cannot be used in series without some kind of modification. These, for example, are flat tops, it is written in the description: https://www.fasttech.com/product/1263000-king-kong-icr26650-37v-4000mah-li-ion-rechargeable

I attached a picture with the hose. It is an older picture, sorry for bad quality. There is no shut off valve.

Sorry to hear that, it happened to me also.. I read it and what I did not uderstood, I asked. This is why I asked, to clarify what is not clear. That's funny, being accused of laziness after coutless hours of researching about how to service a compressor. I never said I cannot find one in...

Thank you all for answers. Until I get a PMV, I will use tank valve for that purpose, I have no choice. Ray, can you tell me please where can I get such a valve from Europe? From US is not an option, I saw some horrible shipping fees from there.. LE: Considering the differences between what the...

Yes, it definetely may be flawed, I improvised with what I had in my toolbox. Also, there may be some things that are missing from my understanding of the physics involved. Can you recommend me a good valve? Are there any valves ready for mch6 or do I need to get a generic valve and find a way...

I'm not sure if this is a myth or not, but I heard that in some cases, hydraulic shock as a result of a compartment imploding at depth may knock out a diver. Of course it depends of the volume of the compartment, the speed of implosion, its position in relation with diver's body, etc., but at...

I am not a specialist in this area, but I am also interested in this subject. Few months ago I dove down to 50 meters in a hyperbaric chamber (air only) and prior to my simulated dive, I observed a treatment session for some patients. From what information I have, I can tell this (hope I'm not...
