Wonder how a gag strap would have functioned in this scenario as it seems he tried to b/o, maybe thinking it was ppO2 related. I have also heard, due to a child who started having seizures, that odds of having more seizures get significantly higher after your first. Still unbelievably sad.

They sell classes under DT. They sell rebreathers under DT. They provide how-to videos under DT specifically marketed as educational. They may have started as YT personalities, but that is not where they are pushing their brand.

We're all aware of the concept of "don't bite the hand that feeds you", right? There's the YT channel, classes, trips, swag, white label equipment reselling, and possibly some kind of training agency??? They stole significantly borrowed another prominent online scuba content producer's...

And this surprises you? Hard to admit mistakes when you don't make any. /s

This has all been covered. DAN's response and their immediate and long term SOP changes were released publicly here: Abaco Cave Diver Evacuation "Erosion of trust" is a bit of a stretch. A member did not think they got the level of service they were entitled to, DAN investigated found areas of...

Do you know what material it is? FWIW, I'm trying to find the raw material (for this and another project).

Anyone have a good idea what type of "foam" is being used in these modular float arms? Specifically, not the rigid carbon fiber type hollow tubes type. These...https://www.backscatter.com/Stix-Adjustable-Float-Belt-for-Macro-ports

FWIW, Overture and Polymaker both have pre-foamed LW PLA that doesn't require much more than tweaking retraction settings that may be worth giving a shot. @ChrisMBC if you have a design, I'd be happy to help test, both different filaments and in water. I have very similar use case.

I don't think it's EVA, EVA compresses too much. This stuff is much harder. Backscatter Underwater Photography & Video General Plastics (among others) are making proprietary foams for stuff like ROVs and other industrial marine applications. I'll probably start a new thread and stop hijacking...

I see the confusion. My first post was a response to the guy talking about PLA and when you replied I assumed you were talking about PLA as well, NOT LW-PLA. Makes much more sense...I was genuinely confused why anyone would be saying you should only print PLA single wall. FWIW, I designed a BOV...

Sorry, but I disagree with most of this, especially the single wall prints part. I think the default min wall settings for most slicers is 2. Why in the world would you not want to print multiple walls? I also take issue with the over-generalization of PLA is not designed for "any load or...

You're missing my point. He's not replacing parts, he's adding parts. Curious what you're basing the "less stability" on. Seems a generalization with no real bearing on OPs use case. Aluminum is softer than steel, still lots of things made out of aluminum. It's all about the use case.

Torque wrenches are fairly cheap and have lots of other uses. I don't know the Apeks spec but the SP spec on the main DIN retainer is quite a bit more than "snug".

lol maybe I'm just using "logical" incorrectly. Mine's 5-50ish I think.

Sorry if that read as a comment on your question. I was merely attempting (albeit poorly) to make a snide point in the difference between how the two main parties involved in this have reacted.

It's not about less weight, it's about adding buoyancy. You're not replacing negatively buoyant camera bits with lighter ones, you're trying to add things that are positively buoyant to offset the heavy camera gear. Same reason you have some sort of bc. In the OP's use case, stability doesn't...

Haven't tested yet but would love feedback... https://www.printables.com/model/803227-golem-gear-shrimp-hud-holder

I've had PLA in the water for plenty of time and would consider it fine for non-critical stuff. Also bear in mind, manufacturers can call filament whatever they want, PLA, PETG but the actual content can vary wildly. These are more or less very generic terms and one of the many reasons why PLA...

Yep, that's on me for not specifying a logical reason. Also, you should only need one torque wrench.
