    Stronger/Tougher Duffel/Mesh Bags?

    Old thread I know but if anyone is still looking...Hollis makes a heavy duty large duffel bag. However, it does have some breathable heavy mesh material (not much), it’s not cheap and quite large for one person but ideal for two people.

    Options for dry gloves use with Aqualung/White's Fusion SLT?

    My experience has been with the Aqualung/White's Bullet drysuit and the Sitech Glove Lock QCP system. It has been easy to use and setup. However the rings are big and does limit mobility of the wrist if not set up properly. This system also allows for replacement of the seals and gloves without...

    Longhose, flex or standard?

    Rubber, no brand specifically. The only miflex I own was my first single tank setup. I Quickly went doubles and sidemount and use rubber hoses for everything. I now keep that first configuration for single tank vacation diving (light and easy to pack).

In addition, It’s easier to travel with, Ideal with any future steel doubles training and you can use weight pockets you can drop or p weight. Proper weighting is very personal and something you have to work on but I believe from...

    Double tanks not the same size

    Alright guys, I have an update. One of my concerns is the slant when the tanks are standing. So, I laid down the tanks and with a carpenters square and another ruler I measured the difference to be 9mm. After further inspection, I noticed I cannot cut out the boot so the taller tank sits...

    HP Hose failures

    I have had 2 slight leaky HP hoses, 24" and 6" in my short career. Granted, these were just small bubbles but as soon as I spotted them, they went to the trash. I have become a better diver because of this and do a bubble checks and look out for my buddy. I'm no snob, but I'm considering...

    Double tanks not the same size

    Hey guys, I recently found another hp100 to double up with one I already own. They are both Worthington x7's and are only off by a 2-3 years. However after putting them together we realized they are not exactly the same height. One has a slightly longer neck and stands just a bit taller than...
