So I ordered some size 10 dui rock boots (in Australia from USA, took a month to arrive!) and I went off my shoe size which is USA 9.5/UK 8.5. The boots arrived and they're absolutely huge, I can fit my index and middle finger between my heel and the rear of the boot.
Here's what they look like...
So the latex seals on my suit reached the end of their life span and i decided to put on Si Tech QCS quick change seals with silicone seals. My first dive last night and the left wrist leaked badly.
Through some investigative work this morning I figured that it is because of the tendons in my...
I have a Canon G16 with Fantasea F16 housing and I'm in the market for some basic lighting and strobe. I'm currently looking at this set up: Inon S-2000 Focus Lighting Set but wondering I'd be better off building my own? I really have no idea where to start. That site is Australian dollars too...

That's my buddy in the video. She went diving on Sunday and had a once in a lifetime experience.
I have an Oceanic Arc 250 torch. It has a fantastic build quality and the switch is one of the best I've seen. But it's dim. So dull that it's not even worth using.
I was wondering if anybody had some advice or could point me in the right direction on how I could upgrade it to be brighter.
With the new Perdix AI doing this on the log automatically, will there be provisions introduced to allow owners of non AI Shearwater owners to manually insert their tank pressures to have the ability to log our air consumption?
Would anybody be able to point me in the direction of a Poseidon dealer and servicing department in my home town? I've not been able to find anything, and they're quite expensive to get done at my regular shop.
A second question, would a Poseidon Cyklon 5000 first stage be suitable as a...
I had a cold from Tuesday till the following week Friday. Ten days. Did two shore dives Saturday and two boat dives on Sunday (36m and 9m), with no drama.
Then Monday the eustachian tube on my left side is blocked. Cleared up by Wednesday, when I did a quick 15 minutes gear test dive, and...
So I dive twin 12L steel tanks with a 300 bar manifold, a steel backplate and hollis f1 fins.
My drysuit is a bare hdc tech dry. My undergarments for 12°c water are a base layer of compression gear, a layer of basic thermals and then a Bare CT200 polarwear extreme thinsulate jumpsuit.
Now...
I'm currently diving a twinset of 12.2l Fabers with a giant 55lb Hollis wing (got it cheap with the backplate) and I want to downsize.
I'm just wondering if this HOG wing will be sufficient lift? I'll be diving with a trilaminate drysuit.
Another question, as I'm pretty new to twinset, and...
Tanks were just recently hydro tested, and the manifold was checked over.
So I had my twinset filled today as per usual. But when I got it home I could hear a creaking/croaking sort of sound coming from the centre of the manifold. Turning on the air, or closing the manifold doesn't take away...
I'm after their Bare 7/5mm Sealtek Dry Hood and the Bare 5mm Sealtek Gloves.
I cant seem to find a shop anywhere in Australia that has them (at least via Google), and if I try buy them online from the USA the shipping is super expensive. Plus I'd like to try on the hood before I order it...
So my gear is starting to add up now. I've got a 5/7mm wet suit, a 3mm shorty, a trilaminate drysuit and the accompanying undergarments.
Atm, I've just got them hanging on whatever thicker coat hangers I had lying around (plastic or wood), but I don't feel like spending $30-50 AUD to buy the...
