    New Seaskin drysuit

    I just think that 1 is to put thing that I definitely use during a dive (the cargo one, shallow ), 1( the bigger one with velcro) that i may use or a redundant for item in the first one. And as I dont really know how a pocket in front feel like, i tried 2 types, so if i dont like one, i can...

    New Seaskin drysuit

    @JohnnyC I'm thinking of the all red suit :) still tossing about the yellow and black as well does look good. your butt pocket properly similar to mine, full of reels and stuff. I properly do a Kobi ring and kobi gloves, it a bit more expensive though. not sure if it worth it I never see a...

    Lol, I just realised it right after I posted the snapshot. I would go with the Lightmonkey PV. Was trying to see if the cuff dump would be helpfull, but according to you, i think it wont be. I didn't go for pocket as i do sidemount, most of my stuff in the butt pocket, usually really hard to...

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    ok, some update from me, after several trial with sliding D-ring, no way the sliding D-ring can hold the Faber steel cylinder. no matter how tighten you can get with the bungee, the d-ring just doesnt hold the steel cylinder at a fix position. At the moment, i clip it on my butt ring, but i...

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    I see. Would suspect that is the case. I will tighten the sliding D-ring and see how it go.But with Faber steel tank which does not change buoyancy as ali tank, what is the benefit of sliding D-ring?

    lift capacity needed for cold, open water diving with side mounted doubles

    I'm diving with dry suit all year around and what I found is more often than not, when i finished my dive,the 2 tanks usually have 300psi each. maybe a bit too low, but i rather be a bit negative when i'm at safety stop than positive.

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    Guys, please. I see no point in slamming each other, this thread have been very helpful to me as a new sidemount diver, and i'm sure it will be helpful to some one else as well. Topic of sliding D-ring and Fixed D-ring, for steel and ali are still plausible. You can do both or you can do one or...

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    Yes, we all use Faber tank for main tank and ali / catalina for stages in Melbourne. Havent seen any others tanks. i would think sliding D-ring would not benefit for steel as it does not change buoyancy like ali tank. or is there any benefit that sliding D-ring can provide for steel tanks that...

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    Really awesome advise. it's amazing how little details can make it so much easier. Literally i could change where the tank clip in the water without any fuzz. I tried and clip the tanks(steel) on Apeks sliding D-ring, but the D-ring cannot hold the weight of the tanks even in water, it kept...

    How to locate the optimal height for sidemount cylinder bands

    Hi Andy, Thank you. I was of the opinion that my steel tank should clip onto the sliding D-ring on my waist belt with sliding loop bungee and should not clip onto the butt plate D-ring. But lots of people that I talk to, also clip the tank onto their butt plate. So i try to find a way that...
