Has anyone else given any thought to modifying the cover of a Suunto transmitter by putting threaded inserts into the screw holes? I dislike the idea of re-using the self tapping screws and the cover is apparently not designed for the screws to be repeatedly removed and replaced. In the past...

Arrived in Oahu a couple of days ago to help manage a project through the end of the month. If anyone has time and would like to get together for a beer, coffee, dinner let me know. I would love to do some diving but during the day it would be on short notice as my daily schedule is currently...

I have long had a boot dryer for my ski boots that has served double duty as dive booty dryer as well. I have wanted to pick up a 2nd one for awhile as we are family of skiers and divers, but unfortunately Hotronic discontinued the model we have, Snapdry boot and glove dryer, a few years ago...

Anyone have any news regarding the recent passing of Greg Corbelli? Greg was the recent manager of the Villers-Deux-Eglises (V-2-E) dive site in Belgium between Beaumont and Philippville. I had met Greg on a few occasions while diving V-2-E before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. He was very...

Got my hands on a set of Waterproof Ultima DGS Push and Pull system today. I had asked my local dive shop to order me a set out of curiosity and then contacted Waterproof with some questions about how they actually work...they could not provide any explanation beyond the videos they put on...

It is with great sadness that I post the tragic loss of a friend, fellow club member, and dive partner, Jean-Marc Depinois, who died during a dive at Carriere de Dongelberg (Dongelberg quarry) yesterday, 28 February 2021. From the news relayed to me today: Jean-Marc was diving with two other...

Does anyone have any experience with the Subgravity Paragon harness or a similar adjustable harness using this type of hardware? I am looking to know if one is able to loosen the straps while wearing a single tank rig. And would you recommend this type of "buckle" if one wanted to make...

PART 1 Before purchasing the Fourth Element Ellipse system, I searched for reviews on the internet but could pretty much only find ad copy. So in an effort to be un-jaded and independent I purchased a couple of sets (one set for me and one set for my wife) so that we could test and offer an...

I have a set of Cressi Reaction fins and a set of Cressi Frog fins both in very good shape and both in size M/L. My wife has bogarted my Reaction fins for use with her drysuit, leaving me with the Frog fins....they are a great fin except the cause my feet to cramp up. If anyone is interested...

Finally got back in the water today since last February...work, school, and a traumatic hand injury that required surgery has kept me landluberring for more months than I care for. When we got out of the water my wife mentioned I had a stream of bubbles coming from the short high pressure hose...

Could anyone with the non-wrapture version of the Aqualung or Apeks griplock tank strap please measure and post the length of the webbing strap? I have a mystery pair of griplock tank straps that seem really long. The webbing straps of mine measures 51-inches in length end-to-end. I have...

I just got a deluxe IP gauge from DGX. Tested my two older MR22 Abyss 1st stages and found the IP was high: One was reading 150psi and the other 155psi. The specs from Mares is 142-148psi I adjusted the first stage by loosening the regulating nut with a 10mm Allen key. When purging one of...

Was exchanging messages with a fellow SBer today and he mentioned something about his setup that got me thinking about mine. I have a hyper-sensitive gag reflex and a couple of years ago switched to a custom moldable mouth piece on my primary 2and stage, which is on either a primary donate 7ft...

I very recently picked up a pair of Aqualung Griplock tank straps that were "new" sealed in plastic bag with product nomenclature, part number, and barcode(15 euros/each). I suspect these are an older version of the straps because although they seem identical to the current version they do not...

We have been using the following for the past handful of years to store dive gear out in the garage: The only difference to how we had it set up is that we set ours up without the bar halfway up on the clothes hanging side. This evening one of the plastic cross-members on the right side...
