many technical divers also have a rule of "if X things go wrong before the dive, don't dive" because your brain will not be operating at 100% capacity in case you need to react in a very difficult situation. for example, the fin strap broke and you bungied it + the opv on the reg was leaking +...

i always take my unit as a carry on after an unpleasant tsa experience of some friends where upon landing found their suitcases empty and the unit confiscated. Luckily they were able to recover it after a couple of days but it was a PITA and required friends in the area. i usually pack on the...

Just have to leave a good review since i am impressed by their customer service. Last year i purchased a techniflex USIA suit from a good friend who is a dealer. Right after this happened, i learned that they changed ownership. Then a few months after that, both my boots started leaking. It was...

good friend of mine, johan from sweden is currently in cave country with his triton and he is an instructor. you can contact him at johan.blueadventures@gmail.com

better pack that e.coli tight!

a lot of people will give you great advice here. My small input is that it's natural to feel crappy in the beginning, you were probably shallow (pool?) which made everything harder. You were trying to compensate for boyancy using your lung volume. Don't try to keep minimal loop volume, at least...

we all dive vikings and often in some pretty contaminated waters up here due to fertilizer runoff so it was out of the table also we can't deviate from SOGs :) but the suit was in a impressive state. The donation came from one of our ex members so the stuff is in a good condition

:( this is terrible news. any info on any of the incidents?

pretty bizarre indeed. could it be a burst disc failure or smth?

I'm sorry that i'm posting in this older thread, but i just learned about this yesterday since i don't use social media :(. I had spent a few months in utila as a DM with andy. Did anyone figure out if it was hypercapnia or what happened with the unit? is there any chance that by using the new...

Hi there! So reading the manual that i have, it says the DIN post is supposed to have *small* amounts of thread lock on it. What's your take on that? Since this one of my o2 regs i will just clean it and i am putting absolutely no thread lock back in there, just wanted to see how you guys feel...
