    DIY S600 "seat saver" ?

    So the S600 doesn't have a seat saver like many other Scubapro regs (G260 etc) Any reason I shouldn't do this with my S600?

    Canister for PLB

    PLBs Can Save Your Life

    I've had a HDVSeaTek canister for about 3 years and it has had a minor leak on occasion, definitely more reliable when the oring is drowned in silicone. Anyway, it is now leaking more regularly so I'm thinking I will replace the oring. Has anyone replaced their seatek oring with success? An...

    BP/W users, how do you prevent bellows pocket from falling off?

    Yeah I have a piece of bungy under the threaded under the tri glide on the left hip d-ring that attaches to my knife sheath to stop it moving around and falling off. You could do that. I have also used cave line to tie weight pockets to the backplate to stop them sliding forward on the waist...

    Nitrox analyzer: to take or not to take?

    Here is my experience. I was at Blue Lagoon Resort Truk Lagoon in September 2018. They had 2 analysers in the fill room for guests to use, for the week I was there only 1 worked. It got an absolute hammering. With 30+ divers the device was testing 80+ tanks a day. People treat this gear like...

    Hogarthian Adjustable Shoulder Strap Solution

    I personally don't like any of the cinch systems that rely on tightening the waist belt to tighten the shoulders. If I do the waist belt up tight enough to stop the plate moving it makes the shoulders too tight. I think adjusters on the shoulders are a better solution. Tecline makes some...

    Multi Deco and V Planner

    Yes it weird. MultiDeco has all the options of VPlanner but also has ZHL. I don't understand why he hasn't just depreciated VPlanner and migrated all users to MultiDeco.

    The eternal question... Neoprene or Trilam drysuit?

    I think there is a distinct difference between neoprene and crushed neoprene. I try dived a neoprene and didn't like it. But I love my custom fit crushed neoprene.

    Your decompression experience at Truk Lagoon...

    I've been to Truk twice. The first time I was an EANx Deep certified diver, so not certified for decompression. I had a good time, but vowed to complete deco training and return. After that trip I completed my PADI TEC 50 (decompression dives with two deco gases) In September this year (2018)...
