All rebreather mouthpieces I've seen have have hoses coming in from each side. Is there any reason you shouldn't have one hose coming in from the side an another coming from the bottom? Just thinking about ways to streamline two sidemount breathers

Has there been any talk about including some sort of TTS display specific for overhead environments? I.E your computer gives you your TTS assuming that you will return along the same dive profile (allowing for correct ascent rates and decompression stops). You would have to let the computer...

I was servicing my regulators the other day and at the bottom of every page in the service manual is a full paragraph repeating the same lecture about how untrained divers should never attempt to service their equipment, its a great way to die, your an idiot if you try etc etc. Is there any...

This coming weekend a friend and I will be diving off a small 3.2m (10ft) aluminum dingy. There's some "small boat" threads already but most of the discussion is about inflatables. Looking to see if any specific advice out there for entry and exit techniques etc. I figure we'll be going over...

Hey all Is anyone able to supply HOG D3 service kits and ship to New Zealand? Tried all the local dive stores but no stock and no one willing to order them in. Thanks

Hi All I was wondering if anyone has a digital copy for HOG D3 service manuals that they would be willing to share with me? I understand that you can do the training and get them but I wouldn't mind access to the manuals anyway. Thanks

Hey all I need some new cave packs for hauling/dragging gear through dry sections. I've been using the classic round bags with the drawstring top but the drawstring always come loose eventually and you loose stuff. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the size large Swago cave packs...

We have an upcoming expedition. 6 large men helicopter into the bush and dive for 9 days, maybe a spot of hunting but mostly just there for the diving. We all have different jobs to prepare for this. I've been asked to arrange the food that we'll need. Does anyone have any tips/advise on going...

Hey everyone. I have an old unbalanced piston regulator that I think is a MK1 clone. The HP seat carrier has a hex head instead of the two holes for putting a pin spanner in. Anyway, we've been diving on this problem free for a while when all of a sudden we started getting air leaking out the...

Niue island is (I believe) a mixture of limestone and coral. Any proper cave diving there? There is a lot of website that mention "diving through caves" but then you get a picture of a recreational diver in a small swim through.

A dive buddy of mine had a about 8 dives on her new reg when the HP seat failed and delivered high pressure to the 2nd stage and the LPI. We were not underwater at the time but the 2nd stage free flowed and her wing fully inflated. Would most likely have been a highly dangerous ascent to the...

I have four old 1st stages that I'd like to convert to DIN if possible. -1st Generation Aqualung Titan LX -Sherwood Oasis 2 (With the little set screw under the yoke when externally adjusting the pressure) -Tekna t-2100 -Dacor 900 Has anyone on here done this or know what parts would be...

Is there anyone doing entry level cave diving courses in Fiji? Preferably in sidemount.

I was diving with someone the other day who had to drive to an altitude of about 800m afterwards. In order to reduce his risk he decided to extend his safety stop on the final dive from 3 minutes to 7. This was at 5m. He reckoned that you offgas faster under slight pressure. Something to do...

Hey guys I've got my tanks back from the shop where they were being tested and filled. I've since noticed some damage to the paint that goes all the way to the steel underneath. It's some very consists scratches that is the same on all tanks. I'm 98% sure that this was not there before I...

Looking to buy a 2nd hand inflatable that comes with a 9.8Hp toyatsu. Would like to know the reputation of these engines.

If you have created a thread which has started to go off the rails with minor bitching and whatnot (that doesn't exactly break the rules but also isn't constructive to the discussion), is there a way to remove a few posts without having to go through the "report" process and bother a moderator?

I'd like to have a crack at getting this running. Need to know what type reg it is and get a service manual for it Has two high pressure ports and four intermediate ports Maybe a Scubapro MK5

Title says it all really. Sorry I didn't know if this should go into cave, sidemount or DIY but I figured it'll only be sump divers who are rigging their SRT harness for use in diving. If you have any photos I'd appreciate a look at your setup. Cheers

I notice that a lot of my Dive Rite gear has this plastic material that is semi rigid and has been sewn. I was wondering if you can tell me what this is called? Do you guys manufacture it yourself or supplied elsewhere? I'm wanting to reinforce some pockets in my tool bag and this material...
