The same ones are also available at DRIS. Slightly more expensive though with better shipping/color choices. I've got one and have zero complaints

I found this post by @stuartv to be extremely helpful for Trigon use/cleaning. Lot of steps and equipment but it all makes sense. I'm hoping to test it out in the water Real Soon Now

Both Pinnacles and Diver Dan's are solid shops and I’ve purchased items from both recently. I’ve found that Diver Dan’s has a better selection of “tech” scuba gear available than most shops and their instructors have been outstanding. They have banked Nitrox 32% and can mix custom blends/trimix...

I spoke to Dan again about this roughly 1 month ago and he said that their pool is currently closed, but when things open up they could work something while there's already a class in session Pinnacles was able to get us in the pool in that same timeframe to test out our new Seaskins :yeahbaby:

I'm using a Hero 7 black with flip macro lens. Without the macro setup, I'd just trust it in the SuperSuit tossed in a bag. With the flip lens on there, I keep it in one of these bags to protect things

We would have been happy to rent from Diver Dans to use the pool or even pay a fee, and we’d purchased equipment/classes from them on other occasions, but alas was not an option When we called Pinnacles to use the pool and rent tanks (in our case :)), Rick couldn’t have been nicer or more flexible

I called Diver Dan’s once asking this and got a lengthy rant about the evils of people who ask to use the pool without buying equipment

It’s not on the peninsula, but Pinnacles Dive Center in Novato has always been super accommodating with letting us use their pool for gear testing/etc

I believe that a 200+lb gentleman supporting himself via the end of the transmitter pod for a decent length of time would put significant stress on the brass threads of the pod/reg fulcrum. Combined with the boat bouncing around, I wasn't all that interested in letting the experiment reach a...

Once on a boat, another diver casually leaned on my tied up tank’s transmitter mid conversation. Luckily there was no damage done to the pod, and he moved before any needed to be done to him, but that was all I needed to put me firmly in the 6” hose club

After tearing a finger tendon trying to unbunch board shorts from under a 7mm farmer john, I switched over to the Speedo style jammers and keep a pair of shorts handy to throw on when the wetsuit comes off Lycra socks are also a lifesaver

When arrivIng, there’s a taxi stand at the airport right after clearing customs where you can get a ticket for fare downtown at a set price. On the way back, there’s a spot right across the street from Casa Mexicana where the taxis hang out - super easy to snag one Stayed at CM / dove with 3Ps...

This video shows how to change out the gloves. I’ve heard that a drop or 2 (no more!) of silicone lube on the glove side o-rings makes a huge difference

Glad you liked it! All the video I've got of the eruption is from that day/evening and extremely similar to what's in the video above. Here's all I've got but don't expect much...

There's a couple clips of the Taal eruption from Sabang beach in the video here Puerto Galera - nudibranchs, mating octopuses and Taal volcano

This is from our trip to Puerto Galera / Sabang beach in the Philippines with Asia Divers/El Galleon. Beautiful healthy coral everywhere and amazing diversity of critters! Taal volcano put on an impressive light show but had no direct impact on the trip or diving. Asia Divers took great care of...

I was in Puerto Galera when Taal blew and there pretty much zero direct impact. Viz and air quality were unaffected beyond a slight sulfurous smell on the first day and one hell of a light show. I'm pretty sure that Batangas Pier wasn't closed at any point and when we went through a week later...

Flying out of SFO, Philippine Airlines was pretty ruthless checking/weighing carry on bags when boarding. They do allow a laptop bag but restrict it to 2kg IIRC. I picked up a jacket beforehand with ton of pockets and loaded it with ~20lbs gear - slung it over my arm getting on the plane and...

We’re in PG diving with Asia Divers through Monday. Overcast sky but no ash/impact on diving. I’ll update if anything changes

Currently all good in Puerto Galera - no ash/smell and skies are far more clear. I’ll update if things change Stay safe everyone
