I want to make a new sidemount rig for warm water boat diving with a pair of al80's. I build my own harnesses, but I need a wing. I figure 15-20lbs of lift from the wing will be plenty. I am leaning towards the Deco 22lb sidemount bladder I saw from @DevonDiver - the price is right - but I am...

I dislike the flimsy grease pencil that come on wrist slates, so I finally got around to upgrading mine. I bought a retractable mechanical diving pencil from Piranha to add to my Dive Rite slate. However, the existing pencil holder on my wrist slate was far too small to fit the larger mechanical...

Hello sidemounters; For those sidemount divers who carry a separate drysuit bottle (because trimix), where do you put it? I have seen: -skip the bottle, run an inflator on your 50% deco bottle; -bottom mounted on the butt plate/butt portion of the crotch strap/clipped below the hip strap...

Does anyone know who makes the Fourth Element HD dry gloves? I am assuming that they are a borrowed design and not actually purpose-built for scuba.

In short: I need new fins for sidemount drysuit diving, I'd like about -1lbs negative at most, what is the best fin for a steady diet of modified frog kicks and helicopter turns in wrecks? My lead choices right now are the Hollis F1 LT, the Apeks RK3 HD, and the DR XT. Long Version: I recently...

Looking for used pair of lp85's, willing to drive several hours, please pm me if you are selling yours and not on the other side of the country.

I am a confirmed cold water Great Lakes diver. I am pleased as punch to dive wet in 30F's, the 40F's are balmy, 50F's call for a light wetsuit, and once the water hits the upper 60F's it's swimsuit weather. But this month my buddies have talked me into going to North Carolina. I have been told...

I am thinking about heading up to Sherkston but it looks like the RV park doesn't open until May. Can you get in there now or do you have to wait for them to open? Thanks.

I don't see a thread for this so here it is. This is my first time going to it and it looks like it's going to be good, up in Ann Arbor Michigan tomorrow. Any other Scubaboarders attending?

If you could start your tank collection over again knowing what you know now, what would you include and why? I noticed that the last tank selection poll was from 7 years ago and I would like to see if opinions have changed since then. Also, not just see what people's favorite tanks are but...

Hi, Is the isolator valve post on a modular valve a meaningful failure point when used in single tank configuration? I am converting to DIN with tech and doubles in mind in the future and would like to know if the different gas routing of a modular valve compared to a conventional DIN valve is...

I am looking at getting something a bit warmer than my 3mm full suit. I have been reading to try and learn what the options are. My goal is to have something that will keep me acceptably warm on the bottom of Lake Erie in the summer and dive in the late fall and spring. So down to at least 40F...

This is for new divers who have gotten through their basic OW class. It ended up being way to long to post here so I put it on my blog and linked it. Hope it helps. Gear Advice for New Divers Please post any replies, questions, or comments here, not on the blog please.

Hello, I request advice for something solid but entry-level in cost. I am a Great Lakes diver who is getting back into diving after taking my OW course years ago and not doing any diving since until this year. I loathed jacket BCD's so my first acquisition was getting a BP/W from Tobin. Very...
