I am dry land practicing with my new finger spool and DSMB while wearing my dry gloves. I have watched multiple videos demonstrating how to do it and in all the videos the first task is to attach the line from the finger spool to the DSMB. Is there a reason why I can't attach the line before...

Found the right video. Now I see how they attach. Looks good.

I have a dry suit with latex wrist seals and I have a question about installing the KUBI system. I saw one video where the aluminum rings were glued to a dry suit sleeve that had no wrist seals. This looked like a difficult job where the aluminum rings would need to be a very close fit to the...

I can still read my gauges but it's getting difficult. I like the idea of the Hydrotac stick on lenses but I'm worried they would fall off in the water. They come in pairs so I was thinking I could just put in one since it's just to check my SPG, compass, and bottom timer. I could put the...

The seals are bottle shaped latex. I like the tendon theory. That was also something I suspected. Maybe if I slide the seal a little farther up past the tendon area.

My wrist seals often let in a bit of water. They are tight and positioned well but my wrists are hairy. Do I need to shave my wrists? Looking for advice. Thanks

I use a Sensorcon Inspector. I read somewhere that a temperature swing can throw it off. The instructions say that exposure to heat and humidity can damage the sensor. I wouldn't just toss it in the save a dive box loose. I store mine at home in a desk draw because I own my own tanks and...

I save the tubes from paper towel rolls to stick in my gloves and boots to hold them open while drying. This thread reminds me that I've been meaning to get some PVC pipe and build a proper rack.

I think this idea comes from getting my tanks filled being the biggest hassle of the sport for me because of the shop location and the hours they keep. 90% of my visits to the dive shop are just for tank fills and inspections and I make a point of buying all my gear there and not on-line. I...

Greetings dive professionals. Several years hence I will be retiring from my regular work and would like to start a business serving the diving community. Setting up a fill station for everything from air through mixed gas for tech along with tank inspections requires careful precision that...

Yes, pressure differentials and temperature differentials of the inner ear are known to cause vertigo as well as strobes . I was looking for instances where strobes were thought to have played a role.

I was speaking to another diver that had experienced an episode of vertigo at 115' fsw. After decending the anchor line to a wreck the diver came apon several other divers with strobes attached to their gear. There were also divers lights angling about. The diver suddenly was overcome by...

Greetings Chairman, I'm doing a little browsing on SB and came on your photo of the cart. I notice that you have small button gages to serve as your primary SPG's. I use one on my pony but had not considered the possibility of using one in this way. I like it and you obviously consider them to...

Just saw the same story in The Guardian. Dutch WWII submarine wrecks disappear from Malaysian seabed

To fully answer the original question... No, this is not a stupid question. I've heard places like DGX are very helpful. I bet if you call them they would be able to set you straight. When you are trying to streamline your gear correct length matters. JUST REMEMBER when ordering an inflator...

The diver was Jesse Travers Hubble of Somerville, Massachusetts. Still being called an equipment failure with no other details. Depth in the area reported as about 60ft.

Local Boston news reports it was a Massachusetts based film crew shooting video for a political advertisement.

When I rebuilt my Dacor regs I asked alot of questions on the DIY gear repair forum and got alot of great help getting the job done.

Northeast scuba supply sells the high pressure seats. Take the regulator apart and take pictures so you can put it back together. If there is no corosion on the high pressure seat cone you are good. Measure the dimensions of the high pressure seat so you can order the correct one from northeast...

These are all excellent ideas. Thanks to everyone for the fast response.
