I was also looking at a DPV but for shore diving. Is there a reason you recommend the blacktip tech model over the travel (shorter) or exploration (more batteries)? I might take superlyte up on his offer to demo the Genesis, but I might end up spending the 7k price difference to get a...

Welcome to the forum! I am moving to Boston next month, and am always ready to dive if you are ever need a buddy!

Yes can confirm. There is a small 70 in the foot pocket, a quarter of an inch away from the back eyelet.

I think silent running is referring to the prism topaz rebreather. It had cells that were powerful enough to directly drive an analog needle display without a power source. I don't know where to source those cells still but I do think that it is an interesting backup technology.

I think you should be fine. With the regulator installed and sealed, the only way for water to get in is through the second stage and climb the hoses. This will compress the atmospheric air trapped inside which will push back on the water. Depending on your depth it might not have even made it...

I think it was under a week. 10 days does seem longer than I had to wait. It might depend on what you ordered. I agree with couv, they are a great business to work with, just not the most modern customer service practices.

I successfully ordered from them back in March. I heard nothing after the initial order until one day it just showed up.

I have that same configuration and dive it regularly down to the low 40s (5c) and even ice diving. In that cold of water it is usually my hands or head that quits first but with drygloves and a dry hood I have fixed that! I have started diving the waterproof meshtec system and found it is...

I used to use an old luggage cart for my doubles but just upgraded. Bought this: UpCart® Lift And added 8 in pneumatic tires on it. Bought the tires from harbor freight and some bolts\bushings from Ace to adapt the 10mm to 5\8in for the tires. If you have access to a machine shop it would be...

Can you share the digikey part? I'd lkke to know more about it.

I have a similar project but my suit is a DUI CF200. Are any of these solvents good on neoprene?

They are Faber HP117 with the HDG finish born in December of 2017. From what you said I should be in the clear but I will be careful in a few years when hydro comes around.

You are welcome to join me at gilboa this weekend if you want to change quarries.

Is this an issue with all steel tanks or just older ones? I just bought a set of new steel tanks and would hate to have them condemned.

There is also a white star specific Facebook group. White Star Quarry Buddy Board Public Group | Facebook

From what I learned, even though it is almost identical to the undersuit, because the drysuit has specific modifications (valves and seals) for scuba diving it counts as sporting equipment.

Marie is correct that the undersuit should be coded as clothing. You can wear it as clothing and that's all they care about because it is taxed the highest. For my seaskin, I got hit with a huge bill because of that. It took some effort to argue with the broker service and explain that a...

I have a zipper cover and compromise that the cover is closed and the zipper is open. I figure that this gives the best of both worlds.

Great that everything worked out in the end. Can you share any details of the repair process? Might help someone in the future.

I like my dry good but I have to be very careful with it. I am not a doctor but started using it after getting a severe ear infection and learned a lot about how equalization works. You have to equalize because the pressure in your eardrum not equal to the pressure outside of it. In a wet hood...
