    Drysuit squeeze and feet over head

    I do this before every dive. It’s especially helpful when you’ve got lots of heavy kit to put on as your undergarments move. It was your fundies instructor that showed me the trick so wind your neck in :wink:

    How do you secure your SMB spool?

    I’ve never understood why SM divers go to all that effort to be “streamlined” then clip off a bunch of arse barnacles to their butt d ring.

    Rebreather - Cost of Ownership

    Ya’ll put them in them thar E-lectronic breathers fella. Little known rb80 fact that I completely made up... the RB80 has to be wound like a watch every 46 and a half minutes. This is can only be done by another diver and that’s where team diving comes from.

    Doubles setup recommendation

    I’m 5’8 and use d12. My 5’2 girlfriend also uses d12. 10s put too much weight high up.

    Doubles setup recommendation

    Why complicate things? All over Europe GUE divers use double 12s. The odd time people will use something bigger for deeper cave. Most dive centres across Europe rent d12s too.

    Doubles setup recommendation

    Speak to your instructor. Ideally if you’re going the GUE route you want the same tanks that your team will be diving. It simplifies gas planning and puts everyone on the same page.

    Doubles setup recommendation

    Twin 10s are too short and are a pain to trim.

    Article on deep stops

    Pretty much what @PfcAJ described above.

    Article on deep stops

    @PfcAJ has he convinced you to dive 70/85 yet? How are you guys managing the ascent from a practical point of view? For example if you do a 30 min 150ft dive, are you coming up to 70ft, gas switch then moving straight up to 50ft?

    GUE training and deep diving

    Min deco ascent is the numbers deco planner spits out running at 20/85 for dives within the NDLs. It also keeps everyone on the same page as to how fast were going and where we’re stopping.... plus that 9m/min bit at the start is great fun

    Moving to Europe.....tanks?

    Start new. The testing/cylinder valve threads are different over here.

    Which treatment for jet fin

    I wouldn’t worry... jetfins are the only thing that will survive the nuclear apocalypse.

    Odd trim problem - Make me a better diver

    All about body position. Head back, arms out, clench your butt cheeks, bend your knees and widen your legs. Experiment with using foot and arm position and see what it does to your trim. Maybe your tank down a little to create room for your noggin. Keep the fins, rk3 are neutral in salt.

    Scubapro K2 Extreme vs Halo 3D

    I had the halo 3D and Didn’t think it was worth the money. I upgraded to a Santi BZ400X and found it much warmer and keeps heat when wet. I dive in the UK so water temps are similar.

    Making Steel Doubles as Buoyant as Possible

    Pee valves are a wonderful thing. You just plug your dinkle into the dongle and you’re good to go!
