    Buying my first set of fins. Which one?

    SP Go Travel fit in my roll-on along with my plate/wing and enough clothes for a week or more and fit me perfectly for all-boat diving. They are a little soft but very comfortable in just a pair of socks. Deep6Eddy’s are great when I need to wear booties for shore entry but don’t fit in my...

    How do you choose a wing?

    If you can swing it, diving dry may be the appropriate choice here over a 7mm wetsuit. Your point that in heavy seas, his 27 lb wing may not be sufficient is well taken though.

    How do you choose a wing?

    A wing needs to do 2 things. It needs to float your rig at the surface without you in it and it needs to be able to hold you and the rig off the bottom at the first of the dive when your tank is full. E7-80 - Full -9.3 lbs AL Backplate - -2 lbs Surface E7-80’s w/ AL backplate = about -12 lbs...

    Was just thinking how I haven't needed any gear for the last few years, and it 'felt' nice.....

    New Diver

    I believe they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday’s are nice though. If I were you guys, I would wait a couple of months though.

    Dive Rite Assembly Screw Tool

    I use the 2” SS Keepers that I have to lock my D-rings in place. Hand tight is generally okay For what I use the sex bolts for, which is securing my wing to my plate. The cambands are going to keep it in place anyway. The good thing about the keepers is that you already have those and don’t need...

    Oxycheq 18lb elbow seal

    The 12 sided base of the elbow (Plain Elbow Kit) has to align and seat into the part that fits in the wing. This is what all of my Oxycheq elbows look like but yours seems to be different. If I were you, I would take it in and have them look it over.
