Asking for a friend: this is him underwater. Not sure why it looks like it is hanging so far under him. He is adamant that all rings are in the right position. Is there a way to change the position of the stage compared to your body by adjusting a few things?

For those of you with a Pitkin controller for heated suit and a light, can you put them on the same battery? Apparently you may damage your system if you do this on a LM battery. If that’s the case, do people carry two batteries? One for light and one for heated vest...

Is there a recommended length for stage hoses? This website claims 36 inches for first stage with swivel and 40 otherwise https://frogkickdiving.com/regulators-%7C-hose-routing#982c7467-b3d5-4bb0-a7d4-b28225aba7ea

Let’s say I lay a line between A and B, maybe because I am searching for B in low viz. Is there a way to retrieve my spool once I am at B? I could carry two spools and lay the opposite line then come back again to retrieve the first spool and then retrieve the second spool But is that the...

Thought this was a cool video to share

Hi, I seem to get small rips on the top of my neoprene neck seal about every year. Usually I get the neoprene neck seal replaced. But I was wondering: could I just fix it with some black witch to get a bit more use of it and avoid sending the suit for repair for a while? It seems that the...

In the market for a battery for a heated vest. I know nothing about these and find the online information not very easily comparable. How do you guys choose? Is that better to plug both the torch and heated stuff on a big battery or keep them separate? How do you guys choose the size...

Hi, I was told during my MOD1 class to try to avoid putting my head in a position where the O2 cells were upside down after diving. This was so that the water condensation wouldn’t fall into the opening of the O2 cells. But I was wondering, are the O2 cells damaged by more exposure to water...

It seems most people I know use either 1.2 or 1.3 for high setpoint. How do people decide what is the right setpoint, is that mostly a concern for longer deeper dives than MOD1 (and repeated dives)?

Silly question here, when off-gassing I think most of the N2 and other gas would be exhale through our lungs. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how much volume of gas we are talking about if I was for example doing 1 hour dive at 35m followed by 30 minutes of decompression. I am mostly...

I am thinking about getting MOD2 in the near future with TDI or IANTD. There aren’t too many people posting reports of their class. Are there any gotchas or things you regret not preparing before the class or things you should probably prepare or be proficient with?

Silly question: I find it much harder than in OC to hold steadily as shallow stop in the ocean when there are a few waves when I do not have my DSMB deployed: I.e just following buddy with dsmb Do you just guys quickly inflate/deflate the wing to keep up with changes of buoyancy at the last...

I can finally take pictures with Manta Rays diving O2 at 300m. Aside from inaccuracies, it’s a fun game.

Found an abandoned lobster pot with trapped creatures inside, I was wondering what’s a practical tool you could use to cut the rope on the sides of a pot. We used a trilobite and although we managed to cut a panel, that was painful. Would trauma shears (like the dive rite one) work well for a...

Has anyone tried and reviewed these fins on this forum? https://shop.reeldiving.se/en/Products/ABC/Fins/Shark_Rubber_Fin?id=SHA12-201-00 Are they better than the scubapro Jet fins? Hard to search without finding threads about shark fin soup in the results 😔

Question, a friend was diving with two stages and had some light shoulder stiffness from holding the stages. After the dive, he was wondering if he could have been bent but it seems just a combination of tiredness, lugging heavy stages and not having worked out recently. Is there a definite...

Is there a way to display the TTS in case of switching to BO on a Perdix? I would like to know how long will be my deco in case of BO.
