I have not had the chance to use it yet. According to the manual you can set the range of PPO2 from 1.2 to 1.4. I believe this is used as an alarm point and calculates max operating depth. I believe the O2 is set via the NITROX setting and will be used in the PPO2 calculation. Again I have not...

I don't think I made a comment on a computer, but funny you should mention it. I do have a Deep 6 computer. Unfortunately I have not made any dives with it. I got it last year and planned to dive locally but with COVID and such I didn't get out. I am looking at buying my gear so I don't have to...

I log number of dives, dive time, skills done during dive, exciting things seen/done, equipment used, amount of weight, etc. I am sure I go overboard. I am an engineer and I like data, even if it is useless. I am a newer diver that dives locally (cold) and vacation (warm), so I like to keep...

A lot of great advice here. I have looked at a Mako weight belt. I was thinking about doing a belt instead of weight integration, but being the total buoyancy system has the pockets I figured I would keep them. I may get a belt too being they are relatively inexpensive and I can break up my...

This is why I am considering HOG (32 lb) over the DGX (30 lb). Using the "Optimal Buoyancy Calculator" found on SB, it looks like I will need around 26lbs of lift from my wing. I appreciate the extra 2 lbs as some wiggle room. I am also considering a weight belt instead of weight integration but...

I wasn't planning on replacing the harness right away. The harness it comes with makes it seem like a great way to get into BP/W after diving jacket/rear inflate BCDs. I was just inquiring about future changes. I was also planning on adding some trim pockets on the cam bands. Thank you...

I am considering getting a HOG Total Buoyancy Control System BP/W. I will be diving mostly cold water in a 7mm wetsuit, with occasional travel to warm water. After looking at different BP/W setups, it seems like the most bang for the buck (32 lb wing, larger weight pockets, 2 cam bands, AL BP...

I just pulled mine out, and you are correct in assuming the top line is current depth. I tried mine out yesterday in a shallow lake and only got down to around 5’ with only my mask, and nothing incremented. I only saw the top line mention current depth. I am not sure when gauge mode goes into...

We just got a hot tub a few weeks ago. I am trying to convince my wife that I need to buy my scuba kit so I can keep it clean and pick up every grain of sand from the bottom.

ahh, I see it now. I had some errors in my reply I posted above (z instead of X, etc) I guess that’s what happens when looking at spreadsheets all day for work and then try to use a pdf of the dive tables. Too easy to go cross eyed and confuse lines on tables. thanks for the clarification.

Does diving at 50' for 54 min after a 13 min SI after the 108' dive leave you in PG Z after the 50' dive? Dive 1: 108' for 13 minutes PG after dive is I SI 1 for 13 min leaving you in PG G after the SI On Table 3 the values given for PG G for a 50' dive are: RNT:26 ABT:54 You can do a dive...

I have been checking the website for a few months to see if the 30lb wing and SS backplate are in stock. I also went back a few pages on this forum to see if there was an update. Are there plans to get more of these in stock, or are you guys phasing them out (like the killer deal I got on a...

I like to see prices for dives, is it a one or two tank dive? I see that you mention creating dive packages, but maybe list a rough price for a two dive package, 4 dive package, etc. If you rent gear, list prices for individual pieces of gear and if you have a “full gear” rental package list...

Thanks for sharing. My wife and I are taking a similar trip in about a week.

I ordered one a few weeks ago. It came shortly after I ordered it, but I was out of town for work. I ordered a large and tried it on today. It seems pretty awesome and fits well. There is also a lot of flexibility for a 7mm. It is a bit more difficult to get on compared to the rentals I have...

Thanks for the reply! Why are you guys closing them out? Are you guys going to come out with a newer style?

I am looking at getting the Deep 6 7mm. Usually I am an XL or LT, but according to Deep 6’s sizing guide I would be a large. I see their return policy only covers manufacturers defects, but I didn’t see an exchange policy. I have heard very good things on this board about them, but I don’t...

I have also been eying this BC for awhile. I have been debating between this and going BP/W. I think I will hold out for thanksgiving sales before deciding. It is good to see some good reviews of this BC on SB.

I am looking at finding some decent diving around MN. I am aware of the usual places people mention. Square Lake - I have dove that right after my wife was certified there. Lake Ore-Be-Gone Crosby/Cuyana pits Lake Wazee Quarry Park near St Cloud - Tried to dive it, but called the dive off after...
