Hi all. I’m in the market for my first BCD. I know I’d like a back inflate and was thinking about the Aqualung Dimension or the Zeagle Ranger. Probably mostly for warm water reef diving but like to get something I can use in cooler quarry dives or perhaps some ocean wreck diving. I like the...
So haven't decided what kind of BCD I want to get (trying decide between jacket vs wing) but in the meantime I need a new BCD LP inflator hose. Is there a "typical" hose length?
The one on my reg that I used to have was 29" long and seemed fine with rented jacket style BCDs, but now that I'm...
So was reading the Teric manual. In the section about choice of last stop it said “Allows you to choose where to do your last stop. The choices are 3m/10ft and 6m/20ft. Note that this setting does not affect decompression. It only makes the TTS prediction more accurate.”
So my question, why...
Going to be on Catalina Island in August. Only will have time for one dive day. Do people suggest the Two Harbors area or near Avalon? I have never dived in kelp beds and looking for an easier dive as I haven't been diving during the pandemic. Just want to get my feet wet (pun intended). I...
OK so I will be in Orlando (yes Disney) next May. Any suggestions for a one day dive excursion? I may need to escape :)
Should I go to Jupiter? What do people think? Is the Epcot dive ridiculous?
So recently got an atomic ST1 regulator with its standard silicone mouthpiece. I actually love the mouthpiece (comfortable/durable) but recently have noticed that sometimes it makes me gag underwater. (Not a good feeling). I have a smallish mouth so someone suggested a Aqua Lung Comfo-Bite...
I'm going to be in the Keys this July. We are a group of divers and snorkelers.
Any suggestions for good dives (and operators), especially if we will be with snorkelers too? I have seen one possibility is Molasses Reef (looks like it's near Key Largo)? Some of the group are pretty new...
Heading to Heron island this December. Going to dive for a few days. This is my first time out there. Any tips or suggestions? I understand the reef is still in pretty good shape compared to other parts of the GBR.
So, I had resisted getting progressive glasses for awhile. Now I really need the reader part of my glasses to see small print.
What do you all recommend as an insert into a mask to help read DC or gauges? I have seen things you can glue onto the mask lens. Or do I get prescription lenses...
So I use a Teric with wireless AI, which I love, and have an analog SPG.
Suggestions for a backup computer to prevent me from missing subsequent dives if my computer were to die? I guess AI would be best, but not required. Don't want to spend a ridiculous amount but I'd spend to prevent...
Is it better to remove the CR2 battery from the Shearwater transmitter if it isn't going to be used for a few weeks? I don't want the battery to leak, but I don't like opening and closing the battery case a lot to protect the o-ring.
Any thoughts?
Hey so been in the market for an Atomic ST1. I saw I could buy the first and second stage together for $999. But, if I buy the first stage separately from a dup second the total is like $959. Why would that be? Anyone know? Is there less of a market for first stages (or dup seconds) alone...
So I am leaning on getting the Atomic ST1 reg, I like the stainless steel strength and corrosion resistance, environmental sealing, and think that titanium (Ti3) would be overkill for me.
I may be doing some cold water diving (no ice diving) but may be in water around 50 F, so I like that...
I like to keep my teric on my left wrist and keep my Shearwater transmitter on the left side of my body. I am thinking about getting an Atomic ST1 regulator -- it has 2 HP ports. The problem is that if I keep my SPG on the left, the other HP port on this reg would require mounting the...
The Teric has a "quick charge" feature that allows faster charging of the battery. Is it better for the long-term health of the battery to usually keep this option "off" and quick charge only when necessary? Or is is OK to always quick charge and only turn it off if you have a non-compliant...
