Hint, the implication is that it's not for the reg...

I have an UWLD that I love for ocean diving, it's a fantastic light. But TBH I don't really like it in caves of wrecks. The pattern is too broad for clear signaling in small spaces and does too good a job of spilling light everywhere. I didn't even bother bringing it with me on a trip to MX...

I dove D12s (Worthingtons) with an Evolve 60 for non-tech dives and it works, just a little on the annoyingly big side and if you only have a little gas in it the bubble gurgles around but it works fine otherwise.

I'm on a FB hiatus so can't see recent activity at the moment but if you're not aware, say hi on the SDUE group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SDUEx)

From SCUBA diver to HABA climber! Back on topic re: carts, if there's a trail wide enough, I've seen photos recently of I think the Protec guys using big dual-wheeled plastic wheelbarrow/tote carts for many tanks, and jokingly people as well.

If only I were a songwriter! "Tell me where you want to go, I'll take you there" 🙃

Not a matter of political correctness, just pointing out the difference between the two for anyone interested in being more accurate in their use of language. A "local mountain guide or porter" is certainly not someone carrying AL80s through the jungle. (And TIL about the G7, but again I don't...

Nope still not it. Scuba porter yes, scuba sherpa no. Wasn't just directing my comment at you btw haha

Minor PC/educational point since Marie somewhat hinted at it: "porter" is someone who transfers/carries gear. "Sherpa" is a member of, and an, ethnic group from Nepal and Tibet. So a porter in Mexico or Yosemite or the Amazon or anywhere you'll be diving or having an expedition is very likely...

42.5 per 119 vs 34 per Fabers isn't almost the same lol, that's nearly 20lbs difference when doubled up!

Good yes, heavy yes. What are you using them for? I had a set of those for tech charters because I could do two dives on them but for general use 100s are much more ergonomic

No experience with the Waterproof but I switched from Arctics to Santi Flex190 and I find it to be warmer and higher quality, and can be ordered in custom size. I wear SmartWool baselayers underneath. Something to throw in your bucket of options.

Grab a small plastic bottle of Topo Chico or similar from OXXO; doubles as a fun physics experiment for how deep you need to go before it's doesn't fizz when you open it. 😂 [Spoiler: not that deep]

One of my H SMBs has a different thread on the OPV than on my wings. All my wings (H and OMS) are interchangeable so must be the SMB that's "non-standard". Something to verify before assuming that that one can be used for a spare for the other.

Because I secretly willed it to happen 😂

Hmm maybe y'all armchair quarterbacks should just wait for an official product release that says what the scoop is, before complaining about you-don't-even-know-what-yet! 😂 Not like you can just improv JetFins with bungee to make functional strap either, depending on the failure mode.

No prepared food like you find in the sandwich section in the US, have to get all the components. Both cold cuts and the panederia are in the far back/right side. Easy enough to find and all the baked goods are so cheap they're almost free, so try them all. Most important Chedraui note: they...

Depending on where in PA you're staying, yeah it can be a little bit of a walk. Chedraui is indeed the main grocery spot. There's also two smaller places right inside the puebla, I forget the names, good for quick stops for essentials.

^ this. I felt like a complete noob the first half of the week during CCR1 and was soooo happy whenever I got to BO to the open circuit platform I knew and loved haha. If the helium cost is reallllly that much of a problem in trying to bridge T1 to CCR1 then you can still "dilute" the...
