    Question What is this Scubapro tool?

    I've landed with a collection of Scubapro tools. I've figured what all of them are except for this small plastic one attached. The body rotates independent from the stem. It's about 4cm in length. The box it came in has no references written on it.

    Question Issue with Hog D1X DIN locking screw undoing itself

    Has anyone had issues with the Hog D1X first stage DIN locking screw (part #2) undoing itself? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it sometimes just unscrews itself after being pressurised. I can't see anything wrong with the part or the o-ring on either side. It almost seems like when it's...

    Question Source of service kits and parts in Australia?

    Hey DIYers in Australia! I'm looking for sources for service kits and parts that are either in Australia or that ship affordably to Australia. Any brand is fine, I want to see what are my options. I can get service kits for Hog here without issues, but that's about it. Scuba Gaskets and Scuba...

    Question Mesh base layer undergarments for drysuits?

    I've recently come across some hiking videos (like this one: Why Mesh Base Layers Are Warmer Than Merino Wool) about using mesh/fishnet base layers, and some people swear by them. I remember seeing the D1X hybrid drysuit having a sort of mesh layer. Also, some undergarments have some form of...

    DIR- Generic Hosting traveling instructors: how to get the most out of limited time?

    I'm hosting a GUE instructor to travel to my city to run a few Fundies classes for my diving community. I've approached an instructor willing to travel, and we have discussed basic stuff like what gear we need and their travel costs. I've had good response from my diving community, but I feel...

    OPV valves for deco regs?

    I'm setting up my first regs for a deco bottle and I wanted to ask about over pressure valves - OPVs. I've seen some people have them on their deco regs, but not all. Some brand new deco regs seem to include them and some don't. My questions are: - What is their purpose on deco regulators? -...

    Do you pee less with drysuits than with wetsuits?

    Diving makes us want to pee more (most of us pee in our wetsuits, or lie trying!). DAN explains it's caused by immersion diuresis, caused by water pressure and cooler temperatures. I'm considering buying my first drysuit and I was just really curious, as you stay drier and warmer with drysuits...

    Anyone familiar with Scubalamp P53 light/strobe?

    Anyone familiar with the Scubalamp P53 LED Video/Photo Strobe Light? This is my first underwater camera set up, and I am thinking of getting a strobe for my olympus TG-6. I want to do some macro photography, so I am considering the option of getting a snoot too. Two dive shops here in...

    BPW care: bolts, nuts, steel on steel care

    Hi all, just got my first BPW and was curious about it's care. I know that you clean it same way as any other BCD, but I was curious about bolts and nuts and any item that is steel-on-steel. Are these common spots for rust to build up? How do you take care of them? Would you silicone grease them...

    RAID Performance Diver - a Self Reliant course for all levels?

    I just saw the curriculum for RAID's Performance Diver, it's surprisingly similar to SDI´s Solo Diver or PADI´s Self Reliant courses. The only difference is that RAID´s is aimed at divers from any level, and does not mention any form of solo diving at all. But seems to have the same concept of...
