Has anyone tried these gloves? Halo A°R Gloves - Fourth Element

Could you give me some basic rules of how Wh, lumens and divetime are related. There are so big differences between promised lumens and divetime with similar Wh batteries that I don't know who to believe. I know some manufacturers try to hide the real performance by lowering the output when...

Recommend fins for sidemount wetsuit diving. When diving in drysuit I have Apeks RK3 HD and really like those. I have tried RK3 (no HD) with wetsuit and those feels too soft. So I'm looking for a fin that's as stiff as RK3 HD and about neutral in water. Many would probably recommend Deep 6 Eddy...

Does anyone have any experience with Shark Artemis lights? I'm thinking of updating my Nanight and Artemis is one of the options. Replacement needs to be something I can take to airplane.

I'm planning on buying a drysuit for my girlfriend and was wondering if the neck seal systems are good for smaller persons? For taller person with wider shoulders the ring systems are good. But how about when person is for example 170cm (5'7") tall with normal body structure. If you have any...

I really like torches that has external charge port so I don't have to worry about o-rings that often. Currently I have Nanight tech 2 which has external charge port. Also Apeks Luna mini has external port, but the price for that is just too much. Do you know other torches, big or small, which...

I'm planning on taking a SSI Extended Range Trimix or similar course this year. I'm diving sidemount and the biggest problem is finding sidemount instructor. It might be easier to find sidemount instructor for some other agency than SSI. So what are the comparable cources from other agencies...

I mostly dive sidemount but occasionally it would be nice to have single set. I'm also trying to get my girlfriend to dive with me and she could use that single set if we dive together. I'm 193cm (6'4") and she's 170cm (5'7"). If I buy XDeep Zeos, would it fit both of us? I know I have to adjust...

I'm going to buy some drysuit inflation tank, but haven't decided the size yet. I dive in cold water with thick undergarment and sidemount, I'm 193cm (~6'4"). I do recreational dives and tank size&pressure that let me do 2-3 dives would be enough, also something that is easily attached to my...

I'm trying to decide which computer to buy, so if anyone have opinions and experience especially on OSTC 4, please share. Currently my diving is recreational sidemount, but plan is to start to go towards some technical stuff maybe next fall. I know that I don't need all the features that Perdix...

Wait is over and I got my first ever drysuit! Didn't see any Ursuit thread but lot of comparing other suits to Ursuit, so I thought I'll write one. I'm also writing this because I'm just SO Happy to get the suit and soon get back to diving after two years break. So why Ursuit? Support your...

I'm a newbie and It's time to get my own tanks. I'll be diving in cold waters, in drysuit, with thick under garment, using sidemount. So my plan is to get 12l 232bar steel tanks and the question is which one? Options are Faber, BTS and Vitkovice. I'll be diving mostly in fresh water. I've read...

I will get MTX-R sidemount set or 28XR - HR sidemount set. Tell me which one I should get and why? I can get them at same prize. I can get both Apeks and Mares easily serviced. Will get 90 deg elbow for Mares for free. Will mostly use them in cold water. Both sets are good but is there...
