    Diameter of Rolock 90s?

    I've got Kubi's (90mm) on the drysuit I just got, seems like a decent system. But along with the neoprene covers, it's a tad bulky. Not a huge deal, but I'm considering a second suit for a backup and with handling various cylinders and considering sidemount in the future, I figured I'd get a...

    First seaskin just arrived - a couple questions

    Just received my Seaskin Nova in the mail. Overall build and quality seems pretty solid. I ordered the Kubi cuff system for to accommodate the 90mm sized glove rings. Just want to make sure they sent me the right diameter? I'd assume the cuff side would be bigger since you just basically shove...

    For Sale Brand New SANTI 7mm hood - Large

    Got this with my Elite+. The large is too small for me (it seems SANTI runs a bit small for hoods - I've heard this from others as well), so here we are. Looks like these hoods typically retail for $120. This one has never touched water, sat in my closet since I got it. I'll ship it to you...

    British commandos during WW2 - drowning enemy divers?

    Reading Deco for Divers, and stumbled upon quite a claim while learning about the history of nitrox mixes in diving. The author mentions the advantages of being able to dial in O2 content for rebreathers, and how a lower O2 mix would allow for deeper diving vs. a pure O2 rebreather - citing...

    About to pull the trigger - Seaskin Nova specs

    Getting my first Seaskin after my brand new Santi Elite + was stolen after about 10 dives. Long story, but here we are. Anyway. Just sharing here in case anyone sees any red flags regarding options. I frequently wear an Aqualung Thermal Fusion + multiple base layers hence the allowance for...

    Trouble reaching Seaskin?

    I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a Seaskin Nova, but I had a couple quick questions for Seaskin. I emailed them (sales@seaskin.co.uk), it bounced back undeliverable. I tried calling (from US), can't get the call to go through. It's possible I'm entering the phone number wrong for...

    Rolock 90

    I'll be placing an order for a Seaskin Nova, and I think I'll go with the SiTech oval cuff ring system, then with Rolock 90's and some Kubi latex gloves for dexterity. My current suit utilizes the SiTech round quick cuff system, which I do not care for due to it's bulk. Before pulling the...

    Seaskin Nova - flexibility?

    I've read up on some other threads regarding the Nova, and the rough consensus that it's generally a solid suit and hard to beat for the price. I've seen folks comment that the suit's generally sturdy which is good to hear as while I'm not yet diving tight restrictions that require a bunch of...

    Dual lens mask with the best FOV?

    Basically so I can mount a GoPro to it. I currently use the ScubaPro Spectra for this purpose, which works fine. But certinaly doesn't have field of view as my default mask, the Atomic Aquatics Frameless. Got me thinking - what is the dual lens mask with the greatest FOV?

    Backplate / harness fitting - doubles

    Frustrated with trouble reaching valves (left post specifically). Just got a new drysuit and while it made reaching the left valve a little easier, it's still challenging. Right post no biggie. Flexibility is the same in both shoulders / arms. Not sure if the drysuit dump valve slightly limits...

    Fourth Element X-Core vest vs. DIY

    Considering an X-core vest to add warmth to my Thermal Fusion but maintain mobility. Curious if the X-core is so special that it'd be warmer than me making my own vest out of - Merino Fleece (the top, heavyweight) I already own these two and would consider cutting the arms off and sewing 'em...

    Sold! DGX / Deep 6 deco regulators - 1st and 2nd stages

    Deco set up for sale. Serviced earlier this year, O2 ready. I ended up getting a new set that's environmentally sealed, so I no longer have a need for this one. Looks like the equivalent set sells for $239 new from DGX - asking $165, shipped.

    What brands have the best shirts / hoodies?

    I happen to be a fan of graphic tees, and an avid diver. My shirts from DGX, Miami Technical Diving, and a couple others are regulars in my rotation. I was pumped to go in on an Apeks hoodie until the apparel shop went offline. Considering a Dive Rite hoodie. XDEEP stuff is OK if you're down...

    Santi Elite + flexibility for reaching posts on twinset

    Long story short, my current / first drysuit makes it virtually impossible to reach my left post - probably thanks to the fact that the dump valve was installed by another party after manufacture (it was originally on the cuff), and the extra material affects dexterity. Physically my arms /...

    Cold water deco regs?

    My current deco bottle 1st stage is DGX Gears FIRST. I like that it's compact and makes for ideal hose routing. It has always functioned fine in the cold waters of the eastern seaboard, but now I'll be diving the great lakes and with the thermocline, it may be exposed to colder temperatures...

    Chicago scuba scene

    Long story short, I got a job offer in Chicago. Currently in Boston. Single biggest concern is the diving scene. What's good about Boston is there is a ton of accessible shore diving (a few nice sites and a ton of pretty pedestrian ones), and and several charters in the area to get to various...
