With winter and few options for hitting the water right now I'm reviewing my kit for my independent diving to see what I might want to add and what I might want to leave behind. This applies to both in-water kit and support kit I leave onboard the boat, or in my truck.
My independent diving...
Morning All,
Always having a hard time getting the last few inches of my drysuit booties/socks pulled onto my feet. Since they are neoprene I was thinking I could glue some neoprene pull tabs onto them above where my rockboots end.
Would aquaseal be enough for that or will I need to glue...
My backup Cobra started beeping after my last dive, showed "Er" and randomly flashed various depth readings.
Took it to the bench and pulled the puck from the housing, opened up the sensor cover to see if maybe something had encrusted the sensor area. Sure enough I saw a black speck on the...
Using an OMS SS back plate with STA set up with two tank straps. Just out of curiosity I have begun wondering if I could use just one Strap.
Can see a whole bunch of "druthers" for both single and double straps but nothing that screams "hell no, don't do it!"
What's your take on going with...

Bought these to use on my Zeagle ZX and Envoy two stages but ended up not using them.

Howdy,
Have a couple heiser tanks. I know they are 2400psi. Can't figure gas volume from the number stamps. Would appreciate help learning to read this tank
Been Running an Octo on my primary regulator while diving with a completely redundant system on my back
I'm thinking about ditching the Octo while diving solo as is just one more piece of kit to get in the way
What, if any, compelling reasons are there to keep the octo in play?
Generally speaking I lead with right hand when doing most work tasks, whether it be knot tying, manipulating tools or other such things. There are plenty of times though where I am holding a tool (metal detector) in my left hand that cannot be readily dropped/stowed/dangled to allow me to...
Am unable to hear the alarm beeps on my Cobra 3 while underwater.
Any one else have this issue?
Any settings to increase volume or duration of the alarm?
Had an out of air incident today during a trim and buoyancy practice session.
Not a near out of air, but a pull the last breath from the tank kind.
No question I screwed up and I can trace 4 different opportunities I had could have taken advantage of to prevent it.
I keep my tanks organized...
Finally had a chance to try out my new BPW set up. I had calculated the weight diff between the BPW and my Ranger but I wanted to start more within the right ballpark so I did a pre-dive buoyancy check. Didn't have a tank with 500psi in it so I used a full tank and compensated for that as...
I've posted before about some specific cold spots while diving dry and have pretty much linked it to moisture/wetness due to sweat or sweat condensation accumulating on my wicking base layer.
Was just thinking that perhaps my 1.5 mm neoprene vest worn over my wicking layer will eliminate the...
So I finally made the jump and have gotten a BP & W. I'm starting off with a basic one piece harness with the requisite DIR d-rings.
I dive dry and need 30# of lead for SW and want to carry about half of that as ditchable.
I have a couple of options immediately available.
The first is a...
