What's her prescription? If it's single vision and you can get within a half diopter, I'd use the premade lenses.

I guess he felt he could pretty much tell everything he needed to know for that type of suit by examining it and donning it on the surface. It fit him, had the lining he wanted, and the seams were obviously of good quality. A suit with zippers and high tech materials would presumably be a...

Achim likes his:

Don't schedule the discovery dive. Snorkel with him. If he gets into it, which is very likely, and you can see he's not freaking out, you can ask him if he wants you to sign him up.

If it's single tank for both, you don't need to change anything except the amount of lead. A smaller wing will be a little more streamlined and easier to pack, but it's a minor difference. And all an aluminum plate does is cut your baggage weight. The one exception might be if you are going...

Great. It seems like everyone does it a little bit different and I don't think we've had a recent thread.

Yes. But not as much as you are hoping. What matters is how much negative buoyancy the fins contribute. In other words, their weight in the water rather than their weight on land. This comes out to about 500 grams for the pair. You then have to add or subtract whatever your current fins...

Just wanted to point out that it's the altitude, not the number of wings that matters. :) Some biplanes can get pretty high:

I have my own question on definitions related to the Internet usage of the term "trolling". Does it require an intent to cause unproductive argumentation? Or is simply raising a topic that is both highly likely to do and off topic for the forum sufficient?

If you do, please let us know what you think of it.

Nothing special. Instead of using the velcro, I've got a loop of bungee attached to the end of the DSMB. It's long enough to go around twice so it can't slip off one end.

Alimentary means you can eat it. It does not mean that it's safe to breathe.

I don't have any pockets on my wetsuit or backplate. If I'm bringing an SMB, I clip it pre-assembled with its spool to my right hip D-ring at the start of the dive. Once everything is sorted on the bottom (and after checking that it hasn't unrolled), I move it to one of the holes on the edge...

I did my rescue course in a BP/W as was my "victim". Removing it was no problem. Just pass the first hand and arm under the shoulder strap at belly height. My instructor was surprised at how easy it was. He had an extra BCD sitting in his truck in case we couldn't manage it with the backplates...

If they can make enough service kits to satisfy all the hoarders concerned divers, they might be able to get through this after all.

Thanks for the info. Scubagaskets obviously sourced it from somewhere. That it is a PRC company instead of one of the big Taiwan OEMs certainly tempers my enthusiasm. Not that I doubt they can make the products, but it all comes down to their quality control processes. I guess we'll find out...

I think that's a copywriting error. It says silicone everywhere else. For example "Food grade silicone mouthpiece with a reusable mouthpiece clamp" and:

European o-ring and service part and tool provider Scubagaskets has just launched a new stainless steel balanced piston reg with turret. https://scubagaskets.com/product/regulator-scuba-gear-set-octopus-stainless-steel/ It comes with a pair of adjustable second stages and an SPG. Price through...

Mares has the same policy. But they wanted DGX to sell its XR line of regs. DGX wouldn't do it without being able to sell the kits. Result? https://www.divegearexpress.com/service-kit-parts-mares-xr-regulators The joke is that all but one of these kits is a standard Mares reg kit. The XR...

Hate to break it to you, but you are only $1.95 less then you can get it from a dealer. And they throw in a free BFK. https://www.scuba.com/p-csbsbc/cressi-scorpion-bcd-limited-time-with-free-skorpion-knife
