    Question Apeks WTX-D40 BP&W harness cut by backplate

    I don't know if I'd take that bet - Stainless is a heck of a lot harder than plastic

    Hollis Ride power inflator replacement

    Never heard of it - which doesn't mean much, but their site says they are located in China. I'd be looking for dealers in the US. I still think a picture would be helpful to see what you currently have. My Hollis wing has what looks like the same 1" hose as in the video I linked above. I'm...

    Hole in 7 mm wetsuit

    My wife has a similar hole in her 7mm suit. LDS gave me an almost empty can of neoprene cement plus some 7mm scraps from their wetsuit alterations. I cut a "plug" to match the hole, cemented it up and it worked well for quite awhile (then we upgraded suits).

    When to change Oceanic Geo 2.0 battery

    The manual says "When the battery is removed, settings and calculations for repetitive dives are retained in the unit's memory while a new battery is installed." Which I take to mean tissue loading does not reset. I always changed mine before dive trips so I can;t actually confirm this is...

    Oceanic Geo 4.0 Rust Damage?

    I went with a Perdix non-ai (I like my analog SPG). It's fantastic - absolutely lives up to the hype. I don't get to dive anywhere near as much as I'd like to and I still think it's worth every penny. Takes regular AA batteries and would be very difficult to mess up a battery change compared...

    Oceanic Geo 4.0 Rust Damage?

    Terrible - my Geo 2.0 flooded a while back and I had no choice but to replace it with a Shearwater - just awful. FWIW - which is pretty much nothing - those screws on my 2.0 are definitely stainless. It's dead body is still in my drawer with corrosion free screws

    Any reason to avoid scuba.com?

    Buy wherever you like, but DC Aquatic Specialties, Inc. is listed as a shearwater dealer and is located in Merrimack NH

    Question DGX vs Halcyon - big difference?

    At the risk of being pistol-whipped, I too will call shenanigans. The DGX looks a lot like the old DSS wings and I don't recall anyone complaining about "less stability". I'm pretty sure people were big fans of the slim profile.

    Cressi faulty BCD?

    Not in my experience - mine have been stainless and never rusted but i certainly can't speak for all K inflators. Hey Scubaboard - is everyone else's inflator button spring rusting?

    Cressi faulty BCD?

    Certainly your prerogative to prefer manufacturer specific inflators. I personally prefer the OEM that's and cheap and easy to find if I need to replace it. The K inflator that most wings use isn't made of anything that rusts

    Hollis Ride power inflator replacement

    Do you have a picture maybe? From what I see online for the Hollis Ride, it looks like it has a standard K inflator. For example

    Info United Airlines not showing Bonaire as destination....

    I'm aware winter goes from December to March - I was reacting more to the January date in tkaelin's comment. if I wasn't already going there in the fall, I'd probably go for a late march / early april trip

    Info United Airlines not showing Bonaire as destination....

    one of those Wed-Wed flights for 500 would be great if the idea of flying from the northeast in the winter wasn't so terrifying

    Hollis ST wing?

    I have an older 25lb and it's never given me a problem. One thing to be aware of is the cam band slots are just big enough for straps to fit through. No issue if you use a Hollis plate, but if you use a different brand they may not line up with the plate slots so you'd need an STA

    Solved: Classifieds down?

    The classified links at the top of the Exposure suits, BCs, and regulators subs are broken. The other gear sub classified links look OK links as found in the gear subs: https : //scubaboard.com/community/link-forums/ure-suits// https : //scubaboard.com/community/link-forums/ators// https ...

    Will Oceanic Geo 4 replacement strap fit the Oceanic Geo 2?

    This is mostly speculation but I'd be surprised if it fits. I used to have a Geo 2.0 (which I flooded after a battery change) and the space between the computer housing and the strap pin is very tight. The 2.0 strap ends are molded to fit snug in the 2.0 housing. Looking at a Geo 4.0, it's a...

    Re-fit a discontinued BCD

    Can you clarify your question? Are you asking if the Aeris bladder will fit the Parkway? If the 60 lb bladder on the "outlet site" will fit the Aeris (or Parkway)? does the bladder on the Aeris not hold air (if not, why did you buy it)? If it does hold air, why do you think you need a 60lb...

    Hollis 22ST vs any wings between 18 and 23 lbs lift

    Not the new 22ST but I have to old 25 which appears basically the same other than the slight capacity difference and shape. I've never had a problem with it in around 12 years. I recently fully disassembled it a month ago and the bladder looks perfect. I did have to replace the inflator but...

    Fast Moving Coral Disease Alert on Bonaire

    I watched that coral die as well. There's now quite a few corals that are bleaching in view of that cam. Seems like an excellent place to test the antibiotic treatment since it can be monitored constantly
