    Help! Broken Wetsuit Zipper (O'Neill 7MM J-TYPE)

    I love it! Used it for 2 years now and it goes great, I dive year round (nothing crazy, just AL80's) usually 35-60 minutes of bottom time between 35 - 100 FSW and its worked great for me. I'm planning on upgrading to a drysuit someday but for the time being it works great.

    Help! Broken Wetsuit Zipper (O'Neill 7MM J-TYPE)

    Halcyon ACB weight pockets, where to buy?

    I realize this isn't quite DIR but its halcyon gear and they make DIR equipment, does that count? I am looking for a retailer, online or otherwise that carries the ACB weight pouches, the only ones I can find are in the UK do they sell them here?

    Oceanic Regulator Voluntary Recall

    I found this out when I went in to the shop today to get my tanks filled for a good day of diving :( Luckily I had to get a new LP hose installed and they caught that my regs needed to get repaired. Needless to say, no diving today, it was kind of a bummer. I almost rented regs right then so I...

    Alki Question

    Thanks for all the great help guys, I went out with my two buddies to give it a shot. As of the beginning of the dive I was deemed the leader since I had taken the time to print a map and do the research on here. We decided to drop in and head towards the boundary line, then follow the boundry...

    I have a OMS IQ Pack with a rather large bungee'd wing and would really like to work towards eventually switching it out to a Hogarthian rig, the setup I have now is just a bit much for me (a ton of D rings, straps, buckles, and a wing that is way bigger then I need) It am planning on pulling...

    Hey all, I have done a few dives now at Mukilteo T docks and Edmonds Underwater Park, but am wanting to go check out Alki a bit. I understand that we aren't supposed to cross the boundary line into the passenger ferry area, that has been made abundantly clear. I have been doing a bunch of...
