Well the title says it all, I was suiting up for a dive on Sunday when the zipper on my wetsuit broke, the zipper is separated and it is missing a tooth. I was hoping to get another year out of the suit while I am saving up for my drysuit. Is this something you can get repaired? I could find...

Hey all I am looking for a good basic wrist computer here are my preferences: - some kind of "bottom timer" mode incase I ever actually take a fundies class - ~200 range - simplicity, functionality, low profile, and durability are all a plus - nitrox capable Here are the two I was thinking of...

I have a question for you all, I currently have a scubapro mk25 1st stage and its got a yoke connector on it. I eventually want to get into tech diving and am going to be needing DIN regs, if I get the converter to convert my yoke reg to DIN is that just as good as me buying a DIN reg right out...

I am working on assembling my first hog rig and had a couple of questions: 1) I noticed that the DSS site and included instructions suggest to put the buckle on the left side, this is different then other suggestions I have seen that put the buckle on the right side right? Is there just two...

After piecing a few things together I was able to put together my first BP/W set-up on Wednesday it went really well, I dove it once yesterday and twice today and I have to say it was really amazing. The rig: OMS SS backplate, HOG harness, 36# halcyon pioneer wing, I mainly dive single AL80's...

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?

I am currently not a DIR diver but definitely desiring to head that way, I have a wing in the mail on the way to my house and a already have the BP, so I will be assembling my harness here in the next month or so. The question I have is in relation to the specific rigging of the harness, I...

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...

Well, I finally made it out today, was able to piece together the last of my gear and make it out in the water today. Went with a more experience diver and one other guy that hasn't dove since he did his cert dives. We went out to Edmonds, swam out to that pole and then dropped down, I think I...

Hey all, so far I have been plaguing the boards with newb questions but as of yet I haven't said hi to anyone on here. I realize this is most likely in the wrong forum but wanted to also just say hi to all you PNW divers (I am located downtown BTW) I recently was planning to get certified with...

I realize this has been a subject of great debate but I have a fairly specific question regarding the issue and hoping this isn't too much of a re-cap I have a OMS BC with IQ pack harness, it came with an Air2 attached to it but I also have a separate octo already on my reg setup. I know the...

Hey all, I am fairly new to diving but have found this board to be extremely helpful. I have done a fair amount of searching and reading but have a pretty specific question. I ended up getting a completely amazing deal on a OMS BCD w. IQ Pack and Stainless Steel Backplate (like under $200) it's...

Hey everyone, I am brand new to diving, just got my PADI OW certification last weekend. The good news is someone gave me a regulator set-up! My newbiew question is this, the previus owner had a dry-suit so there is an extra hose coming out of the 1st stage that I won't be needing. Is it...
