    STA vs. STAless bp/w

    I do the same thing- I add a little 2lb weight to my top cam strap (well used to do the bottom one, just started the top, still adjusting and tweaking). All you do is put in on the cam strap and close the velcro. Been doing this for about 20 dives or so and no issues. Also, I dive a DSS rig...

    California Diving (Monterey Most Likely)

    Russ, You cannot just rent a dry suit- well you can, but you need to be dry suit certified first! :-D. I too just got back from a trip up to Monterey. Some beautiful diving! I'm already a cold water wetsuit diver, being from San Diego, though some up north would probably disagree with the cold...

    Secondary reg bungee'd around neck?

    I dont- the long hose is for donating of course. Perhaps I stated it incorrectly? The octo is for me!

    Secondary reg bungee'd around neck?

    I'm no expert by any means (26 dives) but after reading through this forum and making my own decisions this is how i do it. 6' primary, under right arm up and around neck into mouth. octo goes under right arm clipped onto right D ring. This works for me. Have air shared and its quick and easy to...

    Hollis BP/W

    I second the plug for DSS (deepseasupply.com) After getting certified (went through school and had about 14 dives and advanced cert) I decided to buy my gear. Had been reading on here about the bp&W the whole time and was slowly realizing i hated the way the jacket wrapped around me. Bought a...

    Hose for Hog Set-up

    Hi, I dont have very many dives under my belt yet (20) and not too many with my DSS rig (torus 26 + ss + hog and about 6 dives) but here's my opinion. I'm pushing 5' 6" 155lbs. and used a soft measuring tape to figure out that a 5' hose would be too small. I didnt like the idea of tucking...

    Backplate and Wing Questions.

    i can echo the praise of Tobin. He spoke with me on the phone for about 45 min (maybe longer?) until both he and I were satisfied that I was getting the right product for my type of diving. I got the SS backplate, hog harness, and torus 26 wing for like 500? with taxes and shipping? Pretty good...

    DSS Torus 26 and OxyCheq Mach V wing

    I only have about 5 dives on my complete DSS setup with torus 26, but so far i love it! i 2nd the breakdown after the dive, its great to separate the wing from the plate so as not to damage the wing. 2 cam bands is fantastic as well. Still trying to get used to the dump and the short inflator...

    Hand signals for remaining air

    I like the idea of just simply showing the gauge/computer and pointing at the object you're talking about, i.e. depth, or air, etc. this way you know exactly what they're talking about...
