You do what you have to do.

Don't be silly. I'm not offended by the Mk11.

I like titanium because it's: 1) Pretty 2) Corrosion free 3) Light 4) Has its own special place on the Periodic Table 5) Cool I started out with watches where the light weight really does make a difference. I know that a Titanium regulator is hard to justify for practical reasons. But I'm sure...

My yoked Mk-11T weighs in at 469gm (or ~ 16.54 oz) with rubber stopper and port plugs. DIN I dinno. You should get an idea from @Nemrod 's post above.

Contact an administrator. A good start would be to list your old offers/wants as completed.

Dive Gear Express!

Perhaps packing in luggage can put unnatural stress in the FFs? When packing mine I am careful to pad the fins to maintain their natural curves.

Take a careful look at the point where the low pressure air enters the plastic body of the second stage. Old US Divers plastic seconds would often crack at this point. Also keep in mind that the first stage is unbalanced. I regularly dive the USD Conshelf first stage, but keep an Aquarius...

I like DGX because it is a no nonsense company that will sell you service kits with no strings attached for a fair price. They also have clear assembly/ disassembly videos for their regs so you can do it yourself.

I dive a Perdix and a Garmin Descent Mk1. They both use Buhlmann and track very closely. I like the Garmin because it gives me tactile alarms for ascent rate and a Nitrogen loading graph for quick reference.

AOW and Nitrox will open many doors.

Are you an experienced above water photographer? The limited DOF due to the long focal length combined with close working distance might prove frustrating. You might have problems locating and keeping your subject in the frame. Shots of larger subjects will require longer working distances...

Don't be put off by Piranha's high published shipping charge. He will bill you at his actual shipping costs.

I wear socks with my sandals if it's cold or I'm at formal occasions. Strangers address me in French. I once apologized to my seat neighbor on a flight for my foot attire. She said in Denver such footwear is referred to as "Chocs n' Sox".

Not a good idea. Long, potentially rough crossing. Deep bottoms. Unpredictable currents.

You're right. If it is consensual, and the parties are familiar with common procedures and capacities, there is minimum risk. I was thinking of the situation described in the OP. Expecting non emergency free air from strangers is at best presumptuous and rude.

I think most everyone agrees that chronic, casual air sharing is a bad thing. There is some flexibility in opinions on how to correct the situation.

This is another one of those Scubaboard things that basically comes down to personal preference, comfort level, and convenience. As I said, I personally don't feel comfortable with the idea of a combined inflator/ safe second, and I've never felt burdened carrying a traditional octo. But for...

I look at completed sales on ebay. I'm looking for that $25. g250.
