Hi, I have a Henderson 3MM women's wetsuit that I got around December 2022. I love it, and have taken it on maybe 4 week-long or longer trips since. I just got it out for an upcoming trip, and found some seams are unraveling, and one seam seal is coming off. I got this suit new as a warranty...

Hi all , does anyone have a service / repair manual for a cressi Galaxy R 2nd stage? I could find one for the 1st stage (T10SC) and Octopus (XS Compact), but not this main 2nd stage.

Hey y’all, I bought a used Waterproof D7X Nylotech drysuit, and overall it is in good condition. It is about 2 years old and has about 60-70 dives on it, so plenty of life left. After trying it out for the first time today, the wrist seals leaked a bit prompting me to turn it inside out to dry...

Hello, First time actually posting a new thread. I have a (new to me) Halcyon focus 2. When I got the light there was a slight rattle from the canister and discovered some solder that had come undone, I also broke the head off the negative battery contact. All easy issues to fix except its at...

I just bought a pair of latex gloves to use with my dry suit. They are great gloves, but they are very slippery. Does anyone know of a good product to add grip to my gloves? I was thinking something like spray on PlastiDip but am open to other suggestions. Thanks!

I have recently bought an Orcatorch D710 torch and it worked fine on the first couple of dives. After the last one I tried to take it apart to remove and recharge the battery. I'm not sure how but I managed to unscrew the head instead of the body that I intended to. According to the manual...

Hi all , does anyone have a service / repair manual for a cressi T10-SC cromo? I would like to do my own service / repairs. I am a mechanical engineer by trade and would like to do it by the book if possible. Thanks

Hi guys, I bought a used drysuit recently, it was a great deal and the suit looks fab with the exception of the boots, one more than the other. They are both starting to come off at the front. There are no leaks or at least I have not noticed any in my first dive. That being said, I would like...

I worked at LDS a few years back and was certified through a manufacture for their gear. I want to start servicing gear again but what insurance is required for me to have? I assume some sort of liability insurance? I know dive instructors have insurance but what about service repair...

The push-to-speak button broke. I plan to use a similar threaded water proof button as shown, so I can go to a female pex/pvc pipe and back to the same threading of the original. I am just unsure of what wires after tinning should make their way to the microphone? does the shielding need to...

Hi everybody, Due to cracks on the plastic cover of the light, this leaks during dive... Not identified before... So I will replace the body and I'm trying to repair the board. I first remove the residue of oxydation thanks a paintbrush and a small component has unsoldered. The ref is Q600...

Hello, I have an older dive rite 905 suit that developed a leak in the crotch area from the melco tape coming undone. The adhesive on the flap under the tape is lifting up as well, the seam stitching looks to be fine. I was planning on DIYing the repair until I removed some of the tape and saw...

I’m a little worried about the plastic fin strap retaining pin design. I figure there is a chance it can break, I will break it removing it, or in the event I lose it on the boat changing a strap out I’d be hosed. I’m considering my options since SP told me they don’t sell the pins separately...

I'm trying to see if I can give an old oceanic delta 2 regulator a second lease of life. I took the regulator apart and cleaned everything (soapy water followed by vinegar for the metalic parts that needed it). I want to know if the regulator is salvageable/safe to use considering the state of...

Been having lots of issues with a trailer we bought last year. One of those is there is not a way to mechanically lock out the brakes when backing up when the electrical override from the backup light fails. Here is my $6 solution.

I have an Apeks Balanced Pee valve installed on my drysuit. I have done a leak test on the suit, and i have found that the pee valve is leaking in water between the sealing gasket and the pee valve plastic nut. I know this because I can see water forming around the pee valve ring when i do a...

I have two old DiveRite dive lights. I purchased a new battery (PS-1229) and moved the wiring from the old battery to the new one. Testing both lights, one works, one does not. They are probably 20 years old, canister, halogen (I believe). For the one that is not working, anyone have any...

Hello! I'm replacing my Diving Concepts metal front entry zipper that failed at the shoulder. What recommendations does anyone have for the best replacement zipper? I'm looking for durability. I want something that's not going to fail for as long as possible, but also be usable (front entry...

A friend of mine accidentally broke his housing, and we live in Thailand. A push-button was broken in 2 pieces as attached pictures. 1) Can I order the push-button, c-clip, and o-ring to replace it myself? 2) Which SKU number should I order from Ikelite? Regards,

I'm trying to find a class for the TDI/Hog regulator service course. Does anyone know of a listing for instructors that teach this? Ideally I'd like to find a class close to Southwest Ohio but realize that may or may not be possible. I've looked on the TDI and Edge/HOG websites but don't see...
