    Yoke Replacement

    I have a Dacor regulator system and there is a strong leak out of the yoke. The second stages still work fine but because I can’t get parts for that company anymore, can I take the hoses off the old yoke and put them on a different brand yoke?

    Plastic zip repair on Dry Suit

    I have a plastic zip on my dry suit but sadly the zip has broken recently. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in repairing these? The Zipper is only attached to the bottom zip and not to the top one anymore.

    Question When to Repair Drysuit Seam

    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...

    Diving Equipment Technician

    Hello everyone. First off all sorry if that’s a repeat, so feel free to point me to the right thread if I’m to blind to find it myself. Because of the corona virus my industry completely shut down and left me out of work. And frankly I don’t see it picking up anytime soon (I’m sound engineer)...

    Glue/Adhesives for drysuits

    I've got a mix of components for replacing neck and wrist seals, permanent cuffs, dry gloves, and various repair/mods. I was planning to install the SiTech permanent wrist seals and neck seal, recycle some DUI zipseals, and probably install a pee valve later this season. When it comes to glues...

    Zip seal cuff tear - repairable or replace it?

    Just got a used (built 9/2004) DUI CLX 450. It has the Gen1 Zip Seals and I was inspecting the suit this morning. The neck collar seems good. The wrist cuff, one of them has a small split on the outside. I guess this is to be expected for a 15 year old suit plus storage technique. Something was...

    Dive Rite Nitek Q screw dimensions

    Hello, I've bought a 2nd hand Nitek Q as my backup computer (I plan to start cave dive training) and unfortunately, although it didn't have a single scratch, the B (right) button wasn't working. I've noticed that it's just a problem with the button itself and not the (hall effect) sensor so...

    How well should you know your own gear? (in-depth fixes)

    So let me set the scene for you: You're on a liveaboard getting ready for a dive. You hook up your first stage to your tank, tighten down the yoke, slowly turn on the air. All of a sudden, you hear a pop and a slight hissing. Uh-oh! You turn the air off, slowly purge the system, loosen the yoke...

    Drysuit YKK Proseal BDM zipper tiny leak - quick fix

    I have a snazzy drysuit that has been flooding the last few dives. Entry point seems to be the zipper bottom stop. I can feel a little water trickle in when I descend. At the end of the dive I have a few cups of water in my neoprene socks. This happened twice before when I didn’t properly close...
