technical diving

This is purely for fun... So much diving gear, especially that branded to be technical diving gear, is dark or black. I now read the word sometimes as technicool (similar to the tactical --> tacticool boom over the past two decades with military gear). Why not bring some color to your next reef...

Hey folks So next year I'm planning to finally step into technical diving. I'm completely new to this part of diving and don't have any friends to ask. I plan on doing it abroad and have been considering Egypt, Malta, and the Philippines for quite some time. Now obviously I care about proper...

Service manuals don't mention anything when using Trimix.

Hey guys. I currently dive the Apeks WSX and I'm due for an upgrade. I'm looking for a comparison between XDeep stealth tec 2 and Finnsub Speleo. I know quite a lot about the XDeep and how it works but don't know much about the Speleo. XDeep bias aside (I know XDeep did a fantastic job at...

Hello, I am moving so I am putting up for sale my ULWD LD-35 with sidemount gland and 107 battery of which I am the original owner. This is an amazing light and works flawlessly. I always rinse down with fresh water after diving and have keep the light stored in a climate controlled room of...

Hey guys, I just started diving twinset. Before that I did most of dives using sidemount since I did a lot of my dives in caves. I read many threads on this forum about twinsets. I found a lot of people think stability as a pro for backmount double. But I found my double 'rolling' on my back...

I have been looking into Greg's Wall divesite in Madagascar. It seems to be very remote and only a few dive operations in Nosy Be seem to have it in their "menu". I have sent some emails but got no response yet so I was wandering if anyone here had been there. It seems that there are plenty of...

Hi all! I have the Aqualung EZ on dry glove system. It's pretty much a dry glove that you pull over the wrist wring and pull over a rubber ring seal. Would you recommend investing in a proper dry glove system? To my knowledge a glove leak is a suit leak. With the EZ on glove system if I get a...

Hi all! Just got an Apeks KVR1 drysuit. I need help with undersuits for 2 types of diving: 1) I need an undersuit for diving temperatures between 14C and 20C. I know because of the double layering of the kvr it's quite insulated. So if an designated undersuit is recommended- which would you...

Happy New Year Scubaboard, I am (PADI rescue diver, 82 dives, based in China but will return to Germany in 1 years) looking for my own 1st and 2nd stages incl. Octopus. Out of the ScubaBoard search I concluded that there are multiple regulators which are favored by different persons depending...

So, I've been diving for a couple of years and have logged 72 dives. I have always been comfortable underwater and can also perform decent freediving. When swimming in the sea for fun I'm ok with going down to 10 meters to explore and hold my breath for a minute, comfortably coming back up...

Computer and regs were just serviced and battery changed. Tanks have fresh annuals. I'm unwilling to sell the set in...

Last weekend we finally had the perfect fall weather window and were able to do a dive that we have been planning for quite a while. So in honor of Halloween here is the accompanying video from our dive on the wreck of the Sarah Ellen that sits in 300ft of water in Lake Champlain. The Sarah...

So I finally decided to actually MAKE an account here after scrolling through thousands of posts over the years. I do enjoy how social media has made it super easy to find dive buddies and spots, but for someone to actually log into here and post something shows a little more dedication, I've...
