Hey new friends 👋🤿🌊☺️

[8mb]

I have the Peregrine, but not the TX. I think you’ll be very happy with it. Very easy to change settings and it doesn’t reset to default over night (a problem you don’t hear about until you own one that does - and it’s very frustrating).

I also dive a Zena. It’s not BP/W but it’s close. It’s made for women and if you add a crotch strap it’s pretty amazing. You can order it so that the pieces of it are sized perfectly for the way your body is made. I would recommend going through zeagleexpress.com if you decide to go with a Zena. I suspect most dive shops don’t really know how to size them, and if they do, they don’t have each of the components in different sizes. The folks there are great to work with. If you are interested in a crotch strap they can add one for a fee. I wish the Zena was already made with one.

When you are looking at BCs, including BP/W do make the effort to try them on WITH a tank attached. I bought a BC and loved it … and then put it on a tank and hated the way it sat on my back. The straps bit into my breasts and it was terribly uncomfortable.

That is very good feedback, good point, thank you! I’m going to try to find a dive shop that carries them to check out and order one if I like it. I would assume dive shops rent out different bcs to try, maybe I’ll do that the rest of the summer months to see my options and/or if I’m waiting on the Zena to arrive

But that’s great advice to try it on with a tank, I would have gotten lost in the sales sauce and forgotten all about that.

I don’t see why not! This calls for exploration!

 

[Chiefvest]

definitely will! You use a UV flashlight?

Hopefully underwater is your new happy place like it is for most of us here

It is, it really is. We did half of the certification open diving in the quarry today with little visibility after the rain and I didn’t want to leave. Looking up at the sun through the water even 20 feet below…it is so peaceful.

Yes, I just got one off Amazon because they had it and the dive shop didn’t - it has bright white, soft white, red, and UV - works great so far

Thank you for the feedback! What is diving dry? I was interested in the Zeagle Ranger but I’m going to keep looking. I’m mentally passing on the aqualung lotus, it’s just uncomfortable for me. So far I have fins, mask, snorkel, dive comp, underwater UV flashlight and regulator figured out.

Just need 7mm wetsuit, hood, gloves, BC, tanks, and I’ll be off to Lake Superior to rock hunt!

And I don’t need to worry about all that but I’m not one for hiding decisions anyway!

Drysuit diving.

My Introduction

 

[happy-diver]

Maybe it's a bit like meeting someone new and they immediately rip off their clothes
No more intrigue so you turn back to your beer

although I also envied your position but would certainly take you up on your offers if I were over there

and it was bedtime when I read it last night and had totally run out of steam

I even dream ScubaBoard, is there no repose

I learned from Non-Americans that traveling can be very inexpensive.

I quite enjoyed this but bought a home on the ocean instead to make it less expensive still
