Here's to swimming with bow-legged women,

We have had alot of new members join, so I thought I'd dig this thread up and see just what all of you are diving with. My gear is basically the same, except for the addition of 2 PST HP100s, since the Mrs curtails my gear buying.

[Green_Manelishi]

After reading some of the gear in use, I have only one
comment/question:

What's a "snorkel"? ;-)

 

[Lost Yooper]

Greetings, the following gear treats me pretty well for deeper cold water wreck diving:

-- Halcyon SS BP, harness, and 65lb wings. Great!

-- Double LP PST 95's, 300 DIN Sea Elite manifold, and Highland Mills bands. Great!

-- Single Catalina AL 80 with 300 DIN H-valve for shore dives. Great!

-- 14cf Argon Bottle. Great!

-- Apeks 300 DIN TX100 on 7' hose with a Zeagle T50D back up. Great!

-- OMS brass pressure guage. It works!

-- Abyss Pro Kevlar dry suit. Great!

-- Bare Extreme underwear! Pretty good.

-- Aladin Pro dive computer used as a bottom timer with a Times Reef Gear dive watch. The watch is good, but the computer is on the chopping block for a Uwatec bottom timer.

-- Cressi Sub Big Eyes mask. Not sure yet.

-- No snorkel. Great!

-- 40 cf deco bottle. Great!

-- A few 80's for stages and deco bottles. Great!

-- Halcyon 80lb lift bag. Great!

-- Homemade spool that resembles the EE spool. Great!

-- OMS primary reel. Not too impressed.

As always, there's probably a list twice as long as this of stuff I still want.

Take care.

Mike
