how to open the swift buckle..?

Thank you, Bob. This video helped me decide which bcd to buy

I wish we had such a great kit, when I was a child. The quality of this set is almost similar to a top scuba set. When I was a child, I choosed cressi, because their mask were tempered glass too, but sets were mostly cheap made. So you never bought a set, it's great this had changed so much!

Can you compare the Carbon with the Aquaride Pro?

I picked up one from yalls Marietta location the other day and love it! btw the lift on the medium is a little under 36lbs (was listed as 160 newtons in the manual)

Great set, of course you don’t waste your money because you can keep it for scuba diving too, even just as a backup mask. Secondly a beautiful color, I love the color mint, it makes the set even more unique! 🫶

Only Downside is, No Rx Option.

Dive rite is the only way to go.

How much stress do these put on your legs? I'm 65 now and have very average strength legs. Thanks so much.... Chuck

How to change the battery please?

I'm just a snorkel or free dive guy and not good at either and I'm 63 but I enjoyed the video cuz I just found some cheap fins and mask at goodwill and didn't know how the fitting process works , I bought 4 sets for 40 dollars lol, anyway the medium seems to fit me and will try in pool before I go to the Philippines, thank you so much

3:32 that i gotta see.

Thanks Bob. This is the exact review I was looking for as I am searching for a travel BC. Good to see you're still going strong - I was in your first SDI Scubility class ('15). Thanks for a great comparison / review.

I have this BC for a few years now. I had a few issues with its design. First I find it creates a legs up head down position very easily(some web trolls 🧌 suggested I’m making excuses 😮). When I made a video of my buddy having the same issue with his I decided to Halcyon BP. This issue is caused I think because of several issues(my thin body and upper body distribution) with the BC design. Single tank belt adapter. Trim pockets located too high. Too small back plate skeleton. Another issue I had with this BC is the placement of a single air release valve on the left, on the inside of the lift bladder. Makes it frequently hard to locate. The D rings in the shoulder straps are located too high and are too small. Pocket attachment and accessories attachment to the weight insert housing is useless. Overall this BC is good don’t get me wrong but it does need a refreshed design I think to make it great.

I’ve had a paragon for about 4 years and it has been perfect but it doesn’t seem to be fitting like it used to. I seem to be getting water inside now and that’s never been an issue before.

At 9:20, the reason for the screen protector is because Shearwater didn't use a sapphire crystal on the Tern. The Teric has a sapphire crystal, and doesn't need a screen protector because there's nothing on earth outside of diamonds etc. that will scratch it. Why didn't Shearwater use a sapphire crystal on the Tern? Only they know. Cost is no excuse, as there are plenty of very cheap ($100) wristwatches that use sapphire crystals.

Hello Bob, like you explanations but if you can do some videos on neutral buoyancy suit like Sharkskin, Bare, Enth Degree and how they differ from neoprene wetsuit, it would help alot! Thanks

So what is DNA? Other than that very informative. I rented one like the way it breathed. But what is DNA?

Can you do Scubapro Seahawk 2 review. Thanks

Thanks for your videos. I got more information to make the right choice.

Do they float?

This was a really great video on this BC. I was having a hard time understanding some aspects of it just from pictures but your explanation was great. I hope you keep making videos like this for years to come. Your knowledge is appreciated!

Nice Video. Best regards from Germany

Dive masters at the recreational level are absolute garbage. They have no idea how to maintain good buoyancy, cannot helicopter turn or backfin, and cannot dive anything other than a single tank. To those that actually want to become better divers, look into GUE Fundies and some form of Advanced Nitrox/Decompression Procedures. As a cave diver, the training needed to be a dive master is sub par and I feel unsafe around them.

just deployed to Guam and on my weekends I've been out snorkeling thank you for your video it helps I might just have to buy the good ones and bite the bullet on this next paycheck because once I'm out in that water it will be well worth it getting to and from shore faster

I ordered Aqualung ABS. Looks like really neat design, can't wait to try it.

Can you use regular OdoBan?

Thank you very much for the video, I have been looking for a video that talks about the Cressi A1 for some time... Excellent

I bought the Bare Velocity Ultra 8/7mm Semi-Dry Wetsuit for diving in Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, Washington State, Pacific Northwest. The water temperature here ranges from 45F in winter to 55F in summer. My Bare Velocity Ultra keeps me warm down to about 80 feet in winter. Beyond that in the winter, I need a 2/3mm vest underneath my wetsuit. In the summer, nothing else is needed down to 130 feet. It has a Front Zipper Entry, a Built-In Hood, and a 2mm neoprene internal pullover for the front zipper area.

I Infact bought one of these a few weeks ago but the transmitter keeps disconnecting from the computer so its currently away being examined. What size bungee cord does it need? Once i get it back im bungeeing it.

I would like to try one. Finances at the moment

Like always Bob, excellent 👌👍 product and presentation.

Great video. Great Doxa. Thanks Bob!

It would be great to specify the buoyancy of each fin model. Based on my experience: the Avanti Quattro is a soft fin, slightly negatively buoyant. Many of my diver friends like it a lot, but I find it soft and not powerful enough. The RK3 is a very soft fin, not powerful at all when you need to kick. It's nice for control but lacks power. The Oceanic Manta is my favorite fin; it's an all-in-one honestly. They are powerful, easy to control, and neutral to slightly positively buoyant. They have a tremendous kick in the current. I should note that this is my personal experience in the Red Sea, so it could vary according to the different salinity levels of the water

Over the years I went through Ceos, Paragon S, Intega and now Zensee Pro. My current favourite is the Zensee Pro with Intega as the backup mask, but all others still live on (which I can't say about masks from other manufacturers). I just leave them in different bags or pockets: Pool bag, wetsuit bag (tech shorts) and drysuit.

Is that a storm or a storm Max? Big difference

Thanks for the presentation. The BC looks complicated. I personally prefer a 'simple stupid' BCD. I've been using Scubapro Litehawk for many2 years and never thought to replace it with another model. Although the look doesn't appeal to most divers, it does the job very well. It comes with two small hip pockets which can only used to put weight. I replaced it with larger pockets and now I can put my SMB, dive hook, and gloves there with some extra space for more items.

I have 2 15 liter DIN bottles, but also those inserts, and one yoke-bottle do din-regulator adapter. I like the DIN regulators. Much compacter and they come across as a much stronger connection to me. Such 25mm 'bolt' won't be easy to break.

I have been diving the Freedom HD, it's now my backup as I just got the Paragon S. Going to try it out in Cozumel in June

Got the Tusa Zensee

I uses a Genesis Rx Mask. Interestingly Tusa Lenses fit. I like them better. Don't have the Contour on the sides. I wear a -5.5 both lenses. And the Genesis Lenses have a Contour ring cut in them. Causing an Optical Effect in the lower outer corners.

I bought a Tusa mask last year and I love it. Time to upgrade the wife’s mask. Thanks for the great content

Great info!

hello

True, if I learn from someone with a high knowledge, let's say level 10, my knowledge would have a huge benefit, so I would start with the knowledge of level 9 or 10, while if I get a teached by a new instructor I may keep the same level, or maybe less, because my knowledge was already higher. So why not learn from them best, I know risk can be dangerous, but the best Instructor I had until now, knew how much risk isn't dangerous, so he let me do, then he say what I should do better next time, I guess this is the right way to teach. Give the student time to fix it by himself, let him maybe struggle a little bit. Of course not too much, this wouldn't be fair. Where I benefit from letting me struggle: BCD: I tried left arm first, which was stupid. Boat: first BCD then fins, very stupid. But he let me do, he smiled a bit, because he knew it wouldn't work. May I'm wrong, but if I were Instructor I would let them do for a while, as long it's not dangerous.

I impulsively bought a mini randomly. no regrets. oh and this review was awesome. now i want a pro!

Master... the i3 is a good systen option?

Do you know if the bladder is replaceable?

Great information

Still love my HydrosPro for travel.
