I have the heated gloves 2.0, and in winter doing dives at 5° and scooter rides are comfortable. Without them my fingers would freeze. But an extra liner over them is not needed. They also let you stay warm even ifnyour gloves flood.
For my light setup (cordless BugBlue TL5200P) I can fit 5 or 6 cookies on the side of the bungee which I love. The backup light can fit if there are no cookies, but in exiting the cave do you just start shoving the cookies you pulled in your pocket?
Yes, we teach to only store the markers, ( we only use REM’s ) temporarily on the light head. Like if you know that there is a T coming up. Or if you know you will be making a jump. On the way out we can pick them up and stow them on the light, while taking out the pigtail from our right pocket and no transferring the stowed REM onto the pigtail for yes to stuff them back in our pocket.
Thanks for your comment, even though that Razor handle is a nice product. We can't really use the bungee system for stowing the light and placing markers temporarily. Also when your primary light is a canister light that needs to be stowed.
I use a cannister light (Nanight C3) and I have a razor adaptor mount for it. The soft handle stays on the wrist but you can twist the light to unlock it from the glove and stow it away. It’s very easy to add bungee to the glove to stow cookies onto it temptation per your use-case. Not a razor shill, just a product that solved a problem for me.
It is highly recommended, we always promote it. In my time as a UTD Instructor I checked each and every tank for CO. My tanks and those of my clients. Some, fortunately few times I had a positive result. In all of those cases there was a portable fuel powered compressor involved.
Very useful video thank you. What are your gloves and where did you buy them? Finding a good glove is a nightmare, either too thick and no dexterity or too tight with heated gloves.
Interesting that some things would be tested twice (I'm assuming, for example, that you breathe off both second stages during assembly and then obviously breathe again during the match), but others wouldn't. A video of your assembly procedure would be good to see. Thanks for the reply and the content!
Thanks for the video. Good job! I would like to know what brand these gloves are. Im looking for white drygloves for ages and can´t seem to find them anywhere.
no not really, but I would hope my team will notice that mu crotch strap is dangling. However the p-valve might not be a bad idea. Don't ask me why I know that 🙂
I never take my wing off because of the hassle of putting it back together, but I think I’ll start just to save some space. Maybe a video on quickly assembling after you arrive? The more tools I need the more likely I’ll forget one and be stuck haha
Wow!! One of my first “tech diving” video I ever saw and brought me to this type of dive was from you long time ago.. see you diving in my “backyard” is amazing!! I’ve been there the last fee weeks multiple times.. it would it be an honor meeting you!! Cheers
this is nuts, 50 failure points everywhere, to bulky, the purpose of completely isolated tanks left and right is gone, to much going on, this is absolutely not for caving. you don't want to switch regulator with sidemount?, stay with a double tank backmounted. IT's nice you try things out, but make things better, not worse.
Hi, I've been diving with "Fin Clips" for several years now, & really like them. Just open the clip, throw the fin on the deck, slip your foot in, & put weight on your heel, done. They really come into their own on a dive boat, easy on & easy off.
What type of legal release form do you have to sign when you buy that first product? 🤣 I can't believe that they not only invented that but thought well enough of it to buy a booth at DEMA to promote it.
