Top 5 Stupidest Ways to Destroy Your Dive Gear

ayeeeee

Ijs, your voice is awesome!

Thankfully i am lucky to be in a dive club that are not lazy and don't do ego. i am very thankful to our technical divers willing to share their knowledge about maintaining dive equipment.

cheers from sweden!

Awesome video. I’d love to see some content on rebreathers, especially someone just looking to get into them. I’m considering rebreathers and as soon as I started researching, I realized there’s just so much I don’t know. Every time I start to try learning something there’s another wormhole to fall into of info I don’t know.

I didn't expect a great facial shot from this title, let alone two. I shall endeavor to be more emotive when next I rinse my gear. 😂

Hey bud, thanks for the video. I never knew we could actually rise bcds out. I assumed it might break it so I only did it once when I came back from a really silty sea dive, and I crapped myself afterwards for a little while, but now I know I can unscrew the BCD inflater hose and properly wash the bladder+dump valve

Those ubiquitous black storage bins, with the yellow lids, are great for most scooters. My Genesis 600 fits perfectly in one and I can soak the scooter and run the prop, both for rinsing effectively and also for burning up excess battery charge for storage.

Would that Alkaline Rock quarry that will tear your gear up happen to be the Blue Lagoon in Huntsville, TX?

Everything you said is indeed correct, it does still baffle me that there are people who choose to be harsh on their gear. We all know diving gear is expensive. And with good care can go for years. Why choose to lets say destroy a set of regs that cost 900 new in just a year or 2

Be careful with pools. Always rinse after a pool session. I have had gear get a copper layer on the metal bits because the pool had a huge amount of copper phosphate in it. That was just one session!

Sometimes I don't wash all my gear for a few hours and I just drive home and do it there instead. I wonder if this few hours is enough to cause salt buildup.

Nice informative video. First video I’ve seen from you. just subscribed.

What fins do you recommend for size 13 wide I can use them with my dive boots but when I try my dry boots I use size 15 and but my RKT fins are too tight

😂😂😂 the cleaning videos

Enzyme cleaner is awesome, drill bit attachment for water agitation and the best tip for tank corrosion is coating them in special sealant. My mom ran into you at the shop.

I am a beginner diver who really wants to start off with the right foot. I've started to get my very first pieces of gear (mask, fins, computer and DSMB so far, not cheap), and I want to take care of them, so I appreciate a lot videos like these where experienced divers like you share some of the things you've learned over the years.
