Scuba
Last week on a scuba trip communing with some adorable garden eels.
Ronan (now 13), John and I all dive with backplate/wing because its easier to modify/fix and get in an airplane with this setup…though one of us gets stopped through security atleast once a trip because we put all our scuba kit + one set of skins + toothbrush + 1 set of clean undies and a brush in our carry on in case our shit gets lost at the airport we can still dive.
Last week was the Nassau, 2 dives a day for 5 days (including Ro’s first scuba night dive). Such a good time. Ro and I are SSI, John is PADI and In going through NAUI this fall to get some more technical dive training.
My kit
Atomic ST1 + M1 octo regulator
Global analog depth gauge/compass/spg
26 lbs subgravity paragon wing
3mm aluminum plate (2 lbs)
Harness is just my own configuration of 2” webbing with scubapro s-tek monoprene shoulder pads and 1 hip pad (cant fit two hip pads on my rigs)
Tusa intega silicone mask/tusa snorkel
Cressi prolite open heel fins
Scubapro delta 5mm boots
3mm OMGear neoprene socks+ .5mm Spacefish Army socks (my feet get cold)
Spacefish Army compression skins (long pocket bottoms + zipper top over CRZ Yoga racerback two piece bathing suit)
+6lbs of weight in two backplate mounted pockets by subgravity
Oceanic vt3 divecomputer w/transmitter (attached to tank so you get real time tank stats for safer diving)
