Diver trim Puns

Second edit: SOLD!

Edit: on hold pending funds

album Unfortunately this is a catch and release for me. Thought I'd wear it for a while as my first diver, but something else ended up catching my eye during the wait from Massdrop and I've just bought myself a high school graduation watch, so this has to go. This PVD and gold trim model sold out very quickly so here's your chance to get it if you missed it the first time or want an Evant Tropic Diver look. I took off the protective front film for a few minutes just to get a better look at it and to take some of the pictures, but the back film has never been off. Comes with everything as you'd expect from Massdrop.

Can't find these anywhere but the Spinnaker site where they go for $410; I'm asking $3̶0̶0̶ $̶2̶6̶5̶ $250 OBO, PayPal and insured/tracked shipping on me as it should be.

No trades anymore sorry.

Did I get your attention? Great! My original kit for diving included an Atomic B2 with an SS1 integrated inflator. At first I was in board with this, as a new diver of course, and I was on board with it being better for trim, how it breathed the same as the B2 (which isn't that great anyways), and how it reduced failure points (that's a turd hoagie I have to eat). After putting 100+ dives in, reading different books about better SCUBA diving practices, and interacting with Tech and Cave divers about their kit, and experiencing an odd failure underwater with the setup, I now realize these integrated Octos are a terrible idea, especially the SS1 and I speak from experience, but also not as a dive professional who has been hardened by dealing with crap for years, so someone in the middle who has learned from experience of making mistakes, but still being unbiased. I'll start with my own observations:

1. It breathes like crap, sorry, not sorry, even the cheapest crappy Octos breath better than an SS1 for a fraction of the price.

2. As an inflator, it's ok, for deflation it kind of sucks and I don't know why, but others have said it's not that great either, not a big deal in open water.

3. It's not at all comfortable to use, and along with using it for my Rescue course I have used it as my backup when donating my primary three different times when divers were out of air at 60+' of water (Yay for insta-buddy), each time it was just uncomfortable to use since it's attached to not only a LP hose, but the more rigid corrugated hose.

4. You want to attach an accessory to the hose using an SS1 (horn or say the Analox flow restrictor)? Too bad, it's not a standard fitting, this is an inconvenience, but one to be noted

5. It doesn't remove failure points, it increases them. In fact, it doesn't have to be actual SS1 which fails, you have other points along the way that'll take out not just your inflator, but your secondary air source at the same time, which leads to my experience.

While under water it was time to deploy the DSMB, I grabbed my SS1 and realized the LP hose was disconnected and attempted to reattach, but to no avail, it simply would not close on the fitting. Worked around this inconvenience and got back on the boat, same issue. Upon further inspection I realized there was a small gasket on the inside, no idea where this came from and it wasn't just going to "pop" back in place, so I took it out, then I was able to attach the LP hose, but now it leake

Hello! I have been renting the fins until now and would like to purchase a pair soon. I have narrowed my options down to the 4 below.

Diverite xt

Oms slipstream

Apeks rk3

Scubapro jet fins

I am...

A female diver

165cm height

160 lbs weight

Dive with BP/W

Dive with 10mm torso / 7mm limbs wetsuit in cold water (will upgrade to dry suit eventually)

Socks+shoes

Rather floaty feet

I would like a pair in orange color!!!

When I was learning how to dive for the first time I was doing the horizontal trim naturally and everyone was surprised. I didn't know what I was doing. I was a competitive swimmer when I was little so I think it was just because I am very comfortable in the water. But now I'm thinking maybe that was because of my floaty feet?

Anyhow, my instructor recommends the jet fins and I like them too, but I know all of them have different buoyancy, etc. so I would like to hear more opinions!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 🙏🏼

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Whenever Ive been out of the water for a while it feels like I gotta remember to breath slowly and not suck air and go through a tank in 30 minutes. Is it a matter of taking long slow breaths and just maximizing the exhale? How do y'all get as much bottom time as possible out of a tank?

Do your worst!

Let’s say you expect a tank to be filled at 3500psi, at what point below that is it acceptable to ask for a different cylinder? Is 3400 nitpicking? Is 3200?

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Christopher Walken

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

And boy are my arms legs.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.

I won't be doing that today!

This is probably an obvious question, but I noticed a little tidbit on what the back-inflating BCD is good/bad for, and they mentioned snorkeling on the surface being harder, because of the good trim. Is this true, or just an unrealistic issue? As a shore diver, sometimes there's a good distance we have to snorkel to get to the good stuff. Just wondering before I decide on a $300-500 new BCD.
