Is that bourbon in your mug? Just curious because I love a coffee mug of bourbon while watching DiveVibe videos. I’m a bottom shelf basic bitch. Thanks for the great content as always. Hands down my favorite dive content/reels!

😎👍Cool 🤿!

Do you REALLY call them "cir-clips"? I've always called them, and heard them called, Jesus-clips, because they have the annoying habit of flying off into whatever room you're working in and cause you to blurt out "Jesus!" Maybe Boomer can illustrate. ;-)

DSV? For us non rebreather types.

You asked so my two cents as someone that watches a few scuba youtube channels like DiveTalk, Azul Unlimited, Dive Saga, and a handful of random folks just posting their POV dives: Don't do reaction videos to videos of other people. I do like reaction videos, however, the model doesn't make a bunch of sense to me because the content on the channel is dependent on the quality and availability of videos other make for you to react to. Truly my favorite reaction videos from DiveTalk are the ones they do of their dives. I get it though that to react to your own videos you have to have the time and availability to film content and that is such a large ask for scuba especially I imagine if you are being a guide/instructor all day and that content may not be filmable. Something constructive and additive: You are good at just talking to camera, and you live somewhere that I want to see more dive footage of with someone who knows the area. Not sure how to balance being a professional scuba dude with putting out YT content though seems like there aren't quite enough minutes in an hour for that or even hours in the day.

When is the Sidewinder 2 coming out? Are you getting trained on the Sidewinder 2? Do you currently dive the Sidewinder (1)?

lol I saw ur gaming pc in another video. What do you play? Subnautica? Jk I play CS2 a lot:)

Also I'd rather quality over quantity anytime on videos

As you get your skills increased and comfort level gets better then got for it. Took me a while to work on my BCD same thing for moving lines around on my regulators .

Who is she, anybody????

Any thoughts on the HOGTotal Buoyancy Control System Package with 32lb wing? Buying my first bcd and going back and forth between the HOG, DGX BP/W, and or just getting Zeagle Stilleto (despite the weight system). Recreational diver. Will be diving Nor Cal plus warm water travel diving.

i use them for over a year now in Europe (Greece ) ive done over 500 dives on them 2-3 daily as is my job..and regs are amazing not to mention about abuse ??? i took them on a commercial trip that we did on scuba, bang them on tools rocks etc they still hold strong and we finish together the scuba season. I dived them in uk at Capernwray on 6 Celsius they breath absolutely as it should!!! i have Poseidon xstrems on sm conf they gave me headache at every dive.i used in uk apex xl4 they was ok i have aqualung titan lx it is ok..but the nex they are on a different level

This needs to be redone now they have the Tern and Peregrine TX out now.

Wow, awesome song and absolutely perfect for the video. Thanks for introducing me to a new artist! I LOVE anything that has that underwater sound.

Do you play CS2?

Many don’t know this, but Huish is the parent company to all of the following: Atomic, Hollis, oceanic, BARE, Seattle and Suunto

What about damaging the lens? If the lens is on the bottom, wouldn't it get scratched when it hits the rocks?

0:51 - Dude, we all watch your videos for this EXACT reason to add more gear to our Gear Intensive Hobby

👍😎🤿🇵🇭! More cool stuff to add to more cool stuff!

I just wish ONE of these sidemount BCD manufacturers would offer a model with leg loops instead of a crotch strap. I know, cave divers probably consider leg loops to be a “snag point”. I call BS. If you are diving naked, then yes, the leg loops might be potentially considered a snag point. Otherwise, leg loops are no more a snag point than whatever is covering your body. Someday, someone will produce a sidemount BCD with leg loops. The crotch strap is lame. It’s a major chafe point. I’m supposed to use an inferior strap method because some guys who shove themselves into holes think leg loops MIGHT be a snag hazard?!? Well, leg loops MIGHT POTENTIALLY be a snag hazard to a very small population of people. Meanwhile, the crotch strap IS lame ✅ The crotch strap is a significant chafe point. ✅ /rant off

How does the NEX regulators compare with the Deep6 signature series? If you have experience with the Deep6 can you please create a video? Thanks

Nail clippers are also good for cutting zip ties and less conspicuous for air travel. For sidemount I also carry a 5/16 nut driver (MUCH quicker than a flathead screwdriver or multitool) to quickly set up my clamps (more secure to use clamps than the cam bands) and with the nut driver i can set it up so quickly, especially helpful on a boat. Also for keeping consistent measurements super quickly on at what height on the cylinder to place my clamps, I have a string pre-measured to hang off the valve and it hangs to the perfect length. So I don’t need to measure. I also carry extra of the following: bolt snaps, extra contact lenses, duct tape, silicone grease, o rings, lithium AA batteries for my shearwater, EZ cut, mouthpiece, ear drops, mask, bungee, multi tool, Allen keys (especially the size for removing yoke inserts on tanks for DIN), zip ties, reef-safe sunblock, extra dsmb and spool, backup light, hair ties, and seasickness acupressure wrist bands. I have different pouches for each category of item- for my body, for my gear, and in the water (which i carry in my butt pouch).

In Southern California where atomic is headquartered, every dive shop tries to push every new diver to the atomic split fins. The only thing they’re good for is kicking out on the surface during surf as we often need to do long surface swims in choppy conditions during shore dives . Less cramping. But in the water they are useless for frog kicking, which is what you’re supposed to do. And they’re too big for travel.

I bought this light too. It's awesome for the price. Smaller than I thought. Would be great as a helmet mounted light. Compared it against some of my other 3k lumen lights and it's better than most of them.

Been diving mine for about a year. Air & Nitrox. Dig the layout and mods that can be made so I can see everything I want and nothing I don't on a single screen. And, of course, shortly after buying this one, Shearwater came out with the Peregrine TX w/AI. Which worked out perfectly as the point of trying this one was to gift it to my wife once she received her OW cert (which she has! woohoo!) and I would upgrade to something else. Well, my upgrade is going to the be the same dive computer just with AI...because I'm a numbers nerd and like that kind of stuff. Great content, by the way! S/F - RWB

That's a pretty decent idea. I use a sack trolley with a ratchet strap for mine, but I can see myself making one of those to put in my dive bag.

I love your sense of humor😂

Nice video:) one constructive comment is maybe make the video full screen and have you in the PIP in the corner next time. I like your reaction tho. Thanks for the video! Also, why is the reg so squeaky?

This suite has been on my radar since I signed up to get my open water cert. During my 2nd check dive I got to dive with a few people doing there dry suit dive. And it just so happens that my dive buddy that I never met before had bought this exact suit. So naturally I had a lot of wisdoms. He mostly could not answer them because.. well hey this was his first dry suit! I was informed by him that he was able to take advantage of a sale ( believe it was around Christmas time last year) and got a super discount. All this being said thank you for the video about this suit! I can not wait to do my dry suit course in a few weeks. Then purchase hopefully this hollis dry suit at a bargain this winter!! I dive with the hollis m1 and I am in love!!

came across this and it is a good video but I think there needs to be a little context here. I have been diving for ten years. Not much by many people's standards but, none the less, I would point out that this is abit biased to the technical diving side of things. I am not a technical diver and connot speak to their point on these issues. As a rec diver I would say you should listen very closely to their concerns that caused them to down rate certain brands. They aren't wrong, but do your care if HOG made a bade side mount BCD if you are a rec diver? there are sveral other examples like this. good info. shouldn't be discounted. just should be put in context. listen closely before just looking at the graphic and choosing. that said, i really agree with their Suunto comments. My sheawater dies and I was given a Suunto by the dive shop and OMG it was so loud, hard to manipulate and so conservative I cannot believe I completed more than 2 dives in a day.

I’ve used an Ogio backpack for years to travel with my sidewinder. The one I have is big enough I can even pack my can lights in it.

He says help and this guy is like what is that?

Look at Yuhsin regs, I believe they are made in the same factory and yuhsin makes these regs, very popular OEM/ODM in Taiwan. Same design first and second too, just a different face plate.

Love the vid. Definitely bought one as the price can't be beat. I recommend buying through the link above because I assume it's an affiliate link and it helps our guy out so he can keep making great content.

Totally just did an impulse buy after watching this video! $36 on their website right now. Fingers crossed!

I'm really impressed! Delivered Friday, dove it Saturday. The light auto dims with a low battery. I didn't find it too hard to lock and unlock using dry gloves. Just use the pinch and twist.

Thought itd be silence 😅😅😅

4:40 One time i ran into this glitch where i would clip through the floor in my Prawn and this was the only way to solve it without losing the save. You just keep falling and jump out to repair the Prawn halfway.

I was comparing what I've spent in gear vs my brother and omg. I've spent a TOTAL of around £1300 only, including bcd, drysuit, regs(apeks) and two tanks, fins mask and hood included, and wing for twinset+ another two 2x12L for the twins, another set of regs(Scubapro), jet fins + free weights. (Price doesn't include servicing, and the gear is not old or rusted). My brother has spent thousands in basically the same but buying first hand, but only has two tanks for side-mount which he uses for normal dives as well. He was pissed😂. I'm one of those who's always trying to find bargains, and trust me, there are many out there, just make sure you know what to buy and ask people who know better than you if it's worth it. My instructor and ny brother still can't believe how much money I've saved (and keep saving). Good luck everyone, it can be done!

Great review! What size battery does the light use? 18650?

I use their 3-led version - absolute beast of a light.

Another well done vid! Worth a spare backup at that price. Will get on your patreon soon, want to turn my MK6 to a mechanical rebreather, now I am on a 7.

Wreck dive videos 🤿🤘🤿

I'm using my wife's resoning to buy this. With the sale and discount it basically cost me money NOT to buy it! Thanks for the reccomendation!

Sorry for the question but first I love the videos but why are your videos always dark?

Yes those are UDTs
