I don't always carry a knife but I do keep an "EMS" type shears (scissors) with me. They will cut through anything, harness straps, slack fishing line, even cut thin aluminum with them before and they don't seem to ever get dull.

That idea for the snorkel is fantastic!!! Thanks!

[ABCDiver]

great tips!
trilobite cutters also have pouches that slide on to the BC straps, very handy.

Great video, I'm new to diving and just bought a BCD, your tips are extremely helpful. I subscribed and look forward to more of your videos.

How about replacing nylon cable ties (sun oxidizes) with stainless steel?
Also, using LCD inspection camera to view the inside of bladder of BCD ( vest, wing, etc.? )

Great job! I like the bolt snap trick.

I don’t use back plate but have a couple of different BC jackets and one of them lacks of D rings and the few it has are in such an awkward place. However the rubber bands ideas is gonna be a way to fix some issues I’m having. Thanks a lot! Cheers Mate 👌🏻

Yep. Your local bike shop will be HAPPY to give you as many used bike innertubes as you can carry. It's not only the frugal choice, YOU'RE RECYLING!

In my "ouch pouch" I carry (1) Cat 7 tourniquet, (1) swat-t tourniquet, (1) vile of Divesoft Fluorescein Marker Dye, and a glass survival mirror.

You should replace your zip ties on your snorkel with bungee. That’s how I roll

Great tip with the rubber bands.
Love the channel 😁
I recently returned from Mexico, spent 2 months diving the cenotes of the Riviera Maya, these are now under threat from the" tren Maya" a railway under construction that will loop 1500km from Cancun to Tulum, cutting through the jungle and directly over the cenote river system.
The environmental impact on this sensitive biosystem will be catastrophic, there is nowhere else in the world quite like it.
Although work is suspended for the moment ( due to action from a group of cave divers) the Mexican president is keen for the railway to be completed by December 2023.
Would it be possible for you to do a video about this issue to raise awareness among the diving community.
Many thanks👍

Great video and helpful thank you as I'm just started up diving again 😊

[jdstimson]

Hell yeah dude! Pumped on your channel. See you in K-town next week! Gonna come down from Alaska and warm up from all this ice diving.

QUEST.- How much was the mini dive light?
Where did you purchase it?
Thanx.

[LucasLMaldonado]

Could you please share the link of the diving flashlight (compact torch)
Thanks

Any tips on adding attachment points to recreational jacket BCDs? I need more clip off points or need to add a D ring inside one of my pockets at least

[jodeci]

Just found your channel and subscribed, great video. Do you know where I could find those clip-on lights I clicked on the link in the video but they're not available.

[benheckendorn]

Great hacks, I personally just wouldn't recommend zipties. I would love to see a part two, I'm sure you got few hacks more since this one. 👌👍

Hi, great video! On which plate is you Apeks wing mounted? Apeks is out of stock for plates in Europe and I have no idea which alternative brand I could mount the wing on...
