Latest Podcast Episode from Scuba Diver Mag

Mark Newman

I’ve been scuba diving my entire professional career in both beautiful crystal clear waters of the Tropics to the not-so clear waters around the world. Diving up in the Arctic Circle and marine conservation work down in remote Madagascar. As a full-time scuba Instructor I taught divers in both warm and cold waters and lead countless dives.

But, my main specialty is dive equipment. Since 2010 I’ve been working with a wide range of scuba diving brands and 8 years working for one of the largest scuba diving retailers with hands-on experience with cutting edge dive equipment.

#ASKMARK Hello Mark, while out diving recently I talked to an experienced diver who was diving with twins but did not have any manifold on them, i.e. each cylinder had a first stage with a primary and an SPG. One cylinder had the low pressure inflator for his BC. What are the pros and cons of a manifold setup versus independent twins?

What's The Point of Independent Twins? #askmark

@nickthomas4567
#askmark if using a transmitter do you still need a spg? I do on my main, but not currently on my stage, a transmitter only, it’s a new setup so after a little advice. Thanks Nick

Can I reuse the nylon nuts (locking nuts) on the xDeep Zeos after disassembling it for travel? Would you recommend using wing nuts if I need to disassemble it often? Any downsides to wing nuts except that I need to check them every dive? #askMark

Yeah you can, they will degrade over time but you can re-use them. Wing nuts are more practical if you don’t have any tools available.

It’s best if they’re marine grade steel so they don’t rust after the first dive. I tend to use wing nuts on my backplate and I’ve never had a problem with them. They’re usually recessed enough that they don’t touch your back or wetsuit.

@Scuba Diver Magazine Thanks, I did exactly that and bought A4 grade wingnuts. Cheers from Rangiroa :)

I have the Thermiq 8mm semi dry and it’s amazing! I am looking at these new dry suits.

Honestly, Ursuit, Santi, Fourth element, Waterproof, Bare, Otter… are brands for buying a drysuit, apeks made one just to sell it, it doesn’t look special, they are making good regulators (I’m diving twins with two DST and xtx50), they are not to go brand for drysuits
