#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?

How are you staying warm while diving?

Lol I’m in a 7mm semi dry in water at 29c or 85 degrees and I’m comfortable I get in my dry suit around 70-75 degrees

Great video, a better mic would make a world of difference. Keep up the great work 👍

Most of my dives are in warm to tropical waters (though once I did two dives at 14 degree celsius wearing a 3mm shorty and a 3mm wetsuit one over the other). Now I think about dive spots like Scapa Flow. Do you think I can do them in a 7mm semi-dry plus an ice vest?

You could do Scapa like that, but why? You’d need a load of lead, and would still start to feel the cold. Go drysuit and undersuit so you are toasty and you will love the Flow.

@Scuba Diver Magazine Hey, thanks for the quick response! Drysuit cost easily twice as much as a decent semi-dry. Even if I rent one, I still had to get the certification – and apart from a handfull of places up north, my heart is lost to coral reefs.

@Leopold Bloom if you buy a good drysuit you can probably get the course for free on top :)
