#askmark Hi Mark, congrats on this new channel. I'm using the new Apeks WTX-D30 + stainless steel BP. I'm diving in warm water and zero weight belt, can dive comfortably, no issue, 0.5mm wetsuit. Question, when i did my weight check before decent, it's not eye level, instead it went underwater suggesting that I'm overweight. Is this normal and should i increase my buoyancy by getting thicker wetsuit?

#AskMark I was able to get a ahold of a MilSpec MTX (not the R or RC), and was mostly looking to use it in tropical water. In the past Q&As you have mentioned maybe getting MTX-Rs adjusted for summer time use, What should I say to the technician in order to get it tuned for warm water diving? Is it just dialling the Cracking pressure out?

Hi Mark, Thanks for the extremely useful videos. Do you store your dry suit with the zipper open or closed? How do you hang it / store it? The manufacturer of mine recommends storing it with zipper closed (Fourth Element Argonaut 2.0) yet instructor and other divers recommended storing it open for less tension/memory in zipper. Thoughts? Thanks.

#askmark hello! so to be clear. I have been using an Oceanic Alpha 10 Octo with my Atomic B2. Is this not good? Frowned upon? Or is it just a warranty thing?

Thanks for great content as always Mark
It would be great to see diving videos with you in it. Do you plan to upload any dive videos anytime soon? I've never seen a video where you dive.
2: Do you know of the brand Tecline? Care to review some of their regulators maybe?
#AskMark Hi Mark, all Twinset configurations I’ve seen, including yours, only have a single SPG. In my mind I assumed that you would need one SPG for each cylinder to give you a reading of pressure in case you need to shut the valve of the other cylinder? Thank you! Rui
#AskMark Hi Mark thank you for more great informative information, quick question wanted your thoughts on the PROBE
IFLEX SEMI-DRY SCUBA or PROBE MENS IDRY WETSUITS vs other wetsuit manufacturers pros and cons, use will be Australia, Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Phillipines, Malaysia and the like
I dive a Tecline B&W and I’m pretty happy with it! Not used their regs yet but my instructors also tech technical diving and swear by them.
👍
#AskMark I hadn’t heard that you were expecting. Congratulations!!! No question. Just that!
Do you find a difference in the amount of ‘clicks’ open a Drysuit exhaust valve needs to be for Sitech vs Apeks? Just got a new suit that has Sitech as they said they couldn’t get hold of Apeks. Also, how many clicks open or closed to you have it? #AskMark
18:20 Hey, congratulations! Is the bubble maker course for little Mark jr. already scheduled?
I’m pretty sure they’ll find their way into scuba diving when they’re at the right age.
Although, one of the guys I used to teach with had three kids and none of them wanted to learn
@Scuba Diver Magazine Ah, scuba dads are coolest (except for some of the teenage years)! 😄
For longer term storage I close the outer zipper, as that keeps the main zipper in a fairly normal position without zipping it an additional time adding wear and tear. But TBH that is pretty rare for me, as it is either zipper open hanging up drying off or packed in my crate to dive the next day.
