@theapm33
@scubadivermagazine #askMark in one of your older videos you mentioned that your backup mask has an anti-fog coating. Who makes them & where can it be purchased? Thanks as always for the entertaining content.

Okay, I gotta ask whats the story behind “struth”? Am I mishearing you? Is that a british thing?
I always thought it was an Ozzie thing!!!
#askmark Is there a convention regarding which arm to use when inflating a dry suit? I have the standard configuration: my inflate valve is located at my chest and my exhaust is on my left shoulder. I have my dive computer on my right arm and, depending on the dive, I may have my slate, compass, and light on my left. I use my left arm out of habit (I was taught to control buoyancy with that side), but I am thinking I should switch it for the right. What are your thoughts? I may take up cave diving in the future, and I don’t want to blind my team by erratically moving my left arm (where the canister light sits).
Usually my right hand does most of the adjustment but, I’m happy to use either, just be aware of your torch beam and where other divers are if you do need to use your left. It does make sense to keep your buoyancy control hoses and adjustment to your left side but, I can’t reach my shoulder dump with my left hand easily.
I don’t remember seeing any rules regarding which hand to use and I can’t think of any strong reasons why your should only use one instead of the other or both. Just be aware of where that torch beam might go if you do need to use your left hand.
@Scuba Diver Magazine I appreciate the answer. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the answer. It was TUSA and it works well!
#AskMark. Thank you for the advice and tips. I enjoy the channel and all the information. I am looking at upgrading an unbalanced 2nd stage to a balanced 2nd to allow for better performance at depth. It is currently hooked up to a balanced and environmentally sealed 1st. The 1st has been great, and I don’t see any reason to update the first stage. If the new second is designed for the same IP, is there any reason to replace the first stage as well? I would prefer to save the money to spend on more diving. I am leaning towards a Deep6 2nd stage. Any experience with that brand? It is a smaller company, but seems to be well thought of online…for what that is worth. Thanks for the help.
I don’t have experience with the brand myself. But, you shouldn’t need a new 1st stage if you’re just trading out a new 2nd stage. It may need a slight adjustment at first so that it doesn’t freeflow, but you don’t need a new 1st stage.
I saw a tusa 2 lens version for about $15 in a dive shop last week and thought about getting one for backup mask too.
