Hey Mark. I have an XTX50 and I find it a bit heavy to travel with. I think you dive XTX50s? How would you compare the XL4 Ocea? Wondering if it could be a good regulator to switch to for travel as I believe it's a fair bit lighter (and may also help with jaw fatigue on longer dives). Thanks!

#ASKMARK Buying a 12ltr scuba tank (e.g. Faber steel cylinder)... I have an option for Air or Nitrox, if I want to use say standard Air fill (21%) and then sometimes up to say 36% Nitrox fill. Do I need to specify an Air or Nitrox tank. Can I use one tank for both Air and up to 36% Nitrox and what does the cylinder need to be (Air or Nitrox). If I buy an Air tank can I switch to anything below the 40% Nitrox or do I need Nitrox tank when buying? Or do I need it cleaned for certain fills below %40

Hey Mark,
Congrats on your new job :).
I was wondering if you prefer a metal or a neoprene Goodman handle for a primary dive torch and why.
Also, for the stupid question of the week, can a wetsuit be too thick for certain water temperatures? For instance, would diving in the Red Sea in a 7mm semi-dry be a bad idea?
