Great tips James. As a new diver, never would have even thought SMB needed to be taken apart and rinsed.
Great tips. Good for new diver but also for divers who have years of experience and neglect their equipment. Great info. Keep up the good work. Watching from Dunnellon FL.
Great tips James, as an instructor I love the series and I've been recommending it to my students.
Thanks for the tips James! I do some of these tips on gear maintenance but all of them. Thanks for sharing!
Great content Mr. James I have gained a lot of knowledge from you thank you for the entertainment and being a mentor diver.
After a dive, my first wash is my BC, and I use a cleaner like “Slosh” or another enzymatic cleaner. After my and my wife’s BCs, next in go the wetsuits, skins, booties, gloves (same water/cleaner). Then goes the accessories like you’ve mentioned here. Two questions. One, is there too much salt in the cleaning water? Two, if changing the water, is it better (worse? unnecessary?) to put cleaning solution in the water for knives, spools, dSMBs, etc? The cleaning solutions are not cheap, but neither is kit/gear. But I notice you just use fresh water (but maybe longer rinses).
I think I learn as much from paying attention to what you don't talk about. ie. winding a spool with a drill. Nice. Excellent video Sir

Yeah, that was neat. We'll need to get a judgment on whether or not masking-tape-on-drill-bits is HOG approved
Love the tips, I really enjoy the videos. I will absolutely make it to FL and bring a couple beers.
Great products ,thanks for the tips James
Nice tip on soaking and rewinding the reel line👍

Thanks for the tips James. I can see the mk2 is already out of the box and in your wrist.
The music JAMES!! The music!! AWESOME!! Thanks!!
So much still to learn ... good stuff!
I think my torch is the most expensive piece of gear I own, so is great to see them pop up in the care guide!
Thanks for the tips James! As usual.....of great use! 👍👍 Starting tomorrow night my night dive speciality(water around 11°C🥶😂) Exited as a kid waiting for santa! 😂😂 Keep that awsome content comming!!!
One maintenance item you forgot on that reel is the locking device, sand and salt can get into it. So work it a couple times underwater to make sure that it is cleared out. This isn't as much of an issue with reels that use a screw type locking device. But on those unscrew them often to make sure that they haven't corroded in place. "This reel is expensive, it starts at $100..." more like that one starts at $149, and is $165 for the larger sizes. And between primary, safeties, and jumps I have too many of them. I would never take one of them into an openwater environment with a doubleender. I would use cave line to tie a traditional bolt snap to the hole, or at the very least tie some paracord to the hole, and connect the doubleender to that. Connecting a doubleender to a hard surface like that is how you lose a $165 reel to poseidon.

just a little tip i put in a small aquarium pump or power head to move the water around in my rinse tank to move around the water to help get rid of the gunk
Regarding knife maintenance, one thing I do that I’ve heard should be good is: After cleaning and drying knife, I give it a layer of olive oil to add an additional protection from water next time it gets wet.

Try using mineral oil or fluid film to get the same effect with an oil that won't become rancid like olive oil.

I use a waterproof silicone grease. It stays on and I've had no corrosion problems since I started using it.
@nilotubes

reason for olive oil is that it is not polluting the water same way as mineral oil or silicone. Haven’t noticed that it’s getting rancid, I just make sure I give it a proper cleaning every now and then
Great tips, thank you!
Remember that Lithium batteries last longer, if stored only partially charged. Charge them the night before the dive.
Thank you for great videos! 🤙
Appreciate you James!
I'm beginning to realize I had no idea how to properly maintain and store all my dive gear... 😭 Thanks for all the info!!!
Love the Dive Rite reels!
Great start to a day off. Going out to hack a bungee across my dive gear crate at once!
Love the Union Jack

Hey James, great videos!.....Have you done any on drysuits? I live in Los Angeles and dive with a semi dry 7mm and still get cold, even during the summer. So do you have any advice on choosing a dry suit?
Hey James I’m wondering if you have a place where your viewers can ask questions besides these comment sections. I’m buying my first reg and first stage and the local dive shop where I did my open water certification is not a Scuba Pro dealer, they only sell Aqua Lung, Zeagle, Sherwood, Atomic, etc. I know you’ve recommended a Scuba Pro G260 second stage with a Mark 17 first stage, but I’ve never heard you recommend a Zeagle or Aqua Lung. The shop owner tells me to go with the “Zeagle F8 hands down”. What is your opinion on Zeagle and specifically the Zeagle gear vs the previously mentioned Scuba Pro gear. Thanks for all the informative videos, I’ve learned a lot from your channel!
What do you think about ultrasonic cleaner bath for electronics?
Hi James, thanks for another great video! Do you have any tips on how to dry the DSMB after rinsing it? I imagine it must take a really long time for a closed DSMB to dry if the only air entry is the valve.

Yes I do! The trick is to put something inside the tube that separates the two panels. I've found that dice work really well for this and you can spread them along the tube and recover them easily.

I know this is a bit off topic but I just got the Apeks WTX 30 wing and the corrugated hose is too long. I was going to switch out to the 12" hose but now am wondering what size inflator hose should I pair with the new 12" corrugated? If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
Using a power drill to rewind a spool? ;)
When and how will we know who won the gear?
Would adding flow to the freshwater soaks have any benefits?
@DiversReady

Yes, absolutely. But ultimately a good long soak is better than a quick dunk with flow.
watched an older video where you mentioned sea sickness followed by 'i should make a video on how to prevent sea sickness', did that video ever get made? asking for a friend, honest.

Any recommendation for reels with handle for a dive flag?
James, Once we have washed our gear, where should we store it? Is there any concern that storing gear in non-climate controlled settings (garage, shed) will lead to it degrading? For reference, I live just up I-95 in West Palm Beach, so it's always warm here. My biggest concern is the extreme heat of the summer months.
