    Forget manual labor. 'Use a Sonicare toothbrush to clean my mask.

    I can't tell if this is a trolling joke, or a brilliant life hack

    I do the same and my mask rarely fogs at all.

    #askmark What are the top 5 adaptations / customisation’s you’d recommend making to your kit? I know you’ve shows the spool loop before, but was wondering what other tips you’ve got?

    Yeah, the finger spool is important for me. 1. I always carry a backup mask after being on dives where other divers have lost their mask. I put a large O-ring around one buckle so that I can clip it to something. 2. I attach boltsnaps to most items so that they can be attached securely to a D-Ring. 3. I always bring more than one hood and gloves so I don't have to put on a cold, wet hood for dive 2. 4. Custom hose lengths are important, the standard length hoses are fine but, they're one of the first things that I change on a regulator. 5. Spring heels and fabric mask straps are my new standard. I'll see if I can think of any others...

    @@ScubaDiverMagazine Agree with all of the above, but would add dive your gear for 25-50 dives before you change anything, otherwise somethings you will just end up changing back. Rule No 3, is like always double tap from Zombieland, you'll only appreciate it once you've done it. Rule 2 is supported by a bungee cord is essential part of streamlining your wing bolt snap items.

    Hey #askmark you forgot the most important item to maintain, your lead weights. They get banged up way too much on dive boats so you need to really give them a good once over and take them to your LDS for a check - most will do a hydro on them for free.....

    what law says a qualified technician must do your servicing in the UK?

    Manufacturers will only send certain parts and service kits to authorised dealers so it's hard to get official parts unless a dealer fits it for you

    Manufacturers would throw a fit if they looked into the vintage & DIY forums where every single O-ring, circlip, seal, and seat material is cataloged with modern industrial supply house part numbers. Some people are even making their own diaphragms out of stockings, washers, and silicone.
