    3:10 Do you know about the engineering behind Poseidon's regulators? Especially the Xstream and the Jetstream. The 2nd stages for example feature a servo valve and work completely differently compared to your regular Sherwood or Scubapro regs. One could even argue that Poseidon completely reinvented the regulator, as even the 1st stages work differently. So, to me, they are exceptionally innovative :)

      Just speaking about boots but Poseidon is good gear but not widely know in North America compared to say ScubaPro or Sherwood. I like them all.

    Cool video… might be time to invest in some new boots. Looks like they took inspiration from classic Converse shoes.
    Oh, 02:37 1958, and they can boast with having the title of “Royal Warrants of Appointment” witch basically means a member of the Swedish royal family has used Poseidon gear (in this case the current King). And they are still used by some navy’s around the world and NASA in there NBL.

      Their products are good but not as popular or well know to the average recreational diver. I do like their gear but other brands outsell them many times over.

      Appreciate viewers feedback but its all fun and old guy jokes. You only see one side. When the camera is off we do have lots of fun together. Kevin has been an instructor at my old Scuba 2000 store starting in 2009, we started these RUclips videos in 2015 and traveled the world together diving. As editor, he could easily cut out anything I say about him but he thinks its funny that's how weird we are.

    Hi Alec!
    I watched many of your videos and I find them very useful but I face a problem and I would like to ask your advice ... Possibly other divers to have such a problem
    How can I fix a double tank on a bcd for a single tank?
    Thank you very much!

      Lots of duct tape! It is possible to mount doubles on a BCD without using the typical backplate. Suggest watching this video from my friends at LakeHickoryScuba for ideas: ruclips.net/video/J9V60MAdRlI/видео.html

    Alec I have been looking endlessly for info on a Vintage US Divers Aqua Lung headquarters logo sign that's made of cardboard from the 1960's. I have owned my sign since about 1980. Do you have one that you could give an idea of the value on? I would like to put it in the hands of someone who will appreciate it as I have.....thanks much!

      Scuba stores are doing bad in MX where US tourists have disappeared, I have just been there and it is sad.
      In the other hand, American tourists are traveling within US, spending their money locally.
      Of course, much less people than usual, I would say.

      Thanks John. All the dive businesses in Canada have been hit hard by COVID but Scuba 2000 is still open and training new divers. The bad part is all the travel to warm waters have been cancelled/delayed with is a large part of operators income. Good news is divers still want to get trained, buy gear and are diving locally a lot (till winter). Getting through this winter will be the hardest part for many shops.

    Very flimsy. I returned them as soon as they arrived not to my liking for PNW drysuit shore entry and pulling a dock cart full of dive gear while fully suited up form the parking lot to the waters edge at times having to walkup dirt pathway at an slight incline. You may like these for boat diving and I notice a cave diver used them once on a RUclips video but be warned no support and nut much more than a neoprene sock with a thin piece of rubber sole. May work for lazy warm water boat diving just know they are very flexible. I suppose good for rolling up into checked luggage is about the only positive thing I can add for them.

    • @AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter
      @AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter  4 года назад +1

      Ah, fair point but give their market size compared to other well known makes like Sherwood and Scubapro, being weird does not always help sell. I love Poseidon gear but price and service availability are limiting factors for most in North America. Appreciate hearing your viewpoint.
