I'm a diver with a thousand lifetime dives: hold DM, AOW, Rescue, and Tec-40 certs. I bought these pockets to put on my drysuit kit: SS plate, wing, Dive Rite harness. I need the pockets to hold 4lbs on each side, and placed them both sides of my waist straps, positioned right next to the plate. I selected these pockets because I was looking for a small weight pocket with a release function. The pockets are correctly sized for my application. I'm find the red release tab to be a bit hard to manipulate with my 5mm wet gloves on. Also, since it is "dangling" loose on its cord, it's not consistently in the same position. I have to fish for it. Which is a concern, as I only would dump my weights in an emergency. The release feature is not all that confidence inspiring. I feel like I could pull the tab hard, and end up snapping off the attachment point to the buckle and have the tab in my hand and the buckle still closed. Also, if you close the flap over the velcro so that it is tight on a four pound weight, then the flap is to far closed to close the buckle, so you have to sort of hold the flap open, close the buckle and then jockey the flap all the way closed while the velco is trying to grab it as you position it. Finally, I installed these so the pockets opened downward, which you sort of have to do because I'm not going to be able to first pull the release and then grab the 4lb with my fingers and pull it out. So I'm trusting that the buckle and velcro never spontaneously releases the weight. This I am not to pleased with for obvious safety reasons. I'd rather see the red web tab replaced with a hard plastic ball. That would have a more pronounced feel to it. I'd rather be able to mount the pocket right side up, and have the pull function eject the weight as you pull it. I've looked at other 5lb releaseable pockets, even ordered and returned another brand's. I my opinion these could be improved.

As always excellent service from DGX! I Greatly recommend this setup. Everything is contained in one neat, easy to use package. Just slip it over your cylinders, adjust the cam buckle, & your cylinders are ready to stage, add the neck ring, & you're set for sidemount. I do recommend that you keep a couple extra elastics on hand, never know when you're going to need an extra hose retainer! I have several sets of both large, & small. Just another item I've bought from DGX, & That has saved me both time, & money.

Eliminates need for washers simplifying attachment of STA and does not loosen. Easy to loosen/tighten when wet. Worth the money.

These pouches come at a great price, and do the job as intended. I could slide a 2kg uncoated lead weight in and out fairly easily, although it's snug. I couldn't get a plastic-coated 2kg weight to fit though. I wore the pouches so the openings were down when in a diving position, and they stayed closed for a weekend of diving. You will need the larger plastic weight keepers for these; I tried to use the smaller SS toothed belt sliders but with 2kg the pouches can slide over them.

For a non-moldable mouthpiece it's quite comfy, much better than other OEM mouthpieces. The material is pretty soft, I've been trying it with my deco regs and have not experienced any jaw fatigue after long deco stops. It fit my Scubapro reg with no problems. I used a slightly narrower zip-tie than the one supplied for a tighter grip.

Even with the largest size mount, you may find the strap is too short. I typically wear a large size wet glove that is 5mm in thickness and the large size mount barely fits. I recently switched to dry gloves and there isn't anyway the large mount will fit, the strap is just too short. If you don't have large hands or wear dry gloves, this would be an affordable option.

I purchased these in June 2022, Used when I am teaching OW and AOW, so lots of dives after 12 months. I prefer the bungee mounts as they fit everybody. I also like the solid construction although I do keep mine in cases when not in use. Cant go wrong for the money.

I've had nothing but positive experiences with my Kraken Hydra 8000 lights. I took them on a dive trip to Indonesia recently and was able to use them as video lights, photo lights, night dive lights, and even as UV lights for a fluoro dive. Although they do produce a vey wide light spread, they did work well enough as a night dive light...on one dive, I used a single Hydro 8000 as a night dive light and as a red focus light when taking pictures (using strobes). I was unsuccessful getting my lights to fire in burst mode with my camera, but I'm certain that was a user error thing. I may update this review once I figure out why they wouldn't fire, but having that dual capability is helpful if you're shooting stills. They're pretty heavy lights and take up a bit of room when traveling, but I'd recommend them.

I was amazed that such a small and inexpensive part could make a world of difference on a single webbing backplate and wing setup, making it easier to adjust and get into and out of between dives.

Quality clamp with sheath. Impecable service. What else can you ask for?
