Who knows what the CG did to it to test it, I just know it took them over two years to return it, so everything has to be inspected.

You raise a good point. Maybe you should be sure to specify to the people who are doing the inspection that they should be alert to this.
 
NO WAY!!! The worse karma EVER. NOT ME!

There's no such thing as karma.

Yea I would dive with it. If I die I want my gear split between my buddies :)

That's just your karma speaking.

This question doesn't present a dillemna for me. what does bother me sometimes though is whether I should dive with gear from someone I've killed.

No it isn't. There's no such thing. :)

Sure, why wouldn't you?
 
I have a set of doubles with a dead guy's name written in very large letters on the side. Apparently these actual tanks were involved in a fairly well known incident.

Cannot say it bothers me but people do ask about it all the time.

I did drain the air when I bought them.

You have such weird Karma to say these things. What did you do in a past life anyways? :)

Sure, why wouldn't you?

Evidence? I guess I could say I just found it.
 
I already have. A friend of mine died several years ago diving in the Bahamas. I bought some of his gear from the estate. I bought it to help keep him in my mind.

My best friend died diving the Lowrance here in Fort Lauderdale and I bought as much of his gear as I could afford from the estate and I still dive it all the time. I've even had other folks that bought his gear give me first dibs on pieces they bought when they stopped diving and sold off their gear.

It's like I'm still diving with him :)
 
Thanks for the opinions, right now it looks like the deal is going to go through so I'll have everything I need. His friends have told me that he'd want the gear used.

I'll be scrubbing his name off the tanks and everything will be going in to get checked, cleaned, etc. It's been almost two years since it's been used, so the tanks need visuals anyway, regs need servicing and so on.
