    Sold! SOLD - Diving Magnifying Glass - SOLD

    For 2024 the 1099-K reporting threshold for PayPal was if total "goods and services" payments exceeded $5000. For 2025 the threshold is $2500, and for 2026 the threshold drops to $600. I wouldn't want to pay income tax on personal property sold regardless of how much I sell, but as a buyer, I...

    Sold! SOLD - Diving Magnifying Glass - SOLD

    While some consider frequent visitation and posting on ScubaBoard to equal being part of a community, most are still faceless entities posting from behind a keyboard without any "real world" contact with those they "interact" with on these forums. That said, asking for puchase payment via...

    Sudden Flooding of Ultima Dry Glove

    From the standpoint of casual observation it would seem you are guilty of the same with regards to pullover gloves...just because it is simpler, cheaper, whatever, and doesn't involve rings "does not mean you need to defend it to the death" either. Let's not trip over our own bias while calling...

    Velcro Nightmare - Saving my Henderson Thermoprene Pro

    There is a type of velcro that the hook side will not grab the neoprene, it will only grab the loop side.....if you ate going to take your suit to a seamstress, have them replace the current velcro with some of the stuff I mentioned instead. -Z

    Sudden Flooding of Ultima Dry Glove

    The o-rings mentioned in my post quoted above are not for replacing the red o-rings...they are for replacing the black o-rings that come with the Ultima ring system to retain gloves on the glove-side rings. The red o-rings are sealing the glove-side rings to the suit-side rings. There was a...

    Trying to better identify old regulator set

    If you are only diving once or so a year, then it may be wiser to rent than bring your Mares Ruby setup back to safe usable condition. Contact me by direct message through the board if you are interested in selling your setup...I am interested in the Ruby 2nd stage and might be interested in...

    Trying to better identify old regulator set

    Your 1st stage and primary 2nd stage are a Mares Abyss 22 Ruby. The Ruby model used their SCS type valve in the 1st stage. SCS stands for Spherical Core Seal (sometimes referred to as Spherical Conic Seat) - The Mares Ruby model used a variation of the SCS where the movable part that was...

I don't have any any experience with full face masks but can provide some feedback on your computer question: You will undoubtedly be diving with a partner who does not have impaired vision, or at...

    Wizard Wand for a Scuba Stick?

    There is a tendency that when folks start carrying a stick as a pointer, they start poking with it and use it as support instead of using good buoyancy skills. I can't imagine a scenrio where the average diver, yet alone your teenager, is better off carrying a pointer stick, and highly recommend...

    Regulator and Tank Valve Terminology

    If semantics are so important, one should note that it is not a "yoke valve", rather it is a yoke style first stage that the valve is designed to have attached. Anyone wrapped around the axles about any of the verbiage discussed in this thread, including the OP, needs to dive more and worry...

    Aqualung Fusion Self-Zip question

    Essentially, your description aims to achieve the same, but I find it more effective to grab with my right hand and pull and rotate the material around to the front to help position that end of the zipper more in front to facilitate closing those last couple of inches. -Z

    Aqualung Fusion Self-Zip question

    Unless you are at the size limit for your suit, there should be enough material that you can pull the zippered area around to be able to push/pull the zipper home to the end. I grab a handful of fabric along with the zipper with my right hand, pull it around, then switch hands and hold the...

    About to buy a jacket - advice needed.

    Be careful buying a used Hydros Pro, especially if you cannot thoroughly inspect it in person....there used to be issues with the material the shoulder strap was made from tearing very prematurely....you don't want to purchase something for 370 euros and open a post delivered box to find that...

    About to buy a jacket - advice needed.

    We are a family of 4 who all started with jacket style BCDs but have all converted to backplate and wing style. The hydros pro is is a decent piece of kit, but it is also an expensive piece of kit. If you do some research, you will find there are those that absolutely love it, those that hate...

    Long sleeves on drysuit

    Ultimately not a bad suggestion, but the OP is in Bulgaria, not the USA, so DRIS most likely is not a viable option. -Z
