The faceplate design of the OP's 2nd stage was first marketed in 2003/2004 (I believe 2004 is more accurate though)....that should help narrow dating it down a little bit more. -Z

I have done nothing of the sort...neither discounted what you said, or used my imagination to make a guess as to what "it" must be like due to never having seen this done. I think rather you are making assumptions and overstating things about me. I have held you in quite high respect since I...

We often talk about new divers being task loaded/task overloaded by the environment, their equipment, and their developing skillset. What then is the incentive for an instructor, often given limited pool/confined water time, take a group of people with varying comfort levels, varying athletic...

I am not sure how to say you are wrong, other than saying you are wrong. 11" mounting holes were not the original standard...in fact, orginally there really were no standards for the mounting holes, so to say this is the or one of the "defining" characteristic of what a "wing" is, is just plain...

if your battery with the torn sleeve is otherwise still holding a charge, use packing tape to shore up the sleeve...or use heatshrink over it if there is enough space in the torch body for it. If the protective circuit or what have you is not a part of the sleeve, then remove the sleeve and then...

Given that diving can be a lifetime activity, and the short length of exposure your kids will have in that "lifetime" to their OW instructor, spend less time worrying about them "learning the right way from the beginning" and just get them certified...then set a good example and take them diving...

No cereal bowl, mixing bowl, or popcorn bowl?...no tuperware-like container? Hell, you can fill a ziplock bag in a pinch if you really don't have ANY container to use otherwise. -Z

WTF??? You live in Maryland not some BFE remote island on mars. What kind of "little bowl" do you "need to get"??? Just fill your bathroom sink or bath tub and stick the damn thing in and stop keeping us in suspense. BTW, happy holidays! :wink: -Z

If you are set in your mentality and desire to create a bodge of a gear situation then go for it. You asked the general diving public here is they/we see an issue with this plan and specifically asked for thoughts.....folks shared what they see as an issue along with some thoughts and your...

Its only useless if you did not achieve your aim...but you did, so I would say you did exceptionally well. I read your introduction above and I think you are heading in the right direction. The only thing I would recommend, is get some booties and fins, that way you are not stuck with whatever...

The board member in question that you are meaning to contact, can initiate contact with you....if you post who it is, I would be glad to contact them on your behalf and arrange for them to send you a DM. -Z

Yes....stick around and fulfill the requirements to post in the classfieds section and/or contact members privately. Had you done a little bit of browsing/research you would have found that there has been a ton of recent discussion activity about making the classifieds section of ScubaBoard...

As Inquis mentioned, not having the flow restrictor will not break your transmitter. Since you are able to get pressure reading on your dive computer holding it against the transmitter, then I recommend pulling the "new" batteries and checking them with a volt-meter. I would not be surprised if...

The reality is the choice in either option doesn't really matter. Folks should pick whatever option appeals to their fancy and dive the crap out of their rig....if they don't like how it fits or functions then modify it. Here are some common examples: 1. There are those that buy the adjustable...

DIN conversion kits for the older Titan are like hens' teeth, especially since that version of the Titan 1st stage has been out of production for a number of years. -Z

The default dive mode for the Peregrine-TX is "Air" mode, but if you or someone else purposely or inadvertently set it to "Nitrox" mode then the depth you hit during your dive coupled with the gas mixture imputed either purposely or accidentaly, could have triggered the PPO2 alarm. To better...

Sorry that didn't work out. Chris and his wife own Dive Zone Scuba, and Chris uses the shop name as his username here on ScubaBoard...@divezonescuba. I know they sell and service Mares but thought they serviced other brands like Aqualung. The only other shop I am familiar with out that way is...

Si-Tech is a company based in Sweden and Light Monkey is a company based in the US. I suspect that it is less expensive for Seaskin to have products shipped from Sweden and imported into the UK compared to from the US. -Z

The Si-Tech Silflex silicone neck seals are available in size standard and small. There are raised rings molded into the seal to be used as a cutting guide if one's neck is too tight. I wear a dress shirt with an 18-inch neck measurement and find the standard size neck seal to be functionaly...

I recommend changing the Si-Tech docking system 60910 to the Si-Tech QCS oval option. The 60910 is the older, larger, and round Si-Tech QCP cuff system, you will be very limited with regards to an itegrated dryglove system with these cuff rings. The oval cuff system is much more versatile and...
