I agree that both would be great, but if you were looking for older wooden wrecks wouldn't a magnometer be a better choice if you only had one. For most of these earlier wrecks, say before 1700, wouldn't whatever was above the sand line pretty much be gone. I guess maybe a ballast pile might be...

I saw that one too. Just dreaming of treasure hunting. It would be one of those "hobbies" that could turn a large fortune into a small one. But how cool would it be to bring up a cannon. Think the neighbors would get pissed if I mounted in in the front yard ;) Ty

I just finished reading Robert Marx's Shipwrecks of the Americas. Great information for all of us wanabe treasure hunters. One of the things I noticed is there were a lot of wrecks that went down in the Delaware Bay and Jersey coast that had a number of cannons on them. I'm thinking that they...

Guys, Rick is correct. The airlines have whole departments that handle damaged baggage claims. Dive bags are supposed to be rugged, but unless you're packing you gear in a steel packing crate, it can get damaged. SCUBARACER, your LDS sounds like a pretty good shop to me. He is going to send...

I used to fly alot (> 100,000 per year) and baggage gets dammaged. The basic idea of a really good bag is to hold your gear and absorb the damage from the conveyors and handlers. I have the top of the line TravelPro bags for my business travel and they get pretty beat up. As such, at best your...

I did a number of dives this year at Dutch Springs tuning up and trying out new equipment, but everything since then has been by boat. I know there are a few good shore dives off the Jersey coast, but for $50 or $60 I prefer to go explore some new wrecks. Ty

I'm with Spectre, I'd love to have that many dives... Ty

I was one a dive yesterday and had a brand new metal weight belt buckle pop open on me. The wreck was covered with fishing line and I am not sure if the buckle got snagged on a line, but it popped loose and my weight belt was hanging on my crotch strap. Pretty nerve racking to say the least. I...

I dive the TP II with Rec wing and single Steel HP 120. I have mine bungied, but not as tight as it could be. I've never has a problem air at all. I had the DR weight pockets, but changed over to a hard weight belt. The TP II fits just fine over the hard weights. With the DR weight pockets they...

OK, the Dunkin Donut thing is a pushing it a bit. Down here we get around by what exit of the Garden State Parkway or NJ turnpike you live off of... And the local landmark is the diner... Now we do have roundabouts, but we call them circles. We even name them after diners too, like Olga's...

I've started my wish list for things that I want to get over the winter. One of my goals is to move up to doubles. I've noticed on my last couple of dives that the DM's and the boat captians who have doubles have two sets of BP/ Wings. The only things that they have to change over between dives...

Single tank adaptor... doh Guess I didn't have enough coffee yet. Ty

OK, Dumb question. I missed the acronym somewhere. What's a STA? Ty

OK, New Jersey isn't quite New England, although people talk funny here too, but we're a lot closer the Canada, Florida or Texas... Maybe us Mid-Atlantic divers need to get together too. Seems to be a fairly large contingent from Jersey, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Ty

I like Parrot better... I mean, how funny is " This Macaw is dead, you sold me a dead Macaw" See, it just doesn't work!!! Ty

And some days I don't think that would be such a bad idea:D And to all of you who keep al of those little electrons flowing the right direction... or however these things work... Thank you Ty

Hey Baby, your tank or mine? Can I buy you an air fill? So what agency are you? Ty

Isn't the rule that you have to send him to the second person who responds to your post?:D Oh well, can't hurt to try :rolleyes: Enjoy the meal. Ty

I agree with art.chick. My LDS does all of the basic OW dives at Dutch Springs. After the skills are done on the platform, the other three dives are for the students to get use to diving and work on their buoyancy. However, At least with NAUI, an OW allows someone to dive under the conditions...

Mine came with both the nylon screws as well as a pair of of SS bolts and well nuts. Both of them went in my junk drawer too I used a couple of wire ties to hold the wing on between dives when the tank is not attached. I've got about 25 dives on it since the Spring and have had nothing but great...
