My 91 blizzard has the heat exchangers and I had an even older model for an octopus that also had them. Probably had the exchangers added sometime in the 80's ??? perhaps evn earlier

Yes, but you could always equalize the mask via your nose if there was squeeze

I have a Blizzard from 1991....first reg I bought. Still works the same today and I use it as my primary. My secondary is a newer blizzard. Question for the reps if they are out there.....My original Blizzard is a Sherwood Blizzard Magnum. Is that like the best of both worlds?

Buddy, Dry suit, or use SMB/Lift bag. All system fails would be a drop of the belt and swim. If you can swim with the weights on this may help slow ascent towards the surface. Could also tie weights off to reel line or reel line to wreck and swim up, pay out enough to keep you at required...

Is there any way to draw and exhale directly via the regulator and bypass the mask cavity? If you passed the regulator through the octopuss cut in half ball thing then reattached the regular mouthpiece you would then breath just through the reg and elliminate the pressure drop causing the free...

I'm off and fabbing....:D

Looking to build a canister light. Having a hrd time finding batteries. Anyone have a supplier or recomendation for batteries? I think I will be usuing a 12 volt 35 watt halogen as I can't seem to find an HID supplier either? Thanks

As shakeybrainsurgeon stated earilier it seems that alot of divers consider Scuba a competition sport...more dives....higher certification.....when does it end? All things aside basic training ends with OW and you are no longer "new" to diving. you should have the basics down. You earn...

My buddy and I try and dive in as many different conditions as possible. We are still trying to find a definition of "good Visability". Preparation is the key. Every dive is a "new" dive and we try and learn from each dive. Alot of times we are in unfamilliar territory with just a depth...

I think there is a bit of that Surgeon. Medicine got it correct when they say that Doctors "Practice Medicine". Same can be said for just about any job on the planet. Sometimes you are wrong. Hopefully it does not end badly. The more you "Practice" the better you get and the chances of...

If I could buy gear all again at the start....... Back plate and wing style BC....Dive rite or OMS Or Zeagle Stainless plate and ditchable weight pouches. Wings rated for 45 pounds lift. (currently have a Zeagle ranger also a very nice BC) Regs...Have Sherwood blizzard since 91, works...

Try divetank and see what they can do. Bought a set of BARE CT-200 undies and the cheapest I could get was 299 plus tax and Richard at dive tank got them to me for 235taxes and shipping included. great deal and only 4 days to come across the country. plus no other fees

PM sent If you get the pictures perhaps you would have some luck posting them on the board. I keep getting the boot from the office firewall.:light: I am now making up a set of stainless handles out of solid 1" round stock. I weight tested the uhit with everything in it and with no...

Your BP is probably designed to take a stainless Carriage bolt. These have the round head with a square section followed by the threads. If you purchased the proper size carriage bolt you may find the nice round head at your back more appealing

Reading the manual.......................don't tell my wife..................says that the "cat eye" function messes with the gain to allow more light in. This would be cool except that you need to turn it on when the camera freaks and says "light" in a flashing symbol in the corner. Hmmmmm...

Most people are talking about a "REPLACEMENT" card meaning you lost it or in some way were irresponsible and require services to correct "YOUR" error. Concerning the lad and his C-Card......this is an up-date from PADI. No further training required and no cards were lost or requested...

Pictures of the camera housing close to complettion. Still need handles.... Not working due to company firewall I should expect, will try and post from home, dial up just sucks...............:shakehead

I would use the Jr. Card till I wanted another course.....if ever. Any one is going to see that your son is not a Jr Diver when he steps up to the plate........BTW they put Jr. in front of the AOW just because of age less than 15 but just award AOW when he gets the majic digits? Thats pretty...

The dive shop I last certified with gives reciepts for tax purposes. Education is education..... Will look into it further but alot more trivial things are claimed (legally) 4. Tuition, education and textbook amounts (full time and part time) – If you are a student enrolled at a...

My Buddy and I always discuss problems on a dive or concerns before a dive and debrief after the dive. We also go and "play" as often as we can practicing different UW skills, finning technique etc. My kids wonder why Dad is swiming backwards across the pool.............. Have you ever...
