Hi, negative comment and why I have not been really participating on the board: Scuba board takes far to long to load forums. Commercials are eating up the time. Sorry, but it is frustrating to wait for a thread and have advertising drop in and wait wait wait...............

Out on the ship now but I can send some when I get home in a few weeks. The BP is an APEKS (sorry Scott) but everything fits like it was made to do so. There are four slots at each location for a single tank band. Esentially you weave the clip band through these slots and you are good to go...

Hey Scott, I recently attached my Ranger wing to a Back Plate. It is not a zeagle back plate and has slots milled that negate the use of an STA. The slots were perfect to just pass the clip belt through and attach the wing as it would be on the Ranger. any problem with this? As doubles...

Converting all tanks to DIN and have din Regs and adaptors for those that are not. Better system all around. For Doubles Din is in! better for hose routing and reducing the size of the first stage (no knobs out the back). Most shops where I go have din whips for filling. I also have...

Huh? I guess you didn't read what I wrote. I believe it is possible if you suck the tank right down or vent it off and leave it open: but then mark the tank for later, pull the valve rinse, dry, vis and put back in service. Should be generally accepted for operating a bait boat that stuff...

Amazing.......... How did this 500 psi thing all get started anyway. One of those rules of thumb by someone too lazy to gas plan I guess. Moisture will only enter a pressurized tank while filling it (forcing it in) or if the tank has less than surrounding ambiant pressure in it (vaccuum...

What is the point of a DM anyway? Perhaps it is because up north here there is not many charters that have them. Usually it is a boat, driver and assistant. Dive on your own. If your more familliar with the site you explain the pit falls to the rest of the group. The skipper will make a...

Depends on the diver! # of dives and certification level is very little indication of a divers ability until you enter technical diving and then the technical divers will frag the crap out of the sloppy techie guys!

Try to indicate which side of the vessel and when performing a Williamson turn you should turn in the direction the person went over to try and haul the screws away from thm. If you turn the opposite way you risk chewing them up. Any vessel should always have something to throw like a...

So thats what it said at the "bank" What was the actual water temp? If the other lads jumped in and said it was cold that is one thing. 53 would have left the nads of any olympic champ on the floor of the pool. The water could have not been that cold. That being said......if it was "for...

I have the Apeks BP/W with a #32 wing for singles and the integrated sure lock weights....it dives great. I also have the Apeks BP with a Halycon harness and a Zeagle #44 wing for doubles...dives no problem. Look around, The nice thing about the Apeks BP is that it is machined to allow...

Mostly the difference is the plate and harness. The back inflate Bc's have the pockets, quick release straps (although you can get these for a BP) and more padding. A BP tends to disperse some weight across your back allowing you to put less on your weight belt. This allows you to balance...

The classic old debate, What type of diving do you plan to do, or may do in the future and pick a BC that will get you on your way. I had a jacket style and eventually blew a hole in it through age and use. Purchased a Zeagle Ranger and have about 100 dives on it. Recently got a great...

When wil the cert agencies listen? Aow......ugh........

ha ha ha ha ha Steve, :) I believe.....I believe.....was just getting the annoying "you haven't posted here in months thing" out of the way. What are you doing on this board? spying? hahahahahahhha

I know there are several defining principles dealing with "proper trim" with regards to establishing correct weighting. What I am looking for is some assistance with establishing (if possible) a balanced rig as far as weight distribution. The gear: Apexs xtx regs primary and back up. Long...

Hahahahahahahaha Suit must be too small in the area the lads like to play. try a larger suit in the bottom area. Hahahahaha....worst case is pop a hole in the playground so the lads can equalize......so much for just having the ears pop!....hahahahahha

New mooring and SOS buoy going in very soon. Marker is approved and coing in from Ottawa and I have anchor blocks, chain and shackles all set to go. Diving at a boat launch or public dock is asking for problems. Sort of like trying to ride your bicycle on the 401. Boaters need to steer...

Keep and use the older version and pen in the updates as they go. If your instructor is fine with it and you are using new books then don't waste money and a perfectly good manual. Just make changes as required.

That's correct Scott, It was the last thing I could ever think would fail on a dive! I'll put in the word to the shop to ensure it gets back to you....hopefully!
