    Trimix depth wrecks (or other unique locations)

    I'd LOVE to - but I'm very concerned about safety being in that part of the world as a U.S. tourist these days.

    Trimix depth wrecks (or other unique locations)

    I'm guessing you don't know John lol. His suggestion was a map of a Military graveyard in an area that doesn't allow diving. (and no - we won't really dive an off limits area - it was a joke)

    Trimix depth wrecks (or other unique locations)

    I am looking for an amazing unique location to do our Advanced Trimix class. We have our instructor (John Chatterton) and will require access to mix, tanks, and a charter boat with a great guide who knows where the good stuff lies. There are a ton of beautiful worldwide locations to dive but...

    Seeking a 3rd stage piston and cylinder

    Well that seems to be the issue. Apparently back then they used a combination of Mako and Bauer parts in the K14-85 compressor. Neither company seems to want to (they say can't) get part numbers for it because of that. I have no issue paying shipping from wherever. If you have any ideas on...

    Seeking a 3rd stage piston and cylinder

    Can't seem to find a 3rd stage cylinder and piston for my Bauer compressor. The number that is stamped in the block is a K14-85 1/530 M – k1485 - Sn – 1/530 - 5000 psi Bauer says it's too old. I want to have her rebuilt. Any leads would be appreciated. Leo in WI

    HP Faber Tank size

    Hello all. I have several Faber tanks and haven't used them in a while because I've been heavy on the doubles lately. I have a HP tank and I cannot find the size. It has a 7.5 diameter (not 7.25). I think it is a 108cf but I'd really like to be 100% sure for SAC calculation. Here's...

    VT3 deco madness

    Update: Did a 120 foot wreck dive with my buddy and our matching VT3's last night. Computer worked fine until we surfaced and I tried to check my log. Just scrolls continuously through all logs and cannot use any functions. Where can I send this for service??

    VT3 deco madness

    I have two identical VT3's with transmitters. My dive buddy and I did four dives at Lake Wazee this past weekend and we each used one of them. We ran through every screen pre-dive and all settings to make sure all parameters matched on both computers. We set both for air and 40% for deco gas...

    Venice Florida and High Springs Florida- where to stay when we dive

    Hey all- My dive buddy and I are talking a road trip at the end of April to Venice, Florida for two days (shark teeth diving) and five days at Ginnie Springs for Cavern and Intro to Cave. We're both dive-aholics and will spend 80% of our time diving, prepping or cleaning up. We are looking for...

    Steel 120 with small neck threads

    Thanks everyone! There is hope! It is so much easier to find something when you know what you're looking for! Machand's suggestion on the E-bay valve sounds great, but will I run into a problem finding the other half of the modular valve (aka: is it also a different size?)

    Steel 120 with small neck threads

    Hi guys- I just bought a used steel 120 in great shape, EXCEPT (of course there's an except!) the valve knob just spun completely around. Turns out the previous owner must have broke the handle, then drilled it out and shoved a screw in it. It is a Genysis DIN valve and though I might be...

    Nomad Divers Costa Maya (Mahahual)

    I would strongly recommend Selma of Nomad Divers. We dove with her in February 2010 and found a completely relaxed yet professional atmosphere. She took care of everything; we literally just had to dive and enjoy. She pointed out interesting things to see in the water and treated my dive...

    Uwatec compatable transmitter battery replacement

    I recently bought a used Air Z with transmitter. The transmitter's battery is dead so I took it apart to change the battery and it turns out it is "Uwatec compatable" but not Uwatec. The inside is filled with some sort of oil and the battery is a Inorganic Lithium size 2/3AA 3.6volt. Not at...

    Pro Watt handle?

    I just bought a Pro Watt canister light and it does not come with a handle on the light itself. It does not have holes to thread one in to it, so I figure a velcro style or something like that. Any suggestions on what and where to buy?

    Backplate or mounting plates?

    I have a Zeagle LTD and recently bought double 72's. My options are steel or aluminum backplate or mounting plates without a backplate. Any suggestions?

    Cold water frozen exhaust/inflator valves

    Just a quick update- my BCD inflator failed again at Pearl Lake (a shallow lake I used to test it) and would not exhaust. I have since thrown the old thing away and bought a new Air2. So I would say the issue was part mechanical, part stupidity and part technique. Again I appreciate the...

    Cold water frozen exhaust/inflator valves

    "Try orally inflating your BCD next time" - what an obvious and great suggestion! Thank you for throwing this suggestion to me. Can't say why I didn't think of it. "As for your description of the dive ... there is something in there that concerns me. Not trying to be critical here, but have...
