When I first read of the latest accident and Diver's Down statistics I was shocked. I just dove with Diver's Down Grand Cayman in March! However, in retrospect, I can share a few thoughts on the topic. My friend Jayne and I went on a cruise and dove Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Jayne has her...

I had a bad experience recently cold water diving and thought I would put it out there to get some advice from others. The water was about 37* surface temperature. I set up my tank (1st dive with my new Worthington HP100, regular 02 fill), BCD, regulators and transmitter before I even took...

"I really don't like the idea of no ditchable weight. As I recall, the very first step when you rescue a diver and get them to the surface is to ditch their weights to establish positive buoyancy". - rstofer This response is as much for fun as it is informational (aka: no soapbox here) As...

Wow- thanks so much for the info. First site I've seen that has the old tank stampings listed. Sorry I did not include the link to Ebay- never crossed my mind to do so. If I have used Alum 80's so far (on smaller dives - and I don't care for aluminums due to bouyancy) does it make any sense...

ICC 3aa 2250 Serial # K17426 11(hydro stamp) 65+. Think this is a 65cf +? Does that size exist? Thanks- Leo

Thanks for all the information guys- I am just learning about doubles and every bit of information helps. The straight manifold does not have a j valve or rod, but the bands are original. I think from what I'm learning I would prefer a modern isolation manifold. My LDS recommends 300, but he...

Just aquired my first doubles- steel 72's- one US Diver and one PST (Hydros in 2/09). Questions: I cant find crown marking descriptions for old discontinued tanks anywhere. Any leads? It has US Diver solid bar. Any benifit to using/upgrading? What about Nitrox with these guys...

I bought a Uwatec Smart Z last fall and have a bunch of dives in the logbook - HOWEVER - I cannot get the computer to transfer the information to the Smartrac software via Infrared interface. I bought a IrDA "dongle" for my Dell PC with no luck, and I tried my laptop that came with the IrDA...

Thank you for all the information! After going through the extensive list of details given, it is clear that they both are the old style (the "octo" is an identical second stage G250- both have the original warranty cards) and the 1st stage is a MK10 swivel. The first stage and hoses look...

I just picked up two used G250 secondaries and a SP first stage. Both regs are plastic on the outside and are listed as "G250 Graphite". The first stage has 2 HP ports and 4 LP ports, and the handle you use to tighten it to the tank valve (I dont know the technical term) is half-moon shaped...
