    Man, I got stuff stored all over the house, garage too. Joke. Sorry. Ignore me. I just couldn't resist.

    Are you referring to the LE line that was going to "revolutionize the diving world"??

    I've got a Venture wing and really like it. I've used it with big steel singles/wetsuit/canister light and always had enough lift. YMMV.

    Valves and bands

    Divers Supply The 7.25" are $99, I think the 8" are a little higher. Still, the best price I've seen.

    Gear Cost

    I got a lot of money tied up in gear but I just buy a little at a time and it doesn't hurt so bad. Look for good deals. I've had good luck with e-bay on several items (eg. drysuit $480 brand new). Diver's Supply is hard to beat on manifolds and bands. Leisure Pro has some good prices on lots...

    Zeagle Vs. Halcyon Evolve

    Since you stated tech diving is in your future, save yourself some money and get a backplace, harness, and single tank wing now. I have a Dive Rite Venture wing that is a great little single tank wing. Then, when your ready for doubles all you will need will be a doubles' wing. If you get...

    quality of sea elite lights?

    Well, actually, I assumed they were the in-line fuses for the charger. I got to use my light in a cave yesterday. I was happy with the way it lit things up, but I did not get to compare it to any of the "big" lights.

    quality of sea elite lights?

    I've got one and used it a few times. Everyone seems to agree that they are made my Salvo; the canister is just like the one's on his web-site, the light-head is a little different since the sea-elite is not focusable. I wish I could give you some objective comparisons to other lights...

    Mares Reg Servicing Issues

    Hmmm, imagine that. Maybe they have been so busy with the Limited Edition line they forgot about parts. I'm sure Stefano will dive in here and address the issue.

    DACOR Equipment?

    I got a five year old Dacor paperweight if you're interested. Can't get parts. DON'T do it. Too many other good brands to choose from. IMHO

    Tips on diving the Spiegel Grove?

    I would stay away from Ocean Divers or any of the cattle boats. Jeff Jarvis on the Minnow www.hmsminnow.com runs a great six pack. He will do back to back dives on the Grove if everyone agrees. He'll even do back to back on the Duane. Jeff leaves thirty minutes before most the other boats...

    Intro to Cave Course

    Being a new intro diver, this thread caught my eye. Do the "gatekeepers", rangers, or who ever is in charge at the FL state parks check or question intro divers to see if they're diving singles or doubles. When I was there, everything seemed pretty laid back to me; most the time no one was...
