Not really. If the seal leaks, and you don't know it, the saltwater would not be flushed out of the regulator when it was cleaned, it would stay in there and start to corrode things, right?? I have trouble being confident with the seal on the Apeks, it doesn't have any o-rings, just that...

My Set up works fine, but... I have one dive that is out of order with the rest of my log. Can you move a dive to a different field on the same chart, and can you change the dive # for that dive? Example: dive #11 s/b dive #2, how do you do that??

Put a pair of extra hoses in your save a dive kit, and you will never have to be running around trying to borrow a hose from someone before a dive. Whether 1/2 or 3/8" size, you should have your own back up hoses, then the port size isn't a problem. Regarding DIR style hoses available from my...

Just curious, what does the inside of a sealed first stage look like if it starts to leak, and you don't catch it for a month or so, because you thought you had a SEALED unit??

You just have to keep telling yourself "It weight almost nothing in the water..."; as you are working out at the gym so you can carry your rig to the waters edge. Why do you think technical diving requires being in good physical shape?:D :D :D

Water and air are the same; 48 degrees! Could be better, could be a lot worse.

McSorley..Edmund Fitzgerald Captain Beaufort..Wind force scale I wish I knew more... Hey, now I do. thanks for the trivia,WW! AzAtty: you really screwed up the grade curve for dummies like me!!

Now for something a little bit different. If civilization had not embraced the internal combustion engine (car engines) the way it did, if we had discovered a different source of fuel, those people over there in the sand would still think the guy with twenty camels was the richest man in the...

That's the truth, if you have a pack a day habit and quit, you have a good chunk of change available to be buying diving equipment. After a year, you could have a nice HID light, a BP/W, ... . ; and that's if you are only smoking one pack a day!

Like Ben said, Back up reg around neck with necklace on a 22-24"hose. Primary reg. with a long hose(7 ft.) that you donate in air sharing situations. There is tons of info about this if you do a search.

If you've got room in your pocket for a mask(and you should) then you should be carrying one. Imagine this scenario: you are shooting bags at 40 feet, and someone has an errant fin kick that knocks your mask off, there it goes, floating out of reach, and definitely out of clear vision, down to...

Hey ColdH20Diving, I am using the neo DC gloves in Puget Sound without the liner and they are comfy. My hands haven't been cold since I got them (although it's been a pretty warm winter here) If your hands get wet between dives, they are still warm once you put the gloves back on. I had a...

Being narced mellows you out, like being drunk. Your breathing slows down, then you get a problem with CO2 from not breathing properly. Paranoid, etc... are signs of excess CO2. But... maybe your reg IS funky, have it checked out.

Diving Concepts rings and gloves. They work well. Their website describes how to assemble the system; 2 different ways, depending on whether you want wrist seals or not. I have the neoprene model and like them.

Oh, We're talking about building houses. My mistake, I thought this was the SCUBA board and we were talking about metric vs. imperial as it pertains to DIVING! If you use metric, you don't need to use your fingers and toes to count.

Metric is logical, the whole base 10 thing. No calculator needed to figure things out. In the darkroom, I measure metric, in the kitchen it's imperial. Diving is easier in metric, when it comes to math. I have tried diving with my gauge set to meters, but I keep trying to convert to imperial in...

The sunfish(which includes bass) and salmonoids(trout,etc...) have pretty good coverage, you know, like fishermans centerfolds! It's those little sticklebacks and baitfish that baffle me. I have fished for too many years to not be able to ID freshwater gamefish. Speaking of aquariums, I used to...

Hey, they are too cool to eat!! Last week I saw a nice sized one, and a little one living in an old beer bottle.

Wasn't that before Rod Stewarts debut? I'm going to have to dig up some old pics, 'cause I'm thinking my calypso might of had that feature, it sounds familiar. Funny, I remember my buddys Scubapro Mk.7 with the audible reserve warning better than my own set up!

Part of the idea with DIR is that you can progress to different levels, and all your original equipment configuration stays the same. The buckle position becomes an issue when using a scooter. The crotch strap will go side to side as you cruise, if the buckle is on your left side, the crotch...
