You would need a wrench to tighten down a metric thread manifold onto a 3/4" thread tank, it would not spin on by hand, and I think you would have some idea that you were screwing things up when you were forcing things together. If it threaded easily, then the threads are Ok, but I still would...

If there will be any problems with shops filling the tanks with a manifold intended for overseas use. I thought it was a legal requirement in the US (DOT regs) that all valves be equiped with burst discs.

Works good. Comfortable, can be slid up or down on the waist to fine tune trim, more streamlined than the ACB's. That's what I have. Oh, and since it is stretchy, it is depth compensating too.

do the 20% correction. 100 ft. on nitrox is 80 ft. on air. This table is about 15 years old, and not as conservative as the newer tables.

SD03, I see you live in the Seattle area, so do I. where did you buy your reg. from? If I were you, I would have your regulator serviced by a reputable dive shop before you use it, there are a couple that are pretty close to you. Once it is tuned up, it should give you years of service. But...

I don't know if it is legible.

having a mentor as a buddy is great. having training from a good instructor is also great. I'd try to do both, if I were you.

you've got a wetsuit that will keep you honest: Don't gain any weight!! Baby powder is messy when wet. What are you wearing under your wetsuit? It can be a wrestle to get into a wetsuit that fits snug. I would evaluate how "snug" your new suit is. If it's is too tight, you might want to...

I use the 1/2" fittings/hoses on my Apeks 200 and the hose is not any stiffer that the 3/8" size, in fact, it is the same diameter. The difference is in the size of the opening on the fitting that screws into the first stage, and the oversized port on the first stage, not the hose itself. 5th D...

You don't need the steel grommet on the webbing, in fact, if you remove it, the tank will sit flatter against the backplate. With the grommet from the webbing, plus the grommet on the Pioneer wing, it creates a high spot under the top bolt that is thicker than the built in STA's, causing the...

You will be able to drop some weight from your belt, approx. 6 lb. Position the shoulder rings up high enough that when you bring your arms in together the rings don't dig into your arms and chest.(near the clavicle bone) Play around with the tank placement on the plate, it is a great way to...

...how you can get all their golf balls back from the water traps, they might change their tune:D :D

... to dive alot, so you fill up the memory with your own dives!:D . Once you click "ignore dive" when the dive you want to get rid of is highlighted on the log, it won't show up again when you download, and once it is off your computers memory, it's gone for good.

Has picnic tables, a big grassy area to spread out, and reasonable parking, especially if you get there by 10am. The diving is varied, with interesting structure to poke around in. Max depths can vary from 50 to 100 ft, making it good for a wide variety of diving skills, and currents on that day...

are under the gauge protector, which you can pop off, that's normal. You shouldn't need to remove the battery. Was it displaying dive time, or surface interval? Your manual will cover changing from imperial to metric, as well as changing the battery, you should read it, there is a lot of info to...

I have one. I like it. It's not as cheap as the do it yourself kits, but it's cool. Works great, quick response, and self contained with no external sensor or hoses.

Overstepping your training is a mistake!! fortunately it wasn't a big, bad, nasty mistake in this case.

1. Big numbers, minutes and seconds in the middle, resetable for deco. Total runtime in lower rt. corner. 2. Tank pressure in lower lt. corner of screen. 3. Logging capabilities, including profile graphs. It is easy to read, I like that most.
