It depends what you have into it already, you could try listing it on e-bay with a high reserve (like $1500) and see if you get any takers. A new Bauer unit with similar capacity is going to run between $4000 and $5000, you can find other brands from $2000 to $4000

Polykem is what we use on umbilicals, it sticks to itself when applied underwater. http://www.amronintl.com/diving/products.cfm?id=4292

Expanding on what Gary said, the suit and helmet are mated together through the breast plate. There is no neck seal, the diver can manipulate the amount of air coming in and the amount being exhausted inflating the suit. When entering the water it is similar to entering with out burping any...

Employers do not care all that much about the school, the school gets your foot in the door. The biggest items are listed in Garrobo's post above. They do care whether or not it is an ADCE approved course as these meet the ANSI standard for commercial diving and OSHA recognizes it as well...

I prefer using a FFM, when your used to it air consumption increasing is not an issue. Some of the originators of the DIR methodology have used them as well for deco.

EXO-BR is a nice rig also, but heavier. The M-48 is a real nice mask also. I do agree with you about the AGA, durable and comfortable mask.

What part of the world are you located in Jamie? You might want to make an appointment with an ENT, there may be some physiological blockage or partial blockage causing your problems. I have had several friends who have had growths removed, one has recurring polyps that cause problems...

I would doubt DAN has logistics arrangements in place, the agency is set up for both consultation and insurance for diving casualties not logistics of patient transport. If the patient is unconscious, you would not know if they are having difficulty clearing, the primary symptom is pain...

Nope, FFM are OK for light contamination. I think some people got confused by some comments on FFM in Steve Barsky's book on contaminated diving operations. If the water is enough to make your divers sick, cause burns, ect. FFM is an unsafe solution. For diving in high levels of contamination...

102 in a sewage treatment sediment pond. The highest area was 102 near the inlet with progressively decreasing to around 95 at the outlet. The dives had to be conducted in full containment suit (drysuit) we were using nylon shell suits with no undergarment. On one occasion one of the...

It is not very hard to do yourself, you can contact the guys at OTS Ocean Technology Systems for parts and instructions. Jeff
