    Setting up new regs...

    It's nice to know there is another shop that has some integrity about there gear setup. I would expect as a customer that has paid good money to buy gear to get that service! This is just another reason to buy from a LDS that provides such services, rather than an online operation that sends you...

    Borrow a BC?

    So are you saying your life does not depend on a functioning BC? So if the dump valves in your BC wouldn't hold you'd be ok at the surface for a prolonged period of time? Or, would you have enough sense to remove the LP inflator hose if the infalator button were to stick and head you to the...

    EOS tuning knob a little to easy?

    Hello all, I ended up getting an EOS and have been very happy with it! the only real issue I have come up with is that the tuning knob, although it is easy to adjust, it is also easy to come unadjusted. I've thought of adding an o-ring between the knob and the secondary adjuster to stiffen the...

    Questions about P-valve

    Wasn't really a Q, It's just I had a customer ask why his cost was more than $200.00 when he saw it posted here for $200.00. I told him that my cost break must not be as good as others, which is the case. Joe Maybe someday I'll be able to play with the big dogs, and make a couple of bucks for me.

    Crater Lake

    The answer would be yes. As for air close by,? The closest air would probably be ESD, or I believe Kfalls still has a shop. If you were headed traveling around the Redmond Oregon way, I'd gladly hook you up with some air. But noticing you are from Salem you could get it from Blake and pack it...

    Questions about P-valve

    My cost was over $200.00, by the time it was put back through the pressure test at Whites. Am I not getting the best deal on product? Is that because of my new status? Yes it seems a little tight that at least a double barbed fitting is not supplied. My rep said it was to shave costs, but it...

    Questions about P-valve

    Actually they don't. Talked with a nurse freind and she said they hooked up more permanantly than a quick disconnect. She had sdaid they hooked up directly to the tube that came from the bag to the catheter condom, or a direct internal catheter. Also, if you can find them for 2 cents, heck even...

    Leisure Pro now an authorized Zeagle dealer?

    Hey Mike, look again.(thanks for the heads up about not being listed) I don't have a problem competing with online stores, but it seems that when those people that have bought there gear online don't get the service they thought they would get, they come to a LDS and expect us to bow down and...

    Leisure Pro now an authorized Zeagle dealer?

    It's kinda like they the steak and potatoes, and the little shop like mine gets the scraps. While they get fat, we get thin and loose our shorts. Joe

    Leisure Pro now an authorized Zeagle dealer?

    The problem for the little shop such as mine, is that a major online retailer's such as LP and ST buy and sell in such bulk numbers that they get their prices down well below mine, so their profit is still acceptable. In the economy such as today's there will be a time that they will sink the...

    Questions about P-valve

    As far as the issue about how to connect the cath.? My IT has the same type of valve and uses a zip tie or two to make the connection. He also uses a cork to plug the hole when the valve is not in use, as a precaution so as not to leak. Joe

    Questions about P-valve

    Talked with Brook, in repair at Whites today, he will be talking with production about this problem. Hopefully things will be sorted out soon. The problem is very easily fixed, just loosen the valve and turn it where you would like. The problem is that the people in production have never dove...

    1000' alt dive/4000' acclimated diver?

    This question was an attempt to acquire correct info about diving at altitude for someone that lives at altitude. I realize that theoretical depths would still be required for divers diving without compensating computers. But what was more in question was the acclimated diver status. I've got a...

    1000' alt dive/4000' acclimated diver?

    Ok, so under normal circumstances a dive at 1000' or greater is an altitude dive. And under PADI's definition a diver that has been at 4000' for over 6 hours is an acclimated diver, and if under 4000', needs to figure in 2 pressure groups for each 1000' the site is at. Now, if a diver lives at...

    I need a new mask

    Oceanic's frameless Shadow is a great low volume mask. I swear it touches my eyelashes when I blink. I'm sure you could see your BC for whatever reason.

    Bad vision

    I myself HAD bad vision in my left eye 20/70, (slept in my glasses)the last time I went in for glasses the doc said we should just pull it since it was just taking up space. With the water magnifying everything looks 33% closer and 25% larger than they actually are, so the need for glasses is a...

    Another visitor from SoCal

    They have not responded because it is Wednesday and they are closed today. I will also call tomorrow and talk with Natalie about finding you a buddy. I work for them as an extra instructor and may be of some assistance. Besides, it gives me a reason to call and harrass Nat. Oh yeah, wish your...
