After planning on making a canister light and deciding that the one I want to build would not be very cost effective, I am entertaining the idea of an early Christmas present. Ive run across a deal on a factory 'reconditioned' Halycon Pro 6 10w HID. It is roughly the same price that I can get...

That's one long drive for me... Man, I'd love to take those two classes but being in down by the Gulf, it would be a 5hr drive just to get there if I could take the time off from work. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait....;-0

Cave Diver has TP2/Rec wings and normally dives with lp 112 OMS doubles without any problems. Did his cave training with lp104's I believe. Currently I'm using TP2/Rec with single lp120. I did float a pair of 120's on the surface with this setup also. Soon as I get some 8" bands, I'll see...

Good divers are always learning, as one SCUBA publication points out. I would think that most divers would think this way also. CD does and that is why we were doing what we were. Most everyone can remember back to there open water checkout dives when we were told my the instructor that are...

Found out the onesCD has are from 5thD. First one he put on started tearing the rubber boss on the fin. Modified it to where the opening of the C is on the strap itself with a retainer to hold the spring in the alum block. Seems to work so far. I'll find out later if they worked in the real...

Not 100% sure where CD got his spring straps from but he got them at the same time as the fins. (Scubapro have spring traps?) They are the 'typical' spring straps I've seen. SS spring connected to alum dowel with SS wire going through in a "C" type bend, with the open end made to attach to...

I've got a chance to get another OMS lp120 at a really good price. I am looking at setting them up as doubles. Until I checked Diverites website that is. I've got a TPII with Rec wings. Diverite recommends doubles up to 104's for the Rec wings. On there Classic Wings (I think I could use...

No can do Saturday, that little thing called work gets in the way sometimes. Maybe next weekend. Had a chance to go on a trip to another part of the Flower Gardens next weekend but those plans feel through. Oh well, it was for the best anyway. BTW Dee, you ever get that unsinkable boat to...

family here in Southeast Texas. Since the Beaumont-Port Arthur area only has Smith Lake in Vidor for it's claim to fame, I think the Houston crowd should adopt us!

Got my TPII about a year ago and floating in the box was a pair of nylon bolts with well nuts screwed on them. Found out later that these were to "hold" the wing in place on the soft pack in the absence of a tank or set of doubles. They are in no means structural since the tank actually holds...

Went to grab mine too. Right above the very top grommet to mount doubles, there is a slot about 2" long and that is where my strap slides through. I dont know if it makes a difference, but I have the Dual Rec wings. My TP is fairly new, maybe a year old. Friend of mine (Cavediver) has had...

Msgmotor, how does the tank pos strap cut the top of the wing in half? On my TPII, the strap goes through the a slot cut below the bladder. Is this a question of old style TP vs new style? Anyway, I dont think I would try doubles with the travel wings. Usually I dive a LP120 and I've never...

One of the most widely used applications of nitrous oxide is used for racing; also, also known as NOS, (which by the way is a company's trademark for the kits). The NOS/nitrous used in this application has I think 2 ppm of Sulfur Dixoide added into it to prevent you from breathing it...

Went to the doctor a couple years ago for an sinus/ear concern before diving, I was politely told that my sinus are "f*&k'd up" by the nurse who than proceeded to flush my ears out. Ever since I have started diving, I've always had to take some form if antihistimin (sp) before diving...

I was looking at these LED flashlights from Tektite (www.tek-tite.com) and was curious to know if anyone has seen them in use, used them, or had any other info on them. I am not talking about the LED marker lights, but the ones with at least 7 LED's up to 19 LED's. The add I ran across...

I've looked at Cochran before (was considering Commander I think). What turned me off of it was a kept reading several posts, artilces, etc about bad QC issues with them. Battery cases leaking, computers failing more, etc. In fact, ran across one site that recommeds if you dive there that you...

Dont get me wrong, I havent ruled out the 750. ( Brain doesnt work sometimes that late without food.) 750 is still in the running, the only reason it is not running first is because it doesnt use the same download software has the 500AI. For this reason, I am considering all other options...

Someone wake me up if I am dreaming.... I'm looking for a backup computer to my Aeris 500AI, poss a replacement for it as well (for new reg setup). Thought I had it all figured out until I found out the Aeris 750GT uses different download software than the 500AI, so back to the think tank...

Ok everyone, I'm going to get another regulator soon and my LDS just started carring Atomic. I am also considering SP Mk25/S600. The LDS I shop at doesnt carry SP but another local one does. So, I am leaning a little towards Atomic's B1. Now, before everyone suggests Posiden or Apexs...

Checked out the Halcyon and the BP from OMS but I dont know if I want to go with a BP system just yet. What is the comfort level of those? Keep in mind, during the sping/summer/early fall I still am diving in t-shirt or no shirt. Bare back with back plate seems kinda rough.... Another...
