    New testing requirements for return to USA

    Ha! I guess it's one of the problems with short posts and texts as a form of communication. Tone and inflection doesn't always come thru...and I just can't get my witty sense of humor correct. Cheers, guys!

    Sunset House

    Thank you for the help and Cathy Church must still be there because I had to work around a fully booked week when she was holding a workshop. It will be interesting to see her work.

    Sunset House

    Well, I've booked for the beginning of May at the Sunset House. Hopefully, Covid Varient # (?) won't change Cayman's policies. American Airlines took my reservation (and money) but I think they are still subject to change/cancel. I'm leaving out of SFO and my other options are to fly to NYC...

    Mystery Regulator

    Ha... I think I escaped the long arm of the law. A puzzling question, I worked for an LDS and the owner was present when we found the reg. In fact, he was the one who suggested that I post it here. There was the initial response on the thread and it died for 2 months. 2 months later I had a...

    What's in a regulator?

    Couldn't be more TRUE!

    What's in a regulator?

    Here's my 2 cents worth... "cold water" is not very definitive, most people think Monterey is "cold". How about Silfra Fissure, Lake Tahoe in February or Clear Lake in Central Oregon? Ice diving in Minnesota...that's cold! The reg's built for cold water are usually heavy with heavy metal...

    What's in a regulator?

    I'm a service tech with factory certified training in 4 brands and I've opened up and inspected most other brands. The "availability of service" that was mentioned by Marie3 is good advice. Factory parts are sometimes limited to those dive shops that stock that brand name. If they can't get a...

    Belize Dive Haven

    There was mention that the resort on Lighthouse Caye suffered severe hurricane damage and has been abandoned. ??? The lunch stop island was on Half Moon Caye, home of the red-footed boobies if you're into birds. The resort itself has been completely rebuilt after the fire and is in great...

    Belize Dive Haven

    Completely sorry for the delay....I've been gone for a while. The facility at Ramon's was better than I expected. The resort grounds are very nice and the dive operation was great. They've got a TON of money tied up in boats. The DM's and boat captains were all squared away. I did the blue...

    Ramons Dive shop Operations

    Just got back. The resort itself is very nice. Everything was well kept in the rooms and on the grounds. The restaurant there (Pineapples) has good food at a fair price. You walk down the beach in either direction and find a few other fairly good spots for food also. The town of San Pedro...

    Compressor Air Filter

    OK...grf88 has the answer. Looks like a 1" NPT thread that will screw right into an off-the-shelf adapter. Thanks.

    Compressor Air Filter

    I'm trying to find a small air filter and housing to top off a 1" PVC line to use as the pre-filter for a small Coltri compressor. I've been searching in the small engine online catalogs but someone out there might have a suggestion? Thanks, Jim

    Filling pony bottles from main tank

    Is this a restricted orifice?

    Filling pony bottles from main tank

    Can you post a pic of the valve on your pony? I've never seen a "standard" valve on a tank as small as 6cf. I don't think filling from the HP port of a standard 1st stage will work as they are a restricted orifice with a TINY hole. I have a 6cf tank from Spare Air with a small fill port, it...

    Ramons Dive shop Operations

    I'm heading there in 2 weeks and asked the same questions of them. They answered that gear lockers are provided at the dock. I can't imagine that they don't have rinse tanks but I never asked.

    Where to stay in Belize

    I had the same question last month and passed on a place called Belize Dive Haven as they never returned my emails. There is a great dive/trip report that a member (Dan) posted, you can find it a few posts down in my thread (Belize Dive Haven). He stays at Ramon's and it looks fairly nice...
