I ordered a bc from them and they substituted with an "upgraded" model. I had done my homework and I knew it was not an upgraded model and was in fact a downgraded model....many of the important points on the two bc's were different. I found JoeDiver to be extremely difficult to communicate...

don't you feel that the quick-disconnect is just adding one more possible failure point?

Hello Matt... Are you saying that your first stage reg has 2 HP ports and you are using both? ..Or do you have 2 first stages (with H-valve or doubles ) and use a HP port off of each? Paul

I'm considering going to a hoseless computer....but I tend to like simplicity and dependability. Please share your good and bad experiences. Thanks!

Anyone want to meet for some spring diving? I have most days available and prefer somewhere in north central Fla.

I consider myself lucky enough to live in Florida - so lots of diving within an hour or two of home. I travel with what I consided an ample surplus of gear and tools to save a dive - just in case. I dive with an analog spg/computer console . Last week as I'm opening up my valves I hear a gas...

In the techie world of primary lights of course we're talking canister lights w/goodman handle. In the non-techie world of diving - a "primary" light has to start with something like a 9 watt LED...at least to me. I'm most familiar with the Princeton Shockwave LED ( Princeton tec Miniwave LED...

While the road work continues, the decision has been made to open Orange Grove ... as the work has proceeded past that point. Also, for this Memorial weekend only ...all the Peacock systems will be open ...then back to only Orange Grove being open starting Tuesday the 27th until the work is...

I've been diving the same US Divers Conshelf XIV's for over 30 years and keep them in great shape. To recreational depths I'll still choose them over any new regs. I believe the key is buying tested and tried good equipment (avoiding gear with cosmetic gagetry) ...dive it regularly ... and keep...

I've been looking for info on Abe Davis and seems all I find is info on the award and not on the man. What does anyone know ...or any ideas on where to look???

The harder it is to get in and especially out of my wetsuit. Any ideas...no matter how crazy!

You're being overloaded with lots of mostly good advice that to be absorbed and appreciated takes much trial and error - actual use of the various types. As previously said - each has its points. Rent, borrow, buy, sell , and buy again...give everything a try with an open mind.

I could'nt help noticing the bottle of shampoo for donning your wetsuit...??? Please enlighten me on this.

You've got all the gear loaded and car keys in hand ...last minute panic sets in...."what did I forget?" So the question is - do you have a check off list to refer to ? ...or do you simply throw stuff together , take a look around, take another look around , and then head out??? If you do happen...

Hello...yes, I could join, but I'd like at least one other diver experienced enough to dive the ear....ballroom, little devil , eye also!

Please tell me the dive plan ...anyone including the ear? if so, i'll see you there!

eat out less often... don't purchase impulse junk... scale back that cable/satellite program... if possible kill or scale back the other computer/digital/phone stuff... ...continue to dive as much as ever...relatively painless!!!

Most tech divers , cave - wreck etc - , prefer the added security of the din connection due to the increased possibility of hitting the first stage reg in an overhead environment and possibly even knocking the reg off the tank valve. 300 bar are deeper threads (more) and can be used in a 200 bar...

Previously I posed the question of "where do you store your gear" and I received lots of great feedback. What I actually meant to ask ,however, was - Where should you store your gear? In particular - items with o rings, hoses, etc like bc's , wings, regs is storing these items in an unheated...

Just curious...are you guys all tech divers or is it becomming a common practice for OW recreation divers to dive the 7 ft hose?...
