Wear a vest with hood next weekend when you are hunting on the east coast. It has been cold on the bottom and the hood will keep you from hearing the alarm ;). In all seriousness, you should think carefully about your hunting habits. It is not really smart to push high ppO2's on dives where...

Not sure about the 3 gas computer but on the 2 gas version the pO2 limits cannot be set by the user. You can do 2 things: 1) Dive to whatever pO2 you choose and ignore the warning at 1.4. Not sure why anyone would want to do that but there is no penalty for doing so other than the alarm...

Serial numbers?

24" on the secondary works well with doubles as it routs from the left post, but may be a tad long for a singles rig. I think 22" is more common and I use an 18" with a right angle even for the backup. You can breathe the backup with the necklace in place without any issues. This lets you...

Do you still have the tanks for sale? Willem

I thought this was a bad thing. Please explain. Willem

Cut the guy some slack. Can't you see he's not certified.

I'm with you. I've never had anyone explain why the 1/4 turn back. If anyone has a valid reason, let us hear. Or ignore if this is to much of a hi-jack:eyebrow: Willem

Cut the guy some slack. All divers, even uncertified ones, can make it all the way to the bottom. It's the "making it back" part that takes skill. Willem

The count-down timer stops if you ascend above 10 ft. It will resume counting if you descend below 10 ft. until you've completed 3 minutes. I have a Duo and after a battery switch (first new battery after >year) it did exactly what you describe. I wasn't sure if it was a battery issue or...

Went through a few of the small DR safety knives and they would not hold up at all. When you needed them they had no edge even if they didn't look to badly rusted yet. Finaly broke down and got one of these. Fits in the same pouch as the DR (with a little mod). Bought spare blades with the knife...

Take your boat and a dive buddy to Rainbow River and launch at the K.P Hole park. Also do Three Sisters in Crystal River. You can do your own boat dive there with no worries and no bubble watcher. I still recommend finding local dive buddies, boats or not. You will pick up a wealth of...

Welcome underwater, Start boat shopping ;). I'll share a few thoughts. I've been boating for many years but only been diving for a couple. I'm not sure what your boating experience, but a 14'er with only 2 people and dive gear is loaded to capacity or better. That leaves you with a little...

Yeah, survival rates for the fish that magically appear at the Pet Fish Store is much, much better. If the OP has a marine aquarium I believe there is a good chance that he knows the husbandry involved in transporting his fish. If every fish keeper went to the trouble of legally collecting...

The can is sealed other than for battery maintenance - not regular charging though. Can any of you point me to documentation that states that Li-Ion chemistry needs an open vent during charging? I know the cells - my post should read 18650's, but I can't find the edit button - are designed with...

Here's a light I made. Head is Mag mod and can is 3 "Banjo" brand polypro fittings. 2" cap, 2x6 nipple and 2"x3/4" reducer. 3/4" cable gland fits into reducer. You have to charge from the head, but it fits 8 1860's in a 2s4p pack for 7.4V and ~8 Ah. Can cost maybe $30. Pressure tested to ~100...

Unless you have huge feet, slipstreams would be hard to make work for a warm water diver. Fins are tough to recommend since everyone likes something different. I like my dive rite's and they're light but not so cheap. Come with spring straps though... Willem...

Hi, Just finished Cavern in November and it's a great class. I think you're missing something. The first "level" of cave training is Cavern certification. Then you go on to Intro to Cave, Apprentice, Full or Cave 1, Full Cave depending on which agency your training with. There is no "Intro to...

Those are polypro fittings - 2" cap, 2"x6" nipple and 2" x 3/4" NPT reducer from the Banjo fitting company. It has a 3/4" cable gland from McMaster-Carr in the top. he fittings was ~$6 a piece so less than $30 for can. Willem

Here's what I built. It has been in a pressure pot (old paint spray-pot:D) to 7 ATA but I have not had the chance to dive with it. It is the same SSC P7/driver/reflector combo from DX and it is bright but I don't know what it looks like in the water. If anyone is interested I can look up and...
