TS, I tend to come off like a pompous ***, even when i try not too. I apologize. What do you mean by end up on your back? Like facing the surface? In real life, i would probably do much like you did. Real shallow and slow as she goes. I for some reason saw you taking this gal out to...

15 ft max? I'll go bury myself now *blushes* 15 feet (although my dad will state you can die there as easily as in 130 ft) is a good first dive. This sheds more light on the subject. I took it as being more dramatic as it was. My bad. And your good :D What did you learn? ;)

Well done, perhaps. If we were in person and in another time, I would bow to your experience and training (I'm trying to say, you have a good deal of experieince (from your posts that i have read) and please take this as respectful). It would appear you and she were out alone. And i don't...

EEEEP!!! Is this the extrusion they speak of for the reason on requiring DIN for HP valves?

*hangs head* Yeah.... inserts is what i meant. Any problems with leaks or anything like that?

All, I have an Aqualung Titan LX with a yoked first stage. I am planning on converting it to DIN down the road a bit, but in the mean time, have any of you had any experience with DIN to yoke plugs. 200 bar manifold ( i heard they cant be used on the 300 bar versions). Thanks

Thanks guys IT was a couple o hours from orlando. Perhaps the attached pic (sorry its drawn from memory (and this was 10 years ago) will help. Supposedly there is a $5000 camera system under the rock that was dropped over the cave entrance (if that urban legend helps id the place.

I was certified in the springs..... great places. Perhaps you can help me out. My instructor....long ago, referred to one we did one of out open water checkouts as "Blue Spring" Shaped kinda like a sock and supposedly had the opening into the cave system proper closed by explosive. Is...

Thats your choice. But its a limitation you place on you. Nothing wrong with it, but if i didn't dive unless it was 80 deg, 80 ft viz and 80 ft depth, i'd NEVER dive. The last time things were that good was when i was at Vortex, and even then the temps were in the low 70s. In many ways, i...

A bit mathy ;) but Pyle's technique 1) Calculate a decompression profile for the dive you wish to do, using whatever software you normally use. 2) Take the distance between the bottom portion of the dive (at the time you begin your ascent) and the first "required" decompression stop, and...

30 mins to 12 hours, if i remember correctly. And yes, it was treating DCS. If he had wanted to prevent it, he would have done that underwater, via deco stops. I suppose in theory he could have been doing a dry decompression, but thats a commerical/military thing. Depending on the...

80 cubed? Man. Either he lives someplace really nice or he doesn't dive alot. 4-5ft viz, 45F (so far...possibly a bit lower ,but not much), any rec depth

As to the parts arguement, it depends on where you are. Before they were stolen, i had a pair of dacor pacer regs (rather old, diveshop rental sale). When i was in GA, it took 3 weeks to get them serviced due to lack of parts. I have a set of pacer LXs (ebay special) and my LDS here had no...

He does when they're attached to a diver like the one in question. :D

Late in the game. But ken, i';m sorry I missjudged you. Not a troll. I'm sorry again man.

HI all, I've been a jacket style BC user my whole diving life. THIS is a very basic question. I have a diverite aluminum BP and a set of RECTEC wings that i havent tried to use yet. Unless i miss my guess, the only thing that holds the wings to the rig are 2 bolts running from the...

Good point, Captain. That makes more sense. Why would you wait :)

You are confusing what should be with what will be. If enough people hurt themselves doing stupid things, the govt will feel compelled to save you from yourself. Thats the way it is. Seat belts? Belt up your kid but if you want to die, i think that should be your right. But the govt...

The GOVT shouldn't be involved. But if you advocate just letting skippy buy a tank and go dive, you're asking for them to be. Recent example, ephedra. NOT A DRUG. NOT IN THE JURISDICTION of the FDA. What happens? (according to the FDA anyway) a "bunch" of people are hurt or killed taking...

Did you try anyway? Admittedly, a reg is probably on piece of gear you don't want to be screwing around with, i'm just wondering how hard it would be to do. Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure i'd have to ask my LDS, just wanted to get some info
