I just saw a 100HP steel Genesis tank at sport chalet for $299 which I think is a pretty good price. They didn't know any specifics about the tank (in the typical sport chalet diving staff fashion) execpt that the brand is Genesis made in Japan, the K valve is Genesis as well made in Europe...

I think there is a lot of thruth in that statement. Looking at DIR equipment, I can't help but think that the profit margin in DIR products from company such as Halcyon or salvo ought to be very high... I have seen so many post from people that want to go DIR although most of them state that...

My LDS "hollywood divers" caters to dir divers but also to recreational divers.

I agree the Tokina 12-24 is a great lens...

It does look like a white-spotted to me.

The Proper term is Oronasal Resuscitation Mask...LOL I just did my (re) certification today taught by L.A county life guards (baywatch). Someone asked if lifeguards do usually use those masks. They say they never do, unless you have one right in your hand, getting one is really a waste of time...

I don't thing spring straps are a huge advantage on a boat, but they are on beach entry/exit, especially if the surf is a bit rough.

I am editing my own post because I think the spirit of the original question is getting lost... I don't really care to know if the guy was an idiot.... I would like to hear from experienced divers as I feel there is a possible safety issue we (the less experienced divers) can all learn from: So...

I did and didn't find it inconsistant. However it seems pretty clear that choosing to post on the DIR forum was clearly a mistake on my part. I have pm TsandM to relocate my post under the general "tech diving" forum.

Agreed, I should make clear that the comment was directed toward a single tank diving situation.

I very much wish you had PM me before deleting anything as to what my thoughts were. Or at the very least repost it under another broader forum. I am quiet stunned...why in the world would you do something like that? :shakehead The spirit of this post is about a possible safety issue, raised...

I took my DAN Oxygen first aid class a couple of month ago, and I have to say I am extremely surprised by the story. This is exactly what not to do. First as soon as the staff was infromed of the situation, they should have start administering O2 right away before even calling DAN. They should...

That's because you can't power an HID bulb from the battery directly you need a ballast. So what happen is when you turn your light on, the power from the battery charge the ballast and the ballast power the bulb. if you turn the power off, the electric charge that was in the ballast is lost and...

Thanks, I am starting to feel a bit better... Again this was a very awkward, very bizarre situation. This man was in his sixties, seemed very experienced by looking at his equipment (doubles, deco bottle etc...) and was, well pretty insulting and almost angry toward me. It really got me thinking...

An interesting story happened to me today and I really would like to get the DIR/tech divers opinion on the subject. I have been needing a float for my L.A County ADP class and found a very good one at a good price on craig's list. I called the guy, we agreed on the price and I drove to his...

great pictures...

I can't see any lumen info. on any of your lights. Is this info available? Also are any of your lights self-focusable?

What is it with Americans and Speedos??? The rest of the world wear them except American men... What's the big deal?

Maldive is very expensive, probably on of the most expensive destination in the world.
