now I feel as better about my collection. I have 6 steel 72's and 6 al 80's. I do alot of local lake diving and week long trips to lake powell and renting a tank for a whole week for just one dive was way too expensive. plus I live over 1 1/2 hours from closest dive shop so grabbing a tank for...
I was curious on how you and your team monitor depth, air, acent rates, and the such in black water? I recently participated in a vehicle recovery it was shallow (38 feet)and was quick (15 minutes) but it got me thinking about how it gets done when visibility is not.
I have to agree that a lot of it is the photographer but I know that when I use my "expensive" camera I do get higher percentage of better pictures than when I use the "cheapo"
and when I was in high school photography class we did the "regular" camera vs the everybody with a "cheapo" and the...
couldn't you easilly modify the O2 regulator by taking out the pins that they have and modifying the seal disc, if you look at the old 1/2 valves they are very simular to the medicl tank valves any way. but if you knew somone that was handy with a mill they could mill an insert that could be...
the units are calibrated for their area of use. also the difference in a thousand feet of elevation in air are insignificant to the difference of a few feet in water. the difference from 960 milibars to 1050 milibars is only about 2 psi. therefore a SCBA which is set to have 4 psi(I could be...
you guys kill me how does one go from sucking air down go to sucking water up? way different. but since it was brought up, even some of the best vaccume pumps in the world can only pull water up about 30-40 feet or so, much more and the pressure on the water becomes so low that it will start...
when I was a young kid in a pool with a 10 foot section of PVC pipe I learned the hard way that this is impossible! when I put my mouth on the pipe I immediately had all of the air I had pushed from my lungs so fast it hurt and I actually stopped swimming that day. so it is impossible!
that would be fine for me but the wife is brand new and she doesn't like the doubles idea. and to keep the wife happy I can only get stuff that is for her too.
sounds easy (I am slighlty mechanically inclined) but where do I buy the repair kits? are they universal or do I have to know exactly which valve I have? I found a shop that will do them for $15 each but they take a week and I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to the shop. so if I could find the parts...
once I met an "expert" who found out I was a diver. he proceeded to tell me about diving off the west coast one time in 23 degree water and the caught some lobsters and when they got them back on the boat one of them got lose and cut the fule line with his pincher and they were stranded for...
this past year I had all of my tanks hydroed (they all passed:D) but now I have several valves that need to be serviced. where is the best place to get valves serviced? can any scuba shop do it or are there special places that do it? also one of the valves is an older 1/2 inch thread valve is...
thank you for all of the advice. and I am ok with the sleeping in the car and eating ham samaches made from the ice chest the wife is a little bit more "needy" we just got back from Catalina and loved it but she (the wife) HATES the 7 mm suit and hood. so that is why we are looking for warm...
I am wanting to go on a (warm) dive vacation but I am poor (ok and cheap too) but I would like some thoughts on the best place to go and get a dive vacation for about a week near the end of the year that is the lowest cost overall, package+airline. I have found many "deals" but half of the...
