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...

    black water diving

    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.

    Photographer's rant...when someone says, "nice pics, you must have a good camera!"

    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...

    Firemen's breathing sets

    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...

    Breathing from a 30ft. snorkel

    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...

    Breathing from a 30ft. snorkel

    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!

    leaky valve

    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...
