Hello, Please advise on first stages that are already set and ready for high O2 mixes. Accompanying second stage suggestions also important as a complete rig but, as we all know, the first stage is the important bit. Thanks. boogey

week 7....no patches.....aaaarrrggghhhhhh

WHAT IS A HOG RIG???? I WANT TO KNOW.....as I it seems everyone else seems to know. I have a single threaded webbing with 2 x large SISMB pouch (red for SMB and yellow for EMERG GAS) , pouch for spare mask, crotchstrap, net scissors at 2 locations, reel (70m on deco) (40m on single tank...

Curt, When the cylinders arrive on island they are not O2 clean, as in for high mixes. For me that would be, playing safe, 40%...do you have views on that??? That is using a clean compressor...BUT not HYPERAIR/COA. So, if I can cobble such a mix together...use some dive tables laminated...

I always wondered how to end a thread quickly on a US site....and now I know....Merry Christmas....lol. Boogey

Please reply in metric NOT PSI....useless piece of measurement...cheers...unike DIN...accept it... Ok don't but please LETS HEAR REALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS for psi, which do not exist

warmwater, Much of the problem of the UK divers (and I admit the same) snobberry. I am an ice and cavern OHE diver....no qua;ification but thats what we do... I have given up on Beuchat. I have 6 scubapro mk25 s 600 for my new deco rig.reasonable cold water rigs.... Merry Christmas...

AS I Mentioned...it rapidly detiorates into a "ME"fest.....your stories are crap compared to mine.... boogey

My Christmas day dive with my buddy Mark will be )2 18?He 30....MOD 73m..... I shall take some English cheddar cheese....and I WILL NOT TAKE A US SENSE OF :censored: HUMOUR. bunch of :censored: boogey OOPs sorry sceptics

would you like permesan???? He reads the crap....I get so annoyed with people...THINK FOR YOUR SELF...... Typical fireman/policeman/whatever to criticise inverts and YOU WILL SLAY ME for it. Off you go chum....inverts are for your job and running about...but not for diving... boogey

Clarification please?? Hog rigs are simple.but what point does a hog rig stop being a hog rig....??? In my view, a true hog rig is a waste of time. If you need to pop a YELLOW flag with your blown deco gas instructions.....a hog rig does not accomm..OR DOES IT??? Comments welcome...

All very well....the problem I have is the filling... If I would like a trimix of 18/30 and I dont actually get the 18....or the 30....the only thing I have is the 02 to go on. AS a novice, is that all I need to worry about?? boogey

Hi Bill, Apologies, no that was not my suggestion that you took your pony apart...but that might have at least been an excuse for a situation that should not have happened. I just chuckled to myself at the funny things that happen when you don't want them to....that was all. I did...

DIN... buy a converter to go to yoke but the other way is not possible.....in my view why limit your options when there is no need to. boogey

Quick question....because I want a quick (and dirty response, if needed). Twin 12 litres and twin 10 litres I have...all aluminium clylinders, with deco stages ali, and some pony bottles for bail out, steel. DIN. I left my steels back in europe......boo hoo. An eclectic mix of bits and...

I believe that Doc has managed to sum it up. It happens from time to time that me and the lads (Mark, you're included here) end up diving with a few cylinders of bail out and deco gas. Each reg is charged prior to getting wet, and then turned off or slightly on (depending on...

Is there a comedy section here for complete arses......if so.....I will happily join it with Dr Bill and many others.. 1. Look after your kit and your kit will look after you - Dr Bill's priceless moment, letting his pony fill with water... 2. Only let a qulaified technician handle your...

Hello all, Warm water....thanks for the replies....I was talking 40+ with surface temps at, just above or seriously below zero centigrade. Nice to hear someone else has had a bad experience with Beuchat. I have finally decided to throw them away due to the whole servicing issue and...

Hi, If you're going to Bonaire watch out for the donkeys, they are all over the place. Seriously, it's clear that you're concerned about your son but honestly, at the depths of the Hilma and other dives in Bonaire there really is no need for ponies. The sound advice I echo, and mentioned...

Hello, :05: I was just playing around with my OMS manifolds to check the O rings and unscrewed the right post valve and cannot get it back...doh. A typical kitchen table effort I'm afraid. Presumably, it needs a bench, clamp and a bit of pressure to get the threads to catch and screw...
