On one of the trips to the UB88 I was on, the T-shirt was removed by Ainslie. Thanks for giving out the numbers.

That was the point of my previous post. The web site was listing retail price of $300 when I first posted this thread in the classified. Looks like they are having a sale going on now maybe for the holidays. Since you replied to this thread, I thought you might be interested in the manifold...

That's pretty funny because that's the web site I used to price the manifold. They were charging $300, so I figured I'd charge $200. What are you looking to pay, Smoothdiver?

I have for sale a 300 bar DIN XS Scuba Twin Manifold. It is brand new in the box and never been used. $200. Thanks.

Well written. I had wondered the same. Thanks.

Yeah, now that I reread his post, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't believe that he's planning on going down to 150 ft on his own. From his original post, he's seeking a dive agency with whom to train. Hopefully, the technical dive instructor he uses will be able to help him make that assessment. In my tech class, we never saw water deeper than 80 ft...

I didn't say card collecting and taking classes would make you the best diver, but it's definitely one way to log dives if you aren't comfortable going out on your own with a buddy. LOL. I agree with you though that you're missing a major part of the equation to becoming a good diver if you...

I used to keep a spreadsheet itemizing every purchase. Over the past couple of years, that practice has long gone. Ignorance is bliss...

It actually occurred to me just this past weekend in a conversation that some people may enjoy the progression more than the diving itself. I had a Tech classmate who went from OW to PADI Instructor in 6 months. Never actually taught a dive class. Then, he was immediately hot and heavy to...

If you have a good GUE Fundamentals instructor, they'll be able to make you better regardless your level of proficiency. Even if you don't want to go down the GUE pathway long term, I still recommend people take GUE Fundamentals. The skills you learn there will be applicable to your diving...

Congratulations, Wendy! Kudos to you for persevering through your own challenges and reaching your goals to get through the classes. Sounds like you've gotten some really great training via top notch instructors.

What's custom back mean?

Thanks to Walter, Jen, and Vincent. Didn't know you could shoot a pumpkin. LOL. Happy Halloween!

GUE isn't the only agency around. As much as I value the training, I also understand that it doesn't appeal to or isn't right for everyone. No big deal. They do have a no smoking policy. If you don't agree with it, just find another agency with whom to train. There are a lot of choices out...

If it's crushing your jewels, just loosen it.

+1 here on advising you get into a drysuit as soon as possible. You will eventually need to go to a drysuit if you want to pursue technical diving. IMHO, the transition to the drysuit is the toughest transition to make in terms of gear changes. While you are getting comfortable in your drysuit...

If you have questions about how to set-up your equipment, I found this book "Dress for Success" by Dan MacKay helpful when I was just starting out diving the system. I still go to it as a reference guide at times. I know that Hollywoodivers sells it, and you can order it off the GUE website at...

Cody, I know you have utmost respect for Bob and Steve, so I think you need to add an apostrophe in the last sentence in the word "were" since you just called them chumps online. LOL. I'm not the spelling police, but I think you might want to edit typo in this instance. ;-)

If possible, I like to try out new-to-me equipment in a pool.
