I purchased the "Roll Control Tank Rack" from my local dealer. You can get them online. It stands your tank upright which saves bed space AND I can assemble my kit and still clip it in. I have mine set up to hold 7 1/4 and 8 inch tanks. They are used on dive boats a lot and with the fold...

Xanthro and fellow pony bottlers, I have read posts where people travel with their pony bottle. However, my wife and I went on vacation and in fact just returned this week. We carried on our BC's (diverite backplates), regulators and computers. We had to unpack the bags and point to...

We just got back from Scuba Club and I liked the place. They are clearly a DIVE resort and that is all they do. You can do your morning boat dives eat, relax and put in a couple more dives later in the day. They have afternoon and evening dives throughout the week and the life right off their...

We leave for Scuba Club tonight, with layovers etc we'll arrive in Cancun Friday. Then off to Scuba Club on Saturday. We'll be sure and comment on the trip when we return. This is our first time diving in warm water...we are very excited! DrDuktayp

We're keeping a close watch here in Alaska. We're hoping that it will leave Cozumel alone. We'll be down Friday and stay at Scuba Club if all goes well. I'm sure everyone there was REALLY nervous. This is our first time traveling so we're pretty nervous too. DrDuktayp

The local LDS was filling several composite tanks the other day. He is a 'tech' diver and instructor. Anyhow, I was asking about them and he was quick to point out that the composite construction had very poor bouyancy characteristics. He said that the composite construction was great for...

I'd just pick up a couple of bolts at the marine hardware store. For the $3 spent you could spend the time underwater. Course I haven't dove for a week and am getting withdrawls. So, I may not be thinking clearly. DrDuktayp

I would have thought that the second o-ring in the Scout would take care of the flooding. I know how frustrating leaking is as I have a couple of those indicator lights from Princeton. You twist them on/off. I flooded mine twice and gave up on it. Yet my wifes is still fine. Did you use...

Tanks: Faber 108's (worn one at a time) Rig: DiveRite SS Plate with standard harness. Two D-rings on each side of the chest and one on the belt with one on the 2" crotch strap. DiveRite Rec Wing. Knife on belt to wrap long hose around. Regulator by Scubapro the MK25/S600. With a 7 foot...

We were in the check out line of Walmart and there was a 'slate'. I tried to convince my wife it was a good idea. She laughed and thought I was joking so I dropped it before she realized I was serious. Maybe I'll go back and get one. DrDuktayp

My wife chose the HP100's. She liked the bouyancy characteristics and we do mostly shoredives with a long rocky walk down to the "beach". She tried my Faber 108's and didn't like the length. Women tend to have better Surface Air Consumption rates once they are comfortable in the water...

If you are concerned about wear from the harness to your exposure suit, you can either make or purchase some neoprene pads that go around the straps up at the shoulders. We have two SS plates in our family and I have the ones made by Dive Rite and my wife has thicker ones that were made by one...

I've been following along and have also wondered about slinging a 40 instead of making a purchase for the 19. It is hard to know where my interests in diving will be in even a year. (we have 25+ dives since Open Water in May) If I didn't have a set of Faber 108's I would probably just double...

I located a website that has a unique method of holding the pony bottle. I haven't yet made it to try it out but I am probably going to..unless I run across a better idea. Take a look at http://dive.scubadiving.com/members/gearreviews.php?s=606 DrDuktayp

A small group of us are heading to Cozumel Mid September. We are all cold water divers (dry) and my wife and I have never dove in warm water. Would just a lycra skin suit be enough protection? Oh, we booked at Scuba Club, anyone been there or know of it? Thanks, DrDuktayp

Sheesh, what an oversight. DrD

This thread hasn't been active. Everyone must be diving or working on their trailer projects? I am going to start working on utilizing an old insulated milk truck for a dive rig. It is being retired from moving flooring goods. I hope to 1. Carry gear to and from site 2. Provide...

Yep that did it. Thanks a lot, DrDuktayp

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I looked at the Suunto site and didn't find any thing on this. Some of my dives are marked 'Tissue pressures invalid'. I'm thinking that something I am doing on the PC itself might be causing this when I enter my weather, gear & misc dive info. I...

I've often thought about purchasing an older boat and 'fixing' it up. I've kept an eye out and have seen some pretty nice boats sell for extremely low prices. Trollers in the 30-32 foot range are as low as 3000 with nice ones in the 8-10 thousand range. If a fella had the time and know how he...
