I'm cleaning out some space in my gear locker and I have a large Zeagle Tech BC with Air2 for sale. It's in excellent condition. $350 OBO. Buyer pays shipping. PM me for pics if you're interested. Thanks, and Happy New Year! -Adrian

I presume you've read this? http://www.admfoundation.org/projects/phantom/phantomcave.html I'd take particular note of the line that says "Access to the cave is tightly restricted and requires a special scientific permit. No other access to the cave or the surrounding property is allowed...

Getting TO Guam Space-A isn't difficult. Getting BACK from Guam is next to impossible on Space-A. Most outbound flights from Guam end up cancelled, postponed or rerouted. I got to Guam times in the mid 2000's on Space-A but always ended up having to fly back commercial after the Space-A missions...

Nope, pretty much standard these days for good quality courses. - Adrian

If there was a drop down for the first stage I missed it. My apologies. -Adrian

Scubatoys.com for the Mk17 & G260. http://www.scubatoys.com/store/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=ScubaproG250V Other retailers (like leisurepro) have the combo for $369. Scubapro dealers can sell you a second G260 as an octo for around $180. The 2-gauge console is a standard Scubapro item at $210...

New MK17 & G260 retail for $374. Add a second G260 for $180 and a Scubapro 2-Gauge console for $210. Grand total - $764, new with free shipping and factory warranty. Yup, $800 appears to be overpriced. $650 with free shipping would be a little more reasonable. -Adrian

Two dives at Breakwater today. Viz was about 20' with a lot of particles in the water. Strong surge as well. -Adrian

Seven seas has 50 steel tanks, no aluminum. Aquarius are all steel. All the divers I've interacted with (probably 90 or so) are wearing steel. The instructors I've met are all diving steel... The temperature factor is part of the reason for steel, but it's indirect. Diving colder water requires...

Really? I've been living in Monterey for the past four months and leading tour groups for one of the local dive shops. The only time I see aluminum tanks used (myself included) is as deco bottles or bailouts (on my rebreather). It's steel all the way. All the shops around here are the same way -...

Then you might do better specifying WHICH Mike you're asking since the OP is also named Mike. -Adrian

NetDoc: try www.adafruit.com. Limor Fried in NYC runs the company, she's big in the Maker movement and her forums are invaluable to anyone new or experienced. -Adrian

Wrench: the Mike posting is NOT the Mike who got bent, but one of the people who was along on the trip. -Adrian

We had a 150' dive planned for this morning on the wall at north Monastery Beach south of Monterey. I was up half the night with insomnia and after evaluating my mental condition I called the dive five minutes ago. I don't have the mental acuity this morning that's required for the dive tasks...

I personally think it's a really bad idea. What you're describing isn't "SCUBA" at all, since it's not SELF contained. The goal of DSD is to give the student the SCUBA experience, which means BC, weights, exposure protection where appropriate. That's not what you're proposing. I think that a...

- Take my MOD 2 class. - Spend some time on deeper wrecks in the Great Lakes - Plan for the tentative 2015 trip to Bikini

Did this ever sell?

I'm standing up on the point at Lobos right now. The swell is almost non-existent but the water looks like milk. There are three teams here. I'll try and get a viz report from them. -Adrian
