John, Sounds good! The small sailboat is in great shape and has only been used in a freshwater bathtub! PM me your address and I'll send you the small sailboat and you can ship me the dive gear. Thanks!!!

1st post, Good Price, Lots of stuff All caps. hmmmmm.....

I use the stainless DIN inserts from XS Scuba , OMS, Highland etc.. About $18-$15/ea. new. They come with an Oring in the end. They serve 2 purposes - one to keep junk out (just like the plastics ones) but also to keep the gas in the tank if the valve gets bumped open during transport...

Reef Tank I have one and I can attest THIS SUCKA IS LOUD for a whistle! I have one attached to my inflater hose for quick access. It's there so I can quickly alert other people in case there is a problem with me or my buddy. In that case I don't want to waste time digging through...

Let me preface my comment with I haven't dove doubles yet so I could be wrong in my understanding of how they are connected.... But, doesn't a Pony bottle offer a higher degree of redundancy than doubles??? With doubles isn't the manifold Isolation Valve a "single point" failure mode...

I dive a Catalina AL 19cu back mounted with a QuickDraw Bracket attached to the Tank Cam Strap and NOT to the main tank (in case the main tank comes loose you will lose your pony too). I mount it upside down on the right side of the main tank so it is really easy to just reach down and back...

Thanks Deepdvr1 - nice bracket!

ZKY - You're right about the weight difference. Do you think that we should tell Oren that he's suppose to DEFLATE his wing before he packs it??? ;) :shocked2:

I dive with an Octo, and a backmount pony. The Octo is for my buddy if they have a problem or if I have an issue with my 2nd stage. But the pony is MINE, ALL MINE! It's regulator stays on a necklace so I can get to it quickly and easily. I have the pony in case I have a 1st stage failure, do...

Tortuga Charters hands down - if you want a 6 pack with personalized service. They are in Moreshead/Beaufort. tortuga dive charters It was $100 per person, full day, offshore sites. The have 120 cu. ft Nitrox tanks already loaded on the boat that you can rent. The price assumed...

The OP hasn't posted in over 5 months... I think that is dead...

I'm looking for a Quickdraw Pony tank mount. If anyone has one that's not being used and is interested is getting rid of it please PM me. Thanks

Lee - all good questions. All are answered in a course - I found the PADI Drysuit DVD & book on Ebay for $15. Money well spent before you buy a dry suit. There are many different types. Also here is a link to DUI that answers many of your questions: Common Drysuit Myths I'm sure that...

Dr Wu - I highly disagree. A tank mounted pony is the perfect choice for this type of diving. He is a photographer and solo diver. Solo divers should have redundant sources of air. He may be so focused on waiting for his "subject" to move to the perfect spot or just the right light that he...

"The crotch strap goes a long way in keeping the rig where it belongs." Yep, I can see that - but I'm not really worried about the rig shifting "yet".. My goal is to (while on land) transfer almost all of the load from the shoulder straps to the waist strap which I will try to get to ride...

JahJah - Thanks for the link. I forgot about the crotch strap. His harness looks painful on the shoulders as most of the weight will be borne by his shoulder straps. For boat diving it's fine but if you have to carry your stuff very far it could be a "pain"!

I did try on the Dive Rite XL "Tall" Transpac. But it still buckled around my midsection (but lower than the XL). I'm 6'2", but have a long torso. I know that DeepSeaSupply makes a couple of really long plates. But what I want to know is where the waist belt is "suppose" to fit. Ideally I...

I'm looking at moving to a BP&W this season. I dive dry with single 130's with a 19 cuft Pony back mounted. I also have additional weights in my BC. Needless to say the worst part of the dive is the trudge to/from the water carrying all of that load! The BC straps really put pressure...
