    Poseidon Cyklon

    I use cyklon second stages on my main regs. I have two metal bodies, one with a short hose the other with a slightly longer then normal hose. The cyklons come in two versions, metric and american. Be carful which one you have, if you try to screw an american hose into the metric first or the...

    Can I get opinions on the E8-119 VS. The old PST HP 100's

    to anyplace that lists the new specs on the E8s and E7s, the PST scuba website only lists the aquapro and aquasport tanks. Any place that has the new spec as far as sizes, weight, and capacity? or am I looking at the wrong website? I was looking at PSTSCUBA.com

    O2 clean for mixed gas?

    the pressure in a firearm made out of titanium can reach 30-40,000 psi when a cartrige is fired, and I havent seen any problems with titanium guns being fired and burning the frames. lets look at an engine, normal compression for a high performance motor is roughly 13:1... thats 13 times the...

    OMS Oxygen O-2 Analyzer

    and the din adaptor fits both my 200 bar manifold and my 300 bar manifold, so I'm guessing somewhere along the line OMS changed it from a 300 to a 200 wheel... And the extra 30 bucks I paid for the din adaptor is worth not having to hook up a reg and dial in the flow to use the analyzer...

    Are single tanks used for wreck penetration? (+)

    ...leaving the o-ring off one of the tanks for a quick test. This I have seen and unless you tighten down the valves with a wrench, you will get a pronounced hiss when you try to fill it. Even tightened down with a wrench (which you should never do) you will still get a slow leak that will...

    Are single tanks used for wreck penetration? (+)

    anyone here ever blown a neck oring? if yes what did you do to the tank to get it to blow out and what type of tank was it? I've never known any one who saw one blow, even shop owners I know on a personal basis have not seen one go...

    Are single tanks used for wreck penetration? (+)

    and no its not the angle of death in bottle. A single tank with an H or Y valve and redundant regulators is a very safe alternative for someone not ready to step up to manifolded doubles. The only situation that can't be resolved with an h valve as opposed to doubles with an isolator is a...

    Which DIR harness with or without the cheststrap?

    buy some softer webbing. alot of guys like the super stiff extra hard webbing, I guess cause they think it lasts longer or something, but if your plate is burr free (takes a few minutes with some elbow grease and a piece of sand paper) the softer webbing will last just as long and doesn't have...

    replacing drysuit boots

    if you don't have the time or know how, DUI's shop will work on all brands of drysuits, not just their own, and I can vouch for their repair work. its fast turn around time and top notch work are worth the price.

    1st stage fail into BC?

    the newer poseidon first stages have a OPR valve built into the first stage because a jetstream is an upstream design that if the IP gets to high it will lock it tighter than a frogs butt. if you have a jetstream octo, thats will lock up also, so the pressure has to go some where, so thats why...

    The Great local dive shop vs. online debate

    there is alread a couple of guys here in NY who decided that if you can't buy your fills online, then just open a fill business. they have better prices for mix fills and will do every thing from air to trimix. its run out of homes, and the only overhead is the initial cost of the equipment. you...
