I use a few drops of liquid ivory (99.44% pure... pure what though??) I rinse it twice with just clean water, then 3 or 4 DROPS and fill about a third of the way with water, splash it around and shake for a minute or two, then dump and rinse. It will take about 5 or 6 good flushes to get all...

I saw a regulator second stage they were working on about a year ago in conjunction with poseidon that looked like an odin body with the diaphragm/exaust valve from an AGA mask. It was all red and had a good heavy duty body. The first stage looked like an xtream first stage piston. The OMS rep...

I use Poseidon metal body Cyklon seconds on Oceanic diaphragm firsts. The cyklons are cheap and easy to rebuild/adjust, work in any position (left or right feed, and upside-down), work deep, and keep the bubbles out of my face. The Oceanic firsts are cheap and easy to rebuild/adjust...

http://www.omsdive.com/ad-harness.html or http://www.diveriteexpress.com/bcs/backplates.shtml and scroll down to the polished stainless plate. The new OMS and DR stainless plates have slots for cam bands. I have an OMS and it works great with a single tank and a wing. the new oms and...

Unless you wear alot of underwear, you should drop some lead. I went from 36lbs in a one piece 7mil to 22lbs in a cf200, same hood, same gloves, same bc, etc... And that is with silk underwear, a one piece polartec and a sweatshirt under the cf200. I know guys that dive both wet and dry...

A CF200 will sink in the atlantic ocean. I don't know if the crushed material is neutral in salt water (and the zipper and soles add enough weight?) but it will absolutly sink (albeit slow) in the ocean. And the CF200 does not change bouyancy at depth. It is exactly the same as at the...

http://www.airspeedpress.com/ the regulator service book is excellent even if you don't plan on doing a full service to your own regs. and the oxygen hackers handbook is a good read also, it dispells many of the rumors and LDS urban legends about mixing nitrox, how complicated and...

Most people that buy it don't use it and get rid of it. I have had mine for a while and refer to it once in a while for little problems with my regs. the new ones have laminated covers so it holds up pretty well even with hard use. I'd sell mine, but only for about $40 and only if Vance came out...

Poseidons are very finiky regs. Don't get me wrong I dive metal bodied Cyklons, but only the second stages, they're bullit proof, comfortable and easy to rebuild. but the first stages are waaaaaay to hard to service and adjust. I use oceanic diaphragms firsts. The odin/jetstream servo valve...

Putting a nitrox mix in it now sets an MOD (maximum operating depth) within rec limits that CAN NOT BE VIOLATED. People have died breathing the wrong mix for their depth. As stated prior "its just for a few breaths" can throw you into a siezure from a cns hit. Because it won't be "just a few...

The OPV in the poseidon first stages was built in for the jetstream/odin second stage not the cyklon. It just happens that both use the same first stage. if properly maintained by a knowlegble poseidon tech there should not be any creep. Poseidons are very finiky first stages that take some...

if you didn't get the little book with your fins on how to kick, then go to the force fin website and watch the two little movies they have showing them in action. there is alot of good info on their website. It is a totaly different kicking style then regular fins. Its more of a bent knee...

http://omsdive.com/backplate.html look at this page from oms, it says the new IQ pacs have a single cylinder cam band system integrated in the harness with out a plate. when you buy it make sure you get a "new" IQ pac from the dealer, cause the IQ has gone through about 4 serious...

I think Dirty Harry Callahan had it right when he said "A man's got to know his limitations" Adrenaline rush is one thing, but pushing beyond your personal limits for a toilet is FAR beyond any rush. I myself don't get a rush when diving, I actually feel almost a little scared of what is...

the seeker took murley out there because he was with his instructor. the captain was informed by the instructor that he was ok to dive. I think in this case (18 months from OW to trimix) it demonstraits that if you have the money you can buy a card. he shopped around till he found an instructor...

mistake #1) trying to get a "#" on your computer for no other reason then to say "I went down to # feet"... when your dead the number will only be in an evidence bag on your computer. mistake #2) diving in an unfamilliar site to which you had no idea of needed thermal protection. Cold will...

how much for the oxycheck titanium door stop??? buuuuuuut seriously, how much would it inrease the price %-wise to make the outer bag of a bladder/bag style wing from something like kevelar? I have been told small custom manufacturers are out there using kevelar, but haven't seen anything...

The light up tank valve knob? has anyone else seen this? I don't get it. you take off your regular knob and this knob with a light goes in its place.... have you ever not been able to find your tank valve when you needed it? oh for night dives you say? I always figured the 1 zillion...

Doppler, I wasn't asking as a challenge, I was asking if you dove the doria, and if so, I wanted to know what you though of it. I also asked what was your "everest dive"? I wasn't bashing, and I even said that, I was asking for your ideas. I said I hadn't dove to the doria, and am not trimix...

Ok so I am no good at measuring current in the open ocean, so I guess 20 knots was an exaggeration, but I can tell you the current was moving fast enough to need two hands or a jon line to keep yourself steady on the line. As for run times, two hours is about right for most guys. the bottom...
