    ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2014 Roatan

    I'm ready, but since I have been sitting on my butt all winter gaining that 10lb. spare tire around my belly - my legs are trembling thinking about all the times I have to climb the boarding ladder.

    Ignore/Invisible Option

    I just kind of tripped over this eyeballing the post list and thought I would take a peek. As I read through this, the hair started to rise on the back of my neck. As I personally am not a believer, I don't have an axe to grind in that regard... However, there is a difference between your space...

    How you met scuba diving

    Summer of 67' Sixth fleet, USMC. After an amphibious landing training exercise on Sardinia, we had a couple of days on the beach setting up comm networks. In my free time walking along the beach, I came upon 6 or 7 Navy divers checking out their gear and cleaning fish. Sat around for a while...

    Can you show me pics of how you attach hard lead to rig?

    I don't have any pics, but the easiest way is to use weight pocks with a loop on a cam band. I bought flashlight holders with a velcro flap and loop on the back. I poured lead into an anchovy can that fits the pocket. The cam band ( one inch if you can get it ) will slip up or down the tanks/s...

    Divers looking for Roommates for the 2014 ScubaBoard Invasion to Roatan

    I am interested in contacting your father, we should be about the same age and snore about as loud. I have not committed yet since I'm solo this year.

    Special Training to do Swim Throughs?

    As a big swim through fan, the only answer is that buoyancy control is critical. You don't want to be bouncing off the walls. Other than that, why does everyone have to be "taught" everything. Diving is like any other sport where you have figure out a methodology and safe practices. A swim...

    That is good info... when I'm traveling light - Thanks. My wife does not dive and her checked bag weighs 50lbs. and I'll bet her carry on weighs 25. I bring my gear too which is 50lbs. if lucky and another bag so I have some clothing. I'm stuck with the ferry too.

    Scubapro S600 / MK25 Cold Water Freeflow Issue This Weekend

    There are 2 types of S600 seconds... One has a nylon tube and the other has a metal tube. The metal tube should be good to go in near freezing water. The g250 has metal, but can be hard to find, so the G250V is what I have in addition to the S600. Take the cover off, the diaphram out and check...

    Today!

    I can sympathize... My son was 5'-11" 180lbs., 16 years old and had the attention span of a cow. You won't find a better man than him today, but I swear, if I had known what to do with the body......

    WOW-too good to be true??

    It will never work since it would have to run many hundreds of gallons of water per minute at 100% efficiency to provide enough Oxygen to breath. Since water is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, where would the corresponding nitrogen come from? The air we breath is about 20% Oxygen and 79%...

    Full on, and a little off

    Turn the valve open all the way against the stop. The valve "back-seats" to seal the stem from leaking. I don't why that 1/4 turn was started in the first place... It is self evident that the valve is open if it is back-stopped and there is pressure in the hoses. Push in the purge after checking...
