I inhaled super heated air from an explosion when I was 19, so I'm an air hog too.. Having an additional gas supply is essential for me to continue diving and getting the most from the dollar I spend doing it. Buying some giant tank is not going to help you on a dive vacation where you don't...

There are two other very good reasons to hold off buying into an expensive gear set. One is that you may not like the sport for any number of reasons. The other is that you may find some medical condition which could prevent you from diving. Buy only the gear that has to be fitted to your body...

With the tank mounted on your BC at the proper height on the plate, the regulator you will use with the port you choose for the hose on the valve, with the BC on and adjusted to fit, standing up or on your knees so someone can reach the valve. Connect the hose to the BC, loosely run the hose...

I was trying to intimate that flash rust is NOT a problem. Oils are and other contaminates like water that can make it into your cylinder by way of gas fills. My 20cu.ft. 100%ppo cylinder has flash rust, I knew it when I screwed the valve in the day I inspected, tumbled and hot cleaned it. It is...

I have tumbled tanks, washed them out with hot soapy water and before I could get them dry... A slight film of rust was re-forming on the inside. This is completely acceptable and unless you coat the inside with a water soluble chemical which binds to the the surface, you are going to get his...

I switched from an aluminum plate and harness strap to a Transpac because you can roll that up in the travel bag and it is infinitely more adjustable without having to slide straps through the plate when changing from wet-suit to dry-suit to none. For side mount it is great, you get a little...

Scuba Pro regulators, But dive rite harness and wing.

No... this is what I searched and this is what I found... Nothing said about recreational. Key words Computers – diving, occupational diving, decompression, dive profile, decompression tables Introduction Dive computers can be accepted in some occupational diving sectors as tools for managing...

It depends on the trap. The trap between the first and second stage will have the most but all traps will have some moisture. There is usually not a trap between the second and third stage since you will be working at or above 500psi and they get pricey. The trick is that you do not want water...

I went back to my post to get a picture and discovered an error in my statement: I said $6000, not right. That cost includes all my SCUBA cylinders, bank cylinders, compressor, Oxygen generators and test equipment. This is the $3000.00 compressor

You can add an adjustable pressure cutoff switch... 0-6000psi. - like the grey box on this setup, EBAY - have to look for it. don't pay more than 60 bucks, it is surplus. Cut your power cable and put the ends across the normally closed switch. Remove the whip and add a "tee" for a 316SS line to...

That compressor on EBay may not be suitable for the use they claim. I sure would like to see a mechanical drawing on that job. It looks like it is a stacked 2 stage compressor. I'm guessing the piston from the lower cylinder is driving the high pressure ram, which would mean both are stroked...

The OP's question was what computers are used for tech dives... Not about tanks and valves, gear rigging and safety procedures. I assume the OP was interested in trying to determine which, if any, computer they might consider to become their own. My question was centered around testing...

There are a lot of things you can get to do what you want which most often requires another party to provide, to the extent of the items or the opportunity. Like skis, hang gliders, para-sails, guns, cars, off road vehicles, SCUBA, motorcycles and dirt bikes,,, and so on. A what point do these...

Often wondered why Liquid vision and Shear water is not included in most Decompression studies...http://www.nurkopedia.pl/images/9/92/Sayer_-_Decompression_management_by_43_models.pdf

I don't think it is diving that is going to kill me, I think it is skiing. Few years ago, after the ride to the top and looking out over "china girl", Daughter says "you are going to ski that?" me, why not, been doing this a long time. Son-in-law says "that's not in the job description - we'll...

Pull the bladder completely out of the jacket, inspect it thoroughly - inflated, try to over-inflate it using your breath only. The seams, dump valve and the inflator areas. Make sure it is not patched. If the bladder is colored, look for fading and/or de-lamination - that indicates some...

Meant "bank" cylinder, the big one. They load it into the back of the truck laying down on a pallet I made to keep it stable when transporting. They can get maybe 25 fills before the pressure drops enough that they can't use it. they bring it back @ 2500psi and I top it off. That runs the...

I have about $6000.00 and 50 hours of labor into my compressor including all the extra filtering, auto controls and the Oxygen generator bank. There is no way I can get a price point to justify it, and I knew that going in. But I do have the convenience of being able to store my tanks at 1000psi...

I think the suggestion of not buying anything until AFTER you get through training and a little more experience is well founded. There is a great volume of gear out there that can be perplexing to sort though. The best way is to rent what you think you like and try it out in conjunction with...
