There is a good reason you wear that hat. I made some of those statements and I completely concur with what you have said - I'm not even on the DIR list because I can't stand the internal bikkering that seems to be always going on... I think what I was getting at was the desire to improve...

Keep in mind that most all the neoprene out ther is made with latex of some sort. If you go to San Diego there is a shop - I forget the name, but I will find it for you. Big T

Hey David, If you are thinking about diving that range in the near future - I would 100% go with an Apeks setup, TX50 for your primary and TX20 for your back up, that should be on the cheaper side and you simply don't get a much easier breathign reg - I believe that a number of people here...

Ok, I know this is getting nitpicky - but I am looking for pro's con's between the ds4 and the us4? One is sealed and one is not - correct? Use will be on doubles - I plan to retire my mk20's to stages, I'm keeping my G250's though for now. Doubles, Puget sound primarily, deep and trimix...

I wonder if you can just get the book - I like to pre-read before I take a class... Anyway - I guess I'm working up to tech1 for starters... Big T

Ok, so now I just spent another bundle of money on dive gear and you will have me going of to the bookstore too??? Jeez - is there no end... Big T

Hehe - I can't resist this... I thoguht you said "light" - I have a 50w AUL with a 12v 14ah battery - that woudl be about 20lbs for the battery alone - but it gives 2 hours of 50w light and that is almost enough for a couple of night dives... Hmm - Texas huh? I'll have to chew on that -...

Welcome to the boards... ScubaBunny mentioned the Cochran and I can attest that it is not a conservative computer - you do have the option to change the conservatism to your liking too... Here's a sample, last night we dove to 100fsw (I actually went to 105), both divers on EAN31, buddy ha...

I don't fit the Cressi mask skirt either so that mask is out of hte question - however, I think Scuba Pro just came out with a similar mask and they will have a different mask skirt that might be a better fit - try both... Big T

I do agree with you LD and I think Dave is clearly doing the right thing by asking here - he has also stated that he is new to diving and at that point maybe he needs some advise from a shop - it is hard to say if the shop he went to is good or not, I know shops I consider good that only sell...

Thanks TekDiver, I was wondering about that - I have taken G250's apart next to TX50's and in between myself and some techs we had a very hard time finding out what the difference was... Big T

Some good pointers there - I am an advocate for the BP/wing setup - but I would like to say that Dive Rite is extremely flexible too - if you need an XXL cumberband and a say M/L shoulder straps - that is no problem... I chose to remove my cumberband all together and just use the belt...

You will love it. I know about moounting to the tank like that - my question then woudl be - how easy is it for you to turn the light on and off? I just reach down and flip the switch... What halloween dive? Where? Big T

Hey Mike, I can do that for you in about a heartbeat... I have a friend with a Ranger, she enjoys is as much as you do (I think)... However, try to mount a canister light on the waist belt... It took some serious fiddling for my friend (since there is no waist belt), it had to be added on...

Hey Tracy, Another thing to consider is if you ever go to the coast - like WA or CA - ALL dive shops up here stocks at least a couple of difgferent lines of dry suits - neoprene and trilam... Many shops in will have demo days where you will have the option to try out different suits - see the...

Hey David, I think what this boils down to is partially also your comfort - I can completely see how you like the online price better... As far as teh regulator - figure that it is about $80 a year (parts and labor) for service - and as you know - life support equipment is probably on the...

NOBODY - told me that I have to wear a snorkel to do the DM thing - I'm rapidly changing my mind on this stuff... :) Big T

Now that makes sense - hmm, am I seeing anyone bringing out the pimp stick and the hat here? :) Sorry that your local shop is not satisfactory - I guess I am really spoiled with mpore good shops than I have appendages... Big T

Yeah - I kinda figured that - still cool. nice car btw - can you fit all your tanks in that? ;) Big T

Tavi - I always thoguht your neighborhood looked a little crummy... I got mine at 10% under MSRP... so I don't see a big fuss there... I guess we have more street lighting where I live... Big T
