When it comes to bcd/wing inflators would it be better if the button was two half circles, each was a separate valve and you had to push em both down to inflate? Redundancy if you will? Or would same issues persist?

Hello! There is a meetup.com group called the DC MD VA Scuba group or something. We have happy hours, and they have been doing a bunch of trips. I am going to try to do the pumpkin carving thing with them at Lake Phoenix in a few weeks.

I just saw a $3k revo here in NoVA. Not divecan, no predator, no RMS. Just assume people are flushing out some of the toys. Economy is wonky and jobs are a little bit shaky.

Sorry to hear. I backed a kickstarter some time ago and it ended in an apology wrapped around “It’s not going to happen.” I assume with Jururna the government got in the way / made it too difficult / slow rolling it.

The tiger shark had enough of the rate increases and upcharge for HD.

There was a different case where someone breathed off of a bcd/wing that wasn’t clean and sterile. Bad enough it killed him! https://www.undercurrent.org/UCnow/dive_magazine/2011/EmergencyBreathing201106.html

Seems like green laser pointer could be useful for signalling planes.

I have a C96 o2 unit and this kind of reminds me of it. I dig the evolution in the computers. Not sure I dig the counterlung setup. Could clean up the o2 hoses by moving to an integrated pushbutton type thing like c96 or LAR. Is o2 addition manual? Does the computer vibrate or buzz? Definitely...

Hello, Plastic body on reg (50d non technical model?) cracked around hose thread. Leaks water. I assume service kits are still available for these (if not please advise!) Instead of tossing it, if someone has the plastic body minus other parts in their parts pile I’d be interested in buying...

Would a prop guard be realistic to help keep body parts off the blades? Or too much resistance and maintenance?

Bought mine from scuba board from a similarly sized fella. No complaints. Just know what you are after and compare sizes. Communicate with buyer.

I feel ya dude. Hope you are well! I dig Phoenix but a little variety would be good.

Anyone know what the latest is with Juturna? Last I heard they were working on government issues and an older NSA plane was added. Anything new?

Hello all, I have a gently used scuba pro drysuit that I take a few times to the local freshwater quarry (Lake Phoenix, Va) a year. The stitching is starting to pull out around the wrists. I have trimmed it, but I dove it and more is coming out. Is this something where I should put some glue...

Very cool! Get to know them maybe they will rent you the suit after you establish relationship with them. I used to deal with them and LDC when I lived in Norfolk/VaBeach. Did some of my courses thru CBDC (which was Dive Quarters at the time.)

When I did my CCR training with Coral Edge Adventures in Northern VA I was able to use one of their drysuits since the quarry (Millbrook) was coooold. You might of hit it on the head though, most LDS probably avoid renting them due to the expense of keeping a ton of sizes, everyone needing a...

When diving a CCR without the exhale bubbles you can hear really well. An audio alert if a computer is in the red would likely be heard by a buddy. Unfortunately many of the Shearwaters controllers don't have vibrate or audio. The newest ones do, unfortunately a reallllly expensive (but easy...

Thinking about getting the BMCL kit for my Prism2 early next year. Anyone switch to one? Any opinions? WOB good or bad? Does the wing push up against the CL restricting it? More difficult to clean out the CL when they aren't easily removable? Not that I have ever needed to, but draining...

Any updates to this one?

Im pretty sure if you take a packed tight scrubber and vibrate it a bunch the sorb granules will indeed settle even more. I have noticed packed tight scrubber that I started with seemed to have a little room after tearing unit down for cleaning. That was after driving 3.5 hours to site on paved...
