    Drysuit Gators

    I don't recall Golem selling gaiters or what style they were, but the price he's offering is good. I have Dive Rites and they're ok once you get them sized right. I always preferred the style of the Halcyons, but I just don't buy anything from the Big H. The Hollis ones are the same style and...

    Analox EIICO giving erratic readings

    If there is anyone that could pick up sensors at DEMA, please post here or start a new thread. With the revelation that they won't be available after July 2016, I guess I should get one even though my analyzer still works fine.

    Leaving from Phila.

    Plenty of great places. Belmar, Brielle, Pt. Pleasant, and if you feel like travelling really far there's Cape May. :D

    What brand alternate air reg/inflator do I have here

    Yes, it looks like an old Zeagle Octo Plus. But if it has a standard inflator, then it was modified and should be returned to its original state with the Zeagle/Seaquest large bore inflator. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

    WTS: Mares DIN regs for doubles/sidemount/bailout

    Still up for grabs as far as I know. But send a PM to Northeast with any questions. He may have learned to read by now. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

    Poseidon regulators??

    $250 is a great price. The XStream is the best breathing reg I've ever used below 200 feet. But they are a bitch to service, parts are expensive, and the first stages burn through servos on a regular basis. As for getting parts from NESS or the like for Apeks, etc., they are not usually OEM...

    I want a SCUBA laundry machine.

    The Rubbermaid one you have is already set up for a boiler drain. It's just like the hose bib on the outside of a house except that it is threaded. I used a pvc one with a ball valve. Attach a garden hose directly to it. The only disadvantage of using the bulkhead that it has is that it is...

    WTS: Mares DIN regs for doubles/sidemount/bailout

    Selling for a friend. Mares MR42T DIN first stages, one regular Abyss second, the other Abyss second is the Navy version (no idea what the difference is). Miflex hoses and an SPG. He wants $425 including PayPal and shipping. It sounds reasonable to me, but I will pass along any reasonable...

    I want a SCUBA laundry machine.

    That looks identical to my Rubbermaid horse trough except for the lower price. Best rinse tank there is. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

    Do a search within the Cozumel forum for "Sandro" and see what comes up. He's been a favorite for over 10 years. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

    Cavern dive instructor recommendations

    Just FYI, I don't know how militaristic Dan Patterson is, but I did my OC cavern/intro with "drill sergeant" Mike O'Leary and it was probably the best diving course I ever took. And according to his web site, he does a combo cavern/intro course for $550 if there are at least 2 people in the...

    Cavern dive instructor recommendations

    I will just echo a few things that have already been said. 1. Don't just do a cavern class. Combine it with intro cave, or whatever it is called by the agency you are going through. Cavern is too limiting and there is a lot to be learned in intro. But also do not do a zero-to-hero full cave...

    What agency has the most technical nitrox training?

    As someone who teaches remedial math at the college level, I am not amazed at all when people have to rely on tables and calculators. Unfortunately it is the rule rather than the exception, Dave. And most instructors I know teach students to memorize formulas or use the tables and computers...

    DIN Retainer stuck...and i mean really stuck !

    Heat in the oven is the answer if someone used Loctite on it, as I suspect might be the case. Otherwise if you think it is just salt deposits, you might try some Salt-X. But a lot of fresh soaking and repeated hot/cold water changes should otherwise do it eventually.

    Purchasing used computer

    1. Buy a good quality used reg 2. Take the first stage and use it to knock out the teeth of the person that told you not to buy used equipment so he can't give anyone else bad advice. Problem solved.

    What agency has the most technical nitrox training?

    These are 3 of the best posts I have seen that echo most of my disdain for the way most training agencies are geared toward more courses, more cards, and more fees. When you develop TNI as an agency, let me know. You should know that my Advanced Nitrox/Deco Procedures (2 courses combined with...

    Hoseless vs non-integrated Watch computer

    Everything about air integration and/or hoseless computers is opinion. And you know what they say about opinions........ As for AI, I've never seen the need for it. But there is one advantage. The pressure reading is digital. Most SPGs are not. Once or twice a year I calculate my SAC rates...
