    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    Bashing? Or is it just calling it like it is? Feel singled out be AZ divers? You and your shop are getting hammered. Why? Maybe it is your response to this thread and the OP might not be getting a fair shake. Or, allow me to make a guess here, is it really because your shady business...

    Foot pain...Any ideas?

    yes.... If I'm in the water, no booties, no fins, no pain. If I'm in the water at the surface w/ booties=pain In water at surface w/ booties + fins=pain In water w/ fins and boots @ depth= lesser amounts of pain So to answer you more specifically, if I'm not doing anything except...

    Foot pain...Any ideas?

    Actually, I just shortened them up. They were too loose this past weekend and kept coming off my heel. Even that loose, still had the pain. I think mikerault might be on to something. I assume most foot pockets on fins are somewhat wedge-shaped, like our feet, no doubt. I'm wondering if the...

    Foot pain...Any ideas?

    Thanks for the ideas. At one time, i was using the XXL Tusa's but they felt too floppy and seemed like they wanted to fall off. I have since switched to spring straps and the proble stays the same. I'm wondering if a wide-width booty is the answer. Anyone know if there is such a thing...

    Foot pain...Any ideas?

    Thanks, That's something I might try. It's an odd thing. Not a true cramp, I don't think. Once I get it, it's hard to get rid of, regardless of foot position or movement. I could be static at the surface, floating, and still get the pain. Maybe I'll see if I can try out a different maker...

    Foot pain...Any ideas?

    I have an interesting problem. I have done a few searches and didn't come up with much. It seems that I have pain in my feet (both) when diving. However, it's a bit odd, let me explain. It occurs on the surface of the water, usually, kind of an achy, crampy pain that starts on the top, of...

    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    I was about to ask the same question but ya beat me to it... Business as usual? I don't know. I guess I just don't have any faith in that shop. They (SS) haven't really been understanding, in my opinion. I know they have a "no refund policy", of which is arbitrarily enforced, as a...

    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    May be a good argument to service our own regs? After all this, gotta admit, the idea sounds pretty good. I work with my hands and with small part all day long. Maybe I can get in on a repair/tech class somewhere.... Darin

    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    The way I see it, it's like this. You use a parachute. It fails on you on the way down. You have to go to your reserve. You corner the shop that packed it about it then they say "Well, let us do it again for you...." WHAT!!?? :11: Um...NO.. You had your chance to work on my life-support...

    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    I....can't.....believe this... Even with all the criticism, you seem to have a cavalier, “did nothing wrong” attitude. Ok, lets ASSUME that the reg problem wasn’t your fault, for the moment. Do you really thing your posts and mooning, finger-shaking and attitude improved your position and...

    Scuba Sciences Regulator Repair Problem

    At this point, things are pretty much irrelevant as to who/what is at fault. I have a job that can be classified as similar to a tech's job. I work on peoples' equipment that they quite often rely upon to help save their own lives and lives of other people. I know the importance of good...

    interesting weighting question

    You guys rock! Thanks for the great info, I'm going to try all of the ideas, one at a time. Never thought about moving the tank a bit higher, I'm gonna try that, as long as it doesn't bang me in the back of the head....I've always put it down pretty low, well, my 5'7" body doesn't allow...

    interesting weighting question

    Hi all, I got an interesting, issue. I hesitate to call it a problem because I've just learned to deal with it and it doesn't seem to be a big bother. See, here it is. I've got lead legs. If I remain motionless in the water at depth, my legs will soon sink, making me vertical. I have...

    where 2 dive

    Well, good thing I have a drysuit.... Thanks for the info all. I'm leaving in a few days now. Actually, I'm finishing my Divemaster this weekend, so maybe I can find a shop to do some weekend or part time stuff. I don't want anything that'll require a huge commitment because I have a job that...

    Shoot a Scuba Tank?

    I believe your talking about the 6.8 SPC. Rumor has it that it was a joint effort with some SF guys and Remington. I haven't been able to do the research on it but from what I hear it is ballistically similar to the 7.62X39 that's so popular worldwide. I built a rifle chambered in the 6.8 SPC...

    where 2 dive

    So......is there any other time of year where you can dive in anything other than a Drysuit? I don't do 7mm's anymore. Period....I hate them. A 3mm going to help me at all? Darin

    where 2 dive

    Thanks for the invite, we'll have to take you up on it when we get settled. I know initially I will be working quite long hours at my new job, so I might not be able to dive right away. But we'll try and get something planned. I got a feeling I'll be using my drysuit a LOT more back...

    where 2 dive

    Hi all, As you can see from my countdown timer, my wife and I are moving back to Washington State in a few days. We are from Washington originally, but have been living in Phoenix, AZ for the past 2 1/2 years or so. We got certified here in Phoenix and haven't been diving in Washington...
