I have three myself with 250 HP's/V's. Why they stopped selling these in the US is beyond me as they were, arguably, the finest reg they ever made! I had one ScubaPro Engineer tell me he thought the reason distribution was pulled from the US was they were effecting Mk25 sales, although, nobody...

I could give you that one!! I always avoid that problem by having an extra bottle of He, so the problem is foreign to me!!

Our standards here tend to lean toward 30 or 32, that's all.

Please, don't think I am questioning you, but I, for the life of me, can't think of a single reason to have 100% He in an al40!!

The curse of living near the Graveyard of the Atlantic!!! with a 50% hit rate from Raleigh, it can be depressing at times!! My hit rate is closer to 80% here in the coast!! Basking Ridge. Most of our known wrecks here have an identified Hard Deck, and it is provided to the diver when he books...

Got me by a couple of years- I graduated in 79. Worked at the Northport Marine Center for a few years and Went to School at Grumman, prior to becoming part of Briarcliffe. Taught Scuba with Ed Teidemann at Farmingdale and a couple other schools before he opened up his shop, then moved to...

Yep, contrary to what some might lead you to believe, there is not central authority providing oversight and certifying organizations are still being created, such as NASE in 82 and SDI starting in 92. Are you a North Shore boy, or South Shore?? I grew up near Centerport in the 70's and 80's...

All True, but nowhere near as funny as what Rich Keller said!!! ---------- Post added February 15th, 2015 at 11:21 AM ---------- I actually really enjoy this guy. Near as I can figure, what he really is accused of selling is Bogus PADI Card and using PADI material without permission. I did...

Oh, and to answer the question of: 1.2 for working and salvage, 1.4 for recreation and 1.6 for deco

Actually, it's more like a ton of feathers vs 2000 lbs of lead. 50% of O2 exposure is the same, regardless of the PPG. You'll just achieve 50% faster at a higher PPG, assuming the same depth.

I wish they would stop posting that article, I'm getting a complex!

Actually, you are much better off with either the Red Cross or American Heart courses. The DAN course, while a nice primer, is not a recognized CPR course anywhere outside of DAN. Their newer Course, CPR for Healthcare Professionals Meets the guidelines for AHA and ILCOR 2010, but is somewhat...

You didn't say where you are and believe me, that can make a difference. Here in NC, I have multiple VA centers, each with counselors who may, or may not, get diving. We have five different guys getting training through us and the VA is paying for it all. Directions include Rebreather...

Scotty, Missed this one from you earlier. If you get in a pickle and want to get crazy, c'mon over and I'll put you on the lathe and mill. I have plenty of 3" and 4" delrin rod lying around!! ---------- Post added February 14th, 2015 at 05:51 PM ---------- Also, if you want to get really...

She's out of country right now- may be a little slow to respond.

Dear Lord!! "Welcome to ScubaBoard, where the simplest questions become obfuscated by the id." Might have to become my new tagline!

Just cut it off flush, and then stick something into the ring to retain the form. Using a scouring pad from your sink to rough up the surface a bit, then give a lite wipe around with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). Just a wipe, not a saturation! Use your glue of choice (most like Aquaseal. I prefer...

Latex works fine, put a rubber ball or some such thing inside the ring to keep its form. Tom's post could be taken as saying silicon seals are not available in zip seals and this is not the case, but, they are substantially more expensive and, quite frankly, don't hold up as well.

If only they made dive gear!!!
