I think OP’s numbers are reasonable. Regulator servicing has gotten expensive. Here’s a quick example from a well respected company: Service for Regulators In short, $245 total, parts and labor, for one first stage and two second stages. DRIS might be slightly cheaper, depending on parts...

That is the last model of the old style dry air bleed design. It should use a piston that has a separate module screwed into it with a laser drilled hole and a plastic filter. It’s the most capable and reliable of that design: it can actually be cleaned without clogging and replaced if...

Zero. The sensors aren’t capable of delivering that level of accuracy, so that level of precision is meaningless. Besides, because of that lack of accuracy, the sensors won’t actually alarm until they detect at least 3 or so parts per million. If it’s 3.0 or 3.1 or 3.2, are you willing to...

According to this, two AL40 weighs 30 pounds, basically the same as a single HP100. So it’s a wash: your config and double HP100 weigh the same. But seeing as you’ve said you don’t need the extra gas, use double LP50 or LP72 and save as much as 20 pounds… And wearing a set of LP50 doubles is...

Yes, the device you are describing is very much not the one that I covered in my review. Unfortunately, it seems the Amazon link I included is now mangled, so I included an update with a link back to the manufacturer website, as well as a screenshot of the device so that people can be clear...

Something triggered my review of this post and I see that my Amazon link is gone. That makes it difficult to know which one I’m talking about, seeing as Forensic Detectors now makes at least two, one of which is supposed to be more optimized for scuba applications – but is double the cost! Here...

All of that information is outlined earlier in this thread. It always pays to read the entire thread. :-) TL; DR: Faber didn’t actually perform the hot dip process, and the supplier who did is shutting down. Same reason why PST quit making them as well: it’s the opposite of a ecologically...

That’s me! That’s me! :) I’m very much looking forward to fleshing out those kind of numbers myself. As part of the class of course I did a 1000 foot swim towing the scooter, so I have a usable number for gas planning, but I’m really looking forward to getting a better understanding of all of...

I’ll leave in a couple days, and I thought I would bump this one more time just in case anyone was interested. Happy to deliver between Detroit and Gainesville next week!

Most of my time is filled, but the final weekend is open. That’s December 6 and 7. Anyone up for some cave diving that weekend?

I may have missed the fact that people were talking about hoses for use with pure oxygen. If so, I apologize: I was coming at it from a breathing gas perspective. Pure oxygen brings about a whole raft of additional issues. I do not have enough proper training or experience to feel comfortable...

I echo what @Tracy said: Parker 527BA is their Breathing Air (hence BA…) hose. If you want the exact right tool for the job, that’s it. Parker 520N is Parker‘s version of SAE 100/R8. I have seen both the Parker version and other brands used fairly extensively in scuba and SCBA applications...

Sorry, no. No green laser, and all the OrcaTorch lights I have are 18650 or AA.

Dive Lights Megasale! If it illuminates the water on a dive, I probably have it for sale here! For the most part, I just want this stuff to go to someone who will use it. Open to offers for multiple pieces. All lights are tested out of the water. They are not tested (or warranted) in the...

Heck, pay for the fill and you can borrow one of mine!

Hello! My trip is just a couple of weeks out and I've still got a few open days. If you are in the area and have room for a dive buddy, send me a DM! I look forward to diving with different people, so get in touch!

There's two drysuits: https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/diving-concepts-front-entry-telescoping-drysuit-custom-approx-size-l-510.651993/ https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/andys-trilam-front-entry-drysuit-size-2xl.651992/ The Force Fins are Force Fin Pro, size XL. I can't say...

I'm two weeks out from heading to Cave Country. So, if you want something delivered between Detroit and Gainesville, now is the time to get in touch! Make me an offer! It's always easier when I'm already going that way... Or shipping works fine, too: I've got very competitive shipping prices!

I'm two weeks out from heading to Cave Country. So, if you want some bank bottles delivered between Detroit and Gainesville, now is the time to get in touch! Make me an offer! It's always easier when I'm already going that way...

I used to be worked up about the plus Hydro, so I very much understand the logic. But honestly, to me, 72s don’t make sense unless you feel them to 3000. And if you’re willing to fill them to 3000, you’re already willing to ignore the “rules“ so what difference does the plus make? Not gonna...
