You have an old US Divers KBM mask, and a couple of Poseidon Unisuit neoprene drysuits. I owned two of those suits over a period of 7 years. I also got to use KBM Masks too. There is a lot of neoprene and rubber parts that could have aged over time and would make the equipment unsafe to dive...
I have a Mako/Bauer K14 compressor which we converted from a 3 phase system to a Single phase 240 system. I had it at my dive store and we last ran in in October. I have a video that I can share if you send me a message with an email address. I am selling it for $3000 plus shipping (The buyer...
The OP's example of diving labels come from the Philippines. I have used them since the late 80's and have ordered them for my friends for a while. They also come in a black background and white letters. As mentioned previously, they do not stick well to rubber, silicone or wetsuit material. I...

Liveaboard Dive Boat Oceanic Explorer Sinks. On October 25, the Oceanic Explorer III sank during a typhoon off Bauan, in the Batangas area of the Philippines, south of Manila. One crew member died, while seven other people were rescued. The 128-foot steel vessel...
The doctor I that I saw was the one that talked more about concentrating on a visual reference to get my spinning to stop. He was not an ENT. He was a doctor who was a Hyperbaric Medicine Specialist in the department that I worked in. He was also a Colonel in the US Air Force who dealt with...
I have had multiple experiences with vertigo in and out of the water. I know that my experiences were directly linked to my inner ear. I have been a diving professional for 40 ears and I only started experiencing it in the last 15 years. It has already been covered by people already so I won't...
Good Morning,
I have a 1985 Mako (Bauer) compressor and have misplaced my owners manual. I need to replace the belt and I do not know how to ID the part to reorder it. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you notice your sensation when you were ascending or descending (even 2-3 feet up or down). Here is a link to a condition that you may have experienced. I first experienced it in 25 feet of water when I swiftly swam above somebody in front of me to avoid hitting them. I was so taken aback...
Find somebody (multiple if available) to dive with who uses a BP/wing, preferably somebody who has used one for a while. A lot of people purchase the equipment on the internet without really touching the product. If you decide on a Hogarthian harness you will need help in adjusting the straps...
Another reason why people use an STA is when it comes time to use them on twin tanks, you just have to take the STA off and the systems goes right on to the Twin tank assembly. It eliminated the tedious job of having to re-thread your tanks bands everytime you dive with a single tank. It also...
Did you have time to use the suit in confined water (swimming pool or shallow god vis lake) ? I quickly purchased a drysuit back in 1979 (Poseidon Uni-suit) because I started doing commercial diving work for the dive store I worked for. I was trained with the suit in the pool. Back then we did...
This unique system is intended for dives where the risk of a glove leaking as a result of damage is high or the diver prefers to have a redundant seal on their wrist. To provide this redundant seal, ZipGloves-WD are equipped with a WristDam™; a donut-shaped wrist seal.
Teach the skills while lying on the bottom, instead of being on your knees. Whoever the. Instructor is has to do every thing in the horizontal position in the water. Unless you can demonstrate your position proficiency in the skill, it will be difficult to show your students how to do it. I was...
You have US Divers equipment. The regulator is a Conshelf SE2 that had a larger diameter hose for the primary regulator. US Divers has a major problem with the cases on their plastic 2nd stages. I replaced a lot of dayglow octopus cases in the early 90's because of cracking. The refs should be...
Before Halcyon started selling regulators, Scubapro regulators were the choice of most GUE participants. Maybe David Rhea had something to do with that:wink:. Now my knowledge about the Halcyon line dates back to 2010 and I know for a fact back then, they were made by Scubapro and were...
