    Do you pickle your filter media?

    A Shamwow? Holy wetwipes Batman do they still make those? Does anyone still have their set of free ginzu knives?:D I would imagine that you'd not want to introduce any felty thing into the chamber once you've had it running for a while (maybe a Kime-wipe if you can afford that kind of...

    Do you pickle your filter media?

    Ah I see said the blind man. So I'll need to regenerate mine because they're all pink. I understand that 200F in the oven for a few hours will do the trick, yes?

    Do you pickle your filter media?

    Hi Ray - I got my moisture eye from you. Are you still able to get the 10-20-30s? Also, this may sound kinda stupid, but could you post a few pics of what a "lavender" indicating disk looks like please? - ie is it deep lavender or just sort of different than the pale blue hue that the disks...

    What wings are you using with your Freedom Plate?

    Oh its stiff alright - not sure how it'll be when wet but its polypropylene and shouldn't change - bites my shoulders a bit without a wetsuit and just standing up. Got it from DRIS Hog Gear Hogarthian Scuba Dive Package - Great colors I like what they sell in general... Coincidentally, I...

    Negative entry vs Using a downline

    Fits the short 100 just like I'd hoped and where I like my tanks on my backinflate. Gonna try to get it pool wet this Sunday. That'll be the proof in the pudding....

    BREAKING NEWS: New Lionfish Legislature For Florida!

    -this is no slam on reefman - I dont know his intent with this link---- I've never heard of "The Week" so I have no idea of what kind of articles they produce or readership they have. That said, anytime I read a headline that has deliberately provocative words that conflict with each other, it...

    Do you pickle your filter media?

    Hi Jim - as you can see that's the filter tower I bought from you, incase it wasnt obvious. Not sure who does your machining but its a nice piece of work. My Rix set up doesn't have auto drains, unless you count the man-in-the-loop kind. So I'm the culprit for leaving the pressure in the...

    Drysuit transitioning blues - a lesson in humility

    Maybe a block of salt. Except for the BP/W discussions, I don't think there is a piece of gear like "your preferred dry suit" that gets divers more foamy at the mouth....

    Drysuit transitioning blues - a lesson in humility

    I'm gonna assume someone else has chimed on the plus side for the Whites, but I'll add my .02. I pool dove one - the first dry suit I'd ever put on. Cake. It was cake to manage. For me it was no different, perhaps even a bit easier than my 8/7semi dry, which has no learning curve either. I...

    American's New Baggage Fees.....aaargh!

    So if I mentioned that I'm flying my own plane to Cozumel next week, would I be bragging? You too could afford a plane - only 40k; less than the car I bet most of you drive. But alas, I'm just stirring the pot. I wish I had a plane. The bottom line is you can't take your money with you. If...

    What wings are you using with your Freedom Plate?

    errrr...dunno really. It is right from the factory I believe, drop shipped to me, arrived today. Jim LaPenta hooked me up. He's up a bit higher in this thread somewhere. Drop him a jingle, or maybe he'll chime in if he reads this....

    What wings are you using with your Freedom Plate?

    LOL! ref: the original inflator, yeah it came that way - I'm sure that's a foul as well - with the hose on the outside, it might get caught on a stalactite, oh no Mr Bill! But I agree with you. I like my inflator hose on the outside.

    And here I was thinking you guys would jump all over me because I was insinuating a cynical attitude! That's worse than NYC. Too bad there isn't any coral around the Statue of Liberty....

    What wings are you using with your Freedom Plate?

    Just mounted the HOG 32 to the FP. I'm no expert, but this strikes me as a touchdown. The outer material is meaty. The bladder, well I dunno about that - its a bladder I guess. It is the same color as a hogs stomach - not sure that's intentional. As Eric mentioned the wings tank bars fit...

    Do you pickle your filter media?

    Thanks Swamp - this has been super helpful and I appreciate your patience in explaining it. I don't ice dive (no dry suit), though I do use cold water regs for added piece of mind. At worst I'll see low 40s in the quarry teaching (mid next month), but then again that's on the LDSs air (Grade...
