Here, I'll cover lined steel tanks: "If your steel 72 has a liner, tumble it for a week to try and get the liner out. If it doesn't come out, toss the tank because it isn't worth that kind of trouble." Next? ;)

Sounds like you're the proud owner of an LP95.

Hehe I took that photo in September of 2007 if I remember correctly. :D Bob, I'll put together a little photo and video packet for you real quick, give me just a few minutes...

Good, good...*rubs hands and laughs manically*

I honestly can't believe someone is saying that they won't teach nitrox until "advanced air". At the end of my open water class I had an nitrox card.

I have a mix of PTs and PT-LEDs -- they are absolutely fantastic and practically bulletproof. You might be able to find some used. Post a "want to buy" ad and see if anyone is willing to sell them. I grabbed two PTs (original xenon, not LED) for $35 each a few months back from someone who was...

Not sure where you went, but NADCO in Greensboro has always treated be very well.

Usually a fixed focus light is set on the tightest focus to begin with.

Same thing with overfilling LP steels to 3600psi...:popcorn:

There's a reason for that -- and it might have something to do with your location. :eyebrow: How many people in New York think they know what is good for you, better than you do? Whatever happened to "the customer is always right" (especially when the CFR sides with the customer?!) ...

The only time I have my light on the wide setting was when we were doing some video work in a cave, and we were too cheap for video reflectors. Team of 3 -- one guy out in front, two behind side by side, each with our 18w lights set to wide open, lighting up the guy in front plus the...

Note: Non-DIR answer ahead... In this case -- I'd go at it alone. Depending on the dive I probably wouldn't even bring a pony bottle. I've done dives similar to this but not quite. Awhile back I went on a meg-tooth hunt dive off the coast with a buddy of mine. This was our first dive...

"Tank factors" in my GUE-F class 2 years ago.

PST LP95s are 24.75" tall, and LP104s are 26.88" tall, according to this chart. Looks like you might have an LP104, assuming they measured somewhat accurately.

What you are looking at is a Pressed Steel (PST) LP95 or LP104. PST used this mark on their cylinders: "IA 81" If you look at the photo on Ebay you can see the standard PST font and style of lettering on the cylinder. It is difficult to tell the height from the photo, however. If...

I am under the impression that GPS systems aren't allowed on trips like this.

You have made ridiculous claims about currents before, and still do so. If the current were 1.5-2knots, most scooters wouldn't make headway, much less a person. How did you VERIFY the current, other than saying "hmm.....looks like 4.5 knots......" ??

Wow that kid was awful -- hanging on to the wreck, swimming with his hands...yeesh. ...and don't get me started on the quality of the video. :shakehead:

I still say this is all a bunch of Chicken Little... OH MY GOD WE HAVE EXPLODING CYLINDERS LEFT AND RIGHT!! IT'S A PLAGUE ON MANKIND!

I will again say that this is really a Chicken Little scenario. Our economy is in the toilet, millions of people are losing their jobs, our country is going down the tubes, millions of people die every year due to completely preventable causes... ...and we are discussing the possiblity of...
