That is a mighty expensive tank. I would say either buy as many used tanks as you think you'll need or look at getting a compressor.

I have the MK25/G260 and they are old enough to drink. They are tanks. The nylon on the G260 is getting pretty scuffed up and the cover that said MK25 disappeared a few years ago, but they still are indestructible. They will likely out last you. The swivel is a feature I like, but might...

Do you want to be the operator manning the phones at your chamber when a call from someone 90 miles away in hysterics because they *think* their husband is bent and wants to come for a ride, but first they have to call the one that is 30 miles away to see if they would be available and which...

I wouldn't buy based on a hypothetical future in tech diving. If you go to Bonaire or Cayman with a back plate/wing, you are going to find the locals have no idea how to help you. You will have to rely on some other guest, who may or may not know what they are talking about. Buy a good...

You need to pass the driving test. The State says you have the minimum competency to drive. You could, theoretically get dive gear and go in the water yourself and self instruct. That was how it was originally done. BUT... If you hand someone your gear and tell them what to do to dive and...

I have tinnitus and hearing loss. I have been using hearing aides about ten years and they can help with the tinnitis (which is a symptom of hearing loss). I have only had momentary vertigo. I had it once in the water on a night dive and the spinning was pretty bad. I think it was the result...

To be honest, after following this thread, I think I am the exact opposite of the OP. Instead of buying brand new gear to and selling to avoid service, I would recommend choosing a reg you like and buying used and paying to have it serviced. A lot of new divers get pushed into buying gear...

That trap doesn’t look particularly ghost-y to me. I haven’t come across any warm water trap (or nets for that matter) do they usually look that clean?

These days I have ceramic line cutter attached to my BCD. Never rusts and will cut everything but an anchor line an electric cord (haven’t been entangled in one of those yet).

I once woke up with this girl after a party in college, and had to chew my own arm off to escape…

But did you have a J-valve?

It's not like you have to worry that much about a wetsuit leaking. If it fits, no reason not to wear it. Neoprene stiffens with age, but it it is comfortable and keeps you warm, really no reason to spend money on a new one. You have other things from your original kit that you may want to...

Why would the Virgin Mary need a diaphragm?

Who the heck would come to ScubaBoard for sympathy?

This seems like a PIA solution to waste time and money. Just selling the old regulator is more work than paying to have it serviced. You sell it, you have to deal with some whiney bastard on eBay. You are going to buy the new regulators and have to configure them and make sure they are ready...

Didn’t you notice the sarcastic font?

I asked around (got nothin’ but s*** here) and then asked them. The sit down was 2/10, I guess, but I hadn’t heard anything. Like I said, it doesn’t have to be a grand conspiracy. And yes, I have a name.

I said they were no obligation to do it, people were demanding answers base on the reader's timetable. I am not going to sue them if I don't get what I was promised. I thought they were meeting with DAN in February. This is called a reasonable expectation. I want to know if there has been an...

@lostsheep How is this at all controversial?

I'm not looking for a conspiracy, I would just like to hear the rest of it.
