Not many dive stores have BP/wings in the rental/teaching classes. I owned a store for 30 years. If I had a chance to start again, I would have gone BP/wing because it will allow me to teach with the equipment that I dive with today. As a retailer it does cause a problem on your bottom line. If...

Did you ask the dive store that you bought your kit from if you can practice with the gear during their pool sessions? That's if you purchased it from a dive store. If you bought it from the internet then you suddenly realize the value of supporting your local dive store. get in the pool and get...

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...

From Undercurrent update... 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...

Just took it to an Electric motor company and matched it up. Thanks for the advice!

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. Jim

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...

They are size Large.

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.
