What are your reasons? I am currently deciding on the HP100 or HP130.

6-11-09 afternoon dive. 3-4 ft viz at Alhambra blocks. 5-6 foot viz in 22'. Viz worsened as afternoon west winds increased.

In the water when full, the X8-130 (11.7 lbs) is not much heavier than the X7-100 (10 lbs), so the sink like a rock reference isn't quite accurate. However, the X8-130 may feel like a rock/boulder on your back due to its size. In the water when empty, the X8-130 (2 lbs) actually weighs less...

NetDoc, could you post a picture of the backside of that megtooth necklace, so that I can see how it is mounted? Nice touch using the copper wire. What gauge is the silver wire? Thanks

Joe, I am having the same problem with my reefmaster. When I take a picture, the camera shuts off, even though 3 out of 4 battery life bars are showing. I use Sealife recommended NiMH rechargeable batteries in my reefmaster. What is strange is that I can put in a different set of...

I do not think Energizer makes a rechargeable Lithium battery that is AA and 1.2 to 1.5 volts. Most likely, you are using rechargable Energizer NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) that is 1.2 volts. There are rechargeable AA Lithium Ion batteries available, but they are 3.6 volts, and could damage...

While fossiling, has anyone had any interesting head-to-head sea life encounters? Back in Feb, in 2 feet of vis, I saw an interesting shaped rock. Just before I reached for this 6" meg, it moved. Then this giant eye, right in front of my mask. Turned out my meg was the rear fin of a napping 3...

I'll try to take some shots the next time I go.

I agree, looks more like a mako tooth. I found one similiar in size at alhambra two weekends ago.

Here's a shot of the Mako upper and I'm guessing a Snaggletooth lower from yesterday's dive at Alhambra. At 500 psi and 4 hours below i was about to end the dive, but decided I would suck my tank down to 300 for a few more minutes of hunting. This is when I found the mako. Found a few large meg...

Today 12:30-5:00 Alhambra Temp 75 first dive, 73 second dive Vis was pretty good, 6'-10' throughout dive in 15' to 22' depth. A light brown snaggletooth lower (I think) and a 2.5" mako upper.

Today 12:00-2:00 Alhambra At 16' depth, vis was 2'-3' At 22' depth, vis better 5'-8' Vis improved once in 20' feet of water Found a few meg halves, my first horse tooth, a 1.5" meg in decent shape, and an average shape 2.5" meg.

Thanks Kupu, but the one Dacor manual they have does not include the 900 1st stage (early 1980's), which is quite different from the one shown in the manual.

Wondering where I can find a Dacor Pacer 900 service manual. This was my first reg, and would like to clean it up. Thanks

HAHA. The vis was so bad, I assumed the pipes were cubes, similar to the ones at Alhambra. As soon as I ran into it, literally, I turned around. If I remember correctly, the pipes are in about 19'. To get to 25', you must go out pretty far.
