We will be working at San Nicholas for the full 7 days doing a marine life survey. I am kind of awe struck that I am going on a trip like this and getting paid for it. To say I am stoked is an understatement. Thanks for the help ‘yall.

I am going on a work dive job in October in the Channel Islands and will be staying on a liveaboard for 7 days. This is going to be my first west coast dive so I am itching for the opportunity to be involved in this project. Are the Channel Islands pretty much drysuit year round? I am an...

I love using the Dry 5 Gloves from XS scuba on the 90mm rings. Its a bit of a pain to get everyting stretched and the inner smoothskin seal inverted under the o-ring but the combination of dry neoprene gloves with the ease of the kubi rings is a perfect match.

I do a LOT of printing with ABS on a TAZ 6. Here is the setup I like, your layer height should be about 120% of your nozzle diameter. So if your nozzle is .3mm then set to .36mm, MagiGoo on amazon is the bed adhesive you can get, and lasts forever. Your parts will not lift if you use...

Im game if y'all are looking for a third. I can get some numbers from work for some wrecks. Heck there is even a Navy Hell Diver in Buzzards Bay.

Well as an electronics nerd that does underwater electronics for a living I must say that can lights are very fun engineering projects. My newest design that is in prototype phase will have its drawings posted online for all to see and copy(once the kinks are worked out), is an absolute beast...

when we do something like that then use a 20ft section of rope tied to the platform with a small weight at the other end. Stretch the rope out and drop the weight., mark GPS locations. When you come back to recover the equipment just start tossing a hook with a rope around and snag the tagline...

Marine Electronics Ltd. - Acoustic Release

This is actually what I do for a living, so I may know a thing or 2 that can help you out. We use acoustic releases and using a surface transponder you can send a signal to release the buoy. The preferred release has a "jacking screw" that is turned by a motor and will spin a piece that the...

I have had a bunch of fogging issues in cold water. I have 6 masks and all fog in cold water, even when new. I just had them serviced over the winter and they all still fog. Just a heads up.

I'll take it. Sending pm now.

Ciao. Welcome to SB, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. I lived in Sicily for 4 years and loved every minute [emoji41] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I am offshore right now and won't be home until the weekend. The train wreck is five minutes from my house and is an ok dive, but 100 yards away is a very impressive dive that nobody does. The rock wall on the jersey side with the boulders from when they blasted for rt 80. Some swim...

I have a horrible knee from my days in the military. I found by far the best fin hands down is the scubapro seawing nova. On previous dives I would be hurting bad halfway through the dive, now with the seawings I do 2 sometimes 3 dives a day without a problem.

Ray, I am interested in adding a little extra filtration. Which would you recommend, one of the personal filters inline with my fil whip or an extra filter tower installed inline with the output of the existing filter tower. Also the personal filters, are they capable of having JIC fitting on...

Well I got all three running good. I took the filter housings off and cleaned them out with simple green. The unit spun freely, so since they were basically empty I topped them off with oil, ran it for a little bit and did an oil change. The oil that was in there looked like honey so I did a...

I just won yesterday a pallet of 3 (what appears to be MCH-6) compressors from a govt surplus auction. I am planning on verifying all of them run and then passing them on to the local Dive Recovery Unit. The dive team will do their own air testing on them but aside from oil and filter changes...

I am looking to rent a cabin on a lake in the summer and found lake willoughby. I am looking for clear water and not a lot of traffic. Has anyone personally dove there? Is it as awesome as it looks? Any other recommendations? Thanks, Eric

I too am local and always looking to get wet. I head to work tomorrow and will be out of the country for three weeks. I will give you a shout when I get back.

So a little background first. It is starting to get a bit chilly in the North East and getting to be Drysuit season. I pulled out my trusty Viking the other day and put new seals on it and it has definitely seen better days. The thing seemed to be composed primarily of patches, but still got...
