    Non professional divers taking very young children diving (even in a pool)

    I haven't posted on here in like 5 years, but this thread was at the top of my trending threads in Tapatalk. I just stopped by to let you know that I support people having the choice to act like grown ups, provided they are willing to accept the consequences. Having worked for several dive...

    Fusion Sport Dry Suit Package, Mens LG/XL

    Well, in all honesty, I don't need a pee valve and there is free shipping if I buy a new one. If this doesn't sell in a while and you wish to lower your price, then feel free to contact me. If not, no worries. Also, I do not fill my profile out because I don't care to do so, but I have hundreds...

    PRAM Freeflow

    That's the other important point that Nemrod just mentioned. Bryan will fix it for very little, and he always backs his work. I have had nothing but good experiences with his business.

    PRAM Freeflow

    No worries man. I just wanted to make sure that the proper procedure was disseminated. I admire the fact that you were trying to help Richard out, when you could have left him high and dry ;) There are far too many people who would've ask why he wanted to dive a piece of old gear, instead of...

    PRAM Freeflow

    The procedure listed above is for a DA Aquamaster, not a RAM. The two are different by design as far as first stage function. This is really an easy fix, and you should do it just like you would on a single hose reg. Here is exactly what I would do to fix your reg. BTW a PRAM can easily hold...

    PRAM Freeflow

    Richard, I would second Greg, Captain, and Nem. I consider some things, like IP adjustment and second stage seat adjustment, to be well within the "end user" realm of things. I am not saying that you should break the whole thing down, but I think it would be a great move for you to nail that...

    Burned on Ebay

    I got burned on a mask on Ebay. It said it was new in the box, but what they meant was "in a new box, but mummified." You just have to think that while other people are paying 600 bucks for a regulator, we are getting ours for 20-50 bucks. So even if we get burned once and a while, we are still...

    Horse collar

    Also, the term "Mae West" does not really refer to a horsecollar. It refers to older style skin diving vests or aviator's life jackets that made the diver look like Mae West. Those cannot be used for buoyancy compensation at all in the practical sense, as they lack an overpressure and feature a...

    What do YOU enjoy about diving?

    I like knowing that I repaired or rebuilt everything that I am using, and that the entire reason that I am breathing underwater, looking at stuff is because I took the time to learn the skills and abilities to put myself there. It's like zen. I don't like cattle boats, instructors with 100...

    Horse collar

    I use a horsecollar as well. I dive it when I am mandated to use a BC by a dive boat typically. What Nemrod said is correct, if you have good buoyancy control and the ability to weight yourself properly (as in not overweighted), then you can just use the horsecollar to account for wetsuit crush...

    Voit Reg

    Hey man, my neighbor is looking for one of those. PM me, or have your friend PM me. I'm sure he will give him around 50 bucks for it to hang it on his wall.

    Mario, I bought one of the masks from Vintage Scuba Supply and they are very nice, high quality masks. I think you will be pleased with it if you purchase one.

    Diving Education Today

    I like you man. Amidst all of the arguing, here are my thoughts on OW skills. At the most basic level, you can survive any situation if you are trained. You have all the equipment, but depending on it means that you might die if the equipment fails. If I can drown proof, then having a BC on the...

    Diving Education Today

    You are missing the fact that you (the donating diver) are holding the reg and you have a left hand. If they do not give the reg back, then you take it back. That's why you do things like count and signal, because it helps keep the other person calm. That's also why you assign menial but...

    I frequently drink and surf scubaboard, though not when I am clocked in for Uncle Sam.

    BSAC on “Hogarthian rigging” and “Primary take” for “out of gas response”

    Nemrod, That dive was no joke. I had a scop patch on my neck and I still threw up once. Aqualung's new BC is really slick, I never really use a BC but it looks pretty high speed. I remember when we came up and the boat was gone. That made me feel a little uncomfortable. It's a good thing that I...
