I haven't dove Tahoe yet but was looking at heading up to Meeks Bay mid week (in a few weeks) for a dive.
Where is the best place to park? and where is the entry?
Are there any fees?
I'm looking at Google Maps but cant really see the best area.
Where did you park and dive?
Cheers

Here are photos of the valve and the seat

I am trying to service a valve but it uses a fine thread valve seat. There are no markings on the valve indicating who made it.
Any suggestions on where I can find these valve seats.

I cleaned the valves and after speaking with LF they recommended changing the 3rd stage piston and sleeve. I did the replacement the other day and having the same results. Looks like I need to order the valve replacement kit.
I'm not sure to be honest. I know it is no the Utilus 10. It might even be the U-1. Your interstage pressures are what i was expecting.
I guess I'll open her up and clean the 1st stage valves. I'll get some on order too.
Before I open up are there any specific tools I need? I'm going to dig...
Hi guys,
I have a Utilus compressor from, I think, 94 and I think I am having an issue with it as it ‘seems' to be taking longer to fill cylinders than what I remember. It also appears that the stage pressures are lower than they should be according to the manual.
At 3000psi I am getting the...
Thanks Iain,
It was only run for a very short period to see what the pressure ran to to make sure it wasn;t the safety valve blowing at a lower pressure. Stuck out here in a remote location in Honduras there is a distinct lack of parts/bits and pieces and there was no T available.
With...
Ok so here is the update. Check out the video - pretty self explanatory why I was getting problems.
Luckily my wife was in the US so I had a master rebuild kit overnighted to her. It is currently in the process of being installed by a local guy. Hopefully we will have it up and running today...
Hi have another compressor question - this time it is for a friend.
He has a fairly new (couple of months I believe) Nuvair Mini Tech compressor.
When running it keeps popping the 2nd stage safety valve.
I had him add a gauge in its palace for a quick test and the pressure reads about 85bar...
Thanks, I'll get an oil regulator service kit order and see what happens.
This is an older K15 and I can't seem to see a sight tube on this block.
Cheers

Hi Jim,
I do have a new gauge kicking around so will swap that over and at least that is one option ruled out.
Here is the link for the video on Youtube
