    Updating a Green Force HID

    This is excatly what I'm planning to do on mine ! I have replaced my brother's HID with simply a new driver and HID once, done mine but I have trouble closing it back. Mine is an older model and has no lens cap to unscrew like yours and my bro's ! I have started to think about migrating the...

    What tanks are you diving on?

    I lived in boston for 2 years and had similar dilema... I went finally for a single 119 and never regretted it. No problem to get a fill either. But if yu plan to go doubles, I would highly recommend going to 100's the 119 are really heavy and ideal as single tank but I would not go with twins...

    Flounders! And MORE. Front Beach, Rockport, MA- Dive Report & Pics, Tues 6/28/11

    Yes, I miss these dives in Rockport ! Whatever we say, wherever we are, divrs are always different and bring many different things. But Rockport is a special one for me, where I had the honor to dive with you several times, learn the flounder hunting and seeing my kids eyes when coming back home...

    Catch a Lobster

    My suggestion: get diving with someone that has experience and would like to show you :) This is the best way to learn. I initially started on my own but was quite unsuccessful, then I got the light from another fellow scubaboarder and there I was, bringing back some bugs for dinner :) This...

    10W LED light with Delrin canister

    Wow... top notch work here ! I'm impressed, though it's a question of having access to equipment. Still the finished light is more than professional ! I got my main light head dead in the past few weeks, I have replaced the HID 10w inside and my bro's one being also dead, I will try to mod it...

    Is your diving season over?.......

    Diving season ? Is there such a thing as a season ??? ;) If time would permit I would dive every weekend, including winter ! But obviously, family, bad weather or any other natural disasters are preventing me from doing this... and for now, because I'm waiting for my container to arrive which...

    Adequate safety precautions? My 9-ft deep dives to open a dam mud gate, Sept 12, 2010

    That is a very interesting report ! Something different than our regular dives. I would probably not have done such a dive ;) What was your plan on air ? Since this was very shallow I guess you didn't have much worries around you. Which means, even if the gate would have opened suddenly...

    Dive report: 25-35' vis measured at Front Beach, Rockport, MA, Sat. 11/20/2010

    Mmmmmmh Clam Showder ! That made me almost forget about the dive report ;) Looks like a long and quiet dive, one I would definitely have enjoyed ! That's courageous !!! I'm actually waiting to get back my drysuit before I go back in he water... Water temps here in Belgium have now fallen...

    Dismantle a greenforce HID head ?

    I have an old HID 50 head and the light just died today... Does anyone know how to dismantle it to change the bulb ? I have found the bulb and even the ballast needed but I have not found the way to take the head apart and get the light "bulb" out. There is apparently no way to unscrew the...

    Replacing back zipper on semi-dry suit ?

    I'm looking to check if I can try and replace the zipper on my semi-dry suit which has teared of at the ends and leaks out pretty badly... I have seen great posts (Dave4868 and LP Brett), very inspiring. I was just wondering if I could simply replace the current plastic zipper by a more robust...

    Isotherm - their weakest point = zipper ?

    I own an Isotherm 6/XL which I was very happy for the last 5 years I dove with it (~120 dives on it). I dive various conditions typically between 40-75F (Europe mostly). yes I said I was very happy, until this summer... When I realized my zipper was teared on both ends, letting water get in...

    Weekend Plans?

    Walden Pond is not possible to dive :( I asked already. It is extremely clear water at least from the shore... you can canoe, kayak or swim, but you can't dive... I'm not sure I understand really why though...

    Buddy needed for Mystic Lakes, Arlington

    Darn !! asking this on my last day here, I would have joined since I lived almost next door to it :( I always wanted to dive them, never found the time though. Have fun and let us know how it was, I might keep it on my list to do if I ever come back.

    BP/W checklist?

    I know this is somewhat hijiacking the Original Post... excuse me for this ;o) I also have a Hog32 (and I love it - great value for the quality !) and used STA when I was diving drysuit. Since using my semi-drysuit, I had way too much weight (the BP is sufficient for me with my bulky 119cf)...

    new setup, 2 first stages vs 2 bottles??

    I'm a European diver... and we are teached that, when we lead dives, we should have 2 sources of gas. In Europe this turned everyone (or almost) into using either the H-valve (some older Y valves can be found although most new ones are all H), or using doubles (not as common either). Almost no...
