    steel tanks in Bay Area

    Hi, my fiancee and I would like to buy 2-3 steel tanks with yolk valves in the Bay Area. Ideally, they are HP80s or HP100s, but I am open to other options if they are in good shape. We will be diving Nitrox (EAN32) so oxygen clean is preferable. Thanks! --Jarett

    Help me choose my gear please

    LOL- Wow tridacna, you may consider taking off those hurt, angry pants, and putting on some happy pants. It looks like Devon was just asking you to expand on your off the cuff remarks and add some value to your post. If you don't like BP&Ws, that is fine, but can you explain your reasoning? Or...

    Help me choose my gear please

    Depends what you want and what you are looking for. You might also consider a back plate and wing setup which is simpler, more streamlined, will last longer, and is cheaper. I found the equipment section of the GUE.com website to be very instructive. -Jarett Posted via Mobile Device

    Stuck First Stage

    I thought about switching to DIN, however I travel a good amount, and hence a yolk is useful. I've heard some negatives in re the DIN to yolk converter (hit your head, leaks, etc.) A divemaster once suggested I get a DIN conversion kit, along with the proper socket set from Scubatools, and said...

    Stuck First Stage

    Another question: Is it possible to purchase a replacement rubberized Yolk knob? I can attach my Fiancee's regulator (an Aqualung TitanLX) to the tank, and it is really easy to attach\detach. The key difference, from what I can tell, is that the Aqualung yolk knob is rubberized, and hence is...

    Gear Review, Please

    I am relatively new to the Scuba world, but have absolutely fallen in love with it, and decided to invest in some gear. I read articles in the Scuba magazines and websites, and started testing out a variety of BCs from different manufacturers. I was about set on purchasing a setup, when I...

    Stuck First Stage

    Hi, so I just purchased my first tank, (Worthington x7 HP 100 with pro valve) and although I am attaching my first stage with "finger tightness" - i.e. not tight - after I pressurize the regulator (and subsequently completely depressurize it using the second stage regulators) the first stage is...

    Your opinions, who makes the best wing for backplate or "Soft BC"?

    Oxycheq has a great rep. I bought their signature series 30# wing, and I love it-- super durable, super streamlined, and just really well made.

    Whites Fusion Stealth---POLL

    A red skin would be great, I agree. Generally, minimal graphics\marketing is preferable. I don't know if the graphics help with abrasion resistance or the like-- If so, then at least there is reasoning behind them, but in general my preference is for clean and simple. Stick your branding on...

    Gearing up for Tek

    Hi. You take an ademate stance on not using a console. Can you help me understand the reasoning? If I already have a small console (TUSA) with depth and spg; is the difference significant enough to replace it? I'm not yet diving wrecks or caves. Does anyone actually have any bad experiences with...

    Miflex HP hose problem

    Jeff, any basis for your opinion referenced below? Or is it just your personal feeling? Although I am sure a brass SPG feels more solid, has anyone had a bad experience with a plastic unit? The TUSA models, for example? Thanks. --Jarett

    Aqua Lung SolAfx suit?

    I've been diving one of these in Monterrey, and it has kept me nice and toasty despite the low 50 degree temps. Love the suit. Quick question for you all-- any idea of what the positive buoyancy is on it? I'm trying to recalculate my weighting. Thanks!

    I ordered a bunch of gear from them, it was sent out the same day, and it was recieved 2 days later in San Francisco. Excellent place, just wish I found about them earlier. Posted via Mobile Device
