    Is PDIC gone?

    Their website talks about a lot of things in 2011. Their FAQ page has nothing on it. The website pretty much completely lacks any information. Did they crash and burn?

    Stripping tanks (amazingly fun)

    So I got a deal on 4 used AL80s last week. Two were painted and the paint was pretty beat up. Anyone who knows diving knows that a) painted tanks are a bad choice to begin with and b) the color of a tank and beat up paint doesn't alter the tank's ability to hold air. Either way, I'm considering...

    Wristbands in Blue Hole

    Hey everyone! Quick question. The shop took a group of students to BH on Jan 25/26. I took a group down for their deep dive and found two (on opposite ends of the hole) silicone wristbands.

    GSM communications unit (with Ocean Reef FFM)

    After doing some searches I haven't really seen anyone discuss the quality of the GSM G.divers communications unit that is coupled with the Ocean Reef FFM. I must say I was surprised by how any transmission I received was unintelligible, regardless of distance from the other person, conditions...

    SeaQuest i3 Integrated Inflator

    Is Mares accepting any dealership applications?

    There is no link on the website to request dealership information, nor is there any information regarding initial purchases. I've been told (many years ago) that initial purchase was to the tune of 10k to 15k and that the shop would have to sell Mares gear either "primarily" or "exclusively"...

    Reflections of our trip to Roatan, Honduras - June 2011 pt 2

    (Sorry everyone, SB said my post was too long so I had to break it up :shakehead:) Local car accident: This was an entertaining event that occurred I think I should mention because it reflects some of the local attitude about things. On the way to the West End we encountered two vehicles on...

    Review of Turquoise Bay Resort in Roatan, Honduras

    As part of our dive shop operations we coordinate dive trips for our students on a regular basis. We go on fact finding tours prior to going because I would hate to take or send customers to somewhere that turns out to be not what it seems. I want to personally experience places I suggest. That...

    Thought I would post this here just cause it was aggravating and interesting at the same time... So I get quite a bit of used gear on eBay to incorporate into student gear for my shop. I check all gear and service it before putting into use. A while back I got a steal on three Mares Airtrim...

    No Opti-Viewers on eBay (visual inspection equipment)

    What's the gig with the lack of Opti-Viewers or Optical Plus on eBay. There are none current or in completed auctions......I'd really prefer to use an Opti-Viewer over a light and mirror since it takes perfect eyesight to see a crack in the threads (and sometimes even that isn't enough). Any...
