    Is a 5mm wetsuit okay to use.....

    If you are diving out of Panama City the bottom temperature will be in the mid to high 70's this time of year. If you don't like chilly water your 5mm will feel nice. I dive with people who wear 5mms all summer in PCB and some of us are comfortable in just a bathing suit. But on a long dive I...

    If you were only allowed one reg what would it be?

    Conshelf 14 or 21 firsts. They hardly ever need service and when they do its a piece of cake with a few tools. Parts are everywhere and cost very little. I can live with a lot of different seconds like 109, BA, g250's, conshelf metal or plastic but since I can only have one I choose the BA...

    US Divers regulator set

    Keep the first and the seconds. They're great regs. And late years before needing any service.

    Disappointed

    You should send him an email asking for confirmation that he got your snail mail. :)

    Panama City FL. Insta buddy OOA

    Agree with the above. I've had the same thing happen to me twice on gulf charters. Neither one would except the alternate. But it was no big deal to me. I felt they had enough air to surface just fine and they weren't down long enough for me to worry about a blown safety stop. Now I use...

    Storing gear in an unheated Storage facility

    I bought a whole storage locker filled with dive gear years ago. It was not a climate controlled facility and was in a local that gets over 100° in the summer and freezes every winter. The lady said the gear had been there over five years. All the plastic and rubber parts on the regs were...

    Coast Guard rescues diver from Texas boat

    Check this out: http://flowergarden.noaa.gov/visiting/divecharters.html and the Samantha Marie out of PCB will get you there. Others will take you if your check book and their gas tanks are big enough.

    Good Back Up Light under $50

    Dang, I never heard that about the Dorcy. I've had mine for about 5 years, store it with batteries in it all the time, and it burns just fine. My dive buddy's works fine too and I think I got them at the same time. That being said, I like lights with 18650 batteries now. The one from DGE is...

    Back Inflate vs. Backplate/wing

    That Travel 25lb. Mines fine with a 7 mil semi dry. Look up wing/lift calculator here on the board though before you pass. If u think u need more lift buy the bc anyway and I'll trade u a 40 lb lift wing for that one straight up.

    Nut

    Hogs don't swivel? Is there any way I can get the nut that I'm talking about in the above thread? I'll pay.

    Back Inflate vs. Backplate/wing

    What wing does it have on it?

    Back Inflate vs. Backplate/wing

    The Trans PAC is pretty close to a traditional back inflate. The only thing you'll loose is the cummerbund and weight pockets. I'd probably keep the nighthawk and add a crotch strap to it before investing that much into the Dive Rite bc. That said, if you really don't like diving with any fluff...

    Hogs don't swivel?

    It took me a while to get this back in my hands but here is what I am talking about. These nuts are from two different Hog seconds and go on before the low pressure hose. The smaller one is from a reg about 5 years old and the larger one is new. The smaller nut doesn't allow any hoses I have to...

    Hogs don't swivel?

    As far as I know it's never been apart. I took off the jam nut on both regs to see if something was different and nothing is missing. The only difference is the jam nut is longer on the new one. I've tried 6 different hoses.
