    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Hi Sam, actually, I did in fact video tape him as he told these stories, and others, and I plan on visiting him again soon so I can get more stories from him. Thanks for your valuable insight, and I'll have to ask him about Pat O'Malley, and some of the other things you mentioned!

    Diver Accident at Anacapa Island, CA

    There was an incident at Anacapa Island yesterday with a student of a group that had chartered half of the Peace dive boat. I would like to commend the captain and crew on their handling of the situation, who did a very professional job and ultimately brought a guy back that I had been told had...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Sam I was down visiting my step gradfather today, and he had many interesting stories. Among them was that he captained a dive boat that he thinks was called the Scuba, which eventually sank off Catalina in rough weather. He was not captaining the boat when that happened. I could not get him...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Sam, thanks for the very informative history of those WKs. You did not sell them to my step-grandfather, because he would have been in his 50's in the 1960's. I checked the bushings on one of the small doubles and it appeared to be steel, it was silver once I scratched away the paint. There...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Bill, all of the tanks are convex. The more that I think about this, the more it seems like there is a story here that needs to be told. I'm going to visit him next Saturday, and try to get more of the story from his perspective. Something along the lines of "what were you thinking putting...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Thanks Bill. The pictures I showed were only the ones stamped with Walter Kidde, because I did not know what they were. Here are some pictures of the Rene tanks, note the US Divers also stamp on the tank, and the address. There are three of these tanks, two of the smaller Walter Kidde...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    So now I have some pictures of the tanks. When I went down to his house today, I picked up the rest of the tanks. There were two doubles that appeared to have a stamp on them that say WK & Co and an initial stamp of 3-43. They also have US Govt stamped on them. So these are even older than...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Bill, when I found them in the garage, I took them all down from the shelf they were on. The first thing I did was to drain them, because I suspect they had been up on the shelf for some 30 years, and was concerned about having pressurized tanks when I did not know the condition of them, not to...

    Rene 12-54 scuba cylinder

    Recently we had to put my 98 year old step grandfather into a nursing home, and while working n the garage, there were several tanks out there. I brought one back with me, and my LDS suggested that it might be worth something. The one I brought back is a steel tank, with a stamp of Rene C12-54...

    Boat Finder?

    I'm not sure what this is, or if it is even something I thought it was.... I have been on a couple of dives on a local dive boat where a couple hung a cynlinder off the bow of the boat, and I think it was some sort of boat finder - something that would show them the direction back to the boat...

    Seal Saver for Dry Suits

    Thanks for the replies soo far. The main thing I was hoping to get out of this thread is whether the seal saver is harmful to the seals, and I have not yet seen any clear answers to that part of the question. I was told that it is supposed to get rid of harmful chemicals such as diesel exhaust...

    Seal Saver for Dry Suits

    It seems like I have seen some conflicting information on seal savers. For example, McNett makes a 1 1/4 oz bottle of seal saver juice. The PADI Dry Suit diver manual says Don't use silicone spray or any other product with silicone on the seals or any other part of the suit. Silicone makes it...

    Aqualung vs Atomic

    Hi All, I read one of the earlier posts where a gentleman in San Diego was looking at various regulators. I currently have an Aqualung Titan. I am considering getting a better regulator. I have noticed among other things that it tends to "scream" in colder water, like the mid to lower 50's. Not...
