    Help identifying an “old” regulator

    I’ve had this old first stage hanging around for a while with absolutely no knowledge on it (I don’t even remember how I came to own it). I’ve been trying to find some information on it recently but am coming up empty. I’m guessing it’s from around the 80s as it’s quite heavy with a large bulky...

    Looking for an instructor for Junior OW course in central TX

    My son is now 10 and is ready to jump into diving (pun intended). He's a natural in the water (easily did the 200m and 10 tread) and is quite bright, so I think it's time to get him enrolled into the Jr. OW course. I'm looking for a good instructor in the Austin area. We've dealt with Scuba Land...

    DIR for open water certification?

    Edit - ok, so it's not DIR, but bp/w setup, with the goal of moving immediately to DIR after OW certification. As I begin my venture back into diving, my wife has decided to get certified as well. I have been extremely interested in DIR for the last few years, and just recently ordered my...

    Drinking the coolaid

    Now that I'm finally in a position to start diving again, I want to go the DIR route, but need some advice in choosing a bp/wing. I'm a pretty big guy at 6'3" and 280lbs, and using an AL80 with a 3-5 mil wet suit for the time being. However, I'm really unsure as to what wing to be looking into...

    Does fundies teach nitrox?

    Just curious if the fundies class teaches the use of nitrox, of if that's supposed to be completed before class begins. I've been thinking of taking a nitrox class later this year, but if it's taught in fundies, I'll hold off.

    What questions do you ask when looking for an OW instructor?

    Just curious as to what questions you would ask a potential OW instructor. I took my wife to an LDS last weekend for an intro to scuba class, and the instructor was horrible. We're now looking at other LDS's, and I'm trying to come up with some good questions to help limit the chances of a...

    Parts interchangeability

    I'm assuming that back plates and wings are interchangeable among the different manufacturers. Is this correct?

    Even more convinced about DIR

    After yesterdays events with the LDS, I'm even more sure that I'll be going DIR before to long. My wife and I went to the shop, her for an intro to scuba course, and a refresher for myself. It was the worst 95 bucks I've ever spent for anything scuba related. The "instructor" rushed through the...

    Fundies w/single....one or two regs?

    Just curious, of one was looking to take fundies with a single tank, would you be diving with one or two first stages? GUE's sites says students may use single with K,H, or Y valve. Am I correct in assuming that you can use a single first stage?

    Looking to get into DIR

    My wife is getting set to get her OW cert next month to start diving with me. I've been certified for about 10 years now, but due to military and other obligations, I haven't had much of a diving career. I'm looking to change that in the near future. I've been interested in tech diving ever...
