    HP flex hose

    I am looking for a HP flex hose for a SPG, which I use as a backup to an A/I transducer. I am impressed with the MiFlex line as the are small diameter and very flexible, the dow side is that they have become very pricey. About 10 years back I tried the DGX brand of HP double braided flex hoses...

    Late summer / fall airline schedules

    Typically from mid August till mid November the various airlines cut back on their schedules into Cozumel. This has a lot to do with folks not wanting to book vacations in advance during the 'Hurricane season'. This year is a little different with a lot of pent up demand and the phase being used...

    Neck leaks

    A friend (really) is having an ongoing issue with seeps (fine bubbles at pressure) at the tank neck / valve stem. The tanks (over 100) are by no means new and have anywhere from 1K to many K cycles on them and they are AL80's from multiple suppliers. The valves range from relatively new to...

    Pub pathway link in chrome

    I have noticed on several Win X computers when in The Pub the path way link back to the Pub main page is a dead link and not functional. I either have to hit my Chrome favorites bar link to reload the Pub page or select the pathway link to 'Non-Diving Related stuff' and then reload the main Pub...

    Pez Leon eating turtle

    Be advised there is an adult green that is very persistant at grabbing Lion Fish off a spear. I think it's the one that was over at Akumel and documented a few years back. It is not shy and was pestering the various divers near Columbia yesterday. I had my lunch, 3 medium pez leons, spines...

    On call massages

    How about a post listing contact information for on call massages. I do not want to start any debate about bubbles and post dive exercising. The type of massage wanted is for adults who are engaging in low impact diving and would like to get a relaxing massage in the afternoon without laying in...

I believe the sate goes dry at midnight tonight until midnight Monday but I thought that there was an exemption for non citizens in designated tourist areas. Anyone know the specifics for...

    Recharging cartridge filters

    I am looking into the viability of recharging LF cartridges and was wondering if anyone has any pointers? I have been hauling spares to Mexico but have heard that other folks cut the tops off and can get up to a half dozen repacks before the housing degrades. I think I can get the desiccant...
