    Is a QC6 repairable/serviceable?

    One of my male QC6s finally failed after about 5 years. It will seat and flow when pushed into the female QC6, but it will not lock in place. I confirmed it was the male QC6 not the femal side by testing with multiple other male QC6s. It's a fairly inexpensive part compared to everything else on...

    Places to eat on Bonarie 2023

    I went searching for food recommendation threads, and although one was reawoken from 2012, it has inaccuracies now. We all love post-dive food, so thought creating a new thread may be helpful. Maybe if it turns out well, it could be stickied until things change significantly like they did...

    Rebreather support on Bonarie

    I'll be going back to Bonaire in september, diving CCRs. We were last there a year before COVID and used Mr G at Buddy Dive for our bailout tanks and onboard bottles. I know Mr G left Buddy dive and has his own thing going right now. I also saw one other shop supposedly supporting ccr when I...

    Backup light recommendations

    I'm in need of some new backup lights. I started with Intovas many years ago and realized push button sucks. Moved to some Dorcy brand lights from piranha gear that Kelly recommended and loved them for many years. One of them recently died due to a leaky battery. I ordered a LM 3watt, but I...

    Video about oxygen shutoffs on Sidewinder

    It's an interesting video, but it doesn't mimic the facts related to the death in Ginnie which has led to many questioning the safety of having an oxygen shutoff. I'm pretty sure the diver who died was on hypoxic trimix. I see what they're going for, but it doesn't convince me an oxygen...

    Apeks HP Seat failure: rumor or fact?

    This thread was split off from the needle valve discussion in NEEDLE VALVES Just a side note. My wife and I have done quite a few dives on unblocked 1st stages with the fathom needle valve. Sadly the reason is we've been plagued with the dreaded HP seat issues on Apeks regs that Apeks seem to...

    Details on Ginnie recovery 1/23/21

    So I am simply copying and pasting the facts as they were told to me by someone involved who asked that I share some details. The point of the details is not to sensationalize the accident, but in hopes that people will understand how much work was involved in the recovery and the emotional...

    What upgrades did you make to the sidewinder?

    I'm in the process of considering adding a sidewinder as a second rebreather (mainly just for the fun of trying something new and for places I may not want to try ramming my current bm'd unit into). From the looks of it, the stock unit comes with a dsv, fischer cable no computer, no secondary...

    Cell dating question

    I have a question that didn't come up when discussing replacing cells in class. It's a year since my cells were put into service, so I'm replacing them. I've had a backup cell in my spares box for a few months and plan on putting into service and putting a newer cell into the spares box. The...

    Do you lie about your helium content?

    I've got OC ART, so when I moved to CC I was able to be taught with helium in the diluent. I generally dive 30/30 for most things, since the deepest dives I'm currently doing are Ginnie and Little River and I'm just trying to keep a lower END. I will occassionally dive 21/35, but 30/30 has...

    1st timer-dive site recos

    My wife and I leave for Bonaire in a week. I've gone through all the threads on dive sites and ordered that new book with all of the great dive site photos and routes (can't remember the name). It's so much information, it's almost too much. At this point we're thinking rather than planning...

    Stainless steel wrapped Teflon hose

    Does anyone have a good source for this hose in long lengths other than Northeast Scuba Supply? The hose: 20 Foot Stainless Steel Mixing Hose I'm looking for a 20ft section for use with oxygen. ( I know a 20ft hose is alot of deadspace for oxygen, but it's what I've got to work with). I'm...

    CCR and laryngospasm

    My wife and I are new to ccr. We both have many years diving oc, nearly all of the last 5 years in caves. In the 25 hours or so that we have been getting used to our units, my wife has had an odd thing happen about 3 times now. She's noted that just out of the blue she gets a sudden tightness...

    E11 CO replacement sensor

    My CO monitor is starting to act odd, so it's time to replace the sensor. Is there anywhere to source them? I saw that DRIS has them for $287. At that price it's a hard decision to replace or throw away the unit and get something else.

    Stand alone secondary computer use

    I recently finished my first CCR class and during the class we obviously discussed decompression on the rebreather in depth. We also briefly discussed the use of a secondary stand alone computer as a backup if you're primary handset craps out. Half way through the course I got sick and it put a...

    ?s re Deleted Cave Diving Etiquette Thread

    Why'd the other thread get deleted? If it was accurate depiction of a problem that occurred it shouldn't be removed? Does the fact that the person in questions dive shop supports scubaboard events?

    European(French) Faber 12L specs

    We will be diving in France shortly and I was looking for the weight and size characteristics of the typical 12L Faber we'd be diving in France. I thought a simple look at the chart would be easy. Not so much. There's a ton of them on there and now I'm confused. A call to Blue Steel US and an...
