This is a rare and kind of an oddball tank. It's the...
I saw an ad on Craigslist for this kayak for $100. Are these any good for diving? I have a 9.5 foot inflatable but this looks cooler. I heard these fiberglass kayaks are pretty tough.
Healthways, initial hydro date 3♦66+. No other hydro stamp. Original harness and straps. No exterior rust, no corrosion, original stickers, and no rot on the straps! The o-ring is still soft and the straps are supple. Seller said he travelled with the tank; it was stored in a small wooden crate...
Has anyone seen a RIN hydro ID as a "?" ?
I just got this PST Steel 72 and that's the first thing I noticed.
DOT 3AA 2250 4@77+ 3?84
I'm not worried about it passing hydro or vis but that RIN has me wondering.
I just picked up two PST HP100 3500psi. Both are painted over the galvanized surface - there's paint over the past hydro's. One still has paint and is legible, the other one ... :facepalm:
If I take the paint off using a water based paint remover, which is supposedly safer for the finish and...
This Sherwood Valve is on my PST 72. Is it missing the reserve lever? The Left port looks like hex fitting and not threaded but there's some corrosion gunk in it so it's hard to tell. The tank was full when I bought it.
The Hollis regs are already at the shop getting serviced. If I change the Hollis DC3 to a DIN using the conversion kit, does it need to be re-serviced?
I'm converting to DIN because I just got a stupendous deal ($50) on a PST HP 100CF/13L 3500 tank with a Thermo DIN valve, still in hydro! My...
I've got a mix of components for replacing neck and wrist seals, permanent cuffs, dry gloves, and various repair/mods. I was planning to install the SiTech permanent wrist seals and neck seal, recycle some DUI zipseals, and probably install a pee valve later this season.
When it comes to glues...
I'm considering an inflatable mini cat for diving in California (Norcal). I've seen vids where freedivers flop aboard like a seal bc of the open bow design. It should work fine for all diving. I have a 10' SIB with a 86lb thrust electric trolling motor for fishing but I haven't tried that in...
Just got a used (built 9/2004) DUI CLX 450. It has the Gen1 Zip Seals and I was inspecting the suit this morning. The neck collar seems good. The wrist cuff, one of them has a small split on the outside. I guess this is to be expected for a 15 year old suit plus storage technique. Something was...
I get seasick, so I use the Transderm Scop (scopolamine). Normally, it works. I've been on 8-10ft choppy water and I'm fine (minus the cotton mouth). This time, I wasn't. I put it behind my ear a day before the dive in Cabo San Lucas. The air temp was 75 F, water temp 73 F. Three foot waves at...
Does anyone else dive with an Apollo drysuit? My boots are falling apart and the kneepad is starting to go. I contacted the listed repair store in Seattle, WA, just waiting to see if they can fix it. I was using some adhesive to try to keep the bit together and just ordered some more drysuit...
I bought that Juergensen Marine PSI/BAR SPG about 5 years ago from Dive Addicts. Well, the gauge face just pop off and rotating inside under the glass. It rotated to a position where a 3000psi tank reads only 2000psi. I was in Roatan at the time but luckily, the boat at a spare reg for me to...
I just had my tanks (AL80, 2 Catalina, 1 Luxfer, 1 Catalina pony) hydro'd. Same day service, if they're not too busy. I got in at 12noon, out by 3pm.
$22/tank. Hydro only. No Visual Inspection sticker. No O-ring installation.
They used to be $20/tank, but that was years ago.
Acme Fire...
I just picked up an older AL tank (free on Craigslist - I wanted the tank harness). The numbers indicate it's a Norris aluminium. DOT-SP6688-3000. HY-8323. 10 ◊ 73. Rehydro'd 8 89 and on the opposite side BX 6 A 83 (re hydro).
If I took it in for a Hydrostatic test, I'd probably be charged for...
It won't budge. It still works, the light is strong. I haven't taken the light into the water in years, so I doubt it's salt locking up the threads. I lubed the gasket with grease before screwing down the lens but now it won't come off.
Things I've tried. Brute force using hands, feet, and...
I just saw these tanks on CL in SF Bay Area.
I asked the Seller about the valves and asked him to send pics. I've seen the Sportsway, but never the Voit or US Diver before. Kind of cool.
I was going through my dive locker (big 'ol Pelican case) and was looking at some of my Craigslist finds from the past. The finds included a ScubaPro capillary depth gauge, Voit SwimMaster 2nd Stage and 1st Stage (?), Dacor depth gauge, two Dacor backpacks, and a Sportsways SPG.
I'm asking...
I bought this when I was still a Medium. Alas, I'm a Large, now. :D
Never installed. Never worn. Never wet. This was Whites Tribal design in Red. No pockets. Skin only. See pics.
Location: 94404
Asking: $150 OBO, shipping and insurance extra.
