    What to do with a tank that has failed hydro?

    ive heard of guys doing this, Cut the bottom of your tank off with a sawzall, and replace the bottom with a tank boot, and BAM, you have a contraband hiding device. i.e. take a non legal fish not advocating illegal activities, but i thought it was a creative idea jumbo

    Good dive locations

    If at all possible you have to go to Vancover island in BC. Up there the vis is generally much better, and they have multiple ship wrecks you can dive and charters are very easy to find and very reasonable. And if you make it to BC and you can make it to Port Hardy you will see the best the...

    The most dangerous thing in the water?

    Id have to say jumping in BC water with your drysuit relief zipper open, then getting the zipper snagged on your undergarmet. This usually leads to some cussing and other non pc words being muttered. Guess what I triple check now before I hit the water!

Finding out what specific type of suit to get requires a long winded answer, but by doing a search youll quickly find some good guideline to...

    Annual service charges

    100 buck for parts is a rip off, no mistake about it. Full reatail price for each stage usually cost between 6-15 bucks. The shop will re order the parts as a warentee thus paying nothing. So yea you did get hosesed. $70 for labor is reasonable. I was wondering if your shop replaced your...

    Ever Used a Warranty?

    I can say that scubapro has been great. I used to work at a dive shop and we never had a problem sending gear back for repair/replacement. they will also usually give you some value on your equiptment and give you the option of an upgrade on a similar peice of equiptment. Jumbo

    Rust on stainless steel knife?

    I would let it rust, youll never require a razor sharp edge and it wont fall apart. youll probobly lose it or quit diving before it rust too much to use it. I just figure on loosing mine every year or so, so i get small knives that commercial fishermen use, there cheap and razer sharp Jumbo

    Deal on used aluminum tanks?

    new tank for 80 bucks, its a good deal I personally think if your not diving alot its probobly cheaper to rent tanks, i figure about 60 dives is a point were you would buy tanks. but its a big step in becoming a serious diver to own your tanks and helps your street cred. Jumbo
