    blending question

    Is it really necessary to analyze the He in a mix. I mean if you did your calculations right and your O2 comes out fine, is there a need to analyze He. The reason I ask is because purchasing a He analyzer is very expensive. I am thinking about making one, but the output from the sensor is not...

    Deco Software

    I am currently using D-plan and I love it. The only problem with it is, that It does not calculate CNS%. Has someone written a program for the palm that will calculate the CNS% and nothing else? I do not want to buy another dive program. I know calculating CNS is easy, but I would love...

    Marine Goop?

    Has anyone ever used that marine goop. That is the name of the product. It is a water proof glue that remains flexible and works on neoprene, water proof cloth, masks, hoses, and all sorts. I just bought some to use on my drysuit cuff that I ripped a small hole in it. I cut an old latex...

    AL 50's for DECO

    I just talked with a guy, who is selling 2 Al 50's for $100. I am very interested in buying them for deco bottles. Would a 50 work just as well as a 40. I thought with that good of a deal I could I could use them quite well. The only thing is, I am going to start leaning toward DIR, and I do...

    Double Discing???

    I have a set of double faber lp 108's. The tanks bought brand new this year so I still have the + rating for 5 more years. I was thinking about double discing my tanks. I have the dive rite 300 bar manifold, so I know my tanks and valves can handle the pressure. Would this put in extra...

    I currently have a Fred T BP and Halcyon wing. How do you attach the reels and lift bag to the back of the BP. I know there are holes there, but should I run a bungee cord though the holes or use the bolt snaps. I found that if I put a bolt snap on the wrong way, then put on my tanks, that I...

    I dove my Halcyon pioneer 27# today in fresh water. I was severly overweighted. I had an aluminum 80, my SST Fred T back plate, OMS single tank adaptor, 2 backup lights, a pelican, and a 3mm wetsuit. I could not stay at the surface at all. I had no weights on me at all, but I was still too...

    7 Foot Hose On The Apeks Reg

    I put the 7 foot hose on my apex tx50. I noticed some breathing difference but it was not bad on the surface, but I could really tell at depth. I thought the only adjustment was to turn the silver knob on the side, but I guess I was wrong. What other adjustment do I need to do so it breathes...

    Can you make your own canister light?

    After looking at the design of most canister lights available, I think I could make my own canister light. Has anyone ever tried this, and if so, do you have any plans. I estimate around 140 dollars to make a HID canister light, but I could be wrong. Please let me know before I get in to deep.
