Where is everyone going for opening weekend? Any groups forming? I'd like to tag along with some others on the hunt.

So where is everyone going this Saturday in the San Diego area? Any groups out there?

A buddy of mine on Maui just spent $400 on a slick new dive computer and mailed me his old SME that no longer worked. I cracked it open, installed $5 worth of batteries and now I have a spare. Stoked!

Many larger home improvement type stores will carry them. Or, try a Google search for "o rings", plenty of suppliers to choose from.

Yes, counter-clockwise. How much pressure needed will depend upon how long it has been since last opened and the amount of corrosion present. Also, the o-ring applies pressure to the "lid", and can make it quite stubborn. The trick is to use a sturdy jig to hold the base securely in place...

Any $$ figures? $10/hour? $20/hour? I've met guys making a living at it, so it can't be too bad.

Thinking of taking the next step and going pro, more for fun than a career, but still, how much can a part-time instructor expect to make? How about equipment deals? Boat deals? Etc... ? I'm certain this has been asked before, so please feel free to point me to the correct thread. Thanks.

Rather than a toggle, how 'bout this method: Waterproof on-off switch with LED Indicator with Male&Female Trail-Tech coaxis connector - CN-M&F-Switch One less hole in the canister.

Yep, very nice build. My goal is a bit different. I'm looking for CHEAP, readily available off the shelf parts that do not require any special retrofits. For my bike light build, all parts cost me under $10, including bulb. I always have a fresh set of 18V batteries ready to go for my...

LED's interest me for their life span, low power consumption and cooler operating temp, but I am yet to find one that rivals the brightness of a halogen that I do not have to assemble myself. I am looking for readily-available and affordable parts. Some LED's like the one pictured below...

Anyone here ever experiment with using a 12V MR16/11 bulb with an 18V rechargeable battery? I'm not well versed with electronics, but I have built a similar set-up for my bike with excellent results (see pics below). The light is extremely bright, and the burn time thus far is exceptional...

That's pretty slick SS. What have you used it for and how well does it work?

Being able to see the equipment being tested is a must, which is why store-bought pressure tanks will not work. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a cylinder (old A80) sandwiched between two 1" thick pieces of plexi with flat rubber seals and held in place with rod bolts and wing...

That would truly make you a superstar. Also, material specs would be awesome. Thanks.

Anyone ever built a small compression test tank for computers and camera housings?

To all of you out there that still own one of these little gems: using a home-made wooden jig to hold the body in place without harming it and using a strap-wrench to loosen the "lid" I was able to open the little sucker. Once the lid is off, remove the small piece of foam beside the display to...

Anyone ever built a small compression test tank for computers and camera housings?

I have a Suunto console that houses from top to bottom: my compass, old skool Suunto ML computer, and finally my air pressure gauge. I simply purchased elastic velcro straps from a local home-improvement store that fit perfectly through the console's "vent" holes to hold it to my forearm. Easy...
