    Surprised VIP + O2 Cleaning Many $$$'s

    New tanks come from the factory O2 cleaned or should I say O2 service ready. I doubt that there is a dive shop out there that can have a tank cleaner than the factory puts it out. IF so they would need to trly acid wash it then rinse it with flowing distilled water. Anyone out there ever seen...

    I want to be a good buddy...

    I feel that a good buddy is a well trained buddy. SOmeone who has gone thru the drills on a consistent basis and knows them well. This good buddy must also always be self aware! He/She should know their current air situation such as time left, consumption rate breathing techniques. The...

    Aurora Res Park Rangers...

    The rangers at the Aurora Res. are notorious for being problematic. They are unwavering in their rules and go way out of their way to give divers grief. I was scorned about a month ago for coming out of the water 10 feet outside of the buoy lines at the dam. Last year they drove their...

    Dive Club

    Ron I'm not going to sit here and piss back and forth with you. The reason I don't respond too often on scubaboard is because there are alot of people already responding that are giving good advice and a bunch of other say the same thing over and over. I don't need to repeat good advice...

    Tire Inner Tube for a BC bladder?

    Wow, I can't believe the responses from this post. One thing that I didn't see anyone mentioning is that BC's are relatively young in SCUBA diving. Back in the day, divers didn't use any form of bouyancy control other than proper weighting. No, not even horse collars. So, if you are properly...

    Gaitors

    You wanna start real simple???? Wrap your lower legs with ace bandages. Next you can go to walgreens and buy those really cheap neoprene knee braces and the nylon ones with velcro closures. My only concern is to not make them tight enough to restrict blood flow, can cause some major cramping...

    Sewing webbing ?

    I have made parachutes, rock climbing harness' and knife sheaths with a simple home sewing machine, the kind that you can get from walmart for $100.00 bucks. First thing is, use a strong needle, use a denim or upholstery needle with a nice big thread groove. Next use the right kind of thread...

    Questions on IDC

    Best that I can recommend to you is go talk to a PADI facility here in Colorado. I am Master Instructor here and have lots of fun diving. If you don't like fresh water diving then Colorado isn't the place to be. To me it doesn't matter where you do your IDC what matters is how good your IDC...

    Solo again !!

    Diving at significant depths IS solo diving. I mean it is nice on a 250 foot dive for your buddy to send your body up to the surface for recovery!

    Venting

    Being an avid solo diver I most often wear totally black or very subdued colors. Just for the simple fact that I don't want all of these nosey busy bodies coming in and telling me how unsafe I am being. Every single time that I have been harrassed by someone, runover by a jetski and or boat...

    Question on Dangerous or unprepared

    I have done a bit of diving in Key Largo. You really don't have much to worry about. I have personally dealt with Ocean Divers out of Key Largo and they have always been professional and on the conservative side of diving. http://www.oceandivers.com/ There are different boat trips for...

    Bouyancy Questions/Help

    1) How much weight SHOULD an overweight (210#), balding, ex-hippie be using to be neutral? Should I go with a few more pounds, just to be "safe"? I seemed to be better able to control myself with less weight, for obvious reasons. Is that a good thing? There is no "should" amount of weight...
