Thanks. That's the input I need. Bruce

Any suggestions on a high volume (20 to 30 cfm) compressor that would run in 90 degree ambient temp? Also running many hours a day? Anyone have any experience with Sauer or L&W units? Thanks Bruce

Water can squeeze down these tiny holes putting a small amount between the outer rubber case and the inner hose. When the regulator is turned on the pressure increases the diameter of the inner hose forcing this water out. These can look like bubbles but the hose is still fine. If a steady...

Your hardware store carries the chromed brass sleeve? If that is the case all I would need would be sleeves, hose and the tool. I can come up with the actual fittings as you said from old hoses. It is the hose that fails normally. Replies to others who have suggestions/questions . Trident...

I have tried for a long time for find who makes and will sell hose fittings so hoses can be custom made.I do not wantt to order hoses made up already, I want to make them. It seems this is a huge secret and these hose fittings come from some deep dark secret unknown source.:D In asking...

Thats my answer pretty much also. BUT this is from one manufacturer: This decision (for dedicated regulators) was based with the safety of the consumer in mind and the fact that fires can and do occur with Nitrox due to contamination, usually from dirty air. Air is usually held to a much...

How many have a regulator dedicated to Nitrox only and a 2nd regulator dedicated to air only? How many use one regulator for both? Thanks Bruce

Unbuckle the waist band and lift the tank up higher and towards your head..

You can get a Mk 16 with the 2nd stages you mentioned. The only real advantage to the Mk 25SA is that it would be lighter. People traveling say it helps because it is lighter but you are not looking at 10 pounds, more like onces. A titanium is a different story and I usually recommend those to...

Difficult to answer all your questions but perhaps I can help with some. The S600 is a smaller vesion of the G250. Does it breath easier? Doubt there is much noticable difference at all. I had a G250HP and now have and S 600 and can't really say for sure there is much difference. The Mk 25 and...

Not trying to start a great debate here and I would suppose there might be a few who have logged that many dives but many claim they have and at first glance one might say "Wow, what a diver". But in doing some math things begin to look awry. For sake of discussion let’s say the person is 55...

This increase does not start until April 1. Bruce Bowker Bonaire

Are you using any oils, creams, suntan lotion, anything at all on your face? If yes and these are not thoroughly washed off they can cause the cleanest mask in the world to fog. Bruce

I have tried 3 different split fins and find them to be of no great advantage. I even have a challenge - anyone who can prove that split fins do what they originally claimed, I will offer a free one week vacation on Bonaire! Airfare not included.

Search back and there is a thread all about this regulator. Also not cheap!!! It is bascially an udated version of the old double hose but not really that similar to the original designs. Yes it is a Titan 1st stage. Bruce Bowker Bonaire

New tags start to sell around mid December or a tad later. Old tags have validity into January so if you do trips at that time each year you probabaly will need only one tag every two trips. Bruce Bowker Bonaire

I would opt for a Mk 20 long before a Mk 10 or a Mk 16. Mk 25 is the newest although no difference except external intermediate pressure adjustment. Handy but not necessary. Bruce Bowker Bonaire.

The R 190 is similar to most of the non-balanced 2nd stages. Balanced 2nd stages run considerably higher in price and might not be what you need depending on the type of diving you do or plan to do in the future. What first stage will you be using? Scubapro Mk 2 ? Both rock solid units and very...

Make absolutely sure that you have a confirmed flight. Also call them before you leave and double check. Then double check again the day before you leave. They do not have as many planes flying now. Bruce .
