“Common” knowledge is that the baby shampoo used to defog masks, “eats” the silicone O-rings of cameras when they share a rinse tank Urban myth or truth??

So I just finished the e-learning course and a few items have me scratching my head Why is there any mention/training for Buddy breathing CESA BCD remove/recovery To refresh the casual thread peruser, the adaptive diver is ALWAYS accompanied by at least two trained dive buddies. Any scenerio...

So am I just unlucky? The first one died after 9 months or so, it's replacement just gave up (maybe 5 years). Should I be looking to kill a black cat at midnight, of some suitable other spell to break my bad luck? Are there any reliability stories about the 'new' SWIFT transmitter (and...

This is a vintage set of triples I picked up. Steel, 23" x 5.5." Common manifold with "J" valve I found a chart that says 45 ft^3 each, so 135 ft^3 for the set

I'm looking at a trip to Lareto, and am wondering about the infamous "camera tax". What is done if your housing is discontinued and is no longer available for purchase?

I have come to really like my 28-135 EF lens with the 8" dome, particularly since it also will focus at macro shot distances Does anyone know of a way to get a zoom gear on the lens in an Ikelite 4- lock housing??

I have a RIX-SA3 with the pressure valve set to hold backpressure to the filter stack at about 2400 PSI. There are no cascade bottles in my setup. Question #1: Should I "feather" the valve to the tank so that the third stage pressure stays >1000 PSI, or is the best practice just to open the...

Would this work with a Nikonos? https://igg.me/at/imback-film/x#/

After some fussing about, I finally started to fill my tanks with Nitrox. The compressor is a RIX-SA3 and I'm having to continually adjust the O2 needle valve to hold things close to my desired 32% O2. My O2 regulator only provides a PSI gauge on the inlet to the blending stick, and when O2 is...

At least in limited fashion. Check out: New Work by Gary Larson | TheFarSide.com My favorite:

Magnehilic gauge for sale. Measures 0 - 2" of H20 Works perfectly. I had to purchase it to complete the HOG regulator service class. I have no need for it now and it's just collecting dust on a shelf Mouthpiece and tubbing included $25 plus shipping (OBO)

I have a transmitter on my back-gas and one on my pony/stage bottle. (FWIW it's a pony in cold water when I have a big steel on my back and a stage bottle in warm water with an AL80) I've forgotten how to set it up so both tanks can have the same ppO2. This should be the same as diving...

I'm looking for a less expensive alternative to the Ikelite diffuser domes. My scan of AliExpress didn't find any candidates

So I've always been a "significant" user of gas on a dive. After 600 or so dives, my gas consumption is what it is. In cold water, I solved the "problem" with HP120 / HP130 tanks Warm water has been frustrating. FINALLY I realized that slinging an AL80 is not that different from the AL19 I...

So I just rebuilt it, the only change from stock was to use the "duro" poppet When I back the oriface out to almost where it freeflows, it feel like I'm sucking on a bar straw The demand lever is correct, what have missed?

And I hope a final question (at least for a while) My SA-3E has very limited space between the shroud and the electric motor. So little space, that getting the two bolts that attach the shroud to the compressor started is an absolute bitch. The shroud is quite stiff, so even if I used studs...

I was advised my the PO to use O2 safe Teflon tape to seal a H2O monitoring sight port that sits between the filter stack and back pressure valve I'm never going to go past EAN36, why is this different than servicing a first stage that is not O2 clean?

So I have late model (1999) SA3 with a back-pressure valve. How do I monitor the filter status? I'm adding an hour meter, but I'd prefer something a bit more deterministic
