Yes the oil service industry is in a decline. Does this mean no work - not quite Once your schooling is done. Talk with your counselor. Grab a list of companies and head on down. Phone calls will not do. Show your face at the office and ask if any position is available. if you get a no, wear...

bummer. Purchased from them myself. :cheers: Back in the nineties Chris had the best price on GAST compressors. Drove to Palm harbor and picked them up. The super snorkel was a tiny part of their biz. If I remember innovative built mainly water and air storage vessel units for industrial use...

since we are talking lp hookah check out the pic. ...And hard hat divers wonder who is doing "their" work. Sure hope this pic is out of country, cause osha would have a field day LOL The look on the guys face in back is priceless. Better yet check out the rest of their commercial line of...

I can guarantee they are not marketing that package to industrial dive companies or divers. If some pool maintenance diver wants to spend that kind of coin, more power to the company that sells it. What gets me is what people spend on the most recognized hookah system. Now that is outrageous...

good evening Fastbottoms Thomas indust was an old trade name G-D acquired Thomas in the early '00's The model you have is manufactured in china ( If I remember correctly U.S. site builds industrial, Germany - precision China- all others). Another American O.E.M compressor company also uses...

I have spent thousands of working hours in their pot along with thousands of working both in front and behind their com box (s) Damn right i like their gear. Again the point is if a company with the rep it has in the commercial dive industry, will not put their name on a piece of crap. Guess...

Fast. Read my post agian. i do not own this rig. Their price on this package is based not only on the gear included. They are required to carry liability cost which is past to customer. Point of my post is this....if a big named dive gear manufacturer is willing to put name and rep on the...

I would and do stake my life on anything DESCO puts its name on. Having said that, would I use this package. No. look familiar? Light Duty Diving Outfit | Deep Sea Diving Masks | Divers Mask | Commercial Diving Gear | DESCO Diving Equipment and Supply Company Milwaukee, Wisconsin Before...

Fastbottoms, The 1207 you mentioned is equipped with a thermal protector on the motor side. Have you ever had it trip? The reason i am curious. Most of the big box store "oilless" compressors have motors with thermal protection. Because of this, cheap oilless compressors are built using...

Hello, fastbottoms. The insurance issue is an area one must step lightly. legit commercial dive business(mid sized) - just to cover the paper work an office staff of 5 or more IS required non legit - 3 or less There are a number of other gray areas these unsafe "operators" use to get...

DISCLAIMER; The following words are MY belief and may not coincide with other divers or this website. See, even I understand the power of the law-boys. (See bottom of post) Im gonna open a wound here... 1. - The ADCI is not I repeat is not a governing body. Their issuance of dive cert cards...

I have no doubt when you say that. Crap, if what I was told was even half true on the amount of vessels this guy does. It works out to be a good chunk of change (around here hull guys get 1.00- 2.00 per foot) even after the Great uncle gets his cut. Ive done my fair share of wheel work AND hull...

quick story. Back in the late nineties I was diving with a crew placing rip rap under and around dock/boatlifts (and area were the barge crane couldnt place. At noon we shut down. the dive crew had lunch on barge. Few minutes go by and we hear a darth vader coming from somewhere, we look at...

Hello again, Blue collar, white collar, copper collar, tupperware collar. ...point is this. You will find that the marine construction/service/etc. industries are some of few that still hold white and blue collar to different standards. The separation is relevant on this path you may choose...

Here is a simple answer in form of a question. Did YOU get a college degree too work hard and dirty hands (manual labor) on construction sites? OR did YOU get that degree to stay white collar? What types of personallities does this? skilled tradesmen pick a flavor As for White Collar...

Hand raised:D even had a smart ass raise the diver volume and set off the bells on a wind up clock. What is it about piling work that makes one tired? or bored? LOL Working shallow water means no reason for coming back to the barge. ****, when the radio barked "stand by gonna be a minute."...

...we are both correct. The 5 and 6 were manufactured with side blocks. When GA introduced the Externally Adjustable Orifice (straight down tube to EAO which meant fine tuning) the 5 changed. Around somewhere of late80s I purchased this to retro a dmc 6, as my 7 had one already....was told by...

ok ok ok here is my 2 cents ...another difference between the 5 and 6 was.....no side block on the 5 and as far as im concerned, the 6 IS the most comfy of any bandmask. The 7 in my opion IS the comfy of all the modern demand helmets. Given all that, Ill still don a miller over any. If the...

ROFL...the infamous Cocos Island treasure map...back in the day (early nineties ) I had a number of those maps...could procure one from any upstanding bar fly from Mexico to Points south. LOL "hey? psst check this real treasure map out, ever here of Cocos? You can have it for 20 usd no?...man...

Remember which side of the state?...sounds like a "company" in the Ft. Myers area...blasted on about how they were gonna take hull cleaning by the shorts...this "company" is no longer in the game. lol
