    Full on, and a little off

    The article above is "cave diver harry's" own argument ... not an industry norm .....Not quarter but slight final twist is fine ... prevents valve from jamming... if the needle fluctuates while breathing, it could be multiple reasons ... valve closed or blocked ... reg filter blocked ... reg...

    Dive Shop Financials

    Dennis your concern is valid, however as Lorenzoid pointed out there is not much competition, the number of dive operators are limited few, operating on 2-3 limited sites. We are in operation since last 4 months, certified 30-40 divers ranging from OWD, AOWD and 3 DM. In begining our focus was...
