I was hoping to revive an old reg at the shop, but I can't seem to figure out who made it and if there are any sources for a new HP seat. Attached are photos. We had a few HP seats (green thing lower right of second photo) that were similar, but none fit well enough. edit: sorry for the...

As part of my internship for DM/AI I've been asked to update out shop's equipment specialist course. I would like to add some photos of equipment that may have been poorly maintained or neglected as a "don't let this happen to you" section. So far I only have a few corroded first stage...

Well the ice cleared in many small southeastern Michigan lakes this past week, so it was time for a nice cold early season dive. Since there isn't much going on here online, and I have not seen too many non-commercial dive sites reported on, I decided to write-up a brief report on a local dive...

It is my understanding that Senate S. 850 bill has passed a Senate committee and may come up for a vote over the next few months. As mentioned int eh post below, it works to close loopholes in current law. I would encourage Scubaboard members in the US to contact their Senators regarding their...

I have tickets reserved to Fiji in June. I was interested if there are any perspectives on the political troubles? I'm not sure if I should consider an alternate destination.

I was interested if anyone had experience with what laws apply to taking photos underwater with the intent to sell them. I have a few questions for discussion. I'm aware most paid diving seams to be covered by OSHA commercial diving rules, but I have never heard it discussed in relation to...

I'm on the look out for an Ikelite port #5508.45 for the Canon 100mm f2.8 macro. If you have one you no longer need PM me. I'd also consider parts for the modular port system.

Hello scubaboard members. I'm planning on making an iphone-based dive-log application that will be available for a small (<$5 US) fee or possibly free. (all I would like to do is pay for the subscription for iphone developing, not make a profit) Below are some preliminary specifications and...

I'm considering starting some Tech classes in the future. I was interested in anyone's recommendations on Tech Instructors / shops in the S.E. Michigan area. I'm thinking I would want to take a non-tech class from the shop this year and get an idea for their teaching staff and the shop. Any...

Any one have experience with the various DUI ZIP gloves? I have Zip Seals, and I was thinking of upgrading to gloves. I was hoping someone could comment on warmth and flexibility of the material options (Blue, Orange, and Compressed Neoprene). I'm most interested in warmth as I dive most in...

After inspiration by ucfdiver's DIY canister light thread on a DIY light, I decided to build an LED "HID" canister light. After looking at a few sites and combining some ideas I'm going for a system based on three 3W lights with a lithium ion battery. My estimated budget is $170. I will be...

I was interested in how different ikelite housings are numbered. Specifically, I have a Canon elan 7 (Ikelite 6777.7) and I have seen several good prices for Elan II housings (Ikelite 6777). My basic question is if the Elan 7 will fit inside an Elan II housing. I'm not opposed to modifying...

I am looking at buying a new reg, the following are the choices I have narrowed the field to -Mares Abyss 05 -Atomic Z1 -Scubapro MK25/R390 And no the unusual Scubapro pair is not a typo. The LDS guy said they got a deal and wanted to make an inexpensive MK25 setup. He also claimed most...

I was interested if anyone had recomendations on books that are out there on decompression theory and models. I was looking to learn more on the teoryside of diving. (I'm AOW now) I'm working on a Ph.D in physics, so technical equations don't scare me. I'm thinking of the book by Bruce Weinke...

I'm moving to Atlanta in a few days and I was interested in any experiance board members have had with area LDSs, good or bad. I'm considrering taking Tech and/or divemaster courses in hte next year or two, so any thoughts on more advanced instruction would be helpfull as well.
