I appreciate the offer! I just saw this and I live 4 hours away, plus I've been back home since last Wednesday afternoon. :) I ordered the parts necessary and the crimping tool the other day, just haven't done the repair yet as I've had a lot of other stuff going on.

I've been staying with my wife in Melbourne the last couple of days on a work trip so I decided to shoot down to the bridge yesterday and get a dive in. I love the site but I swear I'm cursed with what I consider poor viz every time I go there. o_O Had a few problems to fix (pulled a wire out...

I love DGX. I've purchased tons of stuff from them over the years (mostly small parts and bungee, repair items, etc. in large enough lots that I can get free shipping). I don't think I've ever had an order take more than two days to get to me, although they are only about three hours away. In...

52 or more. It's the only way I keep my sanity. lol

The doubles package they quoted from your neighbor is $859, you're only getting the figure you quoted if you order the tanks, bands and manifold a la carte. I've also ordered valves from DGX (amongst many other things bearing their name, like wings and regulators) and never had issues in over...

Considering at my most frequent dive sites, I have to load about 80-100 pounds of crap in a cart to carry it a mile round-trip or onto a boat, put it all on, climb up and down ladders while wearing it, and swim for 1-2 hours per dive... I count it as a workout, no doubt about it. It's usually a...

From some of the stories I've heard, the risk taking behaviors from nearly everyone in public safety or emergency medicine (I know a ton of cops, firefighters, EMTs, nurses, etc. - practically my entire friend circle is made up of these people and I have been one of them before, as well) aren't...

Agreed. You're not going to get perfect responses every time from anything run by humans... the important thing is that no one died or suffered long-term health effects because of it. Second most important thing is the issue gets corrected and doesn't happen again. Yes and no. He basically...

I had a friend do a "same cave, same day" dive to 186 feet during my AN/DP class while my instructor and I were gearing up for our last dive of the class. He's been an RN for years and has done critical care transport literally all over the world (Greece, Italy, Australia, the US, South Africa...

My buddy and I are going to come out from Vegas (I fly in Jan 31 and leave Feb 10) in early February to do some diving and take the Express over to Catalina. We are considering bringing our Blacktips and renting tanks while we're there - do you know if the ferry would have an issue with the...

Looks like the surf temps at Pensacola Beach are 66 ° right now

Amigos would definitely be easiest if you were taking I-75. Everywhere around here closes at 5-6pm (just in case you're still in the area/planning more dives).

That was the first DPV dive I did to test out my Blacktip and it was pretty fun. We scootered from KP Hole up to that flat sandy patch past the campground where OW classes are conducted, did some diving around there for about an hour and scootered back. Just don't try to use the...

It's going to take too long to save for the unit + classes that I need in order to dive it in the first place, before I can spend the time on the unit to be able to take CCR Cave. I'd be cutting myself out of probably two years of cave diving by doing that, and I'm tired of: A. not being able...

Dive Catalina Island (in the works as far as planning) Dive the Oriskany Dive more caves, period, including some new ones (Telford is one I've wanted to hit for years) Dive in South Florida whenever the opportunity arises Get my Full Cave cert Get Cave DPV cert Perhaps start looking toward...

Do you have actual tape measurements for it?

Same. If I'm prepping cylinders at home, I'll usually cut it and mark the percentage, MOD, pressure in the tank, and date. If I do it at the fill station on the way to the dive site... it's just getting percentage and maybe MOD. Chances are all four of my steels are going to have the same or...

I just use Frog brand painter's tape. The same 1.41 inch tape I use when I get suckered into painting someone's house over a weekend and nearly kill myself doing it in the process because I was ten years younger when I did it full-time and I still think I can work at that pace in my mid-30's...

Agreed. I normally only rinse, if diving freshwater, after a few days of diving OR if it's convenient (tub, vat, etc. with clean water or a place to hang & hose it off). Saltwater I typically rinse as well as possible and hang it up immediately, but that's fairly rare for me. Boots are getting...
