    Pro Buoy II dive flag

    A retired diver gave me some of his gear today. Included was a dive flag called the "Pro Buoy II." I think it's missing the floaty bits, but I have no idea what it's supposed to look like. Any old timers here heard of it? Photo is attached, separated into its two sections.

    Yes, and I’m starting to think that is the likely Yes, and I’m starting to think that is the likely suspect.

    Scubapro MK19 EVO and G250, both serviced before the trip. Depth was consistent 35’; heard sound throughout the dive, so tank volume didn‘t seem to matter. Heard it on seven dives over three days.

    I’ve got mail

    Didn’t seem to be correlated to anything I was doing. I could hear it “in the clear” between in/ex, and I could hear it under my bubbles.

    I’ve got mail

    This morning while diving in the Venice Boneyard, I repeatedly heard a “buzz, buzz” in the water, seeming to emanate from my gear. It was the sound similar to what you hear when you receive a text on a phone set to vibrate. My phone was on the boat. My Perdix AI was not trying to get my...

    Question OTS Guardian "Riding Up"

    I had this same issue for a while. I think my solution was the order of the strap tightening. First the chin straps, then the forehead straps, then a light tug on the top strap. I got my info from OTS material, maybe one of their videos. It's been a few years since I had to deal with it.

    I am in the Venice area for the holiday, and all my boat trips got canceled because of the weather. Anyone diving off the shore Thursday or Friday?

    Get your head down quickly: we were seeing things along the wall and in the sand as soon as we dropped in.

    Torpedo 2000 question

    Any current or former owners of the Torpedo 2000 here? I have a question but but no manual to check: Is there supposed to be an o-ring inside the slot where the nose cone fits over the battery compartment, or does it just lock down against the bottom of the slot?

    Tank Fill Near Eastport Maine

    I’ve been told that you are looking for a person who lives off the main road into Lubec. I have not found him are used to myself, he may be just a legend, but supposedly there is someone up there that might be able to help. Look for Scuba services in Lubec.

    HP 120

    Like I said, when I use my 120 I have to adjust my tank straps because it's bigger than my 100.

    HP 120

    I got a pair of used 120s earlier in my career when I needed the extra air. They are beasts. I have a few hundred more dives now, so HP100s are all I need. Haven't used the 120s for a while. The 100s and AL80s are close enough in diameter that I don't have to adjust tank bands. The 120s are...

    Done Diving Wet

    Whatever option you end up going with, be sure to give yourself time to get used to it. It’s not a hard transition from wet suit to dry suit, but it is a transition and it takes some time.

    PSA: Water is still cold.

    42° in Casco Bay last Sunday, that indicates a warming trend.

    Trimming a hood?

    Figured you did. I've cut a hood to allow my full-face mask to seal on my skin. It gets ugly quickly if not careful. And cutting a seam allows rips to happen easier.

    Trimming a hood?

    Did you try putting the mask on then running your finger around the lip of the hood so it's over the facemark?
