Not sure if I posted in the appropriate place, Does anyone on here have experience in dealing with and buying from Tech Diving Limited in Arizona? Their web site seems legit, www.techdivinglimited.com they have a verified PayPal account, but I can't seem to get any honest communication from...

I have a Dive Nav Cootwo CO\O2 analyzer. It needs an O2 sensor, and now a battery. I believe I've found both. But should I just let this thing die and get a unit from a company that's still in business or try to keep this going? I'm getting to the point where analyzing my gas is becoming more...

Hi all, Just starting my journey into sidemount. Currently doing pool sessions prior to Quarry work later this month. I'm 6'1" 190 lbs and My current set up that I'm using for the pool is: 5 Mil one piece wetsuit, no hood, no gloves, 3 mil boots, DiveRite XT fins, Nomad XT with Tec Plate...

Probably a dumb question, but here goes: I just purchased a barely used Diving Concepts Dry Suit that fits me perfectly. However it needs a new neck seal. I'm sure the new seal will have to be trimmed for size as I've had to trim every neck seal I've ever replaced. Is stretching the seal over...

So, how many people on here played with these as kids and grew to love diving as a result? I still get my Aquanaut out once in awhile just for the fun of it.:D

Does anybody know if there are other specific differences between the Zeagle Z octo and the Z Primary regs besides the purge cover? The owner's manual that came with my Z octo says it's "basically" the same as the Z primary normally paired with the FH7 first stage. Reason for asking is...

I'm sure this has been asked here before but I've been unable to find the thread to answer my question. I'm looking at getting a pony bottle and trying to get an idea of the time I'd have if I was using a 19 cf tank. If a 13 cf bottle is roughly equal to about 500 psi in an AL 80 as I've read...

I'm getting a 19 cf pony and intend to back mount most likely inverted on a Dive Rite Transplate. I was thinking that I might just leave it rigged with it's own reg. To that end, does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a Zeagle Razor? Initially, I like the simplicity of the design...

Hi everyone, After several years of diving many of the buoyed wrecks in the Thunder Bay, Alpena area, next summer my friends and I have decided to expand our horizons and try diving the Monrovia. I say "try" because the weather in that area is unpredictable and rough more often than...

My trusty old Sea Quest mono lens mask finally sprung a leak at the lens/frame after 10? years. It's time for a new one. I dive the Great Lakes and shipwrecks mostly. With viz between 30 to 70 ft most days even down to 105 ft. What are some pros and cons of Black skirt masks and clear ones? I...

I have a basic question: My computer is a Suunto Cobra. At the end of my dives I still like to go through the SSI dive tables to log my dives to keep fresh on the use of the tables as well. When doing repetitive dives, especially when doing three or more I am frequently "running out" of bottom...

Hi, I'm looking to add a little redundancy to my deeper rec dives with a H valve and extra reg set. Any tips on set-up and hose routing? Clip off tips? The H valve is coming off the left side of the tank valve. Tank is a steel HP 120, The redundant reg is an Atomic B1 with second SPG. My...

Well, at the risk of criticism, I just did my first ice dive this weekend in a small shallow pond to see how myself and my buddy would fare. All in all, I thought it went quite well. Air temp was 23*F and water temp was 37*F max depth was 11 feet. The small shallow venue was to control the...

Hi Jared@ Dive Rite, I do have one other question related to the Dive Rite Trans Plate harness with A Backplate and Wing now that I think about it. First, a (short?) explanation. I will be eventually taking Tech classes and with that in mind, I've been upgrading/replacing my equipment. But I...

I just received an Email from Leisure Pro saying the the Trans plate harness had now been discontinued. Anyone else know about this? I'm still on the fence between ordering the Dive Rite Trans Plate harness or their Hog harness. Not necessarily from Leisure Pro mind you, they're just a place I...

Everybody here was so helpful on my last question, and I thank you. I decided against the SP series all together, and am now looking at the Dive Rite Transplate harness and stainless BP and like it quite a bit. But then was shown the APEKS WTX harness yesterday. They both have merits...

Hi all. Not really sure where to post this question where it'll be found by someone who knows. But here goes, I'm told by a Dive shop recently that the government has reinstated helium allocation again. I didn't know they had before, but I'm starting to research gear and training for tech. And...

Hi, This may be a very rudimentary question, but I'm looking to upgrade my kit to eventually pursue Tech training. I currently have a jacket style BC and I know the back plate and wing will be quite different to start with. But I am torn between the Scubapro Form Tec harness and the Pure...

Hi, I'm new to this site. I got hooked on diving very young using an Evinrude Aquanaut. Later started using N.O.S. vintage AMF Voit Scuba equipment but had no formal training until getting SSI certified in 2005. My diving was sporadic until my first wreck dive in Lake Michigan, the Niko in...
