I had some blades that rusted pretty good in my Eezycut trilobites about a year back, I ended up replacing the blades and being sure to do a thorough rinse and dry after dives, but the new blades are showing rust near the body (and in the body) where the rust was/is. I've tried cleaning the (is...

I have a "Titan LX" (first and second stage) and a "Titan LX Octopus". I've attached a photo to be clear. These two regulators - they are identical (internally/mechanically) except for the color - is that correct? I mean the octo also has a snowflake/asterisk on the top of the plastic too - but...

I do not enjoy the PADI eLearning thing, I don't have any of the course materials for my recent course(s), but I still have all the manuals from my beginning courses. Anyway, I'm a bit unclear about the narcosis section for Advanced Open Water. I've completed my AOW and my maximum depth during...

I'm asking this because I'm pretty inexperienced (and not at all certified to inspect anything). If someone (certified) does visual inspections of cylinders, and the cylinders have current hydro, then the cylinders should be good to go for a year (in theory yes). If we wanted to replace a valve...

There's a lot of talk about rapid exhaust ports (pull dump), but I can't actually find any examples of inflator assemblies that have it vs assemblies that don't have it (elbow).

I’m not here to blame anyone. Except myself. Have around 24 hours bottom time all with the same buddy. We’ve never dove colder water before, we’re from FL and our coldest dive before yesterday was 68°F at deepest. Our average bottom temp was 78°F. We’ve always dove 3mm suits and boots. In...

Aqualung Titan LX - I was checking my first stage and I have some rust apparent on the yoke inlet (or ACD?)- and the rubber cap - Is this something I can clean off / remove myself? If so, how? Vinegar/water and toothbrush? Thanks!

So something happened over the weekend and I'm still a little puzzled about what we should have done. Two divers, both at around 20 dives - every dive together. My buddy pretty much always has difficulty equalizing ears - since we were OW certified. She always takes it slow down and will...

So this weekend I finally got to try out a BP/W configuration (rented) rather than jacket style BC (also all rented). To date, that would be dives #16 and #17 (hence basic discussion). The rig I got to try out had a wing for doubles, but I was only on a single, so I know the wing was a little...

If I want to find out where there is an instructor for a specific PADI course, how can I do that? All I can find is a way to search for shops around me and then click through to see what courses they offer. Say I really wanted a Railroad Yard Diver distinctive specialty - how would I find...

I'm looking for advice on an SPG (imperial). I'll be running Aqualung Titan LX 1st & 2nd. I have a wrist mount computer already - zoop. What I've gathered is I should be looking for an SPG that is "brass and glass" - but what I'm confused about is the rubber boot. I've read the debate and...

So it's a three day weekend and I was looking to maybe travel somewhere in FL and do some diving. I'm in Orlando. My go-to is BHB, but the tide charts look like sat/sun will be 4 low-light dives. What are some other good spots for this time of year that I could on air? My next guess was either...

Does anyone know if there's a way to check if Blue Springs is closed for diving because of manatees, aside from trying to call the park? Thanks!

Hi All, So I have an Aqualung Ventura+ mask, but when I adjust it to fit it either has way too much extra strap dangling or the cinch that holds the strap backs off and creates a loop: Normally, this doesn't affect the ratchet that ensures the mask stays snug, but it does sometime come into...
