Tyler from Big Blue helped me out with a new set screw and tiny little o-ring. I should be good to go now. Thanks, Tyler!

Got in touch with Big Blue today and they are sending me the proper set screw so I won't have to make one. :thumb:

Anyone have an old Big Blue CF-250 that could remove the set screw and shoot me a pic of the shape of the tip and maybe even measure the diameter and thread pitch? I'd like to be able to just take a correct size bolt and file the tip to the correct length and shape. If I can fix it, the thing...

I get similar headaches firefighting and diving. I obviously get dehydrated in both cases and need to work harder on the issue; strike one. I use a full face mask (Guardian for diving) where tight straps can cause issues. I try not to pull them tight, but sometimes for whatever reason, you...

Can you elaborate? OTS says 1st stage at 135 and John has said up to 150 is fine. I've adjusted our 2nd stage to spec, to the gnat's whisker of free flow, and it is still not an easy breather, especially during heavy work. Compared to a good conventional 2nd stage it seems like you're...

August 13, 2000 and June 14, 2002. Their dive team SOPs were restructured after the fatalities, so those events would have to do with their current operations. They train through DRI, which is how I was made aware of their previous fatalities and subsequent changes in philosophy. Divers...

While I would have liked to see the DUI harness, we can't wait on something that may never go into production. We purchased the LGS harness and weight system. I believe we will be happy with them.

If you are worried about the 2nd stage, leave it hooked to the tank and under pressure while it soaks.

If you keep feeding him, he will never go away! lol

The LGS harness/weight system was finally received last week. I got my hands on the package yesterday. We hope to do some work with it in the next few weeks. The weight release pouches work well. We will have to do some adjusting to get the weights to snuggle under the Zeagle 911 BCD's and...

I have a $25 DGX Ultra View mask, a $100+ Atomic mask, and an OTS full face mask. I like the $25 DGX mask best! I think it's a whopping $29 dollars now. :) I've ordered a few other things from them, both from the website and via eBay. Excellent service.

Update. After six weeks and a couple of emails, LGS never sent us the demo harnesses they promised. We have moved on and will look elsewhere for a quality product from a reliable source.

Indianapolis Fire Dept recovered a vehicle from a frozen lake yesterday (Jan 3). The driver was rescued New Years' Eve by IFD divers and is still alive, AFIK. She was the only occupant. With the infamous fatalities of IFD divers a few years ago, what was the mindset in deciding to recover the...

I immediately pictured a Daffy Duck cartoon with him crawling out of a wine tank hammered!

Marcos is a hoot isn't he? .

If we find the LGS system lacking, we will make do for the time being and look forward to the release of your new product.

When is the new weight system coming out? We need a solution now, not months from now.

When I relax in the water, regardless of being on my stomach or back, my torso sinks and I end up vertical with just the crown of my head touching the surface. When I was young and lean, I sank about 3 or 4 ft and more or less hung there. I've never been able to float on my back like others...

Absolutely. Even if they aren't allowed, use them to perfect your stroke first, then start working without them.

If your bottom half is sinking with the crawl stroke, you are likely tense and you are holding your head up some, possibly without even noticing it. Your head should be more or less completely submerged, and you should take in air by turning to the side putting your mouth near your shoulder...
