    Wanted DSS Torus 49

    I already have one of these and it has developed a separation at one of the seams and is starting to fray. No way to take it apart and repair. Looking for a replacement in great condition as this wing works well for me.

    Went out for two days last week diving for teeth, ended up with a decent haul. These teeth were found roughly 40 miles offshore of Wilmington, NC. Haven't been cleaned yet.

    Wanted Sherwood 6300 series Valve (or just stem...)

    Need a valve stem that apparently is the Type B stem from the Sherwood 6300 series of valves. I would be willing to buy a valve someone has laying around or preferably just the stem if anyone has one. Pictures below of the exact stem I need and the valves it came off of.

    Sherwood Valve Stem - where can I find?

    I have a valve stem that is rounded out on an old Sherwood manifold. Haven't had any luck finding one with local shops or several online sources. My thought process now is to find an old Sherwood single valve and just salvage the stem from it, but was this valve stem style common/on most...

    Undergarments in warmer waters

    Anyone have suggestions for undergarments for water in the 65-75 degree range? I have thicker undergarments that are good for down to 40ish degrees (or at least as far as I have had them). Tried my undergarments in the pool that was heated to 80 degrees and it was far too heavy. Looking for...

    Apollo AV / Oceanic Mako DPVs - questions

    A lot of my diving is off the NC coast for meg teeth, and I have been considering a scooter to aide in digging, it seems the guys with scooters end up with a better haul of teeth every time we go out. I don't need a $3,000+ scooter that can carry me deep into caves or run for hours, just need...

    Recently acquired two older tanks with 7/8 necks, looking to get these doubled up eventually. I see that there is an XS/Thermo manifold in production that will work, part no. VMT378-35A. Does anyone know if this is the only manifold still produced for these tanks?

    Wanted 7/8" Manifold

    Lucked into a nice matching set of HP100s and planned to double them up without even thinking if the threads were same as the manifold I had already... :facepalm: I can still use this manifold on another set of 100s I have, but in the long run would probably like to double these up as well...

    Charters not accepting certain agencies?

    Has anyone run into charters that are picky about which agencies they'll accept C Cards from? (Speaking mainly of the main agencies, not lesser known ones) I recently ran into a charter that wouldn't accept SDI Open Water certifications. This caught my eye as I did my OW with SDI and later my...
