Can anyone help Provide model and specs for a compressor based on limited pics I have? also, what kind of filtration system is this?

looks like I will be in Brisbane around July 2-12 (give or take). I got one recommendation to reach out to DiveDiveDive, but am looking for a little more info or pointers. I do have my daughter meeting me there for the 5th-10th, we want to dive together, but I’m not apposed to catching a...

I have seen plenty of threads and reviews of the latest and greatest cutting edge canister lights that rival the landing lights on a 747. A recent post on a FB group had me thinking about how far Dive lighting has evolved even for the entry level lights. Both primary and backup lights. Just as...

I have finally made the big switch over to diving dry. My first big challenge it that the Florida heat creates quite a bit of dampness in the suit from perspiration. Not a huge issue during the Dive, but I find my suit is not drying out as quick as I would like, and I hate to lay an expensive...

I have plans to be in Monterey for a few days in early April. I was thinking of trying to squeeze in a day of diving while I am there. Other than shore diving in Monterey Bay, what are your favorite spots and dive ops? -Probably on a week day Tues or Wed that I would have available...

I recently acquired an Omni hose adapter for one of my Poseidon 2nd stages and noticed an "outer" 0ring aground the base of the threads. Like most LP reg hoses, it's the inner dynamic o-ring that's really sealing the Low/intermediate pressure. So why the extra O-ring? I also took a look at a...

Google has failed me.... Seems I remember seeing a Wood Box "fixture" produced by one of the major reg manufacturers. Just for clarity, it was sort of a wood box that the 1st stage fit in to hold it securely while you would remove or assemble during a service. Does anyone have any more...

I have been using some off brand 18650 batteries in lights for OW/Cavern dives as well as small back-up lights over the last year or so. I had been reasonably happy with them for reliability and burn times. I have heard many comments about them being "junk" and not to use anything with "fire"...

I own a few HOG regs and am planning to take the TDI / HOG service class next time its available near me. Will there be either a crossover class for Deep6? Or are the classes totally unique? I see a huge advantage if I could take the training for both at the same time. Especially if the...

I have a kid that just finished Navy 'A school' and is shipping out to Japan in a couple weeks. ...Does anyone have a perspective on how realistic it is to bring any (or all) scuba gear. I know there will be time for diving at some point. And yes, we know you can always rent gear, but beyond...

I am trying to plan a short trip over to the FL panhandle next weekend. Any info or ideas for a mixed group of OW/AOW+ divers nearby to Panama City Beach and maybe even Pensacola. For starters, we have been targeting Jetty Park for a shore dive. I have done some searching, but have not come...

I've been reading up on kr2y5's thread on FM tank positioning and am thankful for the documentation of his experimentation and learnings. I did buy a SM book, but the pics are not really good at showing the detail I am looking for. **And before anyone jumps in with the obvious.. I am...

Dove three of the NFL springs over the last couple weeks. I've had a couple friends and my kid in town who are all OW divers. So we were in OW friendly spots. Troy, Paradise and Ginnie. Overall we had a good time, but was just a bit vexed by a couple sightings. I certainly don't consider...

I am slowly putting gear together for sidemount and a deco/stage bottle. (plan to schedule training for sometime this year) I have read a book and a few articles on gear config, as well as close observations of other divers I know. It seems most have their gauges on short 6" HP hoses with...

Looking for some info on Poseidon O-Ring types and sizes. I have a couple 2940 1st stages I want to clean and service and want to use O2 compatible Viton (or better) O-rings. It looks like most of the O-rings from the 3872(Viton) kit will work, but the HPseat and the diaphragm are different...

Just a couple question about valve inserts from Poseidon Jetstream 2nd Stages. a) Is the rubber shell supposed to permanently bonded to the black plastic base? I have replaced a couple of these just due to age, and noticed that one of these showed some movement at the base (red arrow) that I...

Just seeking input or thoughts on keeping a LP inflator hose attached to a redundant first stage when not in use? Primarily using BM doubles, and have a couple thoughts: 1) I don't want to remove the right side LP inflator hose when diving wet 2) ..and like having it there to check IP before...

Does anyone happen to know the size and type of O-Ring used for the Dive Rite Slimline Canister? (the redish one) I know I can measure it.. I just don't have it nearby right now and wanted to ad a few to my O-ring order. Thanks

Just a couple question regarding usage and IP specs for Poseidon 2nd stages. Up til now I have been diving primarily Odin/Jetstream regs in a Hogarthian backmount configuration. I have now added 3 new open water divers to the family and have a trip planned down to south FL in Feb. So I need...

Like the title says, I have a ScubaPro TEK BC with a small leak in the inflator "elbow" fitting. I guess its not really an 'elbow', its a swivel with a little button on top that vents when you push it back. I don't see any obvious "pull" dump on this, but maybe that was disabled by the...
