Anybody heard of this manufacturer? Local thrift store has a regulator for $5. I have no idea who the heck made it. Is it worth the price of a beer to find out?

After calling around again and getting nowhere with my local bigger name dive shops, I went to a more tech/industry fill place that was not your standard rec dive with lessons shop. The employee said they could not hydro the tank 'as it was older than 1990'. I left it and told the owner (who...

The old steel 72 Nemrod I saved from scrap (made in 1979) looks real good inside, as I see no rust in the tank or on the surface (the hydro dudes will take off the boot - I did not look at that yet). Shouldn't I feel pretty confident about the integrity of that old soldier? By that I mean...

Thanks. Not a ton of dive shops locally, and my past efforts have not been good, but I will inquire. If I lived in North Florida I wouldn't have even brought it up. :cool:

I guess I can get the old Nemrod filled to 2250, and then hook it up with a tank-to-tank equalizer and a full LP95. Not sure the exact math given the difference in volume, but I imagine when the pressure equalized you'd get somewhere between 2400 and 2541 psi on both of them - at least if the...

How the heck did you get the hydros with a plus? They have no REE stamps that I know of. I just found an old Nemrod tank waiting on the road for the trash man last month. I know I can get a hydro test pass, but not the plus. 71cf is mo' bettah than 64.7 cf, so how the heck do I talk them...

Oh, just my no longer sinking like a rock when I hit the water due to me being low body fat and high muscle mass.:( ....and every dang thing else you could imagine. Oh. And diving at 50 feet with 38% oxygen will be different. That will make the tequila the night before feel as if it never...

I have a double cert as well. The Gainesville Dive Shop owners were both YMCA and NAUI certified. NAUI gave me a card in 76, but not the YMCA folks, if I recall. I might have my old YMCA paper certificate somewhere. I don't think they can be verified by the YMCA anymore - that a geezer took...

Hey Y'all. I had a fantastic NAUI course in 1976, and dove occasionally at resorts. I dove the shallow sculpture garden at Isla Mujueres last summer, and got the bug again when I took a refresher course to do it. Plus, the SCUBA Gods want me to dive. I was driving to work and saw a tank and...
