Rogue is a great BC. It was my planned purchase before I picked up my diverite. I still toy with picking one up :laugh:

Id be curious about the problem one as well.

Howdy all, I lost my flashlight while diving for meg teeth over by Venice Beach in Florida. It's a tovatec brand, I don't know the model. It's a barrel type with LED and magnetic switch. And it should have the male end of a retractor clip attached. I found exactly 0 teeth and lost my best...

Misc bits and pieces I have, relieving pressure isn't an issue. I just need a 1st to attach everything.

NOT TO DIVE WITH, I'm not crazy :) Buy I have a spare spg and I DON'T have a quick and easy way to check tank pressure without breaking out my reg set. If you have a junker 1st stage good enough to be a garage tool and nothing else that you want it out of your way, please let me know.

I'm incredibly well aware of the process. I stand by my statement :laugh:

Mustache wax, cheap and effective. And it washes out easy. Or... get a better mask. My 1st one was a pain. I would trim to skin at the upper part, use wax and it would 'usually' work. I switched to a frameless silicone and don't do anything, works. I might need to clear a tiny bit, and that...

Did you see that 'viral' clip a while back about a teenager being a royal baby on a boat "I WAAANT TO GOOOOO FIIIISHING!" and the capt just pushes him overboard. Hillarious.

Mil spec is the lowest possible cost to perform the bare minimum. It's not a yay! moment to be labeled mil-spec.

I'm space coast florida. There are a few good shops near me. If you're by the keys there are a billion shops.

I'd do that for $11. I spend 7 or 8 on a can of cold zinc and only get 2 tanks out of it. $11 without the work, done deal IMO.

I look at wetsuits the same as underwear, only new for me. Gear though is gear. Regulators are fairly simple (I know they're not) and they haven't changed too much in the last several years. A used one that has been serviced is pretty much as good as new one. My first tanks were at least 30...

Add $50 onto the price of any used gear so you can get it serviced. The only new I've had has been tanks and wetsuit. Bc, give it a visual and make sure it holds air. Anything you breathe through needs a service.

Expansion isn't a risk, the air in the car doesn't compress anywhere close to enough to be a problem!. At the bottom you're breathing at close enough to surface pressure to not matter.

I like the upright float on the surface the jacket gives. And that's it. I hate the belly squeeze. And since you should be spending most of your time not floating at the surface....

I dive a transpac (no k), I like it. Basically nite a soft backplate/wing. And yes I'm saying that just to irritate somebody... But I like it quite a bit.

All my gear is used. I factor in a service with the cost. So far I haven't been burned, 2 bc's 2 full reg sets, 5 safe 2nds, 3 computers, 8 tanks, 3 sets of fins, 2 lights... I think the only 'new' I've bought has been a couple wetsuits, a pair of fins, and 2 masks. It's always a risk but so...

Get a steel hp100. You'll have a smaller tank with less weight, which will keep your consumption down, and you'll still have the capacity. Or get a steel hp80, and have a TINY tank with a little less air. When I was diving on 72's I usually had about the same air left as others on their...

Everyone has their tastes, if you want a pretty tank, you want a pretty tank. If you want one that's all buggered up, that's what you want. No biggie. I've painted several using plasti-dip. It's a rubber coating and you just peel it off when you're done. It's ok for durability, doesn't flake...

Making them in 3 color (body, white, black) would be expensive. I can mold things, that would not be the easiest thing I've done.
