    Tovatec flashlight, light, venice area florida

    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...

    Wanted Free yoke style 1st

    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.

    Suggestions for hard to fit...

    Howdy, I'm short (5'6). Let's just get that out of the way. From the waste up, big strong man, but my legs are short. I have broad shoulders and chest, but my legs are short. I have short legs is what I'm saying... The last time I got fitted for a tux they took my measurements 3 times...

    Tank size comparison

    I only have 3 tank sizes at the moment. But I've been asked now than once about how "big" a tank is. All are steel, the only aluminum I own have been turned into bells and umbrella stands. Left to right, faber high pressure 80, old lp 72, and faber high pressure 100.

    New tanks VIP? Conflicting answers.

    I'm trying to pull the trigger on 2 new faber stealth tanks. LDS doesn't have them, their distributor is 2 months out of stock, so I'm looking at leisurepro and diveritein, both say they have them in stock.. LP says the tanks are hydro, by law shipped with the valve separate and it will need a...

    "New" tanks, first HP, how did I do?

    I was picking up my regs today and asked my lds if they had any used hp100 steel. They had several a few months ago but I didn't have any play cash so I missed out. Anyway a couple minutes of digging and, no "they're the toughest ones to find used". Not a big surprise. Anyway I mention im...

    The gerber caddy, because my back hurts!

    Next up (it's been a while since I made something) is a way to get your gear to the water. I blew my usual max budget of $5 per project clean out of the water. I think I spent about $30 on this one. Your first step is to take up jogging. Let's face it, we're all getting older and you could...

    Backup computer holder thingy

    Yep, scientific as all get out with that description. Anyway I have an older computer that I'm not really using but it still works. It's in a 3 gauge console. Is there just a clip on style small boot that I can pop it into to use as a backup? I poked around leisurepro and didn't really see...

    A slow SPG is a bad thing?

    Short story, I picked up a used spg, hooked it up to a tank and instead of quickly snapping to pressure it took 10-12 seconds to get there. It did match my other gauge, eventually. So even though it does 'work' I think it would be a bad idea to use it as it won't react quickly enough to show...

    Problem with mares computer

    A while back I bought a new mares puck pro from a forum member. It came with the box, screen was still wrapped etc. I'd like to say, and I mean i would REALLY like to say it has been used a lot and worked great every time. But I cant. I took it out shortly after I got it and it did work well...

    How do I ID different types of seawing nova?

    My legs aren't what they used to be. I've been using old jets and my daughter is flat out running away from me in her twin jet splits. Our last dive I felt like I was sprinting after her none stop. So I think I need to upgrade a bit. I'm looking at a pair of used nova's. How do I tell if...

    I made a thing.

    I decided to take a departure from my usual $5 something really useful builds and do a $20 no use whatsoever build instead. And I had some down down time recovering from almost dying and having surgery. So i made this.

    Safely diving with heavy tanks

    So probably stupid question... but how do you safely dive a heavy tank? You of course hear about finding dead people with their weights still on but what do you di if there's no weight to drop? I dive in a rash guard, steel 72 and minimal weight, 4-6 pounds. 8 on a fat day :) I'm not a...

    Ive got a mission 2, works well. I recently picked up a drak to making logging a little easier. I load the driver's, I plug in the DRAK and get a green light. I put the computer into PC mode and plug the 2 together and nothing. Drake turns off after a while, no red led, nothing on my...
