Morning all, I have a couple questions about some cave diving media that you might be able to help me with. For the record, my risk tolerance these days does not allow for cave diving. Maybe cavern in the future but not full cave. Just so you can be comfortable knowing I'm not going to use any...

Good morning all. As promised, he's the 3rd project from my pandemic Ebay binges. Scubapro Mk 1 with an old style 108. Interesting creature. These were a little more beat up than the Mk 7 and 109 I cleaned up last week but i think they came out ok. It's hard to tell from the before and after...

Morning all. I started cleaning my next rebuild project. Everything looked clean and smooth inside the Mk7 first stage. I'll be using the tutorial about restoring the honk in the Mk7. Not sure what I'll do with the 109. I may just use a Duro-Poppet, but then again, another conversion to a BA...

Hi all, got a fin quandary and looking for a little input to help make a choice. I'm currently diving XL Jet fins, the old style, and I'm using various sorts of neoprene socks or booties. I have pair of size 13W Altima assault boots or whatever they're called that I would like to use as my...

Morning all, hope you're doing well and having some good dives. Seems like I primarily work on dive gear but rarely use it. Anyway, I've started cleaning up an old Sportsways 1/2" NPS "J" valve and have a couple questions. Photos are attached for reference. The valve is in pretty good...

Morning all, hope you're doing well and enjoying some nice dives. I present here for your enjoyment, 2, Mk5's and 2, 109's that I just finished working on. Both 109's are upgraded to balanced adjustables with S-Wing poppets, new springs, balance chambers, and levers. I think they turned out...

Good morning. I've been having trouble accessing the site from an android phone. I've powered off the phone, cleared cookies, and tried switching to desktop site on the phone. I was just wondering if anyone else has been having problems, especially from 0000 to around 0900 central time (US)...

Morning all, hope your doing well. I have a question for you about a rebuild I'm doing with a scubapro Mk5. I have a really clean Mk5 and a rebuild kit from VDH. Now, after taking this reg apart I found that it doesn't look like it's been used since the last rebuild. It has a white, flat, seat...

Morning all, hope you are doing well and getting some nice dives in. I'm about to begin the rebuild of the new to me Aqua Lung Mistral and I want to make sure I understand something. Because this is a single stage regulator, there is no IP to adjust correct? It's just tank pressure reduced to...

Hi all. Why do I keep seeing a request to send push notifications at the bottom of the page even though I select never ask again...every single time?

Afternoon all, hope all is well with you. I recently acquired a USD Mistral double hose to add to the other 2 DAAM's (yes, i was warned). Anyway, it looks great. This reg, as best I can tell, is a 1959, almost all original, West Pico, Mistral. I say almost all original because it doesn't have...

Good morning all. I just read this article... https://www.yahoo.com/news/watched-husband-almost-die-front-104525608.html and was wondering, is this actually "shallow water blackout" or something else? I thought shallow water blackout had to do with decreasing pressure in addition to excessive...

Morning all, hope you're doing well. It's happening as predicted...my double hose collection is growing. A mistral was delivered yesterday. It appears to be a '59. Original yellow hoses and straight yellow mouthpiece. No serial number on the lable. Actually I haven't seen it in person so...

Evening all. Hope all is going well with you. I have a few vintage steel tanks with the odd 1/2" NPS o-ring sealed valve. Every time i take these tanks to get a hydro, there is always some kind of issue about an adapter for the 1/2" thread. What kind of adapter do hydro places use? Is that...

First, I have no affiliation with this listing. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=aqualung+twin&_sacat=0 It looks like an older doubles pack, maybe for 72's with a J-Valve. I see a piece on one of the bands that looks like the holder for the reserve rod...

Morning all. Hope you're doing well. I have a question about buoyancy devices and double hose diving. I have never dove my DAAM's with anything but a harness or backplate of some sort. Currently I have a VDH style plate with a VDH 35lb wing which I love. I have dove the DAAM with just the...

Well, Bryan said they'd be in stock today and they were. 23 and 35lb wings both available. I ordered a 35 and i think there were like 18 left of each. If you've been wanting one they're here. Glad I waited and was able to go with the VDH wing. Can't wait to try it. I'll let you know how it...

Hello all. Just a question. Will Altima size 11 wide boots work with with XL Jet Fins? Thanks

Morning all. Hope you're enjoying your diving. I have just ordered my first hp steel tank and I promised the wife that I'd get rid of a couple aluminum's that I have. I am looking for a price/value on these and would appreciate some advice. The tanks are Luxfer, aluminum 80's, born on date...

Evening all. This thread is an offshoot from my "not another doublehose" post. I realized that the previous title might not have drawn the attention it needed for me to be able to ask the right questions to the right people. Also, I have attached a pic of the compressor that I received. I...
