    Question Why can I find only one very large (30l) air tank?

    As others have suggested 99% chance a regular scuba shop will not fill this or a bank/cascade cylinder. If you’re looking to setup an air bank and you don’t have a compressor check your local industrial gas supplier. They will have tanks suitable as well as filling capabilities. I don’t know...

    Egypt in August: bad idea?

    I was in Dahab in August. As everyone else said it’s a dry heat. Yeah its hot but personally I did not find it that bad (keep in mind I mostly live in Indonesia so im used to very hot tropical temps, and before that I lived in Australia super hot as well so maybe I have a different opinion on...

    It's 2024, do we have a decent computer yet?

    For recreational look at the Garmin computers. Pretty nice computers/fitness watches. I have the MK2S and have been wearing it everyday for 1.5 years now and love it. I really like all the fitness features, great for hiking, running, biking, etc. It is the same size has a standard watch (much...

    Question lion air

    Could not agree more. Try flying in the US (supposedly a 1st world country) I have 1K status with United and Platinum Medallion with Delta I fly that much and I can tell you that flying domestic flights in the US is just horrible compared to Asia. The customer service on US air carriers is...

    Who is riding trimix dil all the way to the surface and who is flushing to a nitrox dil?

    Yes I find that dil switching becomes very very effective sub 130m you can knock a lot of deco off your run time. Also keep in mind dil switching is also for bail out efficiencies. Say your diving a 180m dive with 85% He as your on board dil if you were to “ride” this all the way up to the...

    Question Buy A Regulator in Australia to Save $$

    Check Tienda de Buceo, Buceo Técnico, Fotosub, Apnea, Natación or PROTEUSHOP.COM - Matériel de plongée technique I have order tons of gear from both. I like them because they ship UPS/FedEx/DHL and you don't have to pay EU GST and if your just ordering dive equipment there is not US import tax...

    Dry Suit for Short Woman - don't dive cold often

    Im not to sure how short your are but one of my very good friends is 5'1" and could hide behind a flag pole if she turned sideways. She is very happy with her Santi, I think she has the E. Lite + she did the custom made to your measurements option. One pro tip. If you a small framed female and...

    FREE NITROX

    Nice! Glad to see its is actually free Nitrox. I noticed sometimes dive centers have the "free nitrox" sign/advertisement out front to get customers in but the "free" nitrox they give you is like a 25%. More of a sales tactic to get you in the door over the 15 other dive centers on the same street.

    Question When do we speak of technical diving ?

    Yes ANDP course you will have Air or some very low nitrox mix like a 25% (There are no other option, ANDP is a prereq for Trimix) and some kind of higher percentage decompression gas like a 50% 70% 80% or 100% just depends on what the diver center has available and there mixing abilities and...

    Question Do you prefer someone help you set up your gear, or do you prefer setting up by yourself?

    What I would really love is for someone to tear down my gear and clean it service. That is the worst part about finishing up a 6+hr deco dive. How nice would it be to have someone strip down your rebreather rinse everything, pull the tanks of and fill them, dump your scrubber, Steramine...

    DIY wing tutorial - very picture heavy.

    Any chance you can share the specs on the PU coated cordura your using? And are you also just ironing it?

    Nitrox math problems?

    Honestly I would not stress about it too much. This magical 80% is just a theoretical number In a recreational diving scenario it is really really really really hard to get to 80% CNS. I would actually be really impressed if you could even do it. Even as a technical diver unless you are doing...

    Wanted Helmet

    Honestly if you going to get a helmet, get one that actually protects your head. Light monkey helmets offer basically no protection nor have any type of safety rating. Really they are just a fashion statement. I am a long time rock climber, and also do a lot of dry caving as well as caving...

    What would you do if you saw someone diving a tank marked "For paintball use only"?

    Generally carbon tank are 4500psi and ali are 3,000psi. There is a built is regulator on the tank that drops it down to around 500-800psi (depending on the brand and type or reg) and that is what feeds into the paintball gun. Then on the paintball gun its self there is another regulator that...

    Ok thanks for the clarification. Yeah where I am at everyone just gets scuba tanks filled at scuba shops with scuba air its a quick and easy $8.

    What would you do if you saw someone diving a tank marked "For paintball use only"?

    Now that makes sense and is a very good point. I never thought of that scenario. Fair point.
