Call Trace Analytics if they don't respond to your email. They are a good company. Tests are typically done quarterly.

My simple approach is to not ask or expect any compensation (I take buddies out as a gesture of friendship) and the cost of the trip is worth it to me to get out diving with friends. If my buddies choose to chip in for gas AFTER everyone is safely back on the dock, I may or may not accept it...

Many people including me take a steel plate on vacation but one of the benefits of a modular BP/W system is that you can disassemble it and sub a lighter plate (aluminum or more exotic material) if you want a travel-specific rig. "Regs go in carry on." I used to do this but I almost lost two...

I put a loop of bungee around the spool and another loop around the SMB. Hair braid bungees work well for this. When I deploy the SMB I put the bungees on my wrist.

I have been using one of these Tempest pockets on my waist strap. I store an SMB, light, whistle and Nautilus in case I need them. It sits out of the way, far back on the right, next to the plate. If I need to deploy anything, I slide it forward so I can more easily open the zipper and access...

One reason jacket style BCDs prevail in rental fleets is because they provide almost 360 degree flotation at the surface. When you're wearing a jacket and you inflate it fully, you tend to ride higher out of the water (assuming it is properly fitted and it doesn't rise up off your shoulders)...

Every boat I have been on has had plenty of hangers and a dedicated drying area but if I thought I needed a clothesline I would pack a small hank of 550 paracord.

We have seen you lurking and we were wondering when you'd introduce yourself. Welcome!

True. But while the stickers say 2400, the burst discs say 3442/3500.

Lol they are good valves. Just let buyers know these are DIN specific valves and cannot be converted to work with yoke regs. Not that many doubles divers use yoke regs but you never know....

Thermo, as it says on them. Trick question?

Tusa makes inexpensive corrective lens inserts: https://www.sporteyes.com/tusa-corrective-lenses.html Most mask manufacturers offer one or two models with interchangeable lenses. A pair of corrective lenses to fit the mask typically costs $50-$60 on top of the mask. Or you can send the mask...

Did a trip from La Paz to Bahia de Los Angeles and I thought the diving was better in the south. Snorkeling with the whale sharks at Bay of LA was fun hough.

So much drama for something that should be absolutely routine. Too bad you didn't support the new (good) shop by buying a tank from them instead of mail order.

Why are you still using this shop?

Curious where this procedure came from as the manufacturer's website just says apply, rinse and dive. Is it from your own trial and error? Personally I use Sea Drops Gold (as directed) or my own patented spit recipe and both seem to work fine (except when I used some Blue Lizard reef safe...

If anyone needs yoke conversions for SP regs I have a few extras ... taken off when converting to DIN. $25 delivered.

If you think you might grab bugs, you also need a lobster report card ( $13 or so from any place that sells licenses or online but it will be mailed to you) and a 3 1/4" lobster gauge.

Sorry but wishing don't make it so.

Any room for one more? Will work for diving 😆
