    Sometimes the night dive just gets weird...

    Obviously a powerful image. It has been working on my subconscious in the background, and 2 thoughts have percolated up from the depths ... Ouch - nasty DCI. I understand option 4 better ....

    If so , it would be helpful if it could be found on Amazon under "80220D Mirror Strap", "80220D", or even "Nitescuba" ...

    How to clean HDG tanks

    I usually use acetone since I have it on hand, but @Divin'Papaw 's Goof-Off may be a good option as well. ETA: @Tracy beat me to it. I have to remember to refresh when I get distracted in a conversation...

    Question Is baby shampoo really that bad?

    https://stream2sea.com/stream2sea-products/biodegradable-shampoo-the-inside-scoop/ Ok, fish swiming in the spray bottle, no bueno. But a couple drops/dive even over 1000 diver-dives/day doesn't add up to significant changes in the physical properties of water in an open system.

    Question Is baby shampoo really that bad?

    Scoop water with hand, dump in mask, swish, dump ... Why is there a mask in the rinse tank? Do you have a reference that gives some data on the significance of concentration vs. harm?

    Betrayed and Bewildered

    That's Vanilla syrup .... :eek: The "Pure Vanilla Extract" that I get from Costco here is: "Pure Vanilla Extractitives in Water, Alchohol (35%)" - OK stuff. Unfortunately, the company was sold from my Cousin's family, but they used to give us real top-shelf extract. Amazing seeing it come...

    The New Atomic TFX

    Unfortunately, I have a feeling that if they can't meet demand, it is probably not 1st stages that are the issue (since they are {pretty much} the same as the T3s). I would expect that complete sets will be prioritized over just second stages, because $$ ... 10 months waiting so far ... sigh ...

    Din Retainer / Hand Wheel Loosening?

    I think the Lube suggestion was for the DIN-Wheel to retainer interface and the threads where they engage the tank valve. I do lightly lube the interface to reg-body threads to prevent seizing when disassembled, but that arguably would contribute to the potential for loosening. - poison picking...

    Din Retainer / Hand Wheel Loosening?

    I've had that happen with my HOG D1s. So I do this: Cranking tight before, or Counter-torquing the reg-body when, unscrewing the DIN wheel seems to help to keep things set. Loctite is not unheard of for this type of application - IIRC Early Genesis manifolds were Red-Loctited together as...

    I finally bought a house in Cave Country! W00T!!!

    I'm seeing a Solar Farm in your future ... Facebook MarketPlace is awash with cheap panels. Put up some post-frames and use them for a carport roof.

    Question Warped yoke A-clamp self repair?

    I was thinking similarly. And one step further - as long as the through-hole and inlet-hex recess dimensions are "dimensionally compatible", it really shouldn't matter what brand yoke it is functionally.

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    Skaneateles is -76.431 For the state the range is: Well, Western 1/2 if not Western 1/3 of the state ... so definition!?!? For the central third the range is: So it is at least Western Central, NYS if you a playing "Rule of Thirds" rules. :p Now if y'all saw off the dangly bits down there...

    Question Where are you viewing the 2023 & 2024 Solar Eclipses?

    Western (at least) NY mostly got skunked. We had 3-second glimpses through the clouds then went hard-overcast about 8 minutes before totality. Benefit, didn't need the blackout shades ... The relighting afterward was quite dramatic, even if we couldn't see the eclipse directly...

    Info on PST Steel Tanks

    PST is out of the SCUBA cylinder biz. Still a well loved tank. Special Permit tanks 3500\3442psi have to have the permits renewed every 5? years. They tend to lapse, everybody freaks, and then a month or two later the permits get renewed, and life goes on (no hydros until the permit is...
