Good luck. You got the right electronics for that unit. Mine is basically the same and i got it year. I haven't touched my OC gear since except to jack the regs for bailouts. You will love diving this unit. Just be super careful especially if you have a lot of experience with open circuit...
As a localish diver the speculation is that his wing dump broke or got stuck open and he dumped all his air trying to stay on the surface and sank with an empty tank. I did see that almost kill someone last year but luckily the boat captain was near by and screamed at him to drop his weights...
Fwiw the service manual says to check the filter going into the solenoid and if has crap on it tear it down and in your case i would replace it. If that filter is fine and the unit works fine i wouldn't worry about it. If you have the technical skills i would recommend doing the tear down for...
I haven't had my boat out in a while. I did try to find the golf cart up towards the north side by the bridge but i think it is actually the foundations pillars of the old bridge. The ones by busterboid might be cool to check out but all the divers i know just like to talk about diving wylie...
Yes you can still get parts for the av-1. I bought one this year for $800 and it paid that back in about one dive trip. The guy that runs possioden dive adventures has an amazon store that sells parts. I rigged mine up with lithium ion batteries and it is great.
There are definable fossils there but I have never dove it. I am down to go exploring if anyone has a suitable boat. I did get this from someone that dove it long time ago but i don't know if its accurate. teeth are from about two miles below and about five above bridge for hw17.
Off shore is supposed to be better. I did one day last week and got 4 teeth over 5.5" and 10 or so more over 4". I think that is pretty good but i dont have anything to compare personaly. As far as weather if one is blown out they probably both are.
Yea it did take quite a while to get the class setup as i bought the unit at the end of January and just got to dive it in the pool for the first time this past weekend. It worked out quite well for me though as i only have to miss one Friday instead of taking a whole week of for training. He...
I am doing my training with John Conway I don't think he is affiliated with a shop. We had enough people here to do a class half in nc and the open water portion in Florida.
FWIW I am taking the IANTD Prism 2 Air diluent and IANTD CCR ART as a combined class now and have been told that once i have the requisite hours on the unit i can jump straight to the full hypoxic trimix course.
I am also in the charlotte area and dive anything and everything from jocasse up to lake hicory area almost everyweekend. Feel free to leave me a message and we can figure something out.
