So very sad to hear of Bryans passing. He got me into doing my own service and was a fantastic resource for all things scuba, not just double hose. The diving world is a lesser place without him.

Not available new, but I’m sure someone on the forum has one. That’s how I got one. Had to tear an old one apart to get it but now it’s all good. Good luck!

I think you missed the whole point.

Absolute loved it! The narration and video were first rate. I believe that it was probably his son that was the second camera man. And I do not think there was more than one octopus. Would have defeated the whole premise of the documentary. My wife and I both cried a little at the end and she...

Exactly! Lets put it at 99.9999% for the truly anal retentive among us. ( I`m sure there are a few of us)

Spare air is for an emergency ascent from depth, either due to OOA or equipment failure. It`s NOT meant for a leisurely ascent from depth with a safety stop because you are lousy at monitoring your air. A few breaths can make a difference between a panicky breath hold ascent or a semi-controlled...

PM sent.

By that thinking, just don`t run out of air. Problem solved.

I got to my intended dive site on Bonaire (Tolo) and realized I had left ALL my gear back at the resort. The nice thing about Bonaire though is with it`s size, it took me a 20 minute round trip to retrieve it. Plus the fact that I was solo diving I didn`t have any embarrassment! Although for the...

Many years ago I used to enjoy trying to get a puffer fish to inflate. Thought this was very cool. I eventually learned that these fish have only so many blow ups in them and that it really stress them out. I haven`t done this in the past 20 years and if I ever saw it happening would inform the...

And when you get down there if you inflate the airbags under the wings the Boomers will get it to shore and get that baby in the air eventually!

Yea, what he said! I`m one of those that overtorqued. Once you`ve done it you`ll know. Kind of a sinking feeling! Helps to have a spare on hand (Thank you, James). Or go with a phenolic, they can take a lot more torque. Either way just make double sure to check that area before descending into...

If you haven`t tried taking out the battery and reinstalling it, that may work.

WD-40. Just make sure to scrub well after or they will be very slippery.

Still have one of these too. Works perfectly and is a little more liberal than my newer ones. Only reason I really upgraded from this one was for nitrox.

I love my 20 year old Cobra. I think the newer computers are just an added expense if you old one works. If it`s nitrox capable, no real need to upgrade. Just like an old good quality reg. If it ain`t broke don`t fix it. (or in the case of regulators-rebuild it)

You-Tube is a good resource for rebuilding your own as is this forum. I would say that offhand, ANY question you may have during a rebuild would be answered here by multiple members. Plus it` fun!

Like has been said. any regulator can fail at any time. That said, it hardly ever happens. I`ve gotten used stuff that hadn`t been serviced for 20 or more years that functioned well and stuff that had just been serviced and didn`t work. I believe that any regulators service life is more...

Just cancelled our late July trip. Yeah, that grumped me out!
