    The Scuba Van

    I bought my wife a new van and decided to take the old 2005 Toyota Sienna and turn it into a dedicated scuba van. Had it out memorial weekend for the first time. Will need to make some changes and address the suspension. I will take some video of it later. 4 tanks on each side on slides...

    Broken Halcyon DSMB

    Greetings All, I have been using a used Halcyon DSMB. While I don't currently have a need for it since I pull a dive flag around with me, I still deploy it on one dive. Unfortunately, I had a failure at the overpressure relief valve of the DSMB. I am not sure what the technical name is, but...

    Dive Site Naming Protocol?

    Greetings All, As my wife and I dive and explore more freshwater lakes, we are finding that many of the lake names are the same or their are multiple dive sites in a single body of water. I was curious how you label your dive site in your logs. I am using subsurface and was thinking about...

    GoPro Green Water Footage no Blue on Histogram

    Greetings All, I am currently using a GoPro hero session. Yes it is old. No, I do not have a filter for it. I am not sure they even make one for the underwater case. Anyways, I have been playing with color correction in hitfilm (It runs on my computer unlike the free resolve). I am still...

    Staying Still?

    As I continue to work on my buoyancy, I am wondering if there are any tips for staying still? While I have got away from using my hands, It still takes all of my attention not to move my feet. At first, I just thought it was a trim issue but I am not so sure anymore. I feel compelled to...

    LDS Won't + 10% Fill Plus Rated Tank?

    Long story short. I have 4 lp tanks. 2 LP72 and 2 LP95 are not plus rated (I didn't know this was a thing when I picked them up). 2 LP72's that were just hydroed came back plus rated. I pointed to the plus rating but was told that a tank can only be plus rated for the first 5 years from its...

    Concern for Other Divers Safety

    I have been sitting on this for a few days now and somewhat alluded to it in another thread. As a new diver myself, I am not sure it is my place to say something. When my wife and I were out diving this past Saturday, we were stopped by a gentleman who was asking about the dive site. I was...

    My Drysuit Experience w/o Course

    Greetings, Like so many before me, I was stuck asking the question of whether I wanted to take a drysuit class or save $200 (actually $400 if I count my wife as well). I was leaning towards taking a class, but Covid-19 happened which shut down all of the area pools our dive shop used. I also...

    Drysuit Leak or Sweat?

    I finally was able to get the DUI CF300 I bought from scubaboard into open water on Saturday. Up until that time I had only used it in a few pool dives when the air temp was much cooler. I will explain the day of diving if it helps with the question. Is it normal to sweat so much in your...

    How Do You Tie Your Bolt Snaps

    Greetings, I am curious how you tie your bolt snaps and why? Does it change depending on the item you are tying the bolt snap to? When I bought my Dive Rite regulator kit, it originally had a hose clip retainer which was convenient but tended to move around. I then tied my bolt snap with...

    Gilboa Lodging?

    I saw on the Gilboa Quarry website that they have lodging available but I couldn't find any information on what the accommodations actually are except for the price. Do any of you have more information or pictures? I want to plan a trip to Gilboa. It looks like the closest city with hotels or...

    This is a used 2013 ScubaPro Ladyhawk with Air2 in size large. I bought this from blacktip scuba last year. The BCD was inspected in 2019 Blacktip said the air2 was serviced in 2018. My wife found it to be very comfortable compared to unisex rentals from our local dive shop. The BCD is in...

    Whites Diving New Venture...Sex Suit's?

    I was watching the 2nd episode of Amazon's original series Upload when the Intimate Suit Rental store the character walked into seemed strangely familiar. :oops: There were mannequins dressed in Whites Diving drysuits with VR goggles. :rofl3: Apparently Whites adapted their suits to become...

    Used 1989 VT12 Bauer 3-phase Air compressor?

    Greetings all, I keep an eye on wisconsinsurplus.com for work and saw a used 1989 vt12 Bauer 3-phase air compressor listed. Is this something worth exploring further? I know the 3 phase motor would need to be replaced to 1 phase motor. I really did not plan on getting a compressor anytime...

    SI-5 dry glove system

    Greetings All, I picked up a used DUI CF300 with the SI-5 glove system installed. I had a small leak that appeared to be coming from the glove cuff. I need to replace the gloves. I looked up the instructions for the system but it does not state if a specific glove is required. It does state...

    Shelter in Place Diving

    I think most of the world is under a shelter in place order. Some are able to get to open water, but others do not have that luxury. What kind of diving are you doing at home? Videos and/and Pictures? I bought this used DUI drysuit from scubaboard and have been waiting to try it out. With 4...
