    Looking for SP6498 or AA-6351 Bad Alloy Cylinders --- Must be cracked or ruptured

    Show me a bona fide academic article.... not an advertising/reputation article from a manufacturer. Why are you so afraid of the academic investigation? I just need a material sample. The rest is science. Not hearsay. Not opinion. Not a "belief" in the advertising literature. I just a...

    Looking for SP6498 or AA-6351 Bad Alloy Cylinders --- Must be cracked or ruptured

    Hi folks! Richerso here from Texas. Listen carefully. I have a very specific request if anyone can help me. But first a little background: I am not looking to reopen the debate about the "bad" alloy aluminum cylinders. Other threads cover that debate just fine. However, I do want to do my...

    Wow. Happy to see that this thread is still pinned..... I don't have a condition report. I just want to make a post in recognition of zinc. I reckon by now, most people don't remember who zinc is. Here is a commemorative post to my friend, zinc.

    Tyler State Park?

    If by the term "real" you are looking for some "objective" evidence, the answer is no. If you want to believe the two dive shops in Tyler, I will agree with both of them. I have seen some visibility at TSP that is 10-12 ft. I have seen visibility that is 3 ft. It is a silt bottom. The silt...

    No garage, no hose. I live in apartment. Caring for equipment?

    A little late to the thread.... My wife and I used to soak our gear in the bathtub all the time... no worries about plumbing.... hang everything over the tub, curtain rod, hang from the shower head, etc to dry. . . . . . . . . another option to indicating dessicant is rice... Seriously. Go...

    Tryton Gear In Business?? Out of Business?

    Does anybody know about the current business status of TrytonGear? I own a TrytonGear divelight. I would like to contact the manufacturer to complain about a significant device failure. However, a google search for Tryton Exploration Gear returns a website that is "expired". Looking into the...

    Any condition reports from CSSP this past weekend (9-7, 9-8)?

    Wait! What is this attitude? Huh? . . . .. By the way, renting a boat at Murray won't get you to any better dive sites -- other than spending more money. Bill is correct -- mostly -- about the goat entries. . . . Still, don't sell yourself short. The goat entries are manageable with 1...

    Air at Lake Murray?

    OK. Apparently no one here on SB has this information, so I will list it as NEW information on Lake Murray. Bear in mind, I had to dig through my archives to find this information. I will claim that this information is at least six years old, maybe eight years old. Having said that, Scuba J...
