Don’t know you or what you’ve said before. Better off without your two cents.

I haven’t done it myself. 2 different shops. I’m starting to think the problem was never the o-ring. What else would cause a leak in the same area but appear fixed until the 2nd use?

I just found a drawing on a similar scuba board post. That post was to identify a leak, but I need to understand why that o-ring continues to fail.

I’m getting 1 dive between failures (4 failures so far) and am pretty sick of it. Any ideas what could be causing a persistent 1st stage o-ring failure? This started after the reg was serviced. Was something missed?

In the Florida Keys, I dive with Rainbow Reef. You can book the training, diving and hotel through them. They know where it’s safest for students, and your nephew will have a blast. I’m sure they can address any concerns you have.

What’s the prize? Something cool I hope.

I’ve had two replaced in the last 12 months….

It depends. If my buddy was someone whom I know well, I may trust their judgement more than someone I just met. I’d like to remind everyone that reporters are notoriously lousy writing about dive accidents. It’s quite possible there’s something the court was presented with that didn’t make it...

Between dives, kitted up and ready to go, heard a distinctive pop and a moment later continuous whoosh of air around my first stage. It turned out to be my swift transmitter. SW sent a free replacement and all is right in the world once again.

No gov please.

So, I checked my medical insurance and I’m covered internationally for both emergency and urgent care (emergency is life saving, urgent is unexpected illness). No coverage for getting home or excess hotel days but I can handle that risk.

Good luck. Please let us know how it goes. Thanks

Thanks everyone. I have DAN dive insurance already.

This is a general question about travel insurance. I’ve never used it but reading some of the threads here it seems more popular than I thought. How many of you buy travel insurance and have you ever collected on a claim? Am I being risky not having it?

Don’t do it

So….what did they do that was so terrible that people would avoid them? I’m not getting it from what was written here. They had a mechanical problem and offered a choice to either get a refund or dive from the larger boat. I totally understand the OP calling the dive, I might have called it (I...

Have fun, ask for help if you need it, be yourself. Don’t worry about the rest, divers are a helpful and friendly community. There will be people of all experience levels and skills on the boat.
