Heard several rumors on the cause. Out of air, diving between 10 and 70 feet. Also heard a boat near by spotted him and dragged him to shore to initiate CPR.

Well, don't like to necro bump this one, but just saw on the news, the owner of AAA fire was shot to death outside his store back in late July. Had referenced this thread, since Simplex stopped doing in-house hydros, as well as Koetter. AAA seemed to be the only one doing hydros in the area...

Came to see if anyone had posted up on this. Why would you airlift someone with dive related injuries? If this was indeed AGE or bends, hope someone's getting their medical license revoked.

Seems like they are designating this a fishing mecca for anglers. And in 60-70' of Mississippi-tainted gulf waters, would anyone really be diving this regularly? Especially with the threat of getting caught by day fishermen?

Simplex Grinnel 1600 Royston Lane Round Rock, TX (512) 634-1800 They're in Travis County, near the indoor soccer facility in Pflugerville. They 'dro-ed my tanks two years ago on site, + rating and all. They were reasonable, too!

You diving out at WP, Mansfield Dive Park, Mansfield Cove side, or elsewhere?

Austin news, sports, weather, Longhorns, business | Statesman.com Sounds like they are looking for a body out at Barstows. Anyone have more info?

I always remember the water clearing at 20ish miles, and clearing up extremely blue around 30 or so. I'd contact the Orion charter boat, I'm sure Mike's made a run or two out there if it's outside Port A.

Just beware, because when you bring in a freshly hydro-ed tank, some shops won't give you a deal on your VIP, since they know what you're up to. Check Simplex Grinnel (I believe that's the spelling), I believe they have locations in SA, too. They're pretty good, and they've been known to do a...

The reasoning behind not cutting open the bottom is for the tip over factor and stability. And the bleeder valve allows for adjustments when the barrel gains buoyancy with depth change. I believe with using the original bung holes the attachment point will be stable enough, but if you cut open...

Does anyone know of a good site for DIY directions? I need to put in an air bleeder at the bottom (top) of the barrel so I can bleed air out while lifting. I could do this if it was an open top barrel, but since it's a closed plastic barrel, I can't really figure out a way to get the valve...

Pretty sure the assumption is that the burst disk remains intact while the cylinder fills to around 10,000 PSI. Most tanks fail well beyond the 5/3 working pressure threshhold. Take into consideration that most fill stations won't get anywhere near that pressure, and now take into...

I'm sorry, but have any of you seen what happens when you take a hot tank out of your summer car trunk, then dip into the lake? I can almost watch the guage drop 100 PSI just at the surface. It's a fact that water absorbs the heat much faster than the air (thus the reason we wear wetsuits and...

OOO, OOO, I know! It's unique because it has a light bulb in it! and a lens. And there was no diver's wrist attached to it. It's as good as mine!

Aw, that's where I proposed... burn it, get rid of it, good riddance! On a side note, how did they manage to move that beast when it was above water?!

I do know they pulled a body out near the bridge last year, so you might find some fun stuff.

Tiger Shark. They're down off of 20, about a 10 minute trip, but well worth it.

It's a miracle! Really, I never thought I'd be excited to see the day she cracked 640'. Good to see she's on the rise! I also heard that LCRA was going to cut back on the releases, and the rice farmers could essentially eat a fat one if they had any problems with it... about time!

I saw Mike at the LTUC last month, hasn't changed a bit. Looks like he did, seemed to be of sound mind and body, but I don't talk business with him when I see him, since it's a touchy subject. I definitely don't support his doings in any way, and it's surprising to this day to hear he did all...
