Hello all, I have some friends who are taking some time off from life and moving to Bonaire from the US for just over a year. They plan on doing lots of diving and I'm sure sight-seeing and whatever else they want. They do have a few questions regarding the electricity requirements of living...

I already posted this on TDS but thought I would mention it here as well. According to this webpage, Luxfer is now back in the scuba business, with a few slight changes. XS Scuba is now the only distributor for the United States, and Luxfer is only making four cylinders (actually three...

I had a request for advice on tying a regulator necklace. After a few attempts at changing the camera angle, I came out with this wonderfully low-quality poorly-lit video of me tying a regulator necklace. :D Thinking this might be helpful to anyone who has questions I decided to post it here...

For all you metallurgist / engineering types out there -- is the life of an aluminum cylinder based off of the age of the cylinder, or the number of use cycles? Does the metal lose the stretching ability just due to the natural aging process, or does this occur due to constantly filling and...

Awhile ago I ordered (4) Luxfer Al40s in the brushed no-coat finish. Due to a shipping/distributor error I ended up with these cylinders...in neon yellow. :shocked2: I really, really, really hate neon yellow cylinders. But, returning and shipping these back and forth would be a huge hassle...

A few questions...link here with the product flyer for these cylinders. 1: Anyone have a cylinder with this? If you do, what are your experiences? 2: Can any Luxfer dealer order these cylinders in small batches, or do they have to order an entire pallet, or what? 3: Can you get these in sizes...

I was recently in the Milwaukee area and my fiancee had a gift certificate to Pirate's Cove dive shop from her parents. We stopped by and decided to pick up an Al80 -- they were priced very nicely at $150 for Luxfer's supernatural finish (links to a PDF file) including a Thermo DIN/yoke pro...

How close do the buttons line up on your Ikelite housing with your A570IS? I just got mine today (early Christmas present from my fiancee :D) and I've noticed that some of the buttons have issues lining up. It's as if I can't get the camera itself seated exactly where it needs to be...

Anyone know where I can get a ScubaPro Fino mask -- black skirt and frame? Looks like Leisurepro isn't selling them anymore. They used to be $30 at Leisurepro while the MSRP was $74... I really don't want to pay $74 for a plain black two-pane mask with no extra gadgets...that's just...

W1czBcnX1Ww Reminds me of this: "Judgment Day is inevitable."

I am currently planning a trip to the High Springs area that will involve plenty of river and drift diving, along with some springs and of course, manatees ;). It will be an ambitious trip but we're planning to hit up: Ginnie Troy Crystal River & King Spring Rainbow River The Santa Fe River...

I'd like to thank Brent at ScubaGearPro and Sink or Swim Scuba for being a standup guy. Several months ago I bought an OMS bottom timer (Uwatec with "OMS" slapped on it) from Brent. After a short period of dives I noticed the depth reading was off a bit. I contacted Brent and when he got...

Looking over the list of current GUE instructors, I noticed that the list for instructors in the US seems to have shrunk. Was there a recent purging? People not update their cards? People disenfranchised? There seem to be more international instructors and I am happy to see that the...

I have heard rumors that having a hair ball or piece of dice or whatever on the end of a reel is not DIR. Just wondering if anyone here has the 'official' word. I haven't taken a GUE cave course so perhaps this is something explained in there? I can't see any cons, but the main 'pro' I see is...

Along the lines of Jason's "cookies storage" thread... My GUE-F instructor had the Halcyon bellows pockets with the extra velro enclosure on the outside flap. I believe he said he used this for 'emergency stuff' -- cookies, arrows, etc (??). Ed, if I totally butchered that I apologize; it...

It's been quiet in here lately. Shouldn't we be arguing or something?! :D

I normally wear size 12 shoes, thus preventing me from wearing XL Jets with my rockboots. I wore Turtles today and they just aren't quite the same. :( I'm considering checking out some Chuck Taylor shoes to use instead of rockboots. Anyone have a size recommendation? I normally wear plain...

I've seen the price on this going up drastically over the last little bit, and I also heard it was made in Finland. Is this price increase just due to the dollar slumping or is it equipment related (or is DR just being greedy?) :D

NCDivers down?! :(
