    What to do with old drysuit...

    Thanks for the replies folks. I think I might try to fix it myself. I don't think it's worth much to be honest, so trying my hand at replacing the zipper might be a good learning experience with little risk at stake.

    Scubapro Everdry 4

    Anyone have experience with the Scubapro Everdry 4? I need a new drysuit that won't break my budget. I was thinking about another Bare Nexgen because my current one has served me very well. However, the Everdry is in a local shop for the same price but I'd get new underwear, boots and...

    What to do with old drysuit...

    My Bare Nexgen zipper broke this weekend so I decided to buy a new drysuit. The Nexgen isn't flashy but it's kept me warm and dry for 8 years and I'm going to go out and buy the same model. I considered repairing the zipper but realized it's $300 to do the work and I'm still left with an old...

    Tank overfill = mini hydro?

    Not in a steel tank. No worries at all. These tanks are regularly filled to waaaaay above service pressure in cave country. 3900 is policy in the shop I worked in and we used to top that off after a 10 min cool down. We used to overfill Al tanks too but I was never as comfortable with those...

    Jeez...he's like frickin' Treebeard. Looking forward to a few tilts with Brian Mcgrattan now that he's in Cowtown.

    unruly 7' hose

    I placed a pocket on my harness where the canister would go for this very reason. Works like a charm.

    Who moved the boat at Big bay point?

    I started that and it was intentional. More practical for translation. :D

    eBay's ridiculousness

    All my prices are Canadian. ;) The prices you're quoting are cheaper than we got them for at cost in the shop I used to work for. We were an authorized SP dealer. In US dollars a customer pays something like $70US after local sales taxes for a complete scubapro overhaul (parts only). So you...

    eBay's ridiculousness

    Service is required to keep your warranty. They are recommended by manufacturers and most industry professionals. You can choose to blow this off but you increase your risk. O-rings dryout and moving parts wear. No. This is not true. If you have a buddy that gives you parts at cost, you are...

    eBay's ridiculousness

    Parts and service for regs is expensive. A used reg should be serviced before you dive it and then of course you need to pay for parts...with every annual service. By buying a new reg from a company that offers "parts for life" you'll save yourself between $80-150 per year depending on the...

    eBay's ridiculousness

    Buying used requires patience. Check often, know the price of the item brand new and buy when the time comes. Don't rush. Also, don't buy used regulators.
