Woman's 7mm uncompressed neoprene drysuit, with integrated boots and rear zipper. O'Neill size 14. Neoprene neck and wrist seals were replaced by Otter Bay Suits in Monterey, CA, just prior to last use, which was several years ago. Seals have nylon liner on inside, and are meant to be rolled...

Headed back to Kona in April for a couple of weeks for the first time in seven years. Last couple of times there, I had just switched from the old Big Island Divers shop to Kona Honu - for no reason other than that I thought the KH policies fit a little better with my shore diving habits. From...

A few years ago, someone hosted a copy of the manual, but that link is defunct now. Anyone have a copy to post or email? thanks, Mike

Just got this from eBay, represented as made by Beuchat. The only reference material I have is a 1999 service manual, and this doesn't match anything therein, though it does begin to externally resemble a version of the V10 shown in the legacy reg section, though not internally due to the...

Got a bunch of these years ago from a guy who seemed to specialize in USD, TUSA, and Poseidon. The bag was hand marked TR-911, but someone scratched out the TR. They are about the size of the seats for many piston regs, about 1/2 inch across. I'd like to pass them along if I knew how to...

I found this inside an old SP 109. I haven't seen this style of poppet in the documents or discussions here at SB, except possibly the 1978 Technical Manual. The cut-away diagram on page 10 appears to look like this one. The odd thing about this setup is that the spring end just seems to rest...

Just came across this. Probably not nearly encyclopedic, but still pretty fun. home | BluTimeScubaHistory

I've got a couple of regs in need of saddles. One at least is an Oceanic, not sure of the other. Never compared saddles, but they seem to be fairly generically sized. Does anyone know of a source for these, other than asking the LDS to contact the manufacturer?

Trying to ID this reg, and hoping to find a new HP seat. No Oceanic markings except the yoke knob, but there are a couple of externally similar Oceanic regs on eBay (they have a plain cap on the the HP side, not one with the center plug like mine). Neither of them has a model ID.

Visibility at Looe Key and American Shoals has been lousy all week, and we've heard a couple of times from Key West shops that it's been no better at the Vandenberg. Did anyone try the Vandenberg or anywhere else in the Lower Keys today and find decent visibility? Getting down to the last...

Camera and housing for sale, both little used. Includes two rechargeable CR-V3 batteries, and two xD memory cards (1GB and 2GB). Camera can also use AA batteries. Housing has been wet pressure tested to 130fsw equivalent. Camera lens is free of scratches. LCD screen has a few light...

Just heard from Wallin's in San Mateo that they want $75 for hydro+viz+fill. Anyone know of any better pricing than that in the area?

Just got an automated email notification of a subscribed thread, with the links to both the title and in the View This Thread button broken. In both cases a period was missing from the core of the URL, but a different one in each broken link. I seem to recall this has happened before on...

Does anyone know of a shop in the Lower Keys or Key West that will do term tank rentals (weekly rate for the tanks w/o fills) rather than the typical $10-$15, one fill per day arrangement? We're not far from Looe Key Dive or the KOA for the daily rate, but was hoping to find a term rental deal...

I recently took a Sony RX100 in Meikon polycarbonate housing on a couple dozen dives in Hawaii. This was the first use of the new housing, and first time U/W with that camera as well. After the first few dives, I began putting a single Moisture Muncher tube inside the housing each day. I...

BID no longer has a term tank rental policy that necessitates the use of fill cards, so unless I make some quick plans to move here - not out of the question! - I've got two cards I can no longer use. One card has 9 remaining fills, the other around 75. They have said they will honor the old...

With my first trip in two years, I guess I'm late to find out that BID has been under new management, with a thoroughly remodelled and spiffy looking store. No break in pleasing the dive crowds, from what I can see, and a friendly and helpful staff. They have changed at least one of their...

Split the body on my Air XS 2. If you've got one to sell, I'm interested. Prefer complete and working, but so long as the body itself is serviceable, I can use it. PM is best means to contact, I don't reliably get thread reply notifications.

I'm switching from back-zip to diagonal front-zip drysuit, a Pinnacle Black Ice, with the objective of being able to don and doff the suit without any assistance. I've had it on exactly one time, for a pool test. I can see I'll need some sort of device to extend my reach for full zipper range...

I'm servicing an old Pacer 900 for the first time, referring to an old manual kindly provided years ago by knotical. I'm unable to remove the balance chamber. It appears it should drift out, being held only by a captured o-ring. However, I've whacked it fairly hard with a punch down through...
