Just bought 2 DS4/TX 50's. Will use the DS4's for Backgas and the 2 DST/TX50's as stage regs when going deep and as Single Tank setups for Wife and Son when not going deep. Apeks is tough to beat.

As many folks have pointed out, you will never have all the gear you want but maybe more then you need. Make a plan and buy quality gear in phases. Training is always a good investment to start with. Many Tech Classes have gear requirements that may point you in the right direction. Good Luck

I live in NH. I have dove in the quarry 5 times but not in the last two years. I know about the target practice to. Actually had to go back down and resurface closer to the ledge one time. Someone was shooting at a can on the surface. I have never gone back into the caves but have been...

I see you have been to Rutland VT. Have you been their recentley? How is it?

Actually I love the TX 50's. I have had them for 6 years and never had a problem. I think they are a lot of reg for the money. Just curious what other folks are using for Deco and deep dives.

I know there is a reg forum but I want to hear from folks that dive deep with doubles, mixed gas, and stage bottles not folks looking for pretty colors and free octo's. I need to buy new stage bottles 40 CU. and regs for both. Considering upgrading for my back gas and using my TX50's for...

Awsome Pics! We don't get that much vis or ambient light at "High Noon" Gotta Love night dives! :hai:

If I understand you were breathing off this reg when suddenley it started to free flow? I have the TX 50's and if I have them turned to far open they will free flow if they are out of my mouth. I have never had an issue with them while breathing. I usually just had to squeeze the mouth piece...

Mil Medic is right on: DownStream, Blanced, Diaphram. They are excellent regs!

I as just re-reading and see a little confusion. My first post was for Diver Mike and second post to AUE-Mike. To many Mike's sorry if I sounded harsh.

Mike, Like many others in this thread, I value your experience, opinions, and advice. I think the conversation is a good one, but I wanted to ensure that the focus was not lost and that Diver Mike (A Future Passionate Wreck Diver) could be pointed in the right direction. I think a new...

This is the typical BS that drives me nuts. This thread was started by Diver Mike saying he had no experience with Wreck Diving and a desire to learn. What this thread has become is who knows more, Florida Cave Divers or New England Wreck Divers. Thrown in is a bit of PADI VS NAUI VS TDI…...

I am not familiar with the Stolt so I Googled it and see it is at 130’. Is that right? I admit that on my first wreck dive I was only OW certified but had 40 logged dives and was very comfortable with my gear. My dive buddy and I had worked what we thought was a solid plan to touch the deck...

I caught the episode last night on SAT diving. Very interesting! I have two Army buddies that were previously commercial divers on the East Coast. Some of the stories they had still scare me to think about. Those guys definitely have a Brass set!

Any follow up on this? I looked through Boston Globe and Cape Cod times and could not find anything.

Are there some questions that you need an immediate answer to? I have had my TX 50's for 6 years and love them. I recently took apart an ATX 50 and did not see any significant difference other then the diaphragm cover is now chrome instead of black and the cover plate is a little different...

Being from AK I thought you would just cover yourself with Bear Fat and Jump in!:D Seriously depends on your comfort level. Check out New England Lobstah Divers threads. Recent post shows temps in low 50's at 30-50'. I have not been out lately but would guess bottom temps at 100' to be in...

Nice thread guys. It sounds that you did the very best you could! Dealing with people dieing in front of you has a very strong impact emotionally and physically. Not to sound sexist, but my inner hairy DNA really has a difficult time dealing with Women and Children in these circumstances...

Been out of diving for the last two years thanks to Sadam and his boys. Getting things cleaned and hydroed again. Biggest annouance was that a mouse decided to make a home in dry suit while I was gone. Brand new CF 200 with only 5 dives. I had to get the holes patched but it is back and...
