    Drysuits and Options: DUI, White's, Diving Concepts

    FWIW You can rent a DUI trilam or Crushed neoprene from At the Waters Edge in Westfield to try the two. They also do pool nights in Chicopee that might be an option for trying suits. I rented a CX200 from them for my AOW but I had to buy my own seals which ended up on my TLS 350. In my...

    Help explain to my dad...

    Off the top of my head I would guess that he has had sex, eaten at a buffet or otherwise had way more personal and disgusting interactions with at least one stranger during his life. Personally after sluicing my second stage in diesel fuel inside a containment boom and the water around the...

    Uses for scuba tank, please add ..

    Well, I don't recommend this but, the other day nobody on the surface was paying attention to our work barge(two old sections of marina float strapped together and powered with a 4 hp outboard=Yankee red necks) and the roller chain had hung up on the barnacled piling. We came up to find one...

    Ebay has it all

    Hmmm? 1 Atmospere living, underwater, with a moon pool? Thats going to make one hell of a nice fishbowl. It is definetly going to qualify somebody for a Darwin. And the moonpool can double as a toilet. That should keep the door to door salesmen at bay(pun intended) :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

    Much Needed Scuba Inventions?

    How about incorporating front bladders into a BP/W harness. This would give some really positive heads up flotation on the surface in rough water. Something like a pocket-meets-wing. Make it an accordian style similar to the Zeagle Ranger style wings so that it is totally flat and...

    Poor drysuit service from LDS

    Hmm, Suit needs to be resized/boots changed. Charge customer for work in advance but neglect to collect "shipping". A year later "Oh by the way we did nothing because you didn't pay shipping". Covering mouth with hand and coughing. Whats that sound like? PS Why don't we have a bovine...

    my Valentine Day pressie-a new light...now what??

    Don't forget to attach a bolt-snap to the head so you can secure it out of the way when not in use. Snap it to a shoulder ring and it doesn't get smashed under a tank on the dive boat either. I guess the split ring is meant for that but it violates the "no metal to metal" rule. Nice light. I...

    Neoprene mask strap compression - or my imagination?

    My experience level is only middlin with the slap strap but I usually see water getting in when air gets in the hood and causes the strap to ride up towards the top of my head. This causes the top of the mask to kick away from my face. I make a point of wearing it a little tight and low so...

    Depth uncompensating MK17

    I think you might get a better answer on RBW. The majority of people here are going to be skeptical if only because they don't know about regs set-up for CMF as opposed to depth compensating. I have an Oxycheq blanked. The environmentally sealed Zeagles should work. You could probably use...

    "Ice diving" - forgot my dive gear...

    I was up in Burlington, VT a few years back on Valentines Day for a rallyX. The daytime high was 2F with a decent wind. Those maniacs cut a hole in the ice of Champlain and people jumped in to support the American Heart Association. BRRRRRRRR

    Scariest Air Fill of my Life!

    Live and learn. I just took my new to me doubles in. The guy filling them was very experienced and used to dive doubles. He got the joke when I asked for a %21 nitrox fill since I was just going to try them on in the pool. He did use two whips. So the manifold connects the tanks below the...

    On the other foot,,,

    I just want to get out a little bit of mirth that has been circling the drain(or brain). Now that the She-P is getting wider use(pun intended) will it be socially acceptable to make jokes about them? Who hasn't joked about men ordering condom caths too big? Will it be okay to joke about women...

    New surface support uniform...

    Light the green batik lava-lava I tried on in the Lucaya marketplace this is probably a great attention getter for women if worn briefly . Now walking around on a regular basis? Not me. But hey, we all love a sport that combines rubber suits, harnesses and KY, so who are we to say?

    Experienced Dive Buddy needed on Cape Cod

    Not Nantucket Sound but if you can get to the lower Cape this summer you're more than welcome to jump into Provincetown Harbor to see some pretty mud/sand or grab a few bugs. If you want to do it on a regular basis you'll need to drop $40 to the Commonwealth for your Rec Lobster License. We...

    Walden's Pond

    For what it's worth I asked one of the guys on the biology side at DCR. I would hazard it's do-able in an arranged group way but not likely for the individual diver. If they haven't got a paper rule it should be easy to talk them into it. Diving is legal on bodies of water over 10 acres so no...

    Feedback ratings

    I bought some tanks from MER but they were listed in Lobsta Divers Forum. I wanted to leave feedback but since they weren't in Classifieds they don't have the trader feedback link which would give the URL. Is there a way to get the URL from the original non-Classified post? Thanks, Brad

    anyone diving?

    Waters fine. Dove a bunch of tanks this week in Ptown. Feet got pretty cold around the 5th hour(in and out of water a few times) yesterday. Love dry gloves. Got to say hello to a harbor seal who was using our jobsite(a sunken trawler) as a jungle gym. The guy shooting documentary footage...

    DUI Neoprene ZipGloves

    The compressed neoprene zip gloves are much more skin friendly when you try to wipe snot off your face. Blue gloves have mucho traction and chafe my nose. I prefer the neoprene for dexterity as they don't bunch up as much when squeezed making them easier for things like tying knots. With the...
