Thanks. Found it there. But not in the "About me" tab. :)

Doesn't say that on my profile. Bug? :confused:

Two divers in the family, same suit (Bare Arctic 7mm bought in fall 2006): same problem on both. I was actually looking for some solid pads to stick on... any hints? It seems the same problem you have: starts with a small nick and then just keeps on opening in the knee area. I tried glueing...

No, you didn't google it right. Comes up on the first try. Samurai Elite - here.

I buy all practically all chemicals from Sigma/Aldrich - this one is probably what you want (~$30/kg). Good luck. (I assume you know how to use it.)

According to the information I have, OMS LP-45s should be 23" long - about the same as an Al 80 or a PST 100 - are yours different? :confused: Or did you have to wear them lower because of the manifold being closer to the back of your head?

Deep Sea Suplies Torus wing. I'm very happy with the kit, will buy from them again. Tobin from DSS is frequently on the board, search his posts - great information and customer service.

Nice! That's close to what I imagined. Glad to see they work for you. Faber has 476 cu.in. cylinders on their site, that would be 7.8 L x 2640 psi (182 bar) = 1420 L = 50 cuf Any particular reason one would prefer 45s over 50s or vice versa?

Canada actually, for me - we need TC (Transport Canada) certified tanks. Yes, we can get Fabers but apparently only LP with that diameter.

Shore, kayak - no boat. Want to cut down on weight. Baby doubles preferred to stage: more compact, easier to carry on back, same valve configuration as full doubles. I'd consider a small stage as a secondary option.

Double 7 Liter setups (that would be ~ 2 x 55 cf) seem popular enough as shore dive setup in Europe - but apparently impossible to get in North America. These are 5.5" dia tanks, rated to ~ 3,000 psi (220 bar) and doubled with a short isolator manifold (example attached). They are compact...

Daval - Yes, I know. Very cool report on OD. Darrell - Thanks for the hints. Will try sometime. Hey, I've read a rumor about a sub somewhere in Lake Ontario - is that what it actually is :confused: ;)

Reply is in the other thread ... Bonaire, eh?!!! How's that for contrast!:sigh:

I dove on the assumption that this is outside the TPA boundaries. I may be wrong. There were no signs of any sort posted. But for a definitive answer I yet need to get a map. Definitely! But one could just lift the heavy stuff off the ledge standing at the bottom. There is enough space below...

Leslie Street Spit shoredive report here. :)

Inspired by ScubaSteve001's quest for shore dive opportunities in the GTA (*) I sampled the waters at the end of Leslie Street / Tommy Thompson Park today. Access from Leslie Street, parking at the Tommy-Thompson park parking (1) or better on Unwin Avenue. From there it's about a 200m (300...

No I haven't, but I'm planning to as soon as I get a chance. :-)

A 4.5 km bike ride to the cove in which the wrecks sit - but only 200m from parking to shore if one just wants to get wet. :)

Here's the thread: Ontario Diving If you've never been out on the spit, it's a great place to go - there are two huge bird colonies (seagulls and cormorants) near the end; a great contrast of primal nature scenery with a backdrop of the Toronto skyline. But you do need a bike. That...

Steve - did you see the thread on OD where they dove the "Southern Trail" by bicycling out on Leslie Spit? Good stuff! two.crows
