    Salvo versus Halcyon: Solved.

    I saw this on a few other boards, and I didn't see anything here. I know a number of us (myself included) have Salvo lights, and may be concerned about warranty issues et al. I have to say - after seeing this, I see no reason not to continue my relationship with Salvo. Every dealing I've...

    Seeing Unsubscribed Forums...

    Hey there... For months, I've been using James Goddard's handy guide to avoiding things that don't interest me. I subscribe to the forums I read, and then I have a bookmark for "View Subscribed Forums." But now, all of a sudden, I'm getting forums that I haven't subscribed to. I'm seeing...

    New wreck in Toronto

    Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be a very advanced dive... http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Story/20040922-003/page.asp

    Wreck Hunting in Lake Ontario

    OK... in reference to Operation Great Yellow Shark, I just spent the past week hanging out with some folks from the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association, McMaster University and Northern Tech Diver. We spent a good amount of time searching for a sunken WW2 Aircraft Trainer... and while we...

    "A Tax on the Gullible..."

    I've seen a few references in some other threads to "a (fill in the name) is just a tax on the gullible. I've also seen references to how rude it would be to deride someone's gear choice as a tax on the gullible. I openly admit to calling particular items "taxation of the gullible." These...

    Buying my first home...

    Hey everyone - not that it's a big deal for you all, but I'm about to purchase our first home. It's a nice house on a big lot in the middle of the city, backing unto the forest, so we're pretty happy with it. Anyway, here's my dilemna... mortgage rates are so low right now (albeit rising.)...

    Negotiation Success Story - Spike Concedes!

    The war's not over Spike! However, I am pleased to report that Spike has caved in. Apparently recognizing the folly and foolhardiness of his evil ways, Spike has decided to hand over my new drysuit underwear. As a gesture of human compassion to our wet friends, I have decided that Dennis...

    Message for Spike the Shark...

    OK! That's IT! I've had enough! I warned you all that I was going to snap and do something crazy, but no - you didn't believe me. I sent the doughnuts to NTD, but did Spike accept the ransom? NOOOO.... I sent more doughnuts, but did Spike cooperate then? NOOOO... I even sent...

    Dibs on the Munson Goodies.

    Just so you can't claim you didn't know. :) The next time you dive the Munson in Kingston, try dropping straight down from the mooring ball. When you find the stainless steel buckle and the Turtle Fin with "JC" printed on it, they're mine. Unfortunately, they're not doing a lot of good for...

    Who needs a scooter? Alias on TV tonight

    OK - Bosslady just called me into the living room "There are Scuba Divers on Alias right now!" So I scurry down the hall to see the dude and hot chick wearing a pair of nice DUI drysuits doing some Lara Croft-esque exploration deal. They get into a nice gunfight with some bad dudes who...

    Defaulting to V-Bulletin style

    OK - I woke up about 14 hours ago and everything on Scubaboard is shoved over to the right hand side of the screen. So after 7 or 9 hours of that, I thought - OK, no one likes the vbulletin style so they're just neglecting fixing it. So I change to "Scubaboard Custom Theme," but every time...

    Remote networking?

    OK - I understand this is totally not scuba related, but there are lots of relatively bright people on this board. :) I own my own PR Agency. It's a boutique, niche firm dedicated to "Defending Good Science" and debunking activist myths. Rather than a central office, we have a few people...

    Thread layout?

    Two quick issues, but before that - congrats on getting back up. I imagine someone didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Anyway, for some reason, the thread is now posting a poster's avatar and info above the text of their message. Then the text of their message starts way over on the far...

    Free Apeks parts in Canada?

    I know if you get a Scubapro reg, you're supposed to get free parts for life as long as you keep it in service. Apeks has matched that offer - but can anyone offer any insight as to whether or not that deal is valid in Canada? It's a "legal" reg purchased in about June at an accredited LDS...

    Meanwhile, in a Parallel universe...

    This may very well be someone's worst nightmare! :)

    Dismantling a SETA mask

    OK - so the Mares SETA is getting a little grungy. I know you can snap this thing apart, dismantle it and give it a good soak, but I can't get the little flangey-type thing across the top off. Does it pull out, or does it pull up? I don't want to force it and it doesn't seem to want to go...

    Well - now I'm famous

    We did a rec-level Cancer Fundraising New Years Dive yesterday. We raised about $5k for the Canadian Cancer Society. As we were leaving the water, a news photographer lent me and my dive buddy an underwater camera to take some photos. Please bear in mind that this also qualifies as proof...

    Sub-Forums in "Forum" field.

    When I click the "New Posts" button, I see the name of the thread, the original poster, the last one to post to that thread, and the "Sub-Forum." But the sub-forum isn't enough information - many sub-forums are simply entitled "Dive-Related" or "Classes" or something. I don't care about...

    What about a hoseless regulator config?

    OK... I've seen a lot of posts saying things like "I like my Air2 because it's one less hose I need" or "I got a hoseless computer because it's less clutter." I've been doing some serious pondering on the ultimate in streamlining, and getting rid of all these nasty hoses. It's redundant...
