I myself have several kits that I use based on what I'm doing or were I'm going. Base kit might have 4x4's (I use to carry 2x2's also but a Paramedic friend said why? just cut a 4x4 down), various roller badages,band-aids. minor splinting devices (sam splints are awesome. You can cut them...

Thank you for the update. I'll have to remember that. Are these decent regulators? or would they be better used on a pony bottle?

The primary is adjustable and the octo has a yellow face and also says alpha 7 but is not adjustable. (I didn't take snaps of that one) I agree, I should have put picts of the second stage also. Here you go.

Thanks for the input Rich. It does have a yellow faced 'alpha' regulator attached to it, but the front writing is worn. So I can't get anything else off of it (it doesn't have the word 'delta' on the top) The primary is clearly marked as an Alpha 7 and words 'delta' on the top if it. Mark

Could a Oceanic rep id this reg? I recently came across this regulator setup and was curious as to the model number and what time period it was manufactured, and any other info you might have. The Second stage that was a attached was labeled as a Oceanic Alpha 7 and the words 'delta' on...

If you haven't done anything with the hard drive that crashed and it wasn't a mechanical failure, there are several open source applications that you might be able to run against the drive and recover your data. Just a thought Mark

When I was diving a traditional BC I would just throw it in one of the pockets, I never opened them during the dive so it was both secure and able to get the 'correct' water temp. I have since switched to a BP/W and not secure it with a quick link on the plate even with heart/lungs. It's out...

I ended up purchasing 4 of them and like everybody said in that post from last month, the quality was good and appear they will hold up for sometime to come. I purchased mine from Dive Sports. XS Scuba Dive Equipment - XSScuba Dive Accessories - XS Scuba Diving Free shipping and handling...

If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say it could be a Thermo. I think the suggestion of taking it apart, laying it out and taking pictures is not a bad idea at all. Thanks for all the help/suggestions. Mark

Honestly I have not. It has been one of those things were I noticed it was low once and said I'd worry about it later. The only reason I'm thinking about it now is I might use the tank as source of air for the dry suit and that really is only a maybe. I might have a fill put in it and...

Hi Louis, Yeah I agree with your statements. It's funny how one or two companies make everything and then just rebrand them. LOL I look more closely at the valve tonight and maybe do some touch up work on the photo to make it look better. Didn't look to bad on the home system but here...

Yeah tore apart an old one about a year ago. Doesn't look like it's a big deal at all. My biggest problem is figuring out who made this valve so I can get the correct parts.

Hi folks, I've got a valve on a 13cuf pony bottle that I think is in need of rebuild. Tank was filled at one point last year and when I checked it this year it was almost empty. Since I've never used it I know it wasn't used and I just forgot to refill it. Since I purchased this used...

Cool, even the individual priced pouches are not that bad price wise. I might get a couple and do the same thing you did (multiple setups). I did some more surfing last night and noticed that the also make some larger pouches to put on 2" web belts. Again very reasonably priced, so instead...

Thanks everybody. 9 positive responses and no negatives. That's saying something I think. Off to order a couple weight pouches. Mark

Anybody up here use the XS SCUBA weight pouches? at $9 each they sure do beat the Dive Rite / OMS pockets that run about twice that price. Looking to see if they are of decent quality that will stand up to at least a couple years of service. Mark

Thanks sandmanz32!!

Hello everybody, I think a group of us are finally going to be heading down to Lake Jocassee in two weeks to do our check out dives for the Advanced Nitrox / Deco Procedures course. Is it possible to reach 150' off the boat dock? Leah, you going to be out there by any chance on August...

Yeah no backup's for a month is kind of sad. Then the site being down for a solid week with nothing informative as to why being posted? Not good customer relations folks. Every once in awhile I sit back and say I should donate some cash to the cause but when this kind of thing happens I...
