I would love to have a good relationship with a local shop. My local shop charges list price for everything. He will never give me a break on anything even though I purchased a lot of gear and all of my training from him. I bought 2 LP95 steel tanks for a little under $800 and asked if they...

I had really good experiences with Scuba Toys and really bad experiences with Liesure Pro.

I had a very bad experience with LeisurePro. I work in NYC and went into their shop to purchase the majority of my equipment when I first started diving. I spent nearly 4K in one shot. I had everything shipped to my house on Long Island because I could not carry everything on public...

I stand corrected about their kill rate but stand by the fact that they have the grievous responsibility to kill homeless domestic animals in a painless way. You do realize that the reason they end up at PETA is because of people who purchase animals and then get tired of them shortly...

If you were serious about the genetically altered crops question... I believe that they should have to be labeled as such leaving it to the consumers discretion whether or not to purchase them.

I doubt that PETA killed 90% of the animals in their care in 2005. If this is true please post your source for this info. If it is the case than it was the lesser of two evils. I would rather see animals at a shelter killed humanely than to starve, be tortured or spend their lives living in...

I stated that I am not a hypocrite as the usual response would be to ask if I eat hamburgers or have a leather jacket and equate that as being hypocritical. The point is that I just stated that not everyone agrees that the people at PETA are nuts. I did not try to force anything on anyone...

Who is trying to force anything other than the OP when he referred to them as "nuts"? I just pointed out that there is another side to consider. Think before you speak....

Not everyone agrees that you have a right to torture a living animal by spearing it with an arrow and then dragging it around until it eventually dies. Yes, I am a vegan and not a hypocrite.

I think the issue is that a snorkel is a snorkel. It may be hard to validate a snorkel costing $45.

I purchased the majority of my gear online and began diving before getting certified. When I decided to get certified I went to a few shops and started to work with one. I did my OW and Nitrox courses along with my girlfriend and brother. I bought about $1000 of stuff for my girl and a...

I had a terrible experience with scuba pro. I actually purchased everything in their store in NYC because I work in the city. I take a commuter train home and could not take all of the equipment home and had it shipped. Also a lot of the items were not available in their store. They shipped...

To all of you who replied with constructive answers I appreciate it. Some of you really crack me up. You act like I am a criminal for not wanting to use a 19 cu ft tank instead of a 13 cu ft tank. What is 6 cu ft? It is the amount that a 'spare air' holds that you love to rip apart when...

Thanks for not charging me for that advice.

I can ascend at a slow pace without a line. I would get 9 minutes with a 13 Cu Ft which would easily allow me to swim to the line and ascend with a safety stop and cut my way out of fishing line if the perfect storm caused me to run out of air while getting tangled up. I would not care if it...

I understand that o rings are cheap and easy to replace but if it blows at a hundred feet I would no longer have a redundant system. It seems to me that a one piece first stage would be more reliable

If you see the add on the left of the screen for the amphibious fins they show a public safety diver that has a red 13 CuFt nicely slung pony on the lower D rings of his BC. It just seems to be out of the way

Aquamaster I am not too familier with integrated tank valves. I just came across the zeagle razor and figured it would be less complicated as it is one solid piece and eliminates the possibility of blowing an o ring on the K valve which from what I read is the one of the most common issues...

I understand your reasoning but I know I would never us a pony if it was that big and bulky. I figure a 13 will easily get me up from 100ft if my main tank malfunctions with a safety stop. That is my biggest concern diving without a completely redundant system. I also have a good buddy so it...

Hello, This is one of my my first posts but I have been following the board for a few months. I live on Long Island NY and mainly do wreck diving. I want to start using a pony setup just in case anything goes wrong. We dive in water as low as 36 degrees in the winter. I would like a 13...
