diy

Hi all, I wish to service my own regulators as I live in the Middle East I find I have to clean & replace the Christo lube on the second stages a little more often (3 - 6 months) than recommended manufactures instructions. I'm guessing the heat is the problem. I am manually using a nylon...

I've seen this posted in the past but nothing new for a while... I came up with something works really well and costs around £10 ($13) each (less if you make 4 or more). I used Floplast Solvent Weld waste pipe to create sealed tubes. The materials are available at B&Q (in the UK) or probably...

Short back story: I bought this Oceanic DataTrans GDI2 a few years ago right before I moved to Oregon and I never got to use it up there. Then I found my way back to Texas and decided to dust off the old gear. Got it all serviced except for the watch and transmitter but I changed the battery in...

i saw on the internet that more people use diy snoot for nice macro pictures. I'm just wondering if it works to make snoot with LED torches instead of strobe?

I have an ikelite housing for an older canon 350d I'm learning on. The button that engages the av button isn't engaging the button on the camera, so I'm not able to use manual mode. Is there a way to adjust the part that sets the engagement for the shaft so that it engages the button on the...

Hello, Please excuse that this is my first post, I’ve been lurking for several months now. I got into diving a couple years ago and have been enjoying taking video with a GoPro and some small lights. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my rig and as an engineer decided that a fun project would be to...

I have a wetnote i hate the thin sheets of synthetic paper, it stick to much togeather and they break to easy, plus i wont need 25 pages. so was hoping someone know of something simular to the slates in material, surface, and thickness as the PADI Slates. as i like the 0.5mm thickness and 8-10...

Dear experts, I started two years ago servicing my own Dacor regs as many shops refused to service them (too old; no parts). I started with the seconds as all tests were fine for the first stage. This week I did a complete overhaul of first (balanced diaphragm similar to Dacor D16) and seconds...

So I just recently got my PAID drysuit training, and I notice a problem with the DUI suits plus a Weezle. When you get in the water at the surface, you put your arms down with your left shoulder at the highest point, to vent the air out the drysuit exhaust valve. Once properly weighted, you...

This came up in another thread and really sparked my interest. Backplate and Pack | Deep-Sea Sherpa Has anyone made one of these? It looks pretty simple. Just some kind of appropriately sized bag with a few corresponding grommet holes, add some assembly screws, and a detachable crotch...

Does anyone happen know if there is a red (or other color) filter that will fit on the SJ7000? So far the ones I've tried were too small. The black, screwed-on square around the lens on the housing is about 39 mm X 39 mm. As far as I can tell the Hero 3, Hero3+, and the Hero 4 filters won't...

I do not desire to do anything really stupid, so I want to post this question. I am aware that there will be some that just say no to anything related to this subject and those are not the people I am searching out. I am hoping to get respectful responses with fact based informed answers to the...

I'd been getting my Galileo Luna transmitter batteries from my scubapro dealer because it was an oddball battery that I couldn't readily find anywhere else (including internet). Most recently when I went for batteries, they used a different battery than they had been using. They assured me...

Finished a mod of my DS161 strobes to use on my Philippines trip in two months. I wasn't completely happy with the color produced by a normal flash as it's more washed out and not quite as "natural" as I'd like. To solve I tested a low, medium, and dark blue plexiglass on an aquarium. My...

Hallo All I recently renewed my battery packs of my 2 niteriders and took the opportunity to add new LED bulbs. However the new leds don't produce a lot of light ( 2x 2.5W bulbs type MR11). I was thinking to put in 2x 10w diy led modules. Question is that I don't know to handle the heat. The...
