Does anyone else dive with an Apollo drysuit? My boots are falling apart and the kneepad is starting to go. I contacted the listed repair store in Seattle, WA, just waiting to see if they can fix it. I was using some adhesive to try to keep the bit together and just ordered some more drysuit...

I found a pinhole leak in my drysuit today that has bedeviled me for a couple of very cold months now. I’ve been getting very cold water in at the crotch. I have been messing with (and falsely maligning) the P-valve I installed two months ago. Seemed logical. But didn’t help. So today I...

So, with GUE Fundies next week, it's time to add major new gear to my configuration. Sounds smart, right? (About as smart as buying brand new shoes right before a marathon...) My instructor recommended for best use of class time that I either have a P-valve or a diaper. I decided for the...

So here's a question/situation that I hope I will get some insight to: I just left my LDS and picked up my newly serviced reg (Aqualung Legend). You know, the same LDS I had my reg serviced at one year ago. I got it back the same as I always do. They give you the little read out with that...

I have a Zeagle Ranger that I took for a test dive before a trip. Noticed leaking inflator and took it to the shop. They then discovered the plastic hose connector where the corrugated inflator hose attaches to the bladder was cracked and actually came off. They said I need a new bladder since...

Hi I'm new to this group and this is my 1st time posting. Yesterday I went on my 1st dive from Lake Michigan with the Air2, but the sand really did a number on my regulator/inflator. Now every time I push the purge button in, if an air tank is attached it does not stop purging. It basically...

Hello! I just bought several SRB5300. Of course, every one of them has problems with the dry air bleed. The reason why I bought them was because this model has the laser-drilled flow control unit, which according to the manual can be cleaned! So, I take them all apart. Sure enough, they all...

***SOLD*** 2, not functioning Cochran EMC-20h dive computers. One black, one yellow. No wrist straps. Each bungee mounted. Both just stopped working. If not for parts, maybe you'll know how to get them working. They were never flooded, just stopped working. Sold as is. Free shipping. $50...

Hi all, recently bought my first canister light, just to try out the feeling of one. However, there seems to be an issue with the cord, since I bought it second hand. The light only lights up when I position the cord (battery side) in a certain way. Was thinking whether it's possible for me to...

Hi everyone! I have a Nikon Nikonos V that I adore! Sadly, one of the shutter courtains has just broken and I don't know who might be still repairing this cameras. I would love to know if some of you know of any shop or person who still does it.. I live in Europe but I would not mind sending it...

Hello, Can anyone point me to some resources on how / where to obtain a higher level of training for regulator repair and maintenance? I am not looking to pursue a career in this, but I'd still like to have the knowledge. We used to have an instructor locally who ran a course for DM's on how...

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 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...

Well, my esteemed LDS broke the knob off my my scuba tank (it has a Genesis valve on it) and no, they did not offer to fix it. So, simple simple, I order a new knob and replace it right? Oh, you would think so! The screw and square attachment point for the knob on a Genesis tank valve is just a...

I just opened up my Uwatec Swiss Alladin Pro (Model 1992) dive computer for the first time (yup, took almost a quarter century, I guess thats what they call Swiss quality). One of the cables leading to the battery compartment broke off and I wanted to see if I can replace it. I found the...
