Folly Cove on Sunday, April 27

The water was a cool 42 degrees. It was a 44 min dive at no deeper than 15 ft, with the last 6 minutes a wild dash to the shore and dry clothing. A second dive would've been possible with warmer sunny weather. However, with temp in low 40 and no sun, there was no way to warm up. Can't wait for the coming weekend

Glad the season up north is finally in gear, Kurt. I was diving 7mm. The insert will stay in forever or until I replace the whole valve. For now I will just use an adapter. It is me spare 3rd tank in case I want to do three dives back to back without stopping by a dive shop for a refill.

Thanks for the generous offer Kurt. I really appreciate it, but for the time being I will keep it the way it is and maybe see what the local shops have to say. The insert does not have much of an octagonal thread anymore after I did my best to un-jamm it Diving again this Saturday. Can't wait! I saw you guys took a trip to Key Largo again. Nice!

NP...be glad to help if I can...may want to try soaking the ENTIRE valve in a 50/50 white vinegar and water mix...heat it up pretty good on the stove..and soak it for 5 minutes...keep in mind white vinegar WILL remove chrome if left for several hrs...but works GREAT for breaking corrosion down. Other best suggestion would be a good ultrasonic cleaning...may do the trick.

Just lemme know if ya want me to take a shot at it...

And yeah..we missed you guys! Woulda been nice to see ya'lls again...maybe cheap Mexico in late Fall?...Puerto Morales?
