After 25 years I have decided to retire from teaching scuba, sell off my gear and quit diving. It has been a great ride but 4,000+ dives are enough and it is time to move on to other interests.
Unless otherwise noted, all gear has been used primarily in fresh water but have seen a few salt water dives as well. I am guessing that most of this gear has been used about 10-15 dives total unless noted. I maintain my gear meticulously and all gear is in good to excellent shape (unless noted otherwise).
Dive Gear
Brok Agir 360 Donut Wing - $300 Like new condition except for the grommet oxidation seen in the photos.
(details here: http://www.aagir-brokk.com/ca91bfd9-383a-47dd-9196-06f27ed7a147-9.html )
Oxycheq stainless steel backplate. HOG rigged. Missing the hip D ring - $90
Set of Billy Rings. Two shoulder D Rings and one Side D ring - $50 for the set of three
Oxycheq backplate pad - $40. Comes with sex bolts to mount it to the Oxycheq backplate.
Custom argon straps - $20. Two argon straps to cinch a 6 cu foot bottle to the backplate. (Whoever designed these straps is a genius. No bungie or clamps needed. Simply insert the bottle and the natural tension of the two straps hold the bottle in place) Alternatively, you can use one strap and a bungie if you want to rig your argon bottle DIR wreck style )
DIR serrated knife - $10. Comes with holster. Small piece has broken off from the handle.
Oxycheq Raider II LED backup lights with clips - $45 apiece. (Best backup lights I have ever owned. I have never had a problem with these lights. I believe some users previously had a problem with the Raider One light. These are not those lights! The Raider IIs have been the most reliable (and brightest!) backup lights I have ever used.)
Scubapro Jet fins. Size XL with XS Scuba spring straps - $100
12W LED light. I had this custom made by Corey when he was at Salvo (now Light Monkey) a few years ago. Primary Lights - Light Monkey Enterprises LLC
This link provides the same specs as this light but I had Corey make it with the on / off switch on the battery pack instead of the twist on light head. The light is perfect for a primary wreck diving light. It makes a great cave light as well. - $550. Includes the charger for the light.
AL6 Argon bottle with DIN valve and regulator (hose needs a new shrader valve) $125 Hydro is 5-08.
Safety flare kit (Buyer beware - not sure if this works or not) includes two flares, signal mirror and whistle - $10
OMS Jonline with Manta Bob line hook - $20
Wet notes - $5 for the plain notebook or $20 for the notebook with Dive Xtras cover. Both have been written in but still have life. Toe tag for body recovery as seen in photo included at no extra charge if you by the Wetnotes with cordura cover!
Salvo regulators (parts can be obtained for these regs pretty easily. They are generic regs and I believe use the same parts as several similar regs that are currently on the market. There should be no issue getting parts for these regs.) Regs are rigged in Hogartian fashion with 7 foot hose, XS Scuba Brass and Glass SPG. They work fine and were serviced last year but probably are due for an overhaul. $475 for both reg setups.
Salvo (now Light Monkey) Pathfinder style reel. In good to like new condition. $95
Jotron strobe light $30 (One of the best safety strobes on the market. I used this one to mark anchor lines, interesting parts of the wreck or hung it on my surface supplied oxygen rig to assist in locating it in murky water)
Two spools. I believe the white one is a 100 footer and the hi viz line is a 150 footer. $15 each or both for $25. Includes the double enders.
OMS signal dyes $20 for both
Home built stage leash - $10
DIN fill adaptor to yoke - $15
Air blower nozzle - $10
Uwatec compass in DSS mount with bungie - $35
Steel dive cylinder. I believe this is a Heiser 104 cubic foot tank. I used it as a supply cylinder to top my rebreather bottle and also as a supply tank for a surface supplied oxygen rig. Specs are here:
Scuba Cylinder Specification Chart from Huron Scuba, Ann Arbor Michigan
$100. Local pick up only on this beast.
DUI CF200X drysuit. Size Large. Includes a Salvo (now Light Monkey) balanced P valve, APEX inlet and outlet valves and two XS Scuba bellows pockets. Suit comes with a condom cath and zipper lubricant tube. Suit is generally in good shape but has seen a lot of action over the years. Not sure how many dives I have on this suit but it is quite a few. There are a few places I have made minor patches fixed using Aquaseal. You can see them in the photos. I replaced the zipper about 3 years ago and had the seals replaced a few years ago by DUI. Both are still going strong. The suit was leaked tested about a year ago and currently does not have any known leaks or problems. It is one of the driest and best drysuits I have owned. I am sorry to see it go. - $900
DUI Thinsulate 200 gram Size Large undergarment. $90
Fluffy fleece socks. Size Large $15

I accept paypal and checks. Items will be held until checks clear. Shipping is additional. If using paypal, add 4% to your order to cover the fees. I am willing to ship international but will need to hold the items until funds clear due to the large amount of cross border fraud currently going on. Email me for details if this is an issue.
Feel free to make offers on any items if you think the prices are out of whack. Priority will be given to the highest bidder though!
All items sold as is. Email with questions or for more photos to sandiegoaes at yahoo dot com. It is best to email me rather than PM on SB since I check this so infrequently.
Also, I may have to switch computers in the next week so I might be slow returning emails / PMs. Please be patient and I will return all messages as soon as possible.
Thanks for looking!
