I've seen two products that use a silicon base. Trident makes one, and I don't know the manufactuer of a product called "Fog Off." The second product says to apply it (to a dry surface?) and buff until clear. It reminds me of the instructions for the Rain-ex product. Not that I'd want to put...

I made a couple out of copper tube, of the type used for household water supply. I used 3/4 inch tube about 6 inches long. I sweat soldered caps to seal 'em up, and they seem to hold the water out OK. I tried two different noise makers. In one tube I put a 2 inch-long piece of 5/16...

GoJu said: "The weights I am using now are made from the lead taken out of vehicle batteries." Seems like I remember, but I can't quote the source (perhaps another thread on this forum), that vehicle batteries' lead alloy includes cadmium. Cadmium is supposed to be toxic. Just a thought with...

I was working with 2 students on the platform today, and saw a hungry 'gill moving around the left side of my head. I chased him away, and later asked the students if my little fish buddy was in hunting mode. They thought so. "Then why didn't you warn me or wave him off?" "We would have if...

Generally I use hours and minutes in the hh:mm type format for most everything. I keep my cumulative bottom time in the same format. Since I am a heavy breather I don't, as a rule, have many dives where my bottom time excedes an hour. It is a bit confusing that the PADI tables list bottom...

I flew Delta's flight 1551 to Roatan a few weeks ago. It arrived as scheduled at 1:35 p.m. local time. It worked out pretty well...except that the Continetal flight from Houston seems to arrive at the same time. WAY too much baggage and customs work for that little airport. Be calm, enjoy...

I forgot to mention that. The bluberry was excellent. Also, I liked the coffee flavored ice cream very much. The desserts were not particularly varried, but all were tasty...I tried 'em all. Russ, don't worry about bringing too much stuff. I got a couple of no-see-um bites, and no...

Just back from Fantasy Island Beach Resort. An excellent week to be gone and miss tornados, snow flurries and rain back home. FIBR, pretty much lived up to its reviews here on the board. My personal evaluation: Diving—pretty good. Reefs were in nice shape, except for the swim...

My local hobby store stocks several sizes of silicon tubing used for model plane fuel lines. Silicon may last better than latex surgical tube. Just a thought.:06: KYDan

Actually I dove the iron furnace at Cave Run last September. Actually didn't find the furnace, but the other pair of divers I was with did. They also found a 28# Danforth type anchor...I found a flyswatter. There are also supposed to be some house sites and stuff, but J Reef said it best...

:D My first time to Roatan. Heading for Fantasy Island. Can't wait!

Geeze, I've always wanted to use that as a subject line. :D Actually some folks spit just doesn't get the defog job done. Mine works great, but my wife's doesn't. If she forgets her defog, I have to spit in her mask. We're close, but she doesn't care for being that close. Mostly she...

I've used the original model "Fishin' Buddy" I borrowed from a friend about 5 years ago. As I remember Cabella's was the source for his. I'm suspecting the models have been "improved" since then, and I don't know any specs on the unit I borrowed. It ran on "C" batteries. I was not into...

Not a direct reply to your question, but... Have you considered replacing the velcro? It might be an easily located local resource. KYDan

...for the kind replys, Greg and Azza. We're off on the 21st with our respective mothers-in-lawto pick up the cruise liner in Sidney. We'll cruise our way down the AZ coast and then to the south island of NZ, around and then north. We plan to visit with our friends in Christchurch then...

If I ever get a chance to spend more time in the S Pacific I'd like it to be there. Of course with the "Bush-whacking" of the US$ it ain't the value it used to be. Still the island is beautiful and the people are friendly. We were able to only spend a few hours there, however. We cruised...

Yes, that would be a prime choice, as well. I'm currently looking into converting one of our "days at sea" into a day on the land. A much better way to get to know the area, and the people. I'm not sure if I can work out the logistics of travel from one port to another and making the liner's...

In some of the older threads on the SB, there seemed to be some animosity toward posters who made mention of any goods or services from which they might have a financial interest. In my earlier post, I asked operators to contact me by PM—to avoid nice folks getting hammered. I’m not trolling...

We'll be escorting the moms-in-law on a cruise of Austrialia and New Zealand over the upcoming Christmas / New Year's holiday. :christmas Not our idea of an ideal diving vacation, but it is a good way for us to travel with the gals. We do hope to get wet, if possible. Our ports of call are...

I ran out of log pages and remembered this thread. Did a search and looked at all the neat submissions. What a GREAT bunch of ideas. :dazzler1: Here is my take on the project. I liberally "borrowed" parts of pages I liked and made my own version. My complaint with the 5.5 x 8" small-page...
