    Gluing a wetsuit. .

    Not sure about the stitching, but I use aqua-seal to patch my suit. I have a Pinnacle wetsuit, and the seams are starting to separate. I specifically use a product by McNett called Seal Cement. Just follow the directions and you have a nice secure seal.

    Beware of Leisure Pro - bad experience buying a regulator

    I've refused to shop at leisurepro ever since they made it clear that they don't think a 3 month delay warrants more than a 'your item is on back order, but we're expecting it soon, and will send it out ASAP'(paraphrasing). I believe a 3 month delay is worthy of 'the item you ordered from our...

    Aluminum vs Steel & why?

    Steel Tanks are more negatively buoyant, so you can take some lead off the belt. The only thing is, if you are a warm water diver, you might not even be wearing the ~6 lbs it allows you to drop. A steel tank will cost more than an aluminum. You will notice with steels that you get more gas in...

    Indian Army looking to procure diver propulsion vehicles

    Pfffssss....have you seen the Bladefish press releases? The Bladefish can carry a fully geared up woolly mammoth with doubles and stages a distance of 600 miles at 5 mph, right? What's recreational about that? I defy you to find a more powerful scooter ;-) I heard it can even mow the lawn...

    Hull Cleaning South FL.

    I actually just recently closed down the hull cleaning part of my business. Hull cleaning goes for around $1-1.25/ft around here. At that price, there is little room for undercutting. Also, as fstbttms stated, people with boats already have someone cleaning their boats. Many boat owners have had...

    Size? Price? Length of use? Anything remarkable about the Ranger itself?

    looking to buy used tank

    That's a fair enough deal. I'm not sure of the market around you, but I can buy a new AL80 for $150. If I were you, I would spend the extra $30 to get a new tank. However, they might be a little more costly in your area. All in all, $120 isn't a ripoff.

    Late Response to Bubbletrubble

    ummmm...silly question, but why even bother to respond to someone more than a year later in a completely unrelated thread? If you really are just replying, then you can do that in the thread. 15 months just seems like a long time to craft a response.

    When to make the transition

    I usually tend toward more boot-campy types of instructors in my life(My OW and Nitrox, my senseis...), but, for cave diving, I think it would be best to have a more supportive type of instructor. The last thing I want is to get beat up by an instructor on a skill to the point that I don't want...

    NAUI error in Scuba Diver Manual?

    The question phrases it as a difference in terms of multiples, not as a pure difference. You are correct, the difference is four atm, however 5 ata IS 5 times greater than 1 ata.

    When to make the transition

    Thank you all for the helpful input. I feel the caves calling, and I'm eager to get into cave diving. I think I will focus on progressing in my Open Water skills before fully making the switch. However, even with that in mind, I would like to find a cavern instructor and do an intro course, in...

    Is ArmorAll okay to put on Jet Fins?

    Oh no! That was a joke without a smiley following it!! How would we ever know that was a joke? Quick, get Bob and Tim, the joke police of the board! This is a serious emergency. (I will attach a smiley for those of you that need an emoticon to identify jokes) :joke:;):D

    difference between deep diver and aow

    Wow...Tim, Bob, from now on, I will make sure that all of my posts meet your exacting standards. I will make sure that they are completely devoid of humor, because lord knows I wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that anyone on Scubaboard has a sense of humor. Please don't try to tell me that a...

    difference between deep diver and aow

    Bob.... it was a joke. Lighten the hell up. ;-) I'm ignorant, and you can't take a joke without getting riled up. Agreed? Ok, let's move on....

    Yes, if you are talking about PADI, you can rest assured that it is just another way to get your money.
