Cylinders are sold, thanks for all the inquiries.

Agreed, they do seem much longer than a typical AL80, but the odd thing is that they aren't much taller really. I was amazed when I set them beside an old Luxfer AL80 that they were not much larger. No doubts that they are heavier by about 10lbs though. Still, even if steel tanks are...

Consider yourself lucky. I and our dive team as a whole have resolved to inform as many divers as possible of the very negative experience we have had Uwatec thus far. We purchased 8 Suunto Cobra dive computers, as well as 8 Black Diamond BCDs, 8 AquaLung Legend regs, etc. That was in 2006...

I am trying to find replacement bulbs for this light as it is amazing underwater and I would like to keep diving with it. It currently has an 80watt bulb in it. I know that it can be equipped with 65watt and 100watt bulbs depending on length of battery and brightness you are looking for. The...

Divemasters get paid? Seriously, c-monkey, you have found a pretty sweet gig with those perks.

On behalf of the Green Hills YMCA SCUBA staff allow me to welcome you to the single best place to gather information on SCUBA related issues. Don't forget to contribute any information you think might beneifit new (or old) divers who stumble across the scubaboard in their search for SCUBA sites.

Don't really have anything I dont use....too poor to buy gear unless I am absolutely positive I will use it and it isn't junk.

If you are really looking for an instructor and cerification agency around Nashville that goes above and beyond typical standards, I have to recommend either a NAUI or YMCA instructor such as David Cain, Jerri Burch, or Mike Nunley. I don't want to start a flaming thread here, but from...

I had planned to run down to RockDiver's in the next couple of days, but I think now I'll just skip the long drive and got to Martha's Quarry. Appreciate the heads-up on current conditions.

The amount of knowledge here that would be typically classified as trivia, but is useful information for me, never ceases to amaze me.

Finally picked up my pony bottle and looked at the crown markings. Well it appears that Dacor did market cylinders made by Catalina, assuming LUBOLD8431 is correct that M4002 is Catalina's mfg code. It is clearly stamped right into the crown of my pony bottle. So not all Dacor cylinders...

Thanks for all the info guys. I am going to pass on that Super80 for sure. As far as my pony bottle goes, well as soon as I get it back from getting the VIP, I'll check it out and confirm it is a Luxfer. Not so much that it matters to me as I am going to continue to use it, but more out...

I am not buying the Super80 for certain. Dont want to deal with a cracking cylinder. Concerning my pony bottle, the warning sticker is still on it that warns you about all the dangers that come with cylinders and it says Catalina Cylinder. However, I dropped it off to the VIP done on it so I...

That is exactly what I needed to know. Only one thing that I have a question about now. I have a pony bottle that is a Dacor and it is a Catalina cylinder. It has clear markings that say it was manufactured by Catalina in '87. It doesnt ever have over 2000psi in it so I am not worried...

I have several questions concerning Dacor SCUBA cylinders. Specifically the Super80 series they made. 1) Have all Dacor brand tanks been manufactured by Catalina? 2) Are there any known issues with these Super80 cylinders? 3) Why do I see so few of them? 4) What should I expect...

Is there a resource that has jobs in the diving industry consolidated into a single place? I am looking to move to a more coastal ( it doesnt get much less coastal than here ) region and would like to move into a diving related field. I don't necessarily have to be diving everyday, but doing...

I dont think it made anyone's top pick, but I really have to say my hard-soled boots are one of my most depended on pieces of gear. Not being anywhere near an ocean, we do lots of quarry diving. I had to hike through a fairly large quarry and down the road one time with a buddy on all this...

My "SO" may be a diver, but she doesnt get having more than one BCD, reg, set of flippers, etc. She has her rig and that's all she wants. She'll replace something if it tears up, but I like to have gear to fit the diving I'll be doing. Fortunately, she like to buy shoes so I always have...

You'll have to let us know how it is working on a cruise ship in that capacity. I had thought of doing that myself a long time ago, but couldn't get a bearing on it from someone who had actually done it. Keep us posted.
