The black Dacor should be a 360 Aero. I bought one like it in 1985. As posted above, it may cause you some problems when you service them. Budgets are important. Quality life support gear should take the front seat over budgets. Save longer and get new gear, or find used regs that bench test...

I carry a 30 cu ft pony on every dive. I practice with it (typically on my last dive of the day or a weekend), so if I ever had the need to use my emergency gas, it's second nature to me. But that 30 is never factored into my backgas or my diveplan. IMHO, a pony is an asset that would never make...

This is pretty cool. So what does the winner say to Buzz when you guys are ready to do your entry off the back of the boat? Maybe something like "C'mon Buzz....it's just one small step." I hope the winner of the auction will post on SB after they are finished the adventure.

James: It sounds like you got it in theroy, which is good. I only dive doubles. All my sets have Isolator Valves and Manifolds. You can though, as was mentioned, dive independent regs on both bottles. I don't like this for me, but some do. If does give you some redundancy. Remember, if you...

Sorry Jeff: Normally I'm at Dutch every weekend that we are not diving out of state. But this weekend is slated as 'Family Time.' We all have to do it once in a while. I can't complain, I've been out every weekend since Dutch opened in early April, without a lot of flak, so I better just lay...

That would be a great sell for the anchor. Fuel for the boat!

Your video looked good. Yeah, it's a little bouncy, since it's your Video Mask, but it was cool. The seas looked great, and truely 'Lake Atlantic.' Got to take advantage of these days. Nice bugs, but if they were eggers, what can you do. How was the trigger fish? I've shot it in NC, and I...

Well? did you get the well built bleach blond's number? You didn't buy all that cool new gear just to go Scuba Diving, did you? Nice post...I should be peeing in my wetsuit...but I don't do that! Safe diving to you.

I think you got some very good and important advice to your OP. Just to expand on 'the boat ladder.' In calm seas, it's no problem coming up the ladder. Normally (99-44/100%) the mate(s) will help you remove your fins, and you can go to your spot on the boat. Cake. On rough days, be very...

Like yourself, I eat meat and fish. As I stated in my original post, we are very selective in what we spear. Nothing illegal, nothing over the creel limit. It's true that I have seen rod and reel fisherman kill a dogfish, since they are taking the bait that they are fishing with for flounder, or...

Believe what you want, but I believe your opinions are wrong. Collectively, recreational fishing will not even come close to the impact of the fleets of commercial fishing 'processing plants' that sail the oceans. They throw back more "trash" fish than we can ever catch, let alone harvest...

Look at Riffe guns and get an idea about equipment. Go to the other sites listed in the posts above. Plenty of spearfishing divers will help you get started. We started with pole spears for a few years, then moved to guns. There are many quality guns out there, but Riffe is my favorite. Good...

We take only fish that are legal, in size and in season. Purely for personal consumtion only. Our group would never break a rule of size and creel limit. I firmly agree with Erku. Just watch one film on the effects of commercial fisherman or whalers (that I am appaled about), and the extreme...

Sorry, I looked through all my files. I don't have one that illustrates the set up I want to show you. A picture is worth a thousands words, but I will try to explain it to you without being to long winded: 1). My right post on my islolation valve has a ScubaPro MK25 first stage. My second...

Well, we all have our right to our opinions. If this is your's, that's cool. But in 1500+ dives, and the very well maintained, high quality regulators that I use, I have never had a failure of my systems. Nit picky, maybe, but as I mentioned, your opinion is your choice, and it is good to be...

I mount my primary first stage on my right hand post with my primary second stage regulator on that first stage side. My octopus is mounted on the other left hand side of my isolation valve on every set of doubles I own (I don't dive single tanks). Then I sling a 30 cu. ft. pony bottle as...

Howdy Cowboy Diver: I'm out of the Philly area, but dive in Morehead City, NC every chance I get. The best diving in the world for great wrecks and excellent spearfishing. I hope to see you there sometime. Welcome to Scubaboard!

Years ago, we mounted on the inside of our calf so if we had to drop our weight belt, it wouldn't snag. It's all different with weight intergration BC's and the like. It's also a sang hazzard while swimming around the dive site. Safe diving to you.

+1 for ScoftScrub. Wash the inside of the mask and rinse well. Then use toothpaste to make it smell good. It will work. Safe diving to you.
