    Who thinks Martha should get busted for insider trading?

    Not that I overly care. There's certainly dirtier people in high finance than her, and you don't see many of them go to the slammer. She's a pitance, the small cherry on top, when they should really be worried about the decay of the cake underneath. White collar crime is, has been, and...

    PADI TecRec

    Mighty fine posts Helmet and Mike. I think you two would agree with way more than you would disagree with. Your work isn't going in vain Mike. Sooner or later relative newbs like us will come across a fellow like yourself and hopefully redirect their thinking. It's funny that I've only...

    Canister Light Battery Upgrade

    unfix8r: If it is designed for SLA's then it would work, but honestly, the thing wasn't design to "charge" batteries for a living, but it's more of a battery "maintainer". How long will it work? Who knows, but it only cost $5.00 :-) Battery chargers are real cheap too. And that's their...

    Canister Light Battery Upgrade

    Ron: No it's not, (burn time) on a halogen. That's my point. Read incave's post above. He summed it up perfectly! NiMH's are a waste of money when driving a halogen bulb, so I'm finding out. I think the best "rating" for an SLA for divelight use, is what's called the RC (Reserve...

    Canister Light Battery Upgrade

    Hey Incave diver, I think we're talking about 2 different things, because I can tell you there's no way a 12V 7Ah battery can support a 40amp draw without dying 2 minutes afterwards. If a 100W bulb is only drawing roughly 8.3 amps, it would be like saying you could use 1 battery to power...

    Canister Light Battery Upgrade

    I've used 2 35W Halogens for video, and it hasn't worked out to badly. It gave about 35-40mins as I recall, of burn time. And was in blacker than black mud-soup. I could have used 2 50W I guess, but it would have been a quick shoot. 2 100W would be a dream! I considered a 2 battery...

    Apex ATX200 vs. ScubaPro MK25/S600

    While I haven't had any prob with the Mk25 down to 33 degrees (When I'm dumb enough to be diving when it's that cold, which ain't too often), It seems many here have indeed had these problems. It bothers me to a point, as it seems this is a potential problem, more so than the Apeks seem to...

    Canister Light Battery Upgrade

    Yeah guys, I kicked this around all last year. I came to the conclusion that the cost/reward wan't even close to being worth it. I stuck with the SLA 12V/7ah. If I did anything it would be what in_cavediver said. It's the way to get good burn time, but the HID ain't cheap either. So I'm...

    GUE/DIR and N2 off-gassing/ascent rate?

    From my understanding, depending on the profile, you could ascend up to 50fpm during the bottom portion of the ascent. Up to approx your first deep stop (I'm talking deco diving), and then from there a slower ascent is advised. This limits your ongassing to a minimum at the deeper depths.

    Deco on the fly

    Incase no-one here will help you............ Go over to TDS and do a search. I have seen it on there. Either that, or ask Doppler about it (Ask on TDS, he's not here often). From my understanding it is with specific mixes.

    Atomic is the best by far!

    Hey girl friend......a 21/35 fill (not quite appropriate, but we're talking $$$$ here! so it'll do...) should be about $46.00---ish. Then there's the deco gas.........yeah $55.00 is about right.
