    Newbie question about the "waterproof seal/o-ring"

    trick is to pinch the o-ring gently, but not too hard also, gently stretch it along everywhere and look for nicks that you wouldn't normally see otherwise

    oxygen cleaning for nitrox (partial pressure) fills

    the fire triangle merely states fuel, 02, and heat (energy) just how much energy (heat) is required varies, with lots of things, but it's really low when working with pressurized 100% oxygen and some oxygen-unsafe compounds...

    oxygen cleaning for nitrox (partial pressure) fills

    so, DA, what you are saying is that if you pressurize, but very slowly, oxygen into a regulator lubricated with petroleum oil, for example, if you increase the pressure very slowly to avoid any increase in temperature (you're referring to adiabatic processes) that the oxygen will not combust...

    oxygen cleaning for nitrox (partial pressure) fills

    not heat oxygen is not a fuel, it's an oxidizer any presence of fuel (including oils, petrolium products, organics, etc will cause a reaction, in presence of an oxidizer. oxygen is such a good oxidizer that nothing will oxidize oxygen, not even itself, and under pressure, it's an even...

    oxygen cleaning for nitrox (partial pressure) fills

    oxygen clean simply means "will not explode is 02 is run through this equipment" clean inert particulates will not render something "unclean" for 02 use, just dirty most common oils and lubricants will react with 02 under pressure and explode

    Name that reg

    see the ridged plastic ring at the base of the yoke? hold that and twist the yoke to remove it. sometimes they get on there tight, but you should be able to get it without tools..

    Why does a Scubapro Mk7 honk?

    bringing this one back alive, i'll take a stab at it the HP in looks like it engages that pin when pressurized. the pin probably doesn't "push" what you called the oscillator down, but keeps the oscillator from moving (when the HP pressure is what we'll call "full"). once the HP pressure...

    Do I need to buy an expensive Regulator???

    if you don't want to go with one of the scubapro/apeks/etc/etc/etc regs (i, myself, scubapro hawker), look at the oceanic gear. it's very nice, reasonably priced, and they come up with some pretty cool stuff that noone else has.. properly maintained, the cheapest unbalanced piston regulator...

    Scubapro MK17

    i looked at the mk17, and it's pretty sweet it's about a mk16 (which was probably my favorite until the mk17 replaced it) so probably has similar characteristics.. my mk16 compared to a mk25, i really can't tell a signifigant difference, using my pilot, 550 or d400 seconds scubapro zealot...

    How do you attach your octopus to your bc?

    I have a little velcro chingus that ties around the octo and plugs into another little velcro kajigger with a plastic hook on the end. Sometimes you have to tug quite insistintly to get it loose, cetacea makes it

    regulator repair kit

    you'll have problems finding anyone who can even get parts for the older dacor regs, some places may have a few kits they have been hoarding, but you never know mares might have some sort of trade in deal on old dacor regs to get new mares regs, and that new V46 (i think 46?) looks sick as...
