mk10 are pretty old (age of the material), and i'd quote the risks of damages should the reg be connected to 300bar as not insignificant. the issue is you wont do it, but murphy's law says someone else will... eric

you're right, it is $50... i really find the value I got out of the book much higher than its price... i am now servicing my own regs for the past 5yrs, and - i really saved some $ - and it only takes me a couple of hours to service a complete rig, instead of waiting x number of weeks at some...

dont forget SCUBA REGULATOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR by Vance Harlow worth the $20 or so ! just fixed my second stage that was leaking, took me 1hr, saved me $80 !

any idea as hpw to do a usb interface for suunto ? serial is getting hard to find on many pcs ! eric

go to DeepSouthDivers.org , Once there, go to "Talk" then "Equipment" and then "Regulators - loads of stuff there....

I get my o-rings there: http://www.air-oil.com/oringsonlinefset.htm prices are really good. you may also want to check ness: http://www.northeastscubasupply.com/cat_misc_o_rings.html As to the duro, I cant really help, sorry... eric

I am actually waiting for the day when manufacturers, for this same reason, will claim that you should use their regs for display at home, but not for actual diving.... eric

I also heard Vessel - If I remember well, that is used in the PSI inspection book. eric

I used some PVC pipe instead of foam (similar diameter). Better resistance than foam. eric

would you have some more reference regarding this syndrome ? I'd be quite interested. I've googled it, but nothing really came out (or too much...) eric

hi got an issue with my analyzer that gave funky readings. I live in jamaica, so not easy to ship back & forth. I called them, based on the serial number (no need for the invoice that I had lost anyway...), they assessed the unit was 15 months old, and proposed a replacement of the sensor for...

as someone said, 80cf refers to the gas contained in the cylinder at the working pressure, once brought to a pressure of 1bar. 1cf = 28.31685 liters so 80cf=2265 liters, at 200 bars usually in europe, you'd have the same capacity with a tank of 11.325 liters filled at 200bars. tanks are...

your reg will not be exposed to 100% o2, not the yoke anyway. if you are to dive high nitrox or use the reg on 100% o2 deco, then other procdedures apply. No risk in putting silicone grease on the yoke threads in any case - apart from trapping dust/sand in case of excess. eric

That was too tempting... What you can do: - unscrew the yoke, and soak it in vinegar for 5-10 minutes - try to avoid putting the plastic in it, not needed. Can use an old toothbrush - clean the threads on the clamp the same way, but there, be extremely careful not to splash the air intake...

put a hose in the mouthpiece, and rinse, this will have the same effect. no manufacturer recommends to dismantle the 2nd stage to rinse !!! I would suggest to your friend to actually throw away his reg after each use, as it's been infected with awful salt water. I can give him the location of...

yes. eric

no specific markings required when breathing air in France - regular tank markings (working pressure, hydro, etc...), there are no VIP stickers (tanks must be hydroed every year unless owned by a FFESSM club/member, in which case VIP is logged at club level, not on the tank itself). e

main difference between o2 and non-o2 cleaning is that the cleaning agent is o2 compatible in case there are some traces left, the o-rings are specific (viton/epdm), and the grease must be o2 compatible (though scubapro for instance requires the o2 compatible grease to be used, o2 clean or not)...

this is the intro, and doesnt give you much - you cant get a fill from a shop, have to have indirect supervision... Successful completion of DISCOVER Enriched Air NITROX will allow you to dive with enriched air blends with up to 32 percent oxygen. You'll be able make enriched air dives within...

Excellent question - per PSI 'inspecting cylinders' book, p51, "Luxfer Gas Cylinders announced in Feb 2000 that eddy current examination is not recommended on its propietary 6061 alloy cylinders" So why the VIP+ ??? Also, did the tank come with a green cap... these ones mean that the tank...
