There is a group called the California Back Pack Divers,type that in your search engine and it should come up.As for me it's the only way I like to dive or spearfish that is.Most commercial spearfisherman I know dive w/just a back pack,so it can't be all that dangerous as I have been told it is...

Yea,faster than your buddy and where is Vic Hislop when you need him? Ray

Thanks Walter, It is illegal in FL.state waters,you have to be in international waters.Your warning is well taken as you may lose all your gear and alot of money,no fun in that!I will follow all the related laws covering this,it's the only way. Ray

Ok Rick next chance I get I will repent for my evil thoughts,to the spear god:)All I wanted to know was if anybody had removed the spring on a powerhead.I value your knowledge and wisdom in all things diving so lets just agree to disagree and leave it at that. Thanks Ray

Rick,I agree,it does ruin alot of meat unless its a head shot but then I not using a 12 ga shell either!Using a powerhead is effective only on certain angles(like head on or broadside)a paralizer can cover the rest,As for cheating,whats the difference between putting a spear into a fish than a...

Why not? Ray

Thanks Rick. Walter,I haven't used mine yet,but plan to on my next trip. Thanks Ray

Bob, thats what I'm thinking(premature detonation)of course,my wife accused me of this before ha ha :)I've handloaded some low power .38 special and some monster .357 mag.that will be used depending on the application but I sure dont want it going off on release of the shaft!I didnt think...

Rick,did you make the powerhead yourself? Ray

Rick,yes thats the one and it doe's sound dangerous.I guess the only reason for this would be to decrease senitivity on contact,the guy I was refering to made a point of making sure there was no resistance when it would slide back and forth ,anyway he hed alot more experience than me. Tom...

Has anyone here removed the firing pin retaining spring from a powerhead.I've seen this done by some commercial guy's but didn't pay much attention to it untill now,I got one(.357).Thought's anyone. Ray

Kid, "S" is the Linde Gasses designator for a 125 cf cylinder,they may vary a little in size,depends on mfg.and date.Here in Jacksonville FL they will lease a 337 for approx $50 a yr.and 20 to 25 for the product.2015 psi for the 125 and 2400 psi for the 337 plus 10% of course.Check another...

LOL,I would pay to see that,c'mon all the storms have passed,and we can dive in the mudhole off Jacksonville we call the Atlantic Ocean.Montyb and I have 1 of the cylinders each and we are looking for more but they are very hard to find.It looks like he beat me to the punch(to see if you would...

MONTY,If you can't get it,let me know!! Ray

Creed,What's the part #

Sounds good to me 8431,but everybody I talk to has a different opinion that includes the guy's doing the retesting.I have found cylinders manufactured as long ago as 1917 that received a + for a couple times after WW2 and then no + for a while and then it it starts back up later.I guess it...

FrankT,I believe you may be talking about 1800 psi cylinders but not sure,in any case I noticed that our retester does'nt + stamp them and they did'nt come from the Mfg with it either,I'll ask him when he comes up later this week.

Thanks Creed it does help,The one I have starts with #48 it must be a XIV,but I can't read the writing on the screw.

I've got three Conshelf reg and love em all,an SE2,XIV and one thats been bugging me for a while.I got it from Taylor diving (commercial outfit) out of Taft, LA. going out of business sale,it was most likely used on a bailout bottle as is the standard.The question I have is has anybody seen a...

Wedivebc, I have one too and love but can,t find another one anywhere.I believe it was made for Sherwood back in the 70's,its only a 95 if you pump it to 3300 psig which should'nt be a problem.I'll try and find the chart with all the specs. Diverlink.com list it near the bottom of the tank...
