    New vs Old Style Zeagle Ranger?

    Thanks for all the replies guys! Yeah, this one looks brand new and has the cummerbund on it. I do see 4 d-rings - two up high and 2 down low. Here's the link to it: ZEAGLE RANGER BCD - eBay (item 160239146935 end time May-12-08 14:58:17 PDT) But from the sound of it, I didn't do too bad...

    New vs Old Style Zeagle Ranger?

    So I asked this question in my previous thread but didn't get a response because it was kinda buried toward the end. I won what looks to be the older style Ranger with the Octopus instead of the power inflater. Sounds like I can just replace the octo w/ the power inflater for about $40 but I'm...

    Wow - check out my bargain!!

    How much was the power inflater? This guy offers a return policy, so I imagine if I wanted to return it since it's the older style that I could. Are there other differences between the new and the old, because I don't have a problem buying a new one if it's going to be better / more convenient...

    Wow - check out my bargain!!

    So I've been planning on getting a Zeagle Ranger and had pretty much come to terms with spending the $600+ for one. Checked ebay the other day and found a few. My max bid on this was was $450, which is what one closed at just before this bad boy: ZEAGLE RANGER BCD - eBay (item 160239146935 end...

    Pony Bottle for practice

    I'm still new and not certified yet, and I can tell you the last thing I'd want to do is dive into a pool with gear on and try things out on my own. The LDS instructor here lets people gear up and jump in free of charge after hours when he's got time to devote to them... I'd hope that whoever...

    Nasal Irrigation Follow-up

    Found a great video online of how to actually use a Neti Pot. I'd guess that most people who use them aren't using them quite the right way, and aren't getting the results they should be. Take a look: YouTube - How To Irrigate Your Nasal Passages

    Placement of the Transderm scop patch?

    I haven't bothered to look around much but considering that you have TWO ears and you only place it behind ONE... I'm assuming that the vestibular system of the opposing ear will also be affected by the medication, which leads me to be very skeptical about whether or not placement on the body...

    What about getting trolled?

    Yeah I have to say, that's what I'd do... imagine the guy's surprise as he hauls up some dude fin first :P

    What about getting trolled?

    So I'm going to certify this spring, and all of my diving - for this year at least - is going to be lake diving. One of my first thoughts was getting snagged by someone who's trolling. Granted, there are some places on the lake that are heavily trolled and those should obviously be avoided, and...

    Things you've found under water

    Also keep in mind... it's trash; although something might be living in it... the bottom could probably do without the garbage.

    Would you dive with someone who wouldn't share air if you were OOA?

    Awe, I wanted to be the only fool that said yes... I hope that was the reasoning behind the other 42 votes!

    Smoking and Diving Risks

    In part I was definitely agreeing, but I wanted to point out that while cold turkey was what worked for him and many others that he shouldn't simply assume that it will work for everyone, for the reasons I mentioned before. Different people are more prone to addiction than others, a very...

    buoyancy when snorkling/weights

    If you dial in the weights on a similar belt and you don't know what they weigh and you can't read them... you can always take them out of the belt and put them on a scale, you know ;)

    Smoking and Diving Risks

    Having counseled more people than I can remember on smoking cessation, and having done a fair amount of research as to the effectiveness of virtually every method available... I can say that will power is by far the most important factor influencing whether or not someone will stay smoke free or...

    Smoking and Diving Risks

    Print this out and look back at it in 20 years :) 1) You'll realize how much you miss diving 2) You'll miss how fit you used to be 3) You'll think you were a fool for thinking you were invincible :) I'd venture to say that your bottom time could significantly increase if you were to quit...
