    Old tank warning

    OP here, The rust is worse than the photo leads you to believe. The rust is actually into the metal, it's a divot. It doesn't really show in the picture. I think the first hydro date on that tank was '72. I actually was waiting in line at my LDS fiddling with the tanks when I found the...

    Old tank warning

    I'm sure this has been discussed, but I wanted to add my own 2 cents. My dad got his certification in 1968 and accumulated various equipment over the years. Life got busy and several tanks sat unused from the early 1970s till 1995, when I got my cert. The tanks were tested and passed all the...

    Non permanent rental gear identification tags - suggestions?

    Haven't dove in a long time

    Hello All, I have a YMCA open water certification from 1990, when I was 15. I don't think I dove at all in the last decade and all my gear is at least 15 years old. My octopus is actually my dad's old US Divers Calypso I. I'm taking a cruise in May and started looking at some of the diving...
