Online store for technical gear?

What is a good online store for technical gear?

I'm looking for stage bottle accessories. Should I just by the hose clamp at the hardware store?

What about the rubberband like thingie ma gig that you stow your reg under?

I couldnt find this on scubatoys.

Can you tell I'm new to this?

TIA

I've been to Dive Rite Express numerous times...I need to quit looking at their rebreather section and pay attention to the other crap on there.

thanks!!

Try DIR-diver.com - Stagebottle rigging

Hardware or auto parts store for hose clamp, 3/8" fuel line, rope and cheap*ss inner tube. Total cost should be less than $10.

Alternatively, you can go to a local feed store. Then you have the right to call yourself a "tack diver".

Cut the innertube up for the "rubberband like thingie ma gig that you stow your reg under". Buy two smaller hose clamps and connect them if you can't find one big enough to fit your stage bottle. Total time spent: 15-30 minutes.

Happy diving!

Central Tractor has all the parts. Stainless Steel boltsnaps seem to have gone up, but you can still do it for less than $20.

Some people use an innertube section, I use surgical tubing.

Stage bottle rigging is a definite DIY as indicated by the prior posts and plans. Another good source for tech gear is Northeast Scuba. Good deals owing to bulk purchases and great deals on good used stuff.
