    For Sale XS Scuba Worthington HP 119 Steel X8-119

    These tanks are in great condition but I don't get many chances to do local diving anymore and so I need to clear them out of the closet. These tanks have great buoyancy and balance characteristics. The tanks were last Hydro'ed 10/12 and VIP'ed 6/16. Both tanks have convertible valves, boots...

    Poor experience with Discovery Diving, NC

    We canceled 3-4 weeks before the charter when there were only one or two others on the boat. The website the day of said the charter was full. When we called they said the charter was full. Once we asked for a refund they refused and said it was not actually full.

    Poor experience with Discovery Diving, NC

    A word of warning to anybody booking with discovery diving that has to cancel, make sure to verify a dive is full before asking for a refund. My wife booked a week of diving a month ago but had to cancel it a few weeks back due to a work situation. We were of course aware of the standard policy...

    Electronic Distress Signal for divers??

    One big thing with SPOT is coverage: http://www.findmespot.com/ExploreSPOT/Coverage.aspx it does not cover everywhere so think about where you are planning on diving! The EPIRB should work on both land and sea, though here in a few months the land based units will not routinely monitor the...

    Air Integrated Computer Help Needed

    Basically what the others said, with my VT3 if you have it set at 500 PSI to arrive back at the surface with it calculates the time based off that. They key is that it also calculates the amount of time to safely swim up, do a 3 minute safety stop, and break the surface with that 500 PSI...

    Here is a hi res download of DIR III

    Thanks for that info, I downloaded it but then was wondering about the legality of it and did not want to redistribute an illegal file. I don't know how long I will keep it up but will probably keep it for awhile: http://www.johnwigle.com/scuba-files/dir3.wmv . Please do tell me if you...

    Norfolk area diving

    I may be going within ~30 minutes of Norfolk this weekend (I will be north of it so not interested in Virginia beach) and wondering if anybody had any suggestions on diving. I looked and there are a few dive shops and operations but I will be going down there without a buddy, still working on...

    GPS for Scuba

    I have heard rumors of the navy having a unit with a long disposable antenna, when they want to know where they are they deploy the antenna to the surface. No idea if it really exists but it sounds plausible enough, a camera type case that allows you to push the gps buttons and instead of a...

    New Navy Dive Manual and AIR TABLES

    At a quick glance yes, I just pulled out the table SSI provides copywrite '95 (version 5?) and there is a lot more time added in the no deco air tables.

    Renting dive gear

    Last time I looked it was ~$50 for the first bag if i was under 50 lbs. With 1 checked bag and 1 carry on you can probably get most of your gear - I don't know if you were serious but $300 sounds pretty high unless you are carrying a lot of stuff. As far as why do people put up with it? That is...

    Ebay question

    I think the post office normally takes 24-48 hours before the tracking number is in the system, i have had plenty of packages that are only put into the tracking system AFTER I receive it. I would not really worry about it for now, it probably is ok. If he says it shipped I would probably give...

    Spun composit cylinders?

    Along with the durability and weight issues how many places can fill a tank to 5000 PSI?

    Getting instruction from a friend?

    Another suggestion for if you want to try it is most LDS have some sort of an intro to scuba for low/no fee where you get to swim around in usually a pool for an hour. T As others have said there is no law, just you will probably not be able to get your tanks filled anywhere or dive at any...

    Homemade underwater housing

    I am by no means an expert but what about mounting the glass on the opposite side? Right now you have the plexi being held in by glue for the inward pressure that is going to be exerted as you go down in depth. I would think you would want it on the opposite side with the hard plastic stopping...

    SSI Written Test TOMORROW!!

    I entirely forgot about the SSI test (I took a semester college class) went in and got 100% on the test, not too bad if you have gone over the material.

    How do you communicate pressure?

    Yeah, all I meant is that I know of at least one organization that does it as a standard. Seems like a simple method. I dive with an air integrated computer and on my last trip I had a buddy with the same computer so just used the buddy check function which was handy

    Posado del Sol won't return deposit

    Ouch, I imagine if they are going out of business for money reasons you will have trouble recovering any money. Good luck though!
