    Boat bench

    I actually am trying to keep the gunwales clear, but not for egress. The contraption is destined for the port side, and boarding access is restricted to a 3' area near the stern. I specifically wanted to keep it bottom-mounted because the boat has high freeboard and the tanks would have to be...

    Boat bench

    I tried to search for this a couple of ways, maybe I'm using the wrong words... So, if anybody remembers an old thread, toss me a link if you wouldn't mind. I recently purchased a 19' Cuddy cabin to outfit as a dive boat, and I've been brainstorming ways to make the tank benches. I was...

    Pony Setup

    "Divers" prefer mounting clamped ponies with the valve-down, to make the knob easier to reach. It is somewhat less tangle-prone, also.:popcorn:

    How many dives did you have?

    My OW was in dutch springs. My first dive after getting my c-card signed, started as a 3-buddy, and 1/2 way through it, my buddies ditched me.(one-a fellow student, the other-his close friend) We visited the stripped-down remains of the chopper, went inside to make it a "penetration dive"...

    How often do you clear your mask?

    Piikki, if you have a narrow head, or raised bridge of your nose, perhaps you should try a "child's" or junior mask. My wife could never find one to fit, until she tried one on unintentionally.

    Hello to all the imitation fish out there!

    Yeppers, it was a breeze. Thanks for asking. I was worried that it would be a challenge, but the real challenge is proving to be finding a local divesite that I can splash, on a moment's notice. Like many businessmen, I find it futile to make recreational plans, even a week in advance. :no:

    Polyethylene glygol (PEG)

    What about RV antifreeze? You can buy it by the gallon @ walmart. Wouldn't a higher molecular weight decrease solubility?

    1989 Luxfer cylinder VIP refusals

    I've been thinking about this for a while, and, although I disdain the arbitrary making of rules under the thin guise of benefitting the customer to belie an avarice; I don't think that such is the case here. In reference to the blanket 1990 rule for aluminum, anyone who's seen "It's A...

    Hello to all the imitation fish out there!

    You know who you are... I haven't been certified yet, but I'm on my way. :clock: When I was a kid, I was really interested in SCUBA, but I read about the dangers of breathing compressed air by youths, and I put it on the back burner for 15 years... I finally am in a position of pursuing...
