    Carbon Monoxide analysis

    Its now required by the ministry of labor in Ontario for all compressors that fill breathing cylinders for anyone being paid to breathe compressed gas. So all of the dive shops here now have them. Most shops seem to be using the Analox analyzer.

    In what situation would you leave your buddy?

    In an emergency, every scenario is different and you never truely know how YOU will act until its already happening. The best thing you can do is drill to be able to react in a way that doesnt make a bad situation worse and prepare yourself to react and not just spin around in indecision. You...

    Way Too Much Information

    Downside of Zeagle is parts for them can't be obtained everywhere. Same with many regulator brands. I would look around at your local shops and see what they sell and service then make a list of what they have comapred to your wants and needs and shop accordingly.

    Hand-Tight Second Stages

    You got it, he didn't unscrew the hose from the 2nd stage inlet fitting, he unsrewed the inlet fitting from the body, therefore moving the orifice away from the seat inside the valve, just as it would do if he was breathing off it. When he tightened the fitting, he reseated the orifice against...

    T2T member introduction discussion thread

    Most of the dives in the St Lawrence river, especially shore dives in the thousand islands area, require you to return to your entrance point due to ownership along the river, or the physical geography that does not allow an exit. Add to this heavy boat traffic and strong surface currents in...

    Apeks Tek 3 Cold / Deep Water

    Apeks are apeks are apeks. The 2nd stages are all identical internally from the AT20's to the XTX200's. The difference as you move from one model to the next is the addition of user adjustment knobs and heat sinks for cold water use. The first stages are all basically the same as well. Your...

    Who Makes The Best Regulator?

    OMG, I just read through this thread. 99% of these posts are pure fanboy responses from people with no clue what makes a reg work. They're all ****e, they all break and they all cost way too much. Now pick one and go diving.

    2nd stage regulator face plate

    We've had to remove faceplates in the St. Lawrence river to get crap out of exhaust valves on stage regs. Its an interesting procedure in dry gloves and current. The CE and EN250 certs mandate that the faceplate cannot accidently be removed by the diver. This is why there is a pin in the Mares...

    Constantly, we work on just about every make and model and pretty much every manufacturer has something to be claimed eventually.

    Apeks XTX50 free flow question

    This is not normal for one of these models. Could you describe the "freeflow"? Freeflow is often a misused description for regulator problems. Is it a runaway freeflow every time as if you were purging it, or bubbling constantly until you turn the knob in. It sounds to me like this reg is...

    Truth about Hamilton/Scourge finally out

    This isn't news, that video surfaced a few years ago. This will continue to hapen until people start getting charged. The marine heritage laws are paper tigers at thier best and until funding and resources put in place to track down and recover stolen artifats they wil continue to go missing...
