    Is the T3 a worthy upgrade over the B2?

    I've had a B2 for nearly 15 years and it's a great regulator. I can get 20% off a $1900 T3 if I trade in my B2. Would you guys consider switching to a T3 or are the differences subtle enough to where I should just keep chugging along with my B2/Z3 octo combo? This is for saltwater Florida diving.

    What would you use this pole spear for in Florida?

    Just got a speargun, but have never speared a fish before. I've also had this old pole spear in the garage for years that I got from a friend and never used. I want to get a new band for it and maybe put it to use as I learn how to hunt. The shaft measures about 5 feet, and about 5'10" total...

    First speargun - Never used one

    Hey guys. I've been considering spearfishing for a while but never bit the bullet. I recently had something for sale and got a trade offer for a Mares Viper Pro 100. I'm pretty excited to get out and give it a try. First off, those who have this model, anybody had any issues with the line...

    For Trade WTT: Zeagle Ranger shoulder straps Medium for Large

    I have a Medium Ranger in which I'd like to swap out the shoulder section for a L. Mine is in excellent condition, and I'm in South Florida. Thanks! Would consider purchasing Large shoulder section.

    Closed: WTB/WTT: Mares Volo Power open-heel fins in XL - South Florida

    I have a pair of "Regular" ones in blue/black in which the platform doesn't extend all the way to my heel. They haven't caused cramps but I wear a size 12 boot and it seems I'd be better off with an XL. Would be willing to trade for XL or buy outright for the right price and give them a shot...

    Where do you attach all of your goodies?

    Saw an old similar thread somewhere else and was interesting reading how they had their gear configured. I'm getting back into diving after years away from it and trying to figure out what works best, especially with lobster gear in Florida. Does anybody use a coiled clip lanyard for their...

    Closed Atomic SS1 Stainless Blue $120

    In original box with all accessories and adapters. Always rinsed and well taken care of. Maybe 20 dives on it. Hasn't seen water in a few years so I'd recommend servicing, but has always performed flawlessly. I decided to switch back to a traditional octo setup. $120 firm. Pickup in...

    Zeagle Ranger with HP100 Steel Tank Balance

    What have you guys found to be the happy balance for this combination? I don't feel completely comfortable and I'm not exactly sure what it is. I haven't been diving much in the last few years so haven't gotten the chance to experiment. Trying to get back into it more regularly and tune my...

    Can anyone identify this prescription mask?

    I've only ever used the Tusa Liberator masks with EVO lenses from Divers Direct in South Florida. Not a fan of them, but they work. Well, I lost it today. A buddy gave me this mask. The left eye is dead on, but the right eye is a little stronger than my prescription (4.5 vs. my 3.75). I'd...

    Aeris Elite T3 wrist computer band options

    I was on a dive yesterday for the firs time in forever and was wearing my Aeris Elite T3 air integrated wrist computer. I felt a little bit of tension release on my arm, looked over, and my computer was dangling. The band broke, clean break across the corrugated/rippled part. Thankfully I...

    Atomic Regulator hissing. Is this normal?

    Just got my B2 back from overhaul. With the adjustment knob turned all the way out (lightest breathing), if I purge the regulator, it lightly hisses for another 10 seconds or so once released. If I put the adjustment screw in a couple of turns, it stops as soon as I release the purge. Is this...

    Aeris Elite T3 O-ring size? Kit?

    I have an Aeris Elite T3 wrist computer and transmitter that's about 9 years old. I've replaced the batteries a bunch, but never the o-rings. I just lube them up. I have a ton of batteries lying around, and lube, so it pains me to consider buying a $20 kit just for the o-ring. I have...

    Octo recommendation?

    Edit: Went with the Z2. Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked a bunch. I've been out of diving for a few years now. I have an Atomic B2 in which I've decided to do away with the SS1 octo inflator and go back to a traditional octo setup. Atomic is expensive. Is there any advantage to...

    Atomic questions. SS1 and B2

    I have a B2 DIN that's about 10 years old. Always been a great reg, but I just have not been diving in quite some time so I'm about to take it in for service. Many years ago, when I had money to blow, I thought it was a good idea to have the first stage environmentally sealed, which increases...

    Good shop for Atomic regulator servicing in South Florida?

    I have an Atomic B2 that I need serviced as it has been mostly sitting for a few years, but always well cared for otherwise. Divers Direct is back up 4-6 weeks. I think Force-E was a couple of weeks also. Any other recommendations? edit: I'm in Pompano Beach, but also frequent West Palm Beach.

    Steel tank life and value?

    I have a pair of Worthington HP100's I bought new back in 2008 I believe. They've been hydro'd once, and I'm about to drop them off for round two. I rarely ever dive anymore, which makes me sad. They have sat full since the last VIP a year ago, and are now due for hydro this month. I'm...

    Environmental seal worth it for saltwater use? General service questions.

    Hello, Four years ago I had my Atomic B2 DIN environmentally sealed for $50 hoping to keep my 1st stage in better condition while diving saltwater here in South Florida but I haven't been diving very frequently since then. I'm trying to get back into it and the reg hasn't been serviced since...

    O2 Cleaning

    I have a pair of Worthington HP100's that I just dropped off for hydro at a shop that only does partial pressure blending. When they do the VIP, is there a way to determine if they happen to already be O2 clean and then label them as such? I bought them new so they were of course clean at one...

    Couple questions on a pony bottle for bail out

    I have been out of diving for a little while (about a yearish) but I've finally decided to get a pony bottle as I hopefully get things rolling again. I decided on a 19cf for recreational diving mostly in the 50-90ft range and I think I'm going to sling it for ease of access and the ability to...
