I have an old HID 50 head and the light just died today... Does anyone know how to dismantle it to change the bulb ? I have found the bulb and even the ballast needed but I have not found the way to take the head apart and get the light "bulb" out. There is apparently no way to unscrew the...

I'm looking to check if I can try and replace the zipper on my semi-dry suit which has teared of at the ends and leaks out pretty badly... I have seen great posts (Dave4868 and LP Brett), very inspiring. I was just wondering if I could simply replace the current plastic zipper by a more robust...

I own an Isotherm 6/XL which I was very happy for the last 5 years I dove with it (~120 dives on it). I dive various conditions typically between 40-75F (Europe mostly). yes I said I was very happy, until this summer... When I realized my zipper was teared on both ends, letting water get in...

This past weekend, I did my last dives in New England (for a while I believe)... A bit like the last dinner... :D We started Friday with what was supposed to be a Lobster dive, that turned into a night dive instead, at a different place than planned :) I'm really bad at lobstering (good...

Since you are all the locals and I'd prefer to sell locally, here is the link to m For Sale thread... I wish I could keep that tank ;) http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/classifieds-tanks-valves-bands/348691-hp119-x8-3442-psi-h-valve-xs-scuba-tank-300-a.html#post5427415

Title says it all... or almost ! The Tank has been O2 cleaned a couple months ago (May). and filled with Cleaned air or Nitrox since then. Currently filled with Cleaned air. For info, all servicing, 02 cleaning done by United Divers in Sommerville, MA (Boston). Original Hydro date is...

I have enrolled to a trip with East Coast Divers (ecdivers.com) for an Alexandria Bay experience :) I called them today to get some more info, they still have 3 spots available if anyoe want to join some crazy Belgian diver... :D I do not have any affiliation with ecdivers and only learnt about...

Last year I bought second hand a backplate+wing system, complete set. I definitely do not regret it !! It came with an Halcyon plate and its backplate pad mount. That pad is serving 2 purposes (to my understanding) - comfort and storage for a liftbag or SMB (right ?). I'm not yet convinced...

Until last week it was easy to find parking around Rockport, but as from now, we will be back to better temperatures in the water, that also means much more sunny eeather and more people will show up ! I definitely think I will miss winter time... That said, I think I will quickly forget...

Couldn't help it ! I wanted to go diving too bad and my wife let me go (flowers were planned early) :D Was getting ready when I realized I forgot my catch bag home :shakehead: Well, this happens and everything else was there... Since we planned for a deeper dive it would not bother me too...

RadHal and me agreed to dive Old Garden Beach initially yesterday morning, but it looked like a bit of surge and windy so we decided to head to Folly instead. We had a very pleasant dive, even if I struggled a bit with my buoyancy with my new smaller wing (I ended up way overweight now)...

I'm having a day off tomorrow and looking at potentially diving... anyone available to meet anywhere in Cape Ann area between 9am and latest 1pm (to be on the road back max at 3pm) ? Ineed to clear this with my real boss (my wife :D), so I'm sensing first if there are any volunteer to share...

My buddy and I went to Front Beach. we were a bit afraid of the forecast but it turned out pretty good ! It was sunny, a little bit rough at sight but no problem to enter and exit. The winter has completely changed it, at least the beach which now shows rockes where it used to be sand, I have...

Alright... I made up my mind ! I want to have the Nitrox TDI course, but I have no clue where or who an give me this. I called my LDS and they only do the SDI. Talking with them it seems clear the SDI is really simplified. I want the real thing ;o) TDI seems to be one of the best around and I'm...

I'm looking for a used (or better, new) wing in the 25-35lbs range. This is for single tank diving with my 119cf tank. I will evaluate everything under 175$ (you can find a brand new HOG 32lbs for 200$, shipping included). Please provide pictures and approximate number of dives, last service...

I missed the sale on Dive Rites wings last Xmas, paycheck came in 2 days too late... And I'm still p.... off about it ! So i came across that HOG 32lbs wing which is of a reasonable price, but I was wondering if it was any good or what are the downsides of that wing vs others ? I own an Apeks...

I would be willing to join :D my buddies let me down (for good reasons though). I'd like to do 1 dive in Cape Ann area in the morning, any timing would fit as long as it is the morning ! Let me know :) I will probably not look at answers before late afternoon so don;t be surprised...

I have a (very nice) Scubapro Trilam Drysuit nd probably have just less than 20 dives on it now. In the beginning I struggled because my feet could move inside during finning and it was causing issues. I went ahead and started using 2 pairs of heavy wool socks, which helps a lot, but I still...

Darn, this year is very bad... pretty much no snow (at least in my area, I know around there has been a lot), weekends are just merky with a lot of winds, rain and rough seas... Last year, I can remember plenty of sunny weekends, cold but at least sunny and with nice and easy sea ! Yes, I'm...

I just bought a Mk25/A700 and did my first dive with it last WE. Now this was not the ideal dive to compare breathing and consumption (quite rough sea), but I was wondering if an easier to breathe kit would actually lead to higher SAC rate ? My first reaction would be no... as higher SAC rate...
