    Close-top rain-tank -

    Wise styglobites, We've bought a farm house in the hills above Montego Bay, Jamaica, and it's got a farm's rainwater tank: ~20'x30'x 12' deep. It's also got a flat concrete cover, three internal tank/modules each with its own ~18x18" access hatch. Annoyingly, I'm being told that I need to get...

    Painted tanks: touch-up & painting

    Wise Aquatists, I bought a dozen Al80s last year in white- the colour was a weak choice at the time, but I'm lovin' them: they don't heat up in the full sunshine of my little boat (like, at all) and they're super-visible both underwater and at the fill-shop. They're becoming a bit iconic to my...

    Slow & steady little compressor- curious and/or seeking

    Wisdom pool, I'm wondering if there exists a little electric compressor that could fill a whip of 1/2dozen+ tanks on an overnight trickle. quiet as possible, 120 or 220V or 3phase, and 50Hz in a perfect world. I'd set an alarm to check it from time to time, and/or a baby-monitor. Andrew

    Brand new tanks: to rinse or not to rinse?

    Lovely, sparkly SCUBA Folk, Brand-new tanks have arrived, still in plastic bag with little blue plastic plug. Q: Do I set the valve & fill 'em up, or is it advisable to give 'em a quick rinse-out first? Qi: If the latter, soap? Vinegar? Both? The weather's nasty so it will take day(s)...

    A housing for my lovely old SONY (NEX-5R)

    Cheeky rekindling of an ancient thread as i'm coming back to decision-making crunch-time. I need a monitoring & website snaps camera for work. I'm currently on a wee workhorse Linux "Tough" (Panasonic) and it's fine for the price, but I don't trust it beyond ~20' and a few minutes...

    IGills?

    G'Morning Diver-types, Any recent reviews or comments on what seems to be the newest version of this IGills IPhone-com-computer? I like having a tiny camera in my pocket (rather than carrying a bulkier cam-housing) and need a watch/computer & compass & GPS and this seems to be a low-cost...

    NEX-5R Housing

    Folks, I bought a SONY NEX-5R camera a good few years ago. I like it fine (though the pics can be dark...) but the newer versions have so many more bells & whistles, so I'm loath to throw all manner of money at a housing if I'm thinking of replacing sooner rather than later. However, as an...

    Need: Technisub Stratos FP in the US.

    Folks, I'm trying to buy a set of Technisub Stratos/Blades FP (fins) or any of the same-mold-different-maker versions. I live too far from a shop to risk blisters, and these things have ample grunt to tow stuff and controllability for delicate positioning in bad seas. ...and ultimately I'm too...

    Recommendations for compressor

    Knowledgeable folks, I'm a coral propagation/restoration ecologist, looking to separate myself from the usual (academic/donor/NGO) controls by supplying my own materials/gear- including compressor. Looking for recommendations base on: 1) >4.5 CFM. Less is a little limiting for larger projects...

    MoBay

    Folks, Some local aquatic-types here in MoBay (Jamaica) are setting up a little informal divers-club. Weekends, evenings, spawnings/events etc... based on the Hash House Harriers sports-club model: "a drinking club with a running problem". MoBay gets a pretty bad rap for diving because a)...
