    Small tank question / solicitation

    Howdy there, I'm not too familiar with some of the standard smaller tank sizes. Not looking to do any cave/deep diving, but rather, trying to put the finishing touches on a rig I've been getting together for my Son. He's a real little guy at the moment and as such, a steel 72 is even a...

    Dacor Reg. people.....

    So, to start off with, Im an inherently “retro” kinda guy. Not hard-core vintage, but I started diving in ’82, and that’s pretty well where my head is at. All the new high-tec stuff really doesn’t interest me much. Tried on a new top of the line BC vest the other day at the LDS just for fun...

    Repaint tank

    Any issues / suggestions in terms of repainting a tank??? Just picked up an extra AL80, used. Pretty good shape, but would like to spruce-up the cosmetics. Didn't want to strip, just go over what's there. Was going to mask valve & inspection stickers, wipe down with alcohol to degrease...

    Diving in the new Millennium ???

    So… I’m new here. My third thread… Trying to get my diving head back in place… Dove A LOT in mid 80’s and early 90’s, then took some time (15 years) off to get married and raise a Son. As Son is getting older, was/am really looking forward to introducing him to ME, the early years, and...
