Just saw this posted on a RC Heli forum. Glad to see good words spread about our sport.

Sorry, I couldn't get the video to post right inside this thread
If you go the e-bay route then keep in mind the manufactures warranty is sometimes not transferable if buying from an unauthorized dealer/used (or applicable if buying grey market) so you may be on the hoop for the full cost of a regulator service whereas if warranty were to cover you then all...
I just wanted clarify some points regarding the Parts For Life program.
It is my understanding that the parts for life program covers the cost of the rebuild kits (excluding labour) if the regulator is maintained on a yearly schedule.
My first question that I can't seem to get a straight...
If you own your own gear you will always have the cost of:
-Transport to and from the dive site (gas)
-tank fills ( air, nitrox or tri mix)
-tank maintenance (hydro and vis inspections)
-replacement of lost equipment (though you will probably find some to balance this cost)
-gear maintenance...
Hi DaleC,
The Navy's doing well, however hasn't seen the water since I saw you. I've decided to restore a more common reg to todays standards and save that one for display.
The fins don't appear to be the Huntington Beach "Spearfisherman" fins but they are pure gum rubber and they say...
Thanks Sam for the identification. Would you have a picture, scan or link of the catalog page you referred to? I would be curious to know if it was a standard or deluxe model.
It seems the cheater bar is placed in that position because the reg will hit the top of the back plate if it is placed...
Wolfie: I haven't spun the tops off the tanks yet to inspect the insides. I'll post results after I get the chance to do that.
Sitkadiver: I've decided to keep the regs as projects, though I am curious as to what others would value them at. Both the seller and I were a little vague on the...
I went to buy a new double hose reg, specifically a DAAM in rough shape that was in need of a good overhaul. My intentions were to pick the cheapest one I could find and replace the internals, pop a Phoenix valve into it and completely modernize it with new hoses and mouth piece, the whole...
Hi eelbert,
I've had a chance to talk it over with the wife now and were going to stay with the setups that we have for right now. We were originally looking to have the 400D set up for our trip to australia but decided to get two point and shoot cameras instead of the one 400d setup. I really...
After my wife and I got certified we discussed learning Sign language. It's still on the wish list of things to do but haven't had the time to do it yet. It is soon to come though.
I recently went on a 3 day/2 night with Pro-Dive Cairns but was not impressed with them. I also did a one day with Aristocat from Port Douglas and was much more impressed with them and their sites. I would recommend looking into Aristocat and seeing if they do longer trips.
Have a great trip...
Yes, I filled it quite fast and not even with RAW. I was using the Large file size at the time and 720 for movie. 16 Gig sounds like it would do you well. I would like to reiterate the high speed again ;)
I recently upgraded my 400D to a 500D and bought a high speed SD card to go with it because they don't use the CF cards anymore. I use a SanDisk 4GB "Extreme" (20 MB/s) with my 500D. I have other slower cards, left over from other cameras, but I use the higher speed as my primary because I do...
This isn't the first time i've seen this analogy used. I just don't see how this analogy works...
First, I don't see the similarities between the design of a propeller to the design of a split fin
Second, I can't see how the operation of a paddle blade resembles that to the operation of a...
