    Diver Dies in Puget Sound - Blake Island

    I was out at 6:30 am just past high tide at Harper. The viz was 5 ft and surface conditions were cold and rainy, no wind or waves. We ended up calling off the diving though. I was a little surprised that folks were out diving during the exchange with the poor viz. I would expect poor...

    Building a personal fill station

    coldsmoke, Good setup. Very similar to my setup. ( I have 4 2400 & 4 4500 bottles) I would suggest that you add pressure relief valves for the appropriate pressure on each of the banks. omar

    BP/Wing Advice For New Diver

    I am also a big guy 6'2" 215. I have a couple of TransPacs that have been sitting on the shelf for a few years. I also have a variety of plates that I have gone through. None of them provided the correct fit. The best setup I have found is a Fred T large back plate. The regular size...

    Temperatures?

    Burst disks fail at their rated pressure (At P to 1.25P). There are ones for various pressures i.e 3000, 3300, 3500, 4000, 4500 etc. And the correct burst disk for a tank (according to DOT) should fail at -10% of the hydro pressure.

    Temperatures?

    If the tank started at 80 degF & 3000 psi, to get to 3900 psi it would have had to be 242 degF. Not likely.

    Hog harness/BP for tall folks

    Using a standard size plate for a big guy is like wearing size 10 socks on a size 12 foot. Get a FredT XL, it is about 2 inches longer than the standard size. I just got one about a month ago after diving a Dive Rite plate for 8 years. I should have done it years earlier. I am 6' 3", 215lb...

    Source for digital gauge

    jeez. I did not identify a gauge. If you are referring to the selection box it is the default for the page... They are all the same price. When you order it make sure you select the right pressure range and use the button on the right.

    DIR question regarding trimming out the bp/w

    What position are your hands at? They need to be extended in front of you, moving them back to your hips/waist will cause you to go head down if you are trimmed right.

    put'em back on sale on ebay where you got them. Usually you would ask these questions before you bid/buy.

    PPB Whip

    My local dive shop (before I moved) could and did get T's of O2 at 4500 psi! Apparently some of the mining operations in Nevada need and get it at that pressure. I didn’t believe it until I saw it.

    how do you mount a canister light on tanks

    The wreckers in the NE use stainless steel hose clamps and D-ring holders, then use clips . Check out NE scuba supply. However, this is not a recommended method to attach a light.

    what bulb?

    HID will have a ballast. Yours doesn't ( I remember the auction for the light you got). It most likely is a 50W halogen

    Nitrox blending stik

    The quickest and simplest setup is to use a static inline mixer from Cole-Parmer, http://www.coleparmer.com/catalog/vcatalog_page.asp?p=1186 add a couple of “T’s” and you are good to go. You don’t need the vacumm/pressure gauge that is in the attached photo and it is debatable if a check...
