    Uwatec Aladin Sport Plus

    yep as stated above you got to wet those fingers to turn it on. I also mistakenly opened up the back of it while cleaning it. And in the process found out that in order to get a new battery or service it has to be sent via a dealer to the mfg and that will cost you about $140 min. Then I...

    Rinsing environmentally sealed 1st stage

    Since sherwood uses constant air oozing out (dry air bleed) to keep the water and contaminates from getting in I don't see how soaking an unpressurized sherwood 1st would be the best way to handle it. Per the mfg directions it says. With the dust cap securely in place rinse the 1st and 2nd...

    TUSA RS 520 reviews information

    The rs520 is a piston 1st stage and I think only the sherwood has a enviro sealed piston 1st stage. Given your high cost of maintence on the island I would think you might do better to get a sealed 1st stage type 1st (if you can find one for the same price). On the up side it has an adjustable...

    10 years old scuba?

    Hum! I'm on a very very slow course of taking my 9 soon to be 10 year old through certification. Don't know is she's going to make it this year. Children swim down to 10-16' in pools all the time. It seems just as soon as one is able to swim down they start testing the depth they can go. And...

    What is the TUSA equivalent to SP MK17

    OK, here's the next line of questions. Can you use the R400 kit to service an MK16? If so, Can you use the R400 kit to service an mk16 that has been upgraded to an mk17?

    Rinsing environmentally sealed 1st stage

    So lets go a little further on this. What are we rinsing when we rinse the 1st stage with the dust cover on? How do you rinse a 1st stage that isn't enviro sealed? How do you rinse a 1st stage like the sherwood that uses pressure bubbles to keep it sealed? And while we are at it what do...

    What is the TUSA equivalent to SP MK17

    I was considering the TUSA as I feel like the scubapro maintence parts are exhobrently high! Thus I figured getting the TUSA equivelent to an MK17 might be a good route and save on maintence in the future.

    Hey BrazilNut - what's your deal, man?

    I do my share internet buying and selling and thus am empathetic to both sides of the story. I don't feel he was wrong to start the thread awareness when he received no response from you. We all ship money to folks on good faith and never know if the 15 trader responses aren't just a hoax for...

    What is the TUSA equivalent to SP MK17

    What I learned DIY hard weights

    From left to right 1/3 of a soda can about 3lbs, 1/4 soda can, standard tuna can, and sardine can. Cosmetically the Tuna Can and Sardine Cans produce the smoothest molds with the least edges. The Tuna can had a dent in it so you see the edge has a dent in it. There were so many fumes I...

    What I learned DIY hard weights

    HUM my friend is a dentist thanks for the insight. I simply melted it in an aluminum non stick small saucepan any size would be fine though having a cover of some kind helps. I used an old non stick skillet that was also due to be thrown away to cover and to help collect junk off the top...

    Lead Shot?

    Call your local gun club find a place that has reloading supplies. If you buy on line most places have you buy two bags which I assume is more than you need. Reclamined shot is cheaper now than regular shot so ask if they have reclamined shot.
