In 1996 at a Scubapro clinic we were told to never, never, ever again use ANY silicone grease in a regulator. Ever. At the time our options were Crystolube or Krytox. (Tribolube probably wasn't out at the time.) Dow 111 was what we had been using for cylinder neck o-rings, and we also coated...

Are you people insane?

As a cave diver I find this statement to be a little odd. I would guess that 98% or more of the rebreather divers I see carry more than enough to get them out of the cave. This is the major reason rebreathers don't appeal to me - you put on this nice, compact, self-contained system, then you...

All have been sold - thanks for looking! I still have four DIN valves, three backplates, two wings, and a bunch of other stuff to unload - PM me.

I believe these are Pro Cyklon 5000s, but I could be wrong. The guy I got them from said they haven't been used since servicing, but I can't guarantee that. They are spotless with no corrosion or blemishing. $60 apiece? Sounds fair. You pay shipping or they're in Panama City Beach. (Two will...

No name on them, look like Thermos. 3/4'', for normal cylinders. $40 apiece, or I'll oxygen clean them for five bucks more each. No corrosion. You pay shipping or they're in Panama City Beach. (Two will fit in the small USPS Priority Mail box and ship for $5.80. All four would require the next...

According to his post, neither. LP-120s are 2400 psi. You know, the huge ones. ---------- Post added December 10th, 2013 at 07:52 PM ---------- No. Two different models. E-Series are 3442 and have the 3/4 neck. HP series are 3500 and have the 7/8 neck.

I don't know who is following this thread, but here is my report: I ended up going with Cayman Turtle Divers. They picked Lynn and me up across the street from the dock. There were two crew and four customers on a center console. We went to Stringray City where another customer and I spent...

I've searched the board and Googled this, but I can't find what I need to know. I'm going on a honeymoon cruise (Carnival) in November, and we'll be in Georgetown, Grand Cayman from 8am until 3pm on my birthday - the 18th. Stingray City has been on my bucket list for years, and since I'm not...

One of the shops I work in is Chattahoochee Scuba in Columbus, Georgia. Fort Benning is only a few miles away. Several months ago we were approved for the GI Bill on what I believe is "any scuba courses that will lead to the individual being employed as a scuba professional." I'm just a reg...

I'm sorry, but although this will be of no use to you, I still have to chime in. You have come up with a portmanteau of model names. The Balanced Adjustable was called the 150. The 109 was adjustable but non-balanced. And the graphite non-balanced modern regs are the only ones to carry the...

I applaud your caution, but the bottom of Morrison is only 90', and still in the daylight zone.

Here's my last experience with Vortex: A friend and his then-13-year-old son had just been certified open water and wanted me to go diving with them. The gulf was too cold so we went to Vortex. As we signed in, the Vortex employee showed us a map of the complex and explained everything...

I have been asked to copy a post I made on another forum: I'm hoping you won't come back to view the posts here. If you do, you'll probably come to the conclusion that cave divers are the hardest-hearted people around. We aren't really that way. But if you look at the history of cave diving...

I'm sure they were speculating about a diver faking his death.
