    On becoming a Captain...

    Well I do have a bad back that I will be getting a spinal fusion on in the next few months that should eliminate most of my symptoms and it should get me off of most of my meds but I can do anything anyone else can do, I can even do heavy lifting if I have to. What it comes down to is how much...

    On becoming a Captain...

    Yeah, I think I would be a little bit upset if I paid for a drug test only to find out that I took an unapproved test or some idiot that was testing me didn't write down the prescriptions I am on.

    On becoming a Captain...

    Question on the drug testing..... As long as I am prescribed medication by my doctor and provide proof I am okay, right? Or will they fail me for the drug test and not allow me to go forward until I am off of all narcotic medications?

    The all inclusive Oriskany Thread

    I'll be down in Cocoa Beach area chartering a boat out on Monday then maybe I'll go down to west palm later in the week. I'd go with you to try the O but I'm not trying to drive all the way up there and get washed out by an oil slick. Maybe I'll just bring my drysuit and do a hazmat dive just in...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Good point on that!!! I will say this though.... I never asked for anything free though because I would never expect anything for free (service or battery change). From what Mike stated it seems that the company really tries to bank on people no filling out and returning the warranty...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Well as they say, "It is what it is" but in my opinion it kinda sucks, it is like someone buying a used car with only 25K miles on it and then something happening to it that is covered by the warranty and the dealer not honoring it because the new owner was not the original owner. I know that...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Hmmm, someone may have tinkered and tried to reseal it before… Next time I’m there I will have to take a closer look at it…. Now the conflicting information I have heard on this is that you had to be the original owner of the computer and it had to be purchased from a Scuba Pro dealer (no...

    Where can we buy Sherwood parts?

    I think you may be right on that. In all honesty I don’t mind supporting the LDS but when it is something as simple as a diaphragm replacement why should anyone pay around $50 for a “regulator service” for a part that they most likely pay $2.50 for a pack of 10… The sad truth of the matter...

    Where can we buy Sherwood parts?

    Very true statement there... I agree with you 100% but for some reason that is most likely the reason that the manufacturers won't sell parts and technically they won't allow dealers to sell them to consumers either. Maybe the dealers are worried that if the manufacturers find out that they sold...

    Where can we buy Sherwood parts?

    I just sent an email to the site admin to see if they have specific parts that I can purchase from them. They only list the seals, seats, and o-ring kits... I'll keep you posted on my progress...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Jacques Cousteau!!! How is that for an example of someone who tinkered!!! A man with a true sense of exploration!!! Remember this; breaking the rules is why we are underwater in the first place. If not for that we wouldn't even have a website called ScubaBoard. If it wasn't for people...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Widget is the man!!! He is a true Evil Genius! :doctor: SEE!!! That is what I am talking about!!! A man that says “YES IT CAN BE DONE” even though the manual says you have to send it to the dealer. :yeahbaby: After seeing the remnants of the Air X in a box of other dinosaurs in the LDS...

    Vladimir thanks for the post, I’m still LMAO!!! :rofl3: Flier, I sent you thanks for your helpfulness on this matter and for wishing me well. I have been called worse by better! I will start off by apologizing to you for asking the initial question that offended you because I apparently...

    Battery Replacement in Uwatec Air X Nitrox impossible

    Before I even entertain Scubaflier’s comments I’ll stick to the topic. :D I think you are right about that Mike…. I was talking to a good friend of mine (apparently someone else who thinks they are above the rules) who owns the LDS here and he had an old Air X also that he...

    Where can we buy Sherwood parts?

    Yeah true... He would probably sell the parts to me I just hate asking him to do that because I know that it could potentially put him in a tight place if he sold me or anyone else the parts and something crazy happened and someone got injured or killed. Not that I would ever hold someone liable...

    Where can we buy Sherwood parts?

    I know people are servicing their own regs, lets face it, it is not rocket science for most regs, especially Sherwood regs. All I really need is an exhaust diaphragm but I would like to know where I can get parts for regs at. Where are people getting their kits from? Granted I am good friends...
