Cool, thanks. Hortons is probably my best choice since I'll be there that wekend, and apparently a lot of the good North Shore dive locations, like Clarkes beach, are closed to divers :(. I'll see what I can find out in the next few days. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Great Link. added to my Favorites. I never realized there were so many places for good diving around LI. Edit: Since I've now been given permission to post in the "Dive NY" forum, could a mod please move this there? Thanks

I'm originally from Eastern Long Island (Southold, to be exact) and will be back on the island the week after next (20-26) and will be bringing my gear, hoping to get some dives in while I'm out there. I didn't start diving until after I moved, so I have no idea where the good places to dive...

I don't have mine attached to my 1st stage and leave it in my reg bag until it's time to pack up.

No kidding. Small world. I grew up about a mile and a half from the town beach. Two things I forgot to mention. One was the A700 is heavier than every other SP reg except the G250V, and I was a little unsure about that, but the weight is nonexisitent when you're in the water. The other was...

I'll throw in Scubapro Mk17 & A700. Dove them for the first time this weekend and LOVE THEM. Of the few regs I've used, the A700 is the best breathing IMO. All of the others required a little vacuum to crack open (not a lot, and I certainly didn't mind diving with them). I wanted air and it was...

Here's the current location to download the SmartTrack software:

Here's the thing about (most, maybe all) Life Insurance: It's a fraud. If they find out you're a scuba diver, they will rake you over the coals, and then if you did have a diving accident that resulted in your death, they wouldn't pay out anyway. A Friend of mine looked into dive insurance and...

Again, I don't know. I'm as mystified as you are. I was quite surprised when I found I could still sink when I exhaled with no lead in my BC & a full wetsuit. As I said, with the 5mil, the ONLY way I could hold my breath and not sink to the bottom with no air in my BC was with zero lead. ANY...

:dontknow: In the pool when we where trying to get my weight right with a 5mil (wetsuits are medium, BTW), I absolutely could not float with the water at eye level with any lead in my BC (ScubaPro Weight integrated BC) and a full tank. When I let the air out of the BC, down I went, even with a...

No extra weight means no weight at all (other than the weight of the equipment). The instructor that did my pool sessions didn't know how I was able to tread water for 10 minutes. :rofl3:

Couple of points: as one person posted, they can give me a loaner to use while my equipment is being serviced, and in the case of regs and BC's, since they're an authorized service center for Scubapro, they can fix or adjust regs or BC's onsite, or order me a new one if needed. With my Mk17/A700...

Well, everyone's different, but in my case, I think a steel tank would cause me problems. With all gear, 7mm wetsuit, a full AL80 and no extra weight, I sink like a brick. I have two old steel 72's that I chose not to get hydro'd and replace the valves on for this reason.

I agree that it sounds like a reasonable experience. You needed warranty work, and with most things, warranty work is handled by the mfg, not the reseller. If you buy something at WalMart and it breaks while in the mfg warranty, you generally send it back to the mfg. With all due respect, and...

From what I've read, SP doesn't authorize online sales. The transaction supposedly must be F2F. Every online site selling SP regs that I've looked at was not on SP's "authorized dealer" list. You might be able to find a good deal online and there might be no problem with warranty. I'm just...

One thing to keep in mind is I don't think you get the "free parts for life*" warranty if you purchase the reg online. *=With Annual Service

That all depends on the cracking process used. Here in the US, Fluid Catalytic Cracking is more common, and yields more gasoline than other heavier fuels such as jet fuel and diesel. Hydrocracking is much more common in India, Europe and Asia as it yields more heavier fuel and diesel is in...

Not always... My truck will run a 13.xx second quarter mile, puts down over 450HP/800Tq to the ground and will still get 21MPG on the highway. Not to shabby for a 7500# truck, but then it's a diesel :). But the newer GM full size gas trucks/SUV's with AFM will get mid 20's on the highway. I've...

A Friend of mine had a Jeep Liberty and loved it for diving. Worked lots better than the Civic he has now. Get a Liberty CRD and you can get about 30MPG :). I have a Crew Cab Silverado that is fine for diving. Can take up to 4 passengers + driver, all wet gear can ride in the bed and I will be...

It SHOULD have it displayed on the screen. When the smart pro died, it had the service icon and "E6" on the screen. From what I found, "E4" & "E6" usually mean battery.
