My shop guy just had to order the nut, then using the old yoke parts he was able to put together a working converter... I carry it with me when I use any of my Din regs away from home. This should be something they can find easily... I will add that the nut is not cheap and the biggest benefit...

Just getting into it, yes... but my experience has primarily been as a customer only up until recently... Everything I have touted about this thread has been true from day one years ago... I like your idea about freebies and deep discounts. I might have to check into that. So far, I have...

Mostly my own, but also some representative pool regs that they have taken out of service for me to practice on and a reg that has been dedicated to non scuba uses around the shop, they can always tear them back down after I'm done with them...It is slow time of year and they have plenty for me...

Thanks for the catch there TSTORMDIVER I get my info the same place as you... Only I am prone to typos, especially when I try to use the 10 key pad on my crappy keyboard. My statement earlier "Deep diver certification is required to be certified to deeper depths up to 100 feet." was...

Awap, You may be correct under your circumstances... The shop I deal with charges $20.00 per stage, nothing additional for servicing the hoses and accesories... They do charge for computer batteries if needed. Service on a standard set is 60.00. So, if you are paying 100 (OUCH!). and I...

I like the Kenpo, Yoga and Stretching... I do the insanity workouts and have lost 50 pounds. They are both good and both do the job... You need to discover the benefits of either of thesefor yourself. If you folllow the plan on either, you can't fail to see results.

dpaustex... Amen brother... A C-Card is nothing more than a license to learn. devondiver... I too have noticed that discovery show hosts get certified to dive for a show or two. This does not make them divers... I actually have seen a couple of shows where the Shows host was diving extremely...

Look, Here is the deal... You pay the "extra" 2 hundred dollars for what, exactly? Parts kits for life that equal $200.00 in the first 4 years easily. Warranted parts other than service parts as long as the regs are serviced, for life. The added bonus that the local dive shop will go to bat for...

You shoud not need a 90degree bend either way. The 5th portgives you an extra bit of latitude as to how to angle the regs, but at that point does not make much difference. Don't get stuck with the DIR attitude either, as what works, works...

It is possible to have the yolk converted to din adapter and the reg coverted to Din. Example, I had my scubapro MK25 converted to DIN. I then had the yolk peice turned into an adapter with the addition of a single nut. Now I have a DIN reg with a yolk adapter if needed. The yolk adapter...

With the Given: - diving will be 90% tropical (>70F) and will be under 50 dives a year - spend under $500 - Something I can have a while, but good value - Recreational diving only and wet suit only and is somewhat travel friendly. - Given <50 dives a year isn't going to require alot of...

Bappelt has it mostly right... Even though this post is dated, I would like to reiterate that the SSI standards dictate a maximum openwater depth of 60 feet. Deep diver certification is required to be certified to deeper depths up to 100 feet. Anything beyond that depth is now considered...

55 dollars? How the heck did you get it that cheap? I had at least 70 last year.

Seriously!, Items like computers, regulators, anything that your LIFE actually depends on... Get it from your LDS... You might think that it is cheaper on Ebay, etc. but I see horror story after horror story about unwarranted gear when purchased this way. What initialy seems like a deal, can...

Suunto sheilds are held in via the rubber tabs at the top and bottom of the sheild where the shield disappears under the black rubber... the rubber and sheild are very forgiving to flex, so just pull until it comes out... It pops back in the same way with just a little flex in the rubber... If...

Okay... This should not be too dificult... I am a computer helpdesk technician for a Capital City. Let me ask, is the stinger connected via a USB interface cable or a serial cable? If a USB cable, then you should not get "device not found". Have you tried different USB ports on the PC (if...

Thanks... I find that I am averaging about an hour per stage myself (3 hours per regular set of 3)... Just glad to hear that I am not too slow being a noobie. I think my teacher is just too damned good with 30 years plus under his belt. Anyway, thanks for the input... I feel much better about...

Great. I felt like three stages (one 1st and two second) in one hour was a bit rushed... and I refuse to be rushed with things that matter this much. I actually am comfortable with the times you suggest as long as it offers time enough to be complete. I had expected that three per hour was...

Any reg techs out there that can tell me what a good average time to perform an annual service on regulators would be per stage. Before anyone gets on me about it, I am learning under the tutelage of a master. I am not however, convinced that I could ever get fast enough to overhaul...
