Currently using a cyklon 300 2940 1st stage (circa 1975) with a G1/8-UNF7/16 adapter for the LP hose QUESTION: Is there a 90 degree adapter (elbow?) that can connect a G1/8-UNF7/16 adapter to the LP hose? (IE 1st stage>G1/8-UNF7/16>RT angle adapter>LP hose) GOAL: to streamline and lower the...

just finished a quick 5 day trip with LU and Jeremy Anschel, Javier, Ricardo, and andres: we have only used LU for last 7 years and their service and expertise couldn't be better ; great boat ; coming back for 10 days in oct; can't wait

Rig: serviced 1st and 2nd stage cyclon 300 ( circa 1974)/ octo scuba pro 2nd stage from MK VII( also circa 1974) Cyclon hose rated to 508 psi/ octo hose rated to 400psi ( both hoses new) Question: Poseidon dive shop service guy ( seems very knowledgeable) says my octo is not " rated" to handle...

I am trying to select another pair of fins since one of my royal blue atomic splits was "eaten" buy a luggage conveyor on a recent trip; I know atomic makes 2 "types" of split fin: the "lightweight high energy compound" (e.g as smoke on the water or red color fins) vs the "standard heavier...

ryan kenney: I hope u can help me: I am in a serious time crunch: I had our (2) AA B2's serviced 4 months ago ( just standard 1st and 2nd stage service kits); once serviced, i picked up the regs and put them in their reg cases in the closet; today, I hooked each up to a tank to check for leaks...

Won't have my usual fins for upcoming dive trip- rather than quickly run out and buy another set of fins ( I am looking at a few diff models) I was thinking I'd just use theirs: they tell me they have SEAC open heel fins; anyone ever use these? For me, any fin will be fine for a week, but I am...

bought a red plastic faceplate for my wifes cobalt (to match her red atomic mask, splits and B2 2nd stage: don't ask); I thought it would be easy to "pop off" the black cover and put the new red cover on, however it seems to be a little more snug than I anticipated; rather that force it, i'd...

does anyone know where I can get the 2 stainless steel springs for a cyklon 300 (1975) first stage? I recently had my cyklon reworked because I want to start using it again as my backup (primary is atomic B2); I used this reg for years and it always performed flawlessly; the work was done by a...

what IS THE TOTAL COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE TRANSPAC XT AND THE VOYAGER WING (35 LBS LIFT)? I assume the transpac xt is comfortable for women? I am looking to standardize my and my wife's equipment (have already done so with regs, computers,etc)- makes things a lot easier thanks

1. re: B2 high pitched squeal on inhalation (i.e. "the harmonic reasonance between the spring, piston and o-ring")- has there proven to be a sure-fire cure for this? I have read the other threads that suggest : flipping the spring or replacing the piston and spring or that "proper" lubing of the...

I have scanned other threads and websites and am really getting some conflicting reports on the "good" vs "bad " times to dive palau with respect to weather; November, so far, seems to be "in between" the best and worst times to go; I assume no matter when you go that a daily rain shower is to...

forced to go this route in sept; plan to have 2 carry-on and two checked but may need a med sized third checked: is this allowed as long as u pay the $3 plus tax per pound over 44lbs? what about a small light weight bac pac in addition to the carry-on? do they hold u to the 11# weight limit on...

first, let me say i am only vaguely familiar with the force fins of today (i had a pair MANY years ago - got lost somehow when we moved from miami); BUT i do remember how, during the power stroke, they distributed the stress (albeit minimal) of fining over the upper front portion of the foot and...

so, we are looking to buy lights again - after perusing what's available, i have the following observation/question: if the objective is to be able to see (in holes or at night) and more lumens means more brightness, then why would anyone buy a light with 250 lumens when so many lights with 900...

background: my wife and i have and love our atomic cobalt computers; we want a backup computer (e.g.oceanic BUD): small, effective, etc. Question #1: compatibility, comparability,algorithm similarity: for additional safety's sake, would it be better if each computer were on different...

i see that some lights indicate their "watts" and others their "lumens"; how do you compare the two when trying to decide on brightness? which is a better indiction of relative brightness? thanks

anyone remember this piece of equipment? had one - don't know what happened to it; was very effective (thery claimed - and rightfully so - that it could be detonated by striking a suspended tennis ball; is it marketed at all anymore and if so, under what name? thanks

time to go back! 2 trips in '12 for a total of `3 weeks - like many, I/we are addicted and are in dire need of our fix! we are going may 25 thru june 4; staying at either hotel coz or fiesta americana (depends on who goes with us); we typically see other scubaboard friends while there (rich...

hello - on a recent trip to coz (with my new zeagle bc - which i love), i experienced on, several occasions, (before entering the water) the tank slipping thru the bands; almost like the straps weren't long enough (we were using 120 cu.ft.steels); i have loaned my bc to a friend so i don't have...

my wife and i are attending an anesthesia meeting at atlantis and need advice on a rental car agency to use; diving with stuart dso all okay there; looked at all the "usual" suspects but saw virgo - anyone dealt with them? prefer to give my money to local businesses but don't want to be taken...
