I used a kit from one2ring off Ebay to change my Favor S battery, the battery was exactly the same as the factory battery that I took out of the computer, not a generic 1/2AA copy from a different manufacturer.

Heck, I'm content to loose 99% of the time... Since it's going to sit in a box for a few months anyway, unless it gets won when the box is getting pretty darn full, then it's not something thats exactly instant gratification and I'm quite happy to wait for something better to show up. What's...

Something that big and heavy... for beach diving I'd want something longer than the BCD so it protrudes out beneath, and fit the bottom with a set of wheels on the boot! dig a retracting handle from the airline trundling baggage and srap that to the top... Just wheel your whole assembled...

You'll have fun :D

Right, Thanks guys :D I'll ignore it, and if I feel like getting a double hose for a Vintage" rig, I'd scan the US Ebay market. Sounds a lot cheaper to pick one up there and have it sent to my friend to post here with the rest of the Ebay oddments i get over the course of a year. I have a deal...

I have a bendomatic deco meter, 70's tank, 70's scubapro depth gauge, 70's fins, old horsecollar BCD with manual inflation and a cork! Just wondering If I should go the whole hog and start collecting a museum exhibit display... I have a 70's Calypso IV as well, but THIS looks more "Old"...

On the political side, Fiji is gettign a bit more iffy since Frankie Bananarama is settling down harder on dissenters.

WHATTHEHELLAREDOGSDOINGINSDIEYAMORON I'm a firm believer in everything has it's place, and everything in it's place... dogs place is outside in a kennel, cats get to come inside... To me dogs are four legged furry tools, whther they collect your ducks (labs and golden retrievers), round up...

03C07 and 11C07 look like Hydro proof dates to me, is the C a little stylised and not really a standard alphabetical C like all the other stamping on the crown? It could be Catalinas' maker/proof hydro mark, like Norris had an N in a diamond and Arrowhead Industrial Services has an A with a...

I have a Norris 3AA2250 tank here, I don't think you'd be wanting to snap it up with NZ to US shipping prices :P I'm thinking of selling my SCUBA kit as I am leaving for a year or more in China, and picking up new kit when I get back. Feel like paying international shipping? :P

Tie it to your anchor and drop the hook in the water... Pull it up and check it's still dry, motor off to a deeper bit, drop the hook again... repeat until it leaks... Would that work?

Lloyds has speciality brokers who DO cover War, Acts of God and Acts of Terrorism :D it's there in their brokerage search menus :D Probably costs more, but you should be able to claim the extra costs over the standard policies against taxes as a business/income related cost. Good luck.

Hmm... trying to remember, but didn't you say at one point you are a Kiwi working for an Aid agency in pakistan? You should be able to get www.1Cover.co.nz frequent traveller or long stay traveller insurance. Otherwise your best bet might be a custom insurance policy by a risk management...

big water sump pump... just dredge the bottom from the dry of your boat

Tax Writeoff?

Dunedin? You mean Christchurch? Had another 5.5 followed by a 6.o today, felt it up here 400Km away.

This is not from a Tech diver, just a curious guy who reads a lot... but you asked disadvantages of Heliox and Trimix... As I understand it, the very small size of the helium molecule relative to the Nitrogen and Oxygen, which are both much further up the periodic table, provides it's own...

I could understand an ordinary pleasure/recreational boat haveing exposed props, but a specialist dive boat kitted out for diving from in a popular dive zone? Surely it would be common sense to install cages over the props as part of the fitting out of the boat?
