Yeah, except I just sold all of my OC gear (3 sets of doubles and so forth in the past year) and not sure I want to re-invest. I guess I could rent or maybe use my BO for side mount? I have all of the regs and so forth still but was looking at putting OC behind me except for teaching and...

I am also interested in cave on CCR. I am heliotrox certified on the JJCCR and also Normoxic trimix certified open circuit. Looking to find an instructor, either IANTD or TDI to do cave. I move to Florida, in the Clearwater area, on Wednesday and looking forward to expanding my diving. I am...

We are going to be on the Spiegel Grove so 130 feet. Dives will be 30+ minutes depending on set-point (probably in the 1.0 - 1.25 PPO range). I dive Lake Erie a lot in a drysuit so I don't think I will get that cold but I am going to be doing the class across the week, for 6 deco dives. I know...

Quick question - Long deco dives in Florida this time of year, 3 mm or 5 mm? I am usually comfortable with a 3mm, but since this will be on a RB (doing a Helitrox/deco class on my JJ), I know the bottom times are going to be much longer than I would normally do on OC tech dives. Most of my OC...

Yes, when I said air, I meant diluent. Sorry, had been a long day. I have had my JJ for nearly 3 years and mine didn't come with one. I have never had a need for one thus far but I wanted to see if it might be something worth investing in.

Did anyone, outside of Europe, add the air MAV on the JJ? I was looking into moving into Trimix on the JJ, as I am Trimix certified OC. Hell the reason I got the JJ was to deep dive. I am just trying to determine if this is necessary or just an add on due to the European standards.

The Aqualung Comfobites is what I had in mind I have been diving them on my Apeks for years.

Anyone out there change their mouthpiece from the standard one on the JJ (or any other for that matter) to something different? I have found that the mouthpiece doesn't feel right and I tend to produce a lot of extra saliva with it. My instructor thought I just wasn't holding it right in my...

A lot of good discussion here. I will stick with the Vandagraph cells for now but may work one of the AIs in the mix to see the difference. I usually do the O2 flush on the way down too but I haven't done any hot drops with mine yet as I am usually diving the great lakes or quarries, so I am...

I need to replace my 3 cells in my JJ. I know that the original ones are Vandegraph and replacement costs are $97 a piece. I can get Analytical Industries version for $79 a piece. Anyone have any experience with the AI branded ones? I know $60 difference is not a huge difference but I could...

Does anyone know what OPVs JJ is using on their US4 Apeks regs? They seem to be preset. The Dil is a standard 10 bar but the O2 is lower set to a max of 7.5 bar. Are these just basic user adjustable ones like the XS scuba ones?

I have a Vytec, purchased May 2007 and has about 200 dives on it. Probably only 10-12 technical dives < 200 feet. During a dive in Lake Erie, I dipped over the starboard side of a shipwreck to sweep around to the stern to see the rudder at about 120 feet or so and the computer totally shut...

Anyone use Sea Dogs for diving? I am going to be down at the end of June and wanted to get a few warm water dives in. They seem to be the only one in the area. I am willing to drive a bit further if there is something better and perhaps with a more regular schedule.

I have been looking at the Petrel for awhile. Might as well wait on the Perdix.

I am doing my internshp right now and it has been rewarding working with people. Pure and simple. I will get discounts from the dive shop which comes in handy with all the equipment being a technical diver, but the real thing is just doing something other than sitting behind a desk that helps...

I am trying to get some of my dive master candidate members to go but they are backing out on me so I am looking for a dive buddy for Gilboa on 5/30. I can do shallow stuff or hit the deep side. I would like to do both so will bring gear for both sides. Just let me know if you are interested...

I signed up for the dive on the Tiger on June 17. Looks like it won't be much to look at but will be better than the mudhole we do training in. Unfortunately it looks like my drysuit with light undergarments will probably still be in order. I asked about the triangle and they don't have...

I will be in Virginia Beach mid-June. I opted to buy a pop up camper and go camping this year instead of go to the Caribbean. I decided to head to Virginia Beach for a week to camp and see some of my family that lives in the area and wanted to also get some dives in if possible. I have only...

Thanks for the help. A large was what I was thinking but have access to buy a couple mediums at a super low price and was considering it.

I lost a lot of weight and have kept it off for nearly 4 years so thought it was time to get a new one. I was going to get a stock suit but not sure whether medium or large. I am borderline in the sizes and I don't have a place to really try one on. I am wearing Fourth Element Artics and...
