    silicone disc in dump valve

    I took one of my dump valves apart on my Triple-L (ScubaL) Libra BCD jacket to flush the inside. I lost the silicone disc that actually makes the seal. It's a clear silicone disc, 40mm in diameter and about 1/8" thick. It's a very pliable clear silicone. Do any other manufacturers use these? I...

    State Police Poaching Lobsters

    Okay, where's the moderator? Can we move this thread to the "Bash the Cops" forum? How about if you just file a complaint with the proper authorities? Then again, I guess that wouldn't be as much fun. How about if we fire 'em all and you can recruit all their replacements right here in this...

    clearing mask harder at depth?

    I think this is a bad habit. By pulling on the bottom of the mask to allow water and exhaled air to escape, there's a good chance that you're going to initially flood the mask. And if all you want to do is get rid of a couple ounces of water, you've made the problem worse. And if you have to...

    Proper postioning of first stage on tank and BC

    I assume that's DIR. I am wearing my primary over my right shoulder and my octopus under my right arm and clipped to D ring on front of BC. I was thinking about using this bungee neck strap method on my primary since it's not lashed in any other way. Does anybody have any experience or comments?

    Triple-L BC's and Products in general

    I bought the Triple-L Libra BC a few weeks ago. It replaced my Scubapro Classic stabilizing jacket (more than three times the price of the Libra) which I've always found to be comfortable and functional. I picked the Libra because of its very similar design. The construction of the Libra is...

    Proper postioning of first stage on tank and BC

    I assume you're talking about your primary second stage that you bungee around your neck? Is this a DIY bungee? I have seen some that look like they're made from surgical tubing. What is the specific design that everybody is using?

    Modifying Wetsuit

    Bandito, Was that at the public access to Cape Neddick (Nubble) Light that you dove? Do you need a town permit to dive there now? I had posted this in one of your other threads.... how do you find the one piece suit for our Maine cold waters? I have had a two piece for years and was...

    Please help...

    Cliff, Off topic from your original post, but I have a Maine cold water question. I've always dived a two piece, sometimes with regular pants, sometimes farmer john. How do you like the one piece? Do you wear any other neoprene underneath (e.g., shorty)? Does your one piece include...

    The great big, all-inclusive Leisure Pro note

    I bought a piece of Scubapro equipment from Leisure Pro. It did not come with any warranty certificates from Scubapro. It did come with a certificate from Leisurepro that says that they will extend the same warranty as the manufacturer would have. Scubapro offers a lifetime warranty but of...

    Sausage SMB flotation

    How do SMBs function across different manufacturers? Do they all remain horizontal on the surface unless there is downward pulling on the attached line? Does anybody have a creative way of having the buoy remain vertical without a diver having to tend it?

    I have an Aqualung Conshelf XII regulator. The first stage has three ports. One that has my pressure gauge attached to it is stamped HP. Two are not stamped. One is for my primary second stage. The other is for the BCD fill/AIR II. How do I know which ones are LP or HP? Which devices have...
