    Their typo has been there for well over a year. If they can't catch that in a year.......? Everyone takes their site down periodically for maintainance....or protection from hacker attacks. Scubapro site is UP....just went there! Gotta go now.

    As I said, regulator is spelled "reguloater" in the dry valve technology section of the Aeris website. I just noticed that it is also spelled wrong in the dry valve technology section of the OCEANIC website as well! Didn't see Aeris mentioned anywhere for regulators in Oceanic's 2005/2006...

    Just An Afterthought: Have Any Of You Noticed That Aeris Has The Word "regulator" Spelled Wrong On It's Website!!!!(dry valve technology page)(reguloator) It's Been Spelled Wrong For Over A Year! They Can't Correct A Typo In Over A Year? They Can't Even Spell Regulator And I'm Supposed To Buy...

    Trini: I wasn't saying all islanders are rip offs. I was charter member of UNEXSO/Grand Bahama/Freeport/Lucaya before you were born. I was just relating a few experiences. There are good and bad people everywhere! Thank you so much for your "left behind" story. We need more divers to...

    APEKS: British Navy uses 'em! U.S. Navy has a few! Other World Navies use 'em! AquaLung distributes 'em. Recommended by BSAC What more can one HONESTLY say? I mean, c'mon, really? For forty years I have watched dive...

    You're right, but it is A litmus test. The market is a darwinian beast. It gets rid of the weaker players. Ever check out "alibaba" world trade website? (Forbes mag top rated) Go there and type in SCUBA! Half a dozen no name Chinese companies selling "knockoffs"! Cheap! Seriously! I was...

    No, I'd drive a Mercedes Benz. Mercedes Benz=First to drive (had one, caused too much envy/friends got cold/nasty) ("what are you doing, dealing dope now?") (Volvo almost identical but slower and safer/less "flash") (older used ones better value than Toyota Corolla) Aqua-lung=First...

    Newbie Nitrox question; affects ventilatory rate?

    See section 3.2.4.1. on page 3-5 of NOAA Diving Manual/4th ed./2001 "Blood Transport of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide".

    Teen Scuba Camps

    Seacamp was designed for 'budget teen dive camping". They used to have scholarships, reducing cost to zero, other than transport to Miami for Greyhound to Big Pine. OK...it's not Broadreach....but it's got some of the best coral reef diving around....or used to. The living accomodations are...

    I Still Get Nightmares!

    Hey Marco I grew up in Lauderdale/50's-70's. Lotsa 1st/2nd reef dives/Baha's/Big Pine etc. Broward was the second NAUI outpost(Dive safety through education) Who was this "older" diver who was just tagging along?(guy who "drowned") Was he nagged into going by a friend desperate for a...

    I never said Ferarri wasn't a good reliable product. I just said Volvo was safer(and it is). You started the Ford thing. Trinigordo started the Ferarri comparison thing. ("will your Volvo get you laid"?)(vulgar & stupid) An Atomic regulator will get you laid? (I'm buyin' stock in that...

    My split fins are Nature's Wing licensee/Aqua Lung. I am aware of this. I believe the original Cousteau-Gagnan patent was a licensing deal. The more things change, the more they stay the same. BTW, I haven't and won't mention any organization names as far as recommending or...

    The only things "new" that I see are: 1)Flow through pistons instead of diaphrams(the odds of a diaphram bursting are about the same as the odds of your car steering wheel coming off in your hands) (every flow through piston (oem) 1st stage on the market has had a recall!) (just...

    I never said that the only thing was safety. I have been a risk taker all my life. I just like to maximize the odds in my favor. I have had several smart-a friends killed way before their time in high speed sports cars. I don't know any of the reviewers personally. I just know pro...

    If I should die while diving.

    There is no death, only TRANSITION to a different "realm". I can't "prove" this, just as I can't "prove" I dreamed about being a sultan in a harem last night. For further reference see PICTURE: POLTERGEIST/MGM/1982 If I should die while diving....better than being in a 757 crash...

    Been to the pub, Trinigordo? My WIFE takes care of the "laying".....my car has no say in the matter. (She does suspiciously like my Bertram, however. Hmmm?) My Volvo will go 140mph/280kph...speedometer says so.(only had it up to 120, however.) You are more likely to be killed DRIVING...

    "Everyone" agrees? Coulda fooled me! For some strange reason my intuition tells me you spent your money on one or more Atomics. If Atomics are best, how come I don't see the working pro divers using them much? (these guys make $100,000+ a year so money isn't the reason.) How come I...
