    Bauer Junior / P21 ; Fittings?

    $65 on eBay Parker advertises it for breathing air if used with 10CN, 4CN, then adsorbent media. 4CN is the finest grade they offer (0.01 micron), so I'm a little worried as to how fast the filter will clog. It's a synthetic glass fiber like media? Not sintered bronze like you usually see.

    Bauer Junior / P21 ; Fittings?

    I figured it out. Inlet fitting for the P21 / P0 is 1/4 BSP (british parallel thread w/ o-ring). I removed the fitting from the filter housing, and put it back on the hardline without the filter in place. Then, I attached a 1/4 BSP-F to 1/4 MNPT fitting. From there, I have: Double NPT female...

    Bauer Junior / P21 ; Fittings?

    Does anyone know what size the fittings are for the aftercooler outlet, and the inlet & outlet for the P21? I imagine they're metric, but I'm not sure what size. I'd like to duplicate the "Yachting" model and add a coalescer and maybe another small tower (AA or 13X) before the P21.

    14' RIB for diving Inland Lakes in Wisconsin???

    Aquos are junk. I would HIGHLY advise purchasing a used Zodiac / Avon product. You will find quite a few of them in the Great Lakes region for sale. My FC470 is type C inshore rated (Force 6 winds , up to 2 meter swells). If you purchased a boat like a Zodiac Futura, Classic, Grand Raid...

    How do companies sell their gear to stores?

    Apeks is distributed by Aqualung in the USA. Aqualung requires you to be a brick & mortar shop. Mares, I'm not sure. But the Scubapro brand myopic rule I think died. They usually only have one rep for a 200-300 mile territory. Sometimes a larger radius. They tend to hire new reps from...

    How do companies sell their gear to stores?

    I think they've changed policies. That was the 90s when they first implemented that.

    Name these regs! Please....

    The SEA is a good 1st stage. It was the predecessor to the modern day Titan and Legend regulators. The Aquarius is a piston 1st stage. It's a good workhorse regulator for shallow depths.

    How do companies sell their gear to stores?

    A regional representative walks in to your store and hands you a catalog. Usually they bring samples with for you to inspect. The opening order varies manufacturer to manufacturer, as little as $500 cost...the highest I've seen is a $10,000 cost. Sometimes a discount is applied to all items...

    Dives You Regret

    I was diving solo with a mild sinus infection... I could still breathe out of my nose okay, so I figured I was good to go. Did a 40 minute dive at a max of about 50 ft. I found a couple of nice bottles. As I came up to do a safety stop, it felt like someone was applying vice grips behind my...

    Tiny Doubles and Tech question

    Double LP72s are fantastic... the older ones are a little thinner wall, so the overall weight isn't bad. However, they're neck/valve heavy. I have to add a 5 lb trim weight at the tank back to get them to trim out. Just thrown a camband on with a 5 lb weight, then shift it towards the...

    Berating an "Instructor" on a dive boat. How should I have handled differently?

    You're at least 63% smarter than divers who dive with no redundant air supply! ;)

    Berating an "Instructor" on a dive boat. How should I have handled differently?

    PADI if I remember correctly: For OW certified wreck divers, you have to stay within 60 linear feet of where you entered. So if the wreck is 30 ft deep, you can penetrate 30 feet in to the wreck. You must stay in the light zone. It's a slippery slope that I personally do not encourage...
