    Neck/Back Pain & Diving

    thanks guys, cbm32, I had another friend that dives all the time tell me the same thing about being down under the water at 30ft or more. he says that the pressure "pushes everything back in place" and he feels good for a couple of days after diving. He's got fused vertebrae and even has an...

    Another great experience with Beaver Divers

    I just got the last package today from Beaver Divers. I bought a BCD and a bunch of toys from Casey and had a great experience. His ease to work with and persistence to make everything right so that I received the equipment I needed to get me in the water was above and beyond what our local dive...

    This looks like it's going to be fun

    I watched it last night on PBS and thought "What a great idea". I'd read about the Vandenburg before, but had no Idea that they were sinking other ships. Way Kewl! oops, It was a different organization and show I watched. The one I'm thinking of sunk 3 ships off the coasts of Florida.

    If backplate/wing systems are so good, why do people sell them?

    No apologies needed. It did help the thread and will hopefully help others using the "search" feature. I'm not sure who Nereas is. since I'm a newbie to the forum. Thanks again everyone for the clarification on BCD's

    If backplate/wing systems are so good, why do people sell them?

    Well the Mod's changed the name of the thread, and it's not the I would have posted the question. I like the majority of the responses though, and I feel that they are right when they say that BP/W's are bought and sold by people that are more interested in the sport and always looking for...

    If backplate/wing systems are so good, why do people sell them?

    Is this just overthinking, or am I missing something. I've been looking for a BCD to fit my large body size and have been through the classifieds here almost everyday. Some say backpack/wings is the way to go. Others say Traditional BCD. So why is it that most of the BCD's in the classifieds are...

    Wetsuit for bigmen

    I'm 6'1" and 310lbs. I found Akona to be a good fit. I was 336lbs when I bought it and it fit good. It's a little loose now, but still fits ok. I really don't need a wet suit here in the summer, and went with a shorty. I think it was $110 new.

    BCD Sizing

    I'm looking for a BCD and have used a Seaquest in a 2xl. I've tried a couple on at my LDS, but was wondering if certain brands run larger than others? Can an XL BCD fit depending on brand?

    Buying Used Regs

    Thanks for the insight ZKY. A guy I met has two sets of Scubapro regs with 109's and Mk5 first stages. They both have octos, but I'm not sure what they are yet. One has a dive console with computer, and the other has just gauges and compass. He's asking $175 for everything. He's in his late...

    Buying Used Regs

    Thanks for the info herman,GinoB, Divemaster Dennis, and Jim Lapenta. I completely understand the "Life support" thought, but money is money, equipment is rebuildable and cost effective if you get it for the right price. There are many pawn shops within a 50 mile radius of me, and since I live...

    Buying Used Regs

    I've been researching used regulators and have seen all makes, models and conditions. One thing I've noticed on a few regulators, first and second stage, is that they are all scratched up. What would cause all of the scratches on the regulators? Is this a sign of poor care, or normal wear and tear.
