    San Diego - HP Steel 100 Tank

    I'm looking to pick up a HP 100 cu.ft steel tank. I'm in San Diego and would love to make a local deal rather than deal with shipping. PM me if you're interested in off-loading your tank. :D

    Scubapro R095 - Black Purge Cover Part Number?

    Does anybody out there know if there's a black purge cover for the 2015 Scubapro R095? I picked one up for use as an octo on a necklace but am not really digging the bright yellow cover. A 2013 schematic guide lists the purge cover part number as 11.330.036 but I'm not sure if that same part...

    Small Car Diving Tips

    The only thread I could find on the subject was from 2006, so I'm starting a new one. I could potentially be moving from my Jeep to a Mini Clubman. The Jeep is killing me on gas and it's seen more beach parking lots than camp sites lately, so I think it's time for a change. My primary concern...

    Upgrade Mk11 to Mk17

    My Mk11 came with a C200 regulator, which means it's got the white plastic trim that Scubapro seemed to think was a good idea at the time. The weekly salt water diving has turned the pristine white into a vanilla-gone-bad kind color. I have to take the reg in for service soon and was speaking...

    UK Light Cannon eLED

    I am selling my Underwater Kinetics Light Cannon eLED dive light. The light in question is just about a year old, with 50 or so dives on it; note that this is the newer LED version, not the older HID version of the Light Cannon. It works perfectly, and cosmetically it is in very good shape...

    Mk11 - Change to black cap/trim

    I have a Mk11/c200 with white trim, like so:. I've had it for a little over a year. It's been a great regulator, but the white trim on both stages is yellowing and getting stained due to my frequent diving in salt water. I'm not usually one to care too much about equipment appearances...

    New TLS350. Major Dampage.

    I am the proud owner of a new TLS-350 and am new to dry diving, and I've got a situation that I'd like some input on. I've got a total of three dives on it so far. After each dive I have been damp. Very damp. The first dive was with an instructor on a drysuit skills dive for the NAUI...

    Light Motion Sola Soft Handle -- Boltsnap Installation

    I picked up a new Sola 800 today and it took me a while to figure out exactly where to put a boltsnap. Turns out that there's a way to route some cave line underneath the plastic that constitutes the mount point for the light. Using a rounded dental tool (or similar brass pick), you can route...

    What's your must-have dive trinket?

    We all love to bash on the guy at the beach who's geared up like a christmas tree. You know the stuff; it sits in the under $15 bin at the shop, and gets pushed on divers as they pick up their certification cards. After the first dozen or so dives, the bulk of it gets shed, but we all have that...

    DUI Drysuit - Is Crotch Cloverleaf Worth It?

    So I am buying a drysuit off of DUI's previously loved list, and it has the options I want except for the cloverleaf patch in the groin area. I dive a BP/W with a happy strap, and I've been told to expect the strap to wear through the crotch material eventually, but that the cloverleaf patch...

    What effect does the tank valve have on air consumption?

    My buddy forgot to fill one of his tanks, so he borrowed one of mine for the second of our weekly dives this week. The first dive (on his tank), his SAC rate was what it usually is. The second dive (on my tank), his SAC was was significantly improved. He got an additional 10 mins (a marked...

    How It's Made - Scuba Regulator

    I was playing around on youtube tonight and found a cool little video outlining the manufacturing process for a regulator. I think it's a slightly older video, for what looks like a Conshelf regulator, and was a fun watch. How Its made - Scuba Dive Regulator - www.ScubaTraveller.com -...

    Was this kosher?

    A buddy of mine told me about a recent dive he went on. He was on a smaller boat with three other people diving on a wreck. One person was essentially a solo diver, so him and the other two formed a loose buddy triumvirate of sorts. Unbeknownst to him or anybody else on the boat, the two guys...

    BP/W Rigging Question

    I've been diving a Halcyon Eclipse rig for about 10 dives now. I really enjoy it, it's been a great upgrade from my jacket BC. However, there's one thing that bugs me, and I think it might be a user error. My issue is this: I have my SPG clipped off to the d-ring on my left hip, in front of...

    Learn me about USIA

    I've started to look into a drysuit as I'm getting to the point where I am frequently blowing bubbles under 100ft of water, and it's cold down there! Being from San Diego, the go-to option is of course DUI. But I've been looking at other brands, namely Scubapro and Bare. I was perusing...

    Closed: Scubapro Mk11/C200 Black Regulator Cover

    I have a ScubaPro Mk11 C200 with white "trim". It looked great out of the box, but after about a year's worth of ocean diving with freshwater rinses after each dive the original is getting stained and starting to yellow. Why anybody would build a regulator with white anything is beyond me...

    Leaking Inflator Assemblies: Overhaul or Replace?

    I got my first BP/W setup yesterday, a used Halcyon Eclipse. It still had the original (recalled) SS inflator assembly on it, so the seller threw in a "used only a couple of times" newer-style plastic housed inflator assembly. I needed to fill up a tank anyways, so I went down to the shop...

    BC Selling/Pricing Advice

    I upgraded to a BP/W setup this weekend, so I'm going to be selling off my jacket BC. Unfortunately, one of the pockets has a sizable tear (it's basically a second opening) where the pocket meets the bladder material, so I'm in a quandry as to how I should proceed. I could try to sew the...
