    scubapro d400 versus s550

    Personally like the S550 better than the D400 and I have both. The D400 is very easy to breathe when properly tuned, get it done by someone that doesn't know the reg and you've got problems. The S550 is basically an S600 without the knob which you can buy and have installed if you choose...

    Replacement cumberbun?

    I use an older Scubapro Seahawk. I have a backup but it is missing the cumberbun and I'd like to find one. It's a very simple design so if someone can show me a link to some choices for aftermarket cumberbun's I can identify one that will work. Seems that on the front of the backplate, my...

    Hero3 Black testing underwater

    I'm not so sure about that. I ordered my Hero3 black on Nov 17th. It was supposed to ship on the 26th. No emails, no nothing, on the 8th of Dec. I finally reached a human after spending 5 days trying and over 30 minutes on each call waiting for someone to become free. The first 3 times I...

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    Wow, this thread has grown. Well, I took all the advice I found, crunched the numbers and came up with my new rig. I purchased an Atomic swivel and a 44" primary hose. I also dumped my single pressure guage and picked up a scubapro mini spg on a shorter hose with a lower profile. I'm keeping...

    Hero3 Black testing underwater

    I've been waiting over 2 weeks for mine to show up. Gopro could do a little better on their site to let us who ordered it know when it comes in or even ships. Still only have the email that I got confirming the order. No place to check order status on the site or anything. Good luck reaching...

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    I would never let anyone but the wearer breathe from an Air2.

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    You all have solid points. Jim, I read then re-read your post and Amy did as well. As far as my air2, I carry a spare lp inflator hose in my save-a-dive. I've assended from 130 with my air2 with no issues. It does not feel bulk and I've wore an octo on a neclace before and had it freeflow...

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    Ok, after reading everything I'm going with a longer hose on my primary. As for my Air2. I am married to it. I actually love the thing. I really don't know why more people don't use it. It's easy to maintain and cheap to maintain and I've never had a problem with it. I had some freeflow...

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    Ok, now we are getting somewhere. As for when she'd need to buddy breathe, I know that OOA is supposed to be the only time but I'm a realist and she's newly certified. Moving my primary to a long hose seems like the simple solution but I've no experience with how it will change my profile and...

    Does my rig default me as a "Bad Buddy"?

    My current setup is a Scubapro Seahawk w/Air2. My primary 2nd is on a very short hose. My GF was recently certified and I'm realizing that my short lp hose is not ideal for buddy breathing. So, how should I fix this. 1. longer lp hose to my secondary with swivel? How long? 2. Add an...

    Best LDS in Cave country to get 6AL80's Hydro/VIP for a reasonable price?

    Since I spend a lot of time at Ginnie, I called extreme exposure and worked it all out. Banked 32/36 made it cheaper for me in long run. The place i called was on wells road in orange park. Just don't want to throw stones. I still want to check out Live Oak and Cave Country shop. Thanks...

    Best LDS in Cave country to get 6AL80's Hydro/VIP for a reasonable price?

    I'm pointing no fingers but the Dive shops I grew up with are simply gone. Days of the $2 fill are a thing of the past and I don't think Hydro/VIP is getting harder, just more expensive. That being said, I have recently aquired 6 2003 AL80's 3 catalina's and 3Lux. They all appear in good...

    Anyone use a LED LENSER P7 636837 for diving?

    I was given a brand new one and it's a nice little torch. 200 real lumen and adjustable focus. I took it apart and it's built like a little tank. I'm just not sure how watertight it actually is. Has anyone used one diving and were there any problems using this as a backup attached to my BC...

    Best Anti-Fog for tec divers

    Wow, I thought we were all in this together. Anyway, just wanting to let people know that the brand 500psi is good for nothing at all. Does not work at all. I like baby shampoo and water and spit when I don't have my little johnson and johnson jigger nearby. I once tried the 500psi and I...

    Scubapro hell.... Can u help a guy out?

    Hi there. I have a 97 Scubapro Seahawk BC and I'm missing my elbow. Long story but I'm getting no where with scubapro or any scubapro dealer I've spoken with. They all say, oh, that's the seahawk that was only made for a couple of years and those elbows are no longer made. Here, buy a new...
