If you are buying new from a dealer I would ask how much it would cost to get a conversion so that you can go to din at a later date if you choose to. Now is the time to consider buying the conversion since you are buying a reg set you have some leverage to get the conversion at a better price...

Are you diving solo, and if not what are your future tech buddies diving, and what are your long term goals? Before you spend any money on equipment I would see if I could borrow or rent some gear and a vareity of cylinders to find what you need, the HP130 is not the perfect cylinder for every...

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Both Faber and Pressed Steel made LP 80s that were 2" shorter nthan a Luxfer 80.

"How do I know when I need a single tank adapter?" I have not seen a wing that I thought was worth a darn with out a single tank adapter. You're definately headed in the right direction with the BP/W set up. It's unfortunate the diving community as a whole has not figured out that the BP/W is...

I don't think you can replace a HID bulb with a LED. I believe that you would need a new head assembly for the LED. HID bulbs are available from a variety of sources if you want to go HID. It would help to know a little more about what you nhave and what you want. Several shops can rep[air or...

This topic comes up all the time and the bottom line is that those that want/need to service their own regs usually figure out how to get it done with or without factory help. I believe that if you have never done a reg, and even if you are about to take a course, the Vance Harlow book is a...

If what you do in scuba diving is based on saving money, breaking even, or making money, I might suggest that you move on while you can still afford to. You can't believe all the money I have saved since I bought my haskel. lol....lol...lol!

I prefer the buy once and cry once philosophy. If you are going forward in your future diving ( deeper, cave, wreck) you will likely wind up with a can light at some point. If that is the case and you can afford it now I might buy one now. Remember that you don't have to buy new. If it's not in...

No. Generally you have to ask to see the test reports.

Lots of good choices on the market today. If you are on a budget don't forget the classifieds. I use a Salvo, now Light Monkey, 21W HID and like it a lot. I normally travel by car with the complete light in a gym bag, battery disconnected, and the head in a can cuzzy. One thing to consider is...

What difference does it make if the tank weighs 4lbs more or you carry 4lbs lead? It doesent unless you can offset the 4lbs wewight with other gear you were planning to take along. If you get the neutral tanks, and I own 3 of them, put a large piece of tape on them and mark them with "FILL TO...

The tank to purchase nis the one that you can drag into the water/ boat and back out of the water on your own while providing the gas supply needed and boyancy characteristics that fit your frame. Keep in mind that if doubles are in your future that may effect your decision. Please also note...

With all due respect to all the members of the board, someone needs to ask the OP what they think the purpose of a pony bottle is. Is it for bail out? Is it for back up in case of a poor or lost "dive buddy"? Is it to provide safety during a solo dive? What are the future needs of this diver? Do...

Welcome to scuba. You said, "we have a cottage and a boat right on the lake we want to dive", do we live there or visit on the weekends? If you just dive on the weekends, and considering your lack of expierence I wouldn't recomend buying any new tanks until you have at least tried a few...

If you regularly dive twins the small tank set lets you use the same regulators, wing and back plate in a much smaller package. still keep your redundency, and uses the same skills as any other set of twins. If you need to haul your gear a long ways on your back it is nice to have a lighter load...

Detroit Mud Puppy on this board is a manufacturer of tank bands and back plates and has made several sets for the Faber lp 45cf cylinder and standard manifold. On flea bay his company name I think is technical solutions and he does list product there. There are other sources of bands from...

It also depends on if the gas supplier can pump to high pressure. If you are going to gas blend for yourself and do not own a compressor or Haskel then the LP cylinders can be helpful. If you are buying you want something that you can carry, has the correct trim, and can be reused as your diving...

Does this attach to a standard back plate? What size is it? How do you keep the wing from tacoing? Got a photo of your setup? Thanks.
