    So I had an issue with my Aeris Manta dive comp and sent it in but it appears USPS lost it in transit and can't find it two weeks after it was supposed to arrive at Oceanic so I'm probably going to be needing a new dive comp and need to order it no later than next Monday. It needs to be nitrox...

    Dixie Divers Sopras Sub 30LB BP&W

    I've looked around on here and elsewhere online and still can't find much addressing this set up directly. I'm looking for basic BP&W set up and for $250 it is interesting and as long as the wing and backplate are fine I can put on a different harness easily enough or just make my own from...

    Luxfer AL80 from 6/88?

    Well took in my dad's old tank to get a hydrostatic and the guy took one look at the brand and date, told me he wouldn't fill it even if it passes inspection and neither would local dive shops. I asked him and he said the Luxfer aluminum used was a poor alloy and prone to failures, when I looked...

    PADI Medical Release, what makes for deferral?

    I'm going to be going for PADI OW in the next month but one of my concerns is the medical release form. I know it is pretty standard for a physical form but this has an emphasis on diving so my concerns jump to the fact that I have roughly 1&1/4 lungs after I had 3/4 of my right lung removed...

    Hello all from Rolla, MO

    Hello all, I'm new to the board and not even certified yet, but should be by the end of June. I decided to go for certification because my roommate starting June 1st is already OW certified and I figured it would be fun for the summer to make a couple diving trips. Another big reason is my dad...
