I'm looking for somebody that can help get our Davey working correctly again. I believe that an untrained operator either fried the 4th stage output valve, or possibly the piston itself by letting it run at full pressure against a closed head for well over an hour. Any shop in a 300 mile...

Our backup/mobile compressor is a Davey, that until very recently would pump up to 4300 PSI when needed, and would fill 3500 psi without even breathing hard. Now it can barely hit 2800. Here's what happened, what I've done to try and fix it, and a request for help. It went off site to...

Hey Gang, The shop I manage is going to be setting up a new workshop / fill station and I'd like some guidence on the best way to set up and configure our air bank. I'm going to have 12 4500psi tanks available to work with. I believe that they are "T" tanks, they are 52 inches appx...

Hey Gang, Just picked this up (mainly for curiosity value) and am trying to figure out exactly what it is. It was billed as "US Divers / Aqualung" on ebay. Now I'll admit that the bottom of the first stage look a lot like a Conshelf, but as for the actual model both I and the owner of the...

I've got a helo2 (out of warranty) that has decided that it no longer wants to go into data-transfer mode. I know the cable is good since I've tested it with another Suunto computer on the same PC and it worked just fine. I've also tried an entirely different cable with the same results...

Hey gang, The shop owner where I work want's to put some type of a containment system in place at the fill station. I'm thinking of something like a large wooden box full of sand, with individual sleeves for the tanks to slip into vertically. The sand layer would be tall enough to come to...

Hey Gang, POLL QUESTION AT TOP OF PAGE Need your help on settling a discussion on the best way to fill a scuba tank that I'm having with another person at the shop. Now we're not talking 'Wet vs Dry' or over pressurizing a tank. It's more about the mechanics. The setup we have is 8...

Just wanted to see if what I think I know passes the "SB" test. Things that would make a good cold water second would be things like a metal body, metal air tube inside, and often a finned heat exchanger where the hose mounts to the body. All of these are to help bring heat from the water...

Just got a Zeagle 50d first stage (yoke) for 45 bucks off of ebay. Externally it looks like it's in good shape, a few cosmetic flaws, but nothing outside what I could consider normal wear and tear. Haven't had a chance to put it on the test bench yet, maybe get that done on Saturday. Even...

I've kept hearing how great split fins are, how they make it so much easier, how I'll love them forever once I try them. Yea, not so much for me. I have been diving a set of Scubapro Novas that I love. I can flutter, frog, pivot, stop and position myself without thinking. They are easy on my...

I'm rather pleased with myself. I started off with a Dive Rite 1208 First and a 2015 balanced adjustable second stage I got off of ebay. (supposedly had been serviced and was in good condition). I think that the seller was a bit "optimistic" regarding their condition. :eyebrow: The 1208...

Hey Gang, I'm learning equipment repair, and need the SERVICE manual for the Dive Rite RG3500 Second Stage. Dive Rite has taken the service manuals down from the public part of the their web site, the usual places don't have it (Scubatoys, Frogkick). I suspect that I could get it done...

Help Identifying Some Dive Rite Regs (Reg 2 of 4) Reg 2: This one I don't have a guess on, but the body is has a small hole (not designed) in the threaded area where the cover retaining ring screws in. IF by some chance Dive Rite has any old bodies in stock, or if somebody here has one, I'd be...

Help Identifying Some Dive Rite Regs (Reg 3 of 4) Reg 3. I think these (I've got 2 of them) are 1215 octopus regs. They are just a simple poppet valve, no diver adjust on spring pressure, and a simple dive / predive that looks like it either directs an air stream toward the diaphragm or down...

Help Identifying Some Dive Rite Regs (Reg 4 of 4) Reg 4: I think these (have 2) are 1208 first stages. 4 LP ports, rotating turret.

Hey Gang, I'm in the process of learning Equipment Repair at my LDS, and as a project I got some used regs off ebay and other sources. I need to positively identify them so I can order the kits to rebuild them as part of my training. I'm posting this as 4 threads, one for each reg...

Hey gang, Just got a used Dive Rite 2010 second stage off ebay. Here's the info off the listing, I've hidden the name of the shop that serviced it, but will be contacting them. Dive Rite RG 2010 Yellow Adjustable Second Stage Serviced December 2014 at <<Redacted>> Breathes great...

Hey Gang, Going to Vortex with the LDS (they have a batch of OW / AOW students to certify, and the local quarry is about 45* right now). I'm looking forward to it, any advice / suggestions? I'm NOT a cave diver, some people have talked about going down to the big lit room at 115 ft, (they...

Been off the board a while due to one thing and another, and just wanted to share my observations and experiences (not my experience ;) ) after diving for 6 months. A little background, I first got certified back in the early 70's, but never did anything with it after that. Those of you who...

Hey Gang, Have a question, this seem like a good idea to me, which always makes me want to triple check it. :) I need to determine my SAC rate so I can start to do effective dive planning. Right now it's more in the "We all jump into the quarry, swim around a while, and when somebody...
