we've probably run into each other then. The nice thing about diving on their boat is how many different units are on there at any given time. I'm sure you are already doing so but its an opportunity to hear from the RB divers on what they like/dislike/changed on their units or past units...

... in one picture. This Saturday on Gauntlet we had a Fathom, Prism 2, Kiss Classic, SF2, Revo, XCCR and a set of doubles to boot. Helping each other gear up you get to see all the ins and outs of the different units which is nice. Original plan was to dive the Coyote but due to the wind...

Buoyancy aside some places outside of FL are less willing to cave fill an LP tank. I've never had a problem getting HP fills on HP tanks.

Matt Marcoux (Daybreaker) is focusing on his family right now. He still has the boat and is diving but not running charters. Maybe one day in the future but not now. Its tough diving up here right now. We're down to 3-4 boats running charters consistently from Portsmouth, NH to Boston. Add...

Hey now - don't badmouth the Fathom like that - its more like a Toyota - I can mostly fix it myself and it doesn't have to spend one week a month at the dealer getting fixed!

i know @rddvet as a fathom diver and @macado IRL. Curious why you're going DVS vs a BOV. Is this for the SF2 or Revo? Can't speak at all for the DSV but with golem it seems the way to go unfortunately is to go through some sort of intermediary - in my case Charlie if i need anything for my...

I'm paying ~$250 for a T cylinder of helium right now. Low volume customer with a yearly cylinder lease, regional welding supply company (Maine-Oxy). edit: in New Hampshire, USA

I think the problem is this was how the manufacturer - Halcyon - fixed the issue. It appears they are putting a less than optimized led into the light head as a replacement.

It wasn't any better in the water. It looked washed out and lost its punch which is the main reason I went with the focus. I'll see if I cna get some in water footage this weekend but I can't believe how bad it looks now and how seemingly ineffective it is in low viz water now. I may be in...

Depending on where you're coming from in Georgia, Peacock is a great intro cave since its relatively shallow so you won't hit turn pressure as quickly and usually low flow.

On the expensive side I have a couple of THESE that I was an extremely early adopter for. As in using google translate to talk to the Poles and getting them straight from there. They kick ass in murky New England water and I've traveled all over the world with them and taken them down to 200ft...

Here it is in the night. I'll be honest I'm not in love with the 4 leaf clover look. I hope its better in the water.

I've had my focus 2.0 for a little less than 3 years. Recently my Halcyon Focus 2.0's led burned out during a dive. I contact Halcyon and they warrantied the work - it was pretty seamless. I just got it back and noticed it has a different led type in it. I think it had a cree XML-2 pushing...

tight focus on the focus 2.0

That looks to be a link for a children's wetsuit.

You had mentioned the L8 before and it's also in that article. Seems like it would be totally divable - it looks relatively intact - I'm surprised I never hear of anyone going to it. Maybe the company with salvage rights isn't permitting it? The USS L-8: Mapping and Assessing Rhode Island’s...

Red wasn't on that dive (I think he said he was in NJ that weekend) but I'm making the long haul back down in a couple weeks to dive the Bass and I bet he'll be there. I'll ask. I see Bill about once a year at the SECONN Wreck Symposium so I'll have to ask about it next time I see him. I've...

It was pretty basic - 1 cheap narrow beam lights per side of helmet and 1 wide angle cheapo on the left side as well. I think I got them on amazon or piranha dive's website. The light on my left hand was a Halycon Focus 2.0. This was my first dive in U853 on CCR and turning around coming back...

@AfterDark - maybe you can answer this. In the Wikipedia article for U853 it states that the hull was welded shut by the US Navy to block divers from penetrating. I can't find any truth to that from the people I know or online and there isn't a citation. Any thoughS? I've never seen anything...

So I've been diving for a while but never got around to really filming it ever. Two weekends ago I dove U853 off Block Island through Giant Stride on Priority Too. I figured I'd film it with a new gopro. You can see the some of the video here. Its far from a work of art - no music or...
