I guess when you think about it, it is not too surprising that so many of us have had the surgery (mine was a micro pouch – a variant of an open R&Y). I had it 2 ½ years ago, lost a significant amount of weight, and have been happily pushing the limits, with my Dr.’s blessing, ever since. The...

Uncle Pug and Darlene, I am in the "just playing with it" stage, and I will be taking the blending course this winter. I did follow Pug's advise and build in the ability to do continuous Tri-mix blending when I constructed the mixer, but I am just trying to gain an understanding of the...

Thanks to the wonderful information Ihave gleaned from posts on this board, and in Vance Harlow's super Oxygen Hacker's Companion, I have built a continuous mixer (knew I could find a use for that OxySpy) to use with my Max-Air 35. Now, the question I have is where can I find the math that...

I have been watching a spate of submarine-related shows on the Discovery Channel and PBS, and I was wondering this: When the Captian says "Take 'er down to 150 feet." where are they measuring the depth from? Thanks!

My little card is a bit too short, and unless I almost tie it in there with the wrist bands, it will pop out. Anyway, I had the opportunity to do two deco dives with it over the weekend and I found the computer to be very impressive. The dives were no big deal, just 133 and 134, but with...

I have been reviewing the thread on the HS Explorer and the VR3 from a couple of years ago. Does anyone have any new thoughts about the HS Explorer? Has anyone used the RGBM on several dives, and what do you think about it? I think I am convinced that deep stops are the way to go, but would...

GAP started giving me an out of range error. Uninstalling the software does not fix the problem, so the culprit has to be a corrupted DLL or OCX. Since the software is not supported, does anyone know whay files it installs in the system directory? Thanks!

At the risk of yet another flame, I have the wings and like them just fine. They are well made, tough, kind of minimalist, and they do what they are supposed to do.

Someone posted a link to a discussion of the + rating of LP Steel tanks, and the link stated that, essentially, once a plus always a plus. Does anyone recall the actual link, and did the discussion have any authority? (Could I use it to convince my local fill guy to put in the extra fizz?)...

All this proves is that you recieved your socialization and interpersonal skills at the feet of Torquemada. Tell you what, I've never measured the distance and I bet you haven't either. So, before you start calling people liars, how about I do the measurement comparing an Abysmal BP to the...

I agree wholeheartedly. It is easy to see students "sneaking" over the wall at Gilboa to get in a 100' dive without redundant anything, and with the buddy awareness of a tadpole. It surely is not Mike's fault, there are warnings all over, comprehensive waivers are signed, deep dive plans must...

Here's a photo of the Abysmal BP/wings setup. I like the slot for the lower tank band bolt.

I have an Abysmal BP/Wings setup and couldn't be happier with it. I got the large size, 'cause I am. :) You will find that the BP is made to nestle your doubles about 1/2 inch closer to your back than most other makes. This is good for your trim, but watch out for the possibility of those...

Does anyone know where I can get a Beuchat or Sopras Y-Valve? I would like to get one big LP tank for when I don't feel like horsing about doubles, and H-Valves seem to take forever to turn on or off. Thanks!
