    Looking for parts for a Deep Sea Supply wing, broken valve part

    After 15 years but not many dives, I picked up the wing to inspect my gear and these parts snapped off with almost no effort. Everything else looks to be in good condition, I was wondering if anyone knew of a replacement for the threaded plastic part which holds the inflator tube and exhaust...

    Is it safe to add weight plates to my BP/W?

    I'm diving in fresh water with a henderson hyperstretch full 7/5 suit. I have a 5 lb BP and 16 lbs on the weight belt. I expect to do a lot of diving in lakes where I am at the bottom at 60 feet deep or less. I happen to have two weight plates (total 8 lbs) which bolt to the BP, reducing the...

    Mares Pegasus BC, small, no dives, $195 shipped

    I bought two different BCs for my girlfriend, and she doesn't want either one. The first is a Mares Pegasus, size small, with 5 minutes of pool time before she decided she didn't like it. You can buy it online for $265 shipped, so I'm asking $195 shipped. It looks like new and has 5 minutes of...

    Need a few beginner dives on Oahu and Maui

    I'm looking for some dive suggestions for 3 new divers. We're all newly certified and will have time for 1 day (maybe 2) of diving on Oahu and 2, max 3 days on Maui in early march. Not looking to pack them all in, just get out with some friends. We'd all be happy just looking at pretty fish...

    BP/W keeps flipping me on my back- help

    My girlfriend is using a 7mm wetsuit, DSS BP/W with SS plate and Torus 26 wing, and LP 85 steel tank. I think she had 8 lbs in a weightbelt. She feels that she is being pushed down and flips on her back. Any ideas?

    Halcyon 3' SMB, closed circuit or oral-inflate only?

    What's the exact difference? I'm diving wet now, but probably dry in a year. If the closed circuit can be orally inflated anyway (I read it could be) than I should probably get that. Do they both have an over-pressure relief?

    Are Henderson Core Warmers cut larger to go over another wetsuit?

    I'm having trouble getting an answer. Should I order the same size (XL-Long) as my 7/5 Hyperstretch? Should my girlfriend order a size 8 to go over a size 6? Thanks.

    New hose installation, how tight, where to get a torque wrench?

    I'm installing my new SPG+hose (HP) and BC hose (LP) to the first stage, I'd buy a torque wrench if I could find a reasonably priced spanner style I could use on the hose ( I need 40-45 inch-pounds). Or do most of you just "snug it up" to finger tight plus 1/8 turn? I've rebuilt car engines...

    Legal question about regulator warranties in NY, and gray market

    Does anyone know the consumer protection and anti-trust laws in New York regarding warranties? If I buy a gray market regulator will the manufacturer be required to service it under their regular warranty? I know they claim they will not, but some laws say otherwise.

    Which Bottom Timer do you use and where did you find it?

    I've been looking for the uwatec style bottom timer and can't seem to find more than one, so I figure someone might know a good source. Also, is there another style or manufacturer for a good bottom timer?

    Questions about Rock Bottom Gas PLanning, Fundies

    New diver here, trying to go DIR. No dives since OW class. I really felt that there was more to learn than the SSI books told me, so I bought and read JJ's book "Fundamentals of DIR", and the "Dress for Success" book. I like what I read. Obviously Fundies is tought as a class, can someone...

    What's the best Apeks regulator setup for DIR?

    Two of my LDS's both sell Apeks, and I'm wondering which combination I should get. I know the atx50 and DS4 is good, but with the XTX series out now, does anyone have an opinion? I just got lucky and some extra cash came my way, so I can afford their best if that's what I should get. XTX50 and...

    Will a LP 85 Steel tank last for my typical dive?

    Will a Worthington LP 85 Steel tank last for my typical dive? I’ll be using it mostly in upstate NY lakes, mostly “blowing bubbles” in the local lakes during the summer. Probably lots of time at 30’, probably not more than 60’ except for a few trips to the St. Lawrence to view wrecks. I like...

    Opinions on a weight system for a BP/W?

    I'm looking into my first set of gear and I'll probably get a BP/W (likely the DSS with Pro-fit, SS plate, but still looking) and a steel 85 LP tank. I've looked at the DUI weight harness, weight belts of nylon, rubber or neoprene, the Dive Rite 16 and 32 weight integrated add on pockets, hard...

    Should a BP/W be my first BC?

    My girlfriend and I just got certified last fall and have no dives since then. I learned on a weight integrated jacket BC but I've been reading lots of threads here and reviews in Scubadiving magazine about Back-inflate BCs and the BP/W setup. I see a lot of people switch to a BP/W and...
