I have a bit of an issue with my 1st stage Din wheels coming undone, probably once every 6 months or so. I am meticulous about not turning the regs when on the tank. I was wondering if anyone has this issue or if it's just my dumb luck. I've torqued to spec and then some and no matter what I do...

Had what started to seem like an interesting conversation with a buddy yesterday on the dock about diving air vs diving nitrox "all the time". He made the comment that his buddy dives nitrox all the time even on dives where it wasn't needed because it makes him feel better. He said his buddy...

So I tried to download my latest dives today in Subsurface from my Perdix AI. It downloaded 14 dives. I might have 4 or so dives since I last downloaded them. The dives that are false are all goofy. Any idea? Maybe a pressure sensor issue? I dove today and it seemed to work fine. Also should...

So I'm fine admitting when I'm wrong and make mistakes. I think we all have "brain farts" underwater. Why I decided to be exceptionally stupid on this particular day is beyond me... just one of those days I suppose. It does not help at all that I only got about 3.5 hours of sleep the night...

Planning to take the family (6 divers, 1 daughter in law and her baby) to either of the 2. I just want something a little adventurous, nice leisurely dive. I see there are water taxis and there are guided "tours". Are the guided tours really needed, or would a water taxi be fine? Also.. I see...

Well, it finally happened. I guess the tanks rolled around in the truck or someone let them fall over (both kids swear that never happend). I have 2 HP 3500 valves that are slightly out of round, I dont think there's anything I can do? Happened between now and my last oyster dive 2 weeks ago...

I tore my compressor apart for some maintinence. I've been meaning to do it for a while. Everything (to me) looks pretty good except for the top of the 3rd stage cylinder. Per the post linked below, Iain said the 3rd stage is made out of hardened steel. What can I do (if anything) to fix this...

Good day all, I came across a good deal and I'd like to pass the savings to anyone that wants one? $450 shipped anywhere in the continental US. Saves you about $100 and shipping included. Let me know. New, never wet, never out of the box. Like new new. I know these are not top of the line...

I dive NE.. I have come to love a good milk crate. Huge fan of the slightly longer rectangle shaped ones. I have some ideas how I would like to to incorporate some bungee for fins on the outside and someone mentioned "all thread" inside to clip everything to.. might do that. Anyone else have...

DGX lists them for $2.50, which would be fine if it wasn't another $8 in shopping. Not knocking DGX, order from them all the time. Just can't swallow $13 for .05 cents in o rings. Anyone know what size to get? They're listed as 3C-9104. Does that correlate in any way? Mine are excruded beyond...

I read through a few threads, but most pertain to RB's. Yesterday I was using my Analoxii O2 analyzer and the reading was @ 8.2... way off. Tried to calibrate it but it really didn't do anything. Tried removing the battery and plugging back in and resulted in the same reading. Battery was good...

I haven't written any trip reports in a while and I think NJ gets overlooked by a lot of people. It's a little colder and darker then most people would prefer... but it is pretty magical if you're up for it. I try to get out there at least once a month if weather cooperates (so it's a 50/50...

So I've been running 2 grey transmitters for a while and had yet to have any interference until this past Monday. I would have thought that they would have just dropped out, but that's not at all what happened. It started with one "no comms" flashing on one but between the flash would be the psi...

I am having a bit of a dilemma. Quick background, I dive pretty much LP85's and HP100's year round. I contracted Covid in Dec of 2021 and watched my SAC go way up and just thought that I had some type of permanent lung damage. Looking back on it it's around the same time that I was primarily...

Just another example to NEVER use anything to buy stuff except PayPal Goods and Services (or equivalent). Seller said he had 2 transmitters for sale so I jumped. At 1st wanted to use Zelle, then PP Friends and Family. I insisted on PP G&S (I also ate the PP charges so he would get exactly what...

I've searched a good bit, even reached out to a few people that look like they've done it on FB. Anyone do it or have any insight? There's a video of an old bridge and I read that under the bridge is 45'-60' deep. I'd like to check it out. Will be there this weekend, but not sure if the Mrs...

I would think the highlights would be bank bottles and the compressor. I would love to go and get a hand cart but I'm busy this Saturday (if anyone is going and they look nice and you want to bid on it for me let me know!!). It's been a few years since I've been there, but she had a lot of...

Might be a long shot but the battery cover on my kids Aeris XR2 is shattered and it was slowly leaking into the battery compartment. Liluckily it still works, but now I'm in need of a battery cover. Someone out there has to know of or maybe even have one of these pucks lying around? He just...

I know it's a long shot. I have a pair of Deep 6 5mm rock boots and really like them. They are size 12 which fits but they're really a size too small. Anybody have a set of 13's and need to go smaller, want to trade.. or maybe you just want to get rid of them all together? If this is the...

Not sure if this is the right section.. so please move if needed. Yesterday I got a small cut in my showa 720's, wasn't a show stopper but I could definitely feel my thumb going numb pretty fast. I used some aquaseal at the SI to seal it (put on the inside and the outside). That helped for most...
