    Closed [NO LONGER NEED] Suunto Cobra console side QD adapter

    It’s probably a long shot, but if anyone has a console side QD adapter for Cobra (preferably with o-ring) that they are looking to part with, hit me up. I’m looking to upgrade a non-QD cobra to QD, and I have everything else - a Cobra with a regular connection, and a hose with a hose-side QD...

    Did Hotel Cozumel just TRIPLE their rates??

    I'm planning to go to Cozumel in the end of November for the first time, so no first-hand knowledge of the area. Booked a flight about a month ago, and been taking my time looking for hotels, leaning towards Hotel Cozumel based on the reviews I was able to find. When I first looked at the...

    Closed Aqualung Legend 1st and 2nd

    I reluctantly put this regulator up for sale. I really like it, and have been using it as a colder water drysuit reg, but decided that I don't need 3 regs. The reg was completely overhauled last summer by a professional dive shop, plus a purge cover was replaced at a total cost of $120. Since...

    Suunto compass locking up at depth?

    I have a Suunto Cobra dive computer in a console with a compass attachment that's several years old and has roughly 100 dives on it. This year I started noticing that the compass becomes unresponsive at the depth of roughly 35 feet or deeper, the needle doesn't move, or moves intermittently...

    Closed OMS back plate, harness, and wing - $230

    OMS stainless steel back plate with harness and a 60-lb Ocean wing. The rig had seen extremely little use, less than a dozen dives. It did spend several years in storage. Back plate and harness are as close to "like new" as it gets. The wing appears to be in good shape, but all the letters from...

    Lanes yesterday, 6/3/20

    Beautiful day of diving at Lanes yesterday. Surface as calm as it gets around slack high tide. Two more buddy teams at the site besides my buddy and I, all did two tanks. Went down to 53fsw, temps little chilly past the thermocline, I got 45F on both dives. Bugs are starting to appear, got some...

    Current state at Cape Ann?

    Does anyone have a recent first hand experience shore diving (or attempting to dive) anywhere at Cape Ann? Specific area of interest is Lanes Cove. Are the roads leading to it open? Anything posted at the parking lot? I'm afraid if there is even one sign prohibiting diving, the locals will go...

    Disassembling doubles for hydro

    I'm sure the answer to my question is common knowledge, but somehow I'm failing to find it using search... I have a set of doubles with isolation manifold, half full, which I'd like to disassemble and bring for hydro. I realize that I can't remove the manifold while it's still pressurized. So...

    Kicked off new season at Fort Wetherill

    @EdC and I made a trip down to Jamestown, RI yesterday to ring in the new year and new season of diving. Initial plan was to dive Beavertail SP, but 20mph+ NW winds created really rough seas right outside of the cove, and since neither of us dove there before, we opted for a more protected site...

    Power inflator manual exhaust (aka oral inflate) o-ring

    I have a leaking 90-degree ("standard looking") power inflator that was attached to an OMS wing. I took it apart, and discovered that the o-ring on manual exhaust (a longish shaft with a 9/16 nut on one end and a plastic button on another) was snapped. There was in total 6 o-rings in the...

    Moosehead Lake, Maine

    I will be spending an afternoon, a night, and a morning at the Moosehead Lake in Maine the 2nd weekend of August. This will be my first time in the area. I've read about some wreck diving on the lake, and realize that this could be a rare opportunity to dive it, as I don't know if and when I'll...

    Strange IP behavior on a freshly serviced regulator - what's going on?

    I just had one of my regs serviced by a professional technician, and now it exhibits very strange behavior: 1. When put on a tank and pressurized (before cycling) - IP goes all the way to 170 and stays there. 2. When cycled by purging or breathing, IP drops to 135-ish, and from that point...

    Gill, MA anyone?

    I've heard (and read on this board) about a couple of decent dive sites on the Connecticut river in the vicinity of Gill, Mass - King Phillip's Abyss and some washed out bridge. It appears that the weather will be perfect on Saturday (6/15/19) , and my afternoon just freed up unexpectedly. Is...

    Can anyone ID this tank by this one photo?

    Apparently no brand name etched on the tank. Seller asks $20 for an aluminum 80 in hydro for the next 2+ years.
