@Jack Hammer I have indeed; that was my first thought. Just waiting for them to get back to me

Between that and a Halcyon video I just watched on youtube, I think that must be the case. It also has two holes on the bottom. As T-bone and Jack Hammer pointed out, before BPs started gaining popularity, I think brands just bought their plates all from the same manufacturer and slapped an...

Most definitely. IST and Frog as well. It is not the brand that is of any concern to me; I want to have this plate kitted up with the Halcyon cinch harness and so I am wondering if in the event that this plate is not a Halcyon, that it is still built to exactly the same spec and the harness will...

Hi all, Recently picked up a used SS backplate and harness. The harness is obviously Halcyon, however, the plate itself has no brand stamp on it. Does anyone know which company it is from? Could it maybe an older Halcyon plate before they started branding them with the 'H'? With the exception...

I think that may be the case. Will need to determine the thread when I take it in for servicing. I am hoping that the threads are metric because sourcing BSP valves in South Africa is extremely difficult, or rather specifically valves which come in LH/RH configs to accommodate manifolds; in...

A friend of mine is selling his old 15L Fabers which I want to have serviced and configured for a twinset. It is quite an old Faber; if I have read the markings correct, they were manufactured in 1995. What I want to know is what type of valve thread would match with these cylinders. Of course...

Came across this old Dive Rite 1st stage for a decent price recently. Condition is so good that I wonder if it was ever even used. But I can't quite tell what the model is. Can anyone assist? And if possible provide me with any info about it or at least a link to a source. Ignore the mini gauge...

This has been on my mind for a while and I was hoping a few people on this forum can weigh in. It seems to be a generally accepted norm that pretty much any reg on the market can handle EANx mixes up to 40%. But what is the general feeling amongst tech divers around the globe for using...

I have spotted this Apeks regulator stage set for sale on the local second hand listings for a very reasonable price but I do not recognise the 2nd stage. The 1st stage looks like a DST unless I am mistaken but I have never seen the 2nd stage before. It looks like an older version of the...

Thanks a lot!

Thanks Angelo. Much appreciated.

Potential death trap. Definitely...:eek:

Afternoon. Seems this is the place for username change requests. Could I please have mine changed to "Caveman"?

Afternoon all; hope everyone has been keeping safe and diving loads. Was hoping I could get some input on the matter of using mixing regulator sets from two brands on my twinset. Specifically, a Poseidon Cyklon set and a Scubapro set. To make myself clear, I do not mean the mixing and matching...

And less costly too.

Similar situation with me. Snagged two wings 2nd hand; a Halcyon and a Dive Rite. Both in superb condition but the aircell did have a few salt crystals inside. Cleaned them up proper and they have performed magnificently. The materials that the inner cells are made of are tremendously durable. I...

That is a good consideration. If it were up to me, even if I were not diving at least once a month then I would still frequently take my wings and give them a thorough clean and even the usual semi annual/annual service to keep them from developing any mold or corrosion of the materials. With...

Right on the money. After I started this thread I emailed Dive Rite and they confirmed that having a bit of water left over is not a problem at all assuming it is clean fresh water. Makes sense. Wouldn't make for very practical diving gear if something that is designed to be used in water could...

I think wings arrive folded because they are fresh from the factory and it minimizes space needed for packaging. I don't think it is necessarily harmful but more of a cautionary measure in the event that some people don't wash their wings properly especially after a sea dive. Say you are about...
