    Free Analox sensor saver plugs - free to whoever wants one

    These plugs are intended to "help reduce the sensor’s exposure to oxygen and extend its life" according to some online stores that sell them for $25 each plus shipping. With the kind assistance of a fellow scubaboarder, I am able to offer these free to anyone in the US who wants one. All I ask...

    Wanted Mako Oceanic, Tekna, or similar DPV parts wanted

    Hey Divers, I’m looking for any and all parts, not picky about condition or location. Let me know what you have. Also interested in leads on parts. Even if you don’t have parts, but just want to discuss these old lead acid scooters, let’s do it! Thanks, George

    My dive computer is too conservative, what can I do ?

    This is an assumption that looks to have been made just to support a hateful :monkeybutt: follow up comment. Yes this is the advanced forum, but a completely unnecessary response. Picking on people who are trying to learn and new to Scubaboard like this is uncalled for. @msjackiechu thanks for...

    Drysuit disaster from La Jolla to DC...!

    The only thing I’ve not seen mentioned is don’t forget to squat down and burp the neck seal before you first go in. Many will say this is a newby technique, and probably rightly so. But if you are ascending out of control, it’s likely you are putting too much air in the suit. As others said...

    Greetings and thank you for the wealth of knowledge

    Welcome to the ‘board. I was going to say come see us at Beaver lake until I saw the cold tolerance comment. Although in the summer it’s quite warm in shallow water. I wear a hood or hooded vest until at least mid 80’s temp wise, regardless of salt or fresh. Dive count and continuing to push...

    Hey Zach, I think it would fit you great. Because it has the accordion style mid section similar to DUI style, there is a lot of height adjustment. Sending you a PM.

    Question Continuous blending O2, do I really need to 'fly' the O2 valve?

    Got it. Thanks @tbone1004 for chiming in with @Tracy’s answer. My mistake was assuming that earlier posters were filling a couple tanks at a time. I laughed when Tracy mentioned using multiple bottles of O2 during a filling session. I get months out of a bottle - haha. And just a little...

    Question Continuous blending O2, do I really need to 'fly' the O2 valve?

    Why are two regulators needed; wondering what I'm doing wrong? I use a single Victor regulator set at ~18psi and a 0-30 SCFH Dwyer that seem to work fine. Typically adjust the flow once or sometimes twice from about 21 to 18 over the course of filling a tank, after I pass the PMV pressure...

    Diving Shearwater with a Suunto buddy

    Hello. Most of this has been said in the post, but I’ll repeat since you ask. Firstly, with your experience in the range of 0-24 dives, air integration or a $1200+ computer is an unneeded distraction. Great that you can afford it. I started with AI about the same time. Assuming here that...

    Divertug DPV

    Hey Johnny, I’ve got one of their base model torn down now in my shop. Belongs to a dive buddy. Speed is roughly half of a blacktip or Mako. Buoyancy was pretty good in fresh water although it was nose up from memory. Has a basic variable output electronic speed controller managed by a Hall...

    Hey that’s great. While you are there, can you send over the pics you offered to send me a couple weeks ago on the mako basket case? Have sent a couple DMs and never got a response after your original offer. Thanks

    Sold! Nautilus Lifeline Marine VHF radio and GPS for divers

    Yup. Would assume we can count on the same level of seller integrity that’s been in place for the last 20 years or however long this forum has been in place. I only posted about my DM in the thread to save some other people the trouble of submitting an offer. The method of submitting the...
