    Can you lay tile?

    BTW concrete backer would be great but expensive, my suggestion is 1/4" over what you have now, screwed and glued down (pl400 works well for this). I've not had any experiance with houses on stiltes, but assume frost heaving isn't a problem for you down south like it is here. :eyebrow:

    Can you lay tile?

    1" base of sound wood is recommended, no particle board or chip board of any kind as they will absorb the water in the mortar and swell, screw it down well into the floor joists and you will never have a problem. I know people that have used ¾” and haven’t had any problems, but have also seen...

    Those who routinely dive with a pony tank?

    I use a 19cf with a strap mount quick release, short SPG with a quality first and second; it's tight to the BC on the right side. Dumpable weight to counter in the left side of the BC, none on the right to free up pocket space, the rest is on my hips to balance the rig. My primary is on a 5ft...

    good dry suit undergarment alternatives

    I dive in waters that are high thirties to the mid forties and suffer greatly. As an alternative under garment I was thinking a thin wet suit. I have a very old shortie that is loose fitting, so I tried it on with cotton shirt and shorts underneath and it was a comfortable fit. Has anyone tried...

    Some new dives since last time.

    I did Jesse Island as my final checkout dive in feb 06. Entry into dive log went something like this. All good with gear, amazing life and color, will never dive wet again. Brrr it was cold. On our way to Jesse, just out from the dock there is a old tugboat they sank called the rivtow lion...

    Mares Abyss 22 Regulator, thoughts?

    I bought one for my first reg and have nothing but good things to say about them. 2 year service, great in cold water(not that it's a worry for you down south), it breathes very well and I haven't had any free flows. I've since bought another mares reg for my pony bottle, I haven't had it at any...

    Ideal knife?

    Who said size doesn't matter? huh? who was it? Plus it helps to keep air out of my right leg. I also carry shears on my BC. Was this the white handle someone was looking for?

    Purge Valve or Not

    Hi Pete. I figured there would be no easy answer, kinda hoping there might be a solution to assist me until I get my SAC rate down and breathing in a zen state.:eyebrow: I will try it, just thinking about the few times I've lost air around the skirt and I seem to remember a rushing slurpy...

    Purge Valve or Not

    Hello all. I hope this isn't too noobie of a question, but was hoping to get some of your insights on purge valves. As soon as I put on a mask I find my breathing laboured or restricted because I can't breath through my nose. Couple that with a drysuit and hood and sometimes my...
