    For Sale Scuba-related Books

    All of these are in good shape. Most have some spine creasing, dinged corners, etc. All have been read, but none are abused. Happy to take pics if anyone wants them. Prices will be plus actual shipping, since most of these will otherwise cost me money to sell. If you buy four or more at once...

    Closed Like new Deep6 7mm Wetsuit - XL

    Sold. Time to start selling off all my equipment, as I don't see myself diving much in the future. First up, my 7mm Deep6 wetsuit. Size XL, if the info I found elsewhere on the board is accurate, this should be from their size chart: 6'1" - 6'3" height, 185-215lbs weight, 37-39" waist, 42-44"...

    Closed No longer FS: Halcyon 40#/HP100 rig, DR regs, DR Al BP

    Update 3/19/21: Having issues receiving notifications from SB. Moved without selling anything, so my main driver to sell no longer exists. Everything is still available, but I'm unwilling to dig through all the boxes and find items at this point. Once I get settled, I may re-list everything. For...

    Accidentally deleted "watched threads..."

    I was fiddling in my user control panel, and meant to un-watch a single thread. I checked the box next to the thread in question, clicked "unwatch threads," and discovered that particular button meant unwatch all threads. This is a long shot, but is there any way to restore the threads I had...

    Excursion Gauge Mode Questions

    Looking at the manual for the Excursion, there's only one page that covers gauge mode, here's a screen shot: Two questions on this info: 1) The top line says "Current ATM," which I interpret as "Current pressure." If I've got the computer set to imperial, does this read out as "33.4PSI?" I...

    Closed Unused Halcyon Deluxe Harness Pads

    This came on a rig I bought, never been in the water. I bought the rig "new used." The previous owner bought everything new and never dove it. I just picked it up during quarantine and also haven't taken it to water. You can see one dimple above the "H" logo on the face of the pad. This looks to...

    Closed Bare Arctic 7mm Wetsuit & Hooded Shorty, Men's MLT

    SOLD! Bought these new ~12-15 years ago, dove the full suit probably 10-15 times. Moved away, and miraculously gained some weight before I got back to where diving seems possible. While it sounds fantastic, I don't see myself dropping 20lbs to weasel back in to this suit. I tried on the shorty...

    Wanted Airspeed: OxyHacker & Booster Books

    Looking to buy copies of Oxygen Hacker's Companion and Improvised and Low Cost HP Boosters. I'm hoping somebody's got a copy collecting dust on a shelf; these are the last two Airspeed Press books I need to finish the collection, and I'm starting to run out of pandemic reading material.

    When to reassess regulator choices? A question to tech divers..

    To put the question up front: for those of you who have invested into multiple dive "kits," particularly folks diving doubles, with stages, OC bailout for CCR folks, etc. or even those of you who switch back and forth between single tank rigs and doubles, how do you select your next set of regs...

    Dump valve gasket adhesive?

    I have a somewhat older (2008 manufacture) Halcyon Eclipse wing. The OPV spring was recalled because some of them apparently rust badly enough to be an issue. I discussed it with Halcyon and I chose against replacing it (at least for now) because I take my OPV off for storage anyway, to ensure...

    Looking for a DIR-F training buddy!

    Hey everyone, I'm recently getting back into diving, and hoping to make it a sustainable hobby. It's been an on again-off again relationship for me for a long time. A lot of that I can attribute to never having found a buddy who wants to and can dive regularly. So here I am, looking for that...

    Verifying depth calibration?

    I have an Aladin Tec2g, which I bought new some years ago. From new, I've noted multiple dives where my depth reads ~10-15ft deeper than my buddy's. This has happened with at least a half dozen buddies in even more dive locations. Analog or computer, obviously different gear with each buddy. I...

    XT1/XT2 Service Clinic?

    Does Dive Rite offer service training for the Xt1/Xt2 publicly? I'm interested in maintaining my own kit, and have no nearby local dealers. So far, I've returned them to the factory for service. After a minor malfunction of a buddy's (non-DR) reg on its second dive back from factory service...

    High endurance velcro?

    One of my 5mm booties refuses to stay zipped up. The flapping drives me nuts, but they're otherwise great. They fit well, and the fins fit them well, plenty of life left. They don't have the velcro tab to hold the zipper shut, so I'm thinking I'll fix that. But does anyone know of a quality...

    DAN First Aid for Professional Divers - physical book?

    I just signed up for DAN's Diving First Aid for Professional Divers, with the hands on scheduled for April. The student manual is a 250-page PDF, which DAN makes publicly available here. Is anyone aware of a source for a printed version? I can't seem to find it in DAN's store, or anywhere else...

    Canister clips?

    I'm entertaining whipping up a canister for my rig. Short term, it'll hold my "don't leave me floating out here" kit - dye pack, EPIRB/PLB, etc. and eliminate my need to tuck the long hose, thereby helping with skills development. Long term, it's a solid starting point to build a light from...

    Suggestion Print/Download all pages of a thread for offline viewing?

    There's an incredible amount of information on this site. As I'm trying to get back into diving, and improve my knowledge and skills, I find myself here almost daily (if not more) setting the wayback machine to search out old threads on topics I'm curious about. Many of these discussions go on...

    Deep6 Website Security Issues?

    Anybody else having problems with deep6gear.com? I haven't had issues in the past, but today my Symantec won't allow me to visit, throwing a warning about "Formjacking," which suggests some malicious code skimming credit card info. Here's Symantec's description of the warning, which rates...

    PO2 Max - Why 1.4/1.6?

    I just wrapped up the online portion of my nitrox course a few days ago, and have been reading around here and elsewhere since, trying to gain a deeper understanding of things. One thing I haven't been able to find an explanation on: why was I taught to use a max PO2 of 1.4, or 1.6 for...

    PADI not teaching theory re/EANx

    Hey all, I've been more or less on dive hiatus for the last decade or so, with but a few exceptions. I think I'm finally in a position to get back into things, so I lined up a nitrox course during a work trip in a couple of months. The instructor is a friend, but work will inevitably interfere...
