    Key fob solution?

    This is a good question worthy of continuing an aging topic. I dive dry in California. I have wrapped the FOB for a Kia Niro in aluminum foil and hidden in the car. I dove with the physical key hung around my neck. Fine, that works. I dump my gear and unzip and pop the neck off the...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Thanks everyone. Just to follow-up: I did clean up the joint and reapplied lube ... still stiff. Then after a number of dives--leaving them attached to the suite--trying different lubes, working the bayonet mechanism when not diving, the Rolock mechanism did eventually loosen up. Now it...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Yes, I used the supplied Silicone. Then tried a little Christolube, which is less tacky. My conclusion is that the o-rings were too plump out of the box. O-rings can deform and they seem to have loosened up slightly, otherwise I could not turn them at all. Tolerances in o-rings can...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    My experience is very similar to the video linked to this earlier post: https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/seaskin-nova-drysuit.567833/post-9830714 In fact, to get them to turn as well as the video linked above I tried Cristolube. I noticed that divegearexpress has o-rings for this...

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    Hi, did you ever get the system working correctly? I also experience the same problem with a new Rolock 90 on a new Nova from Seaskin that arrived in December. Lubricated, and stored cuff twisted on between dives. Twisting off still requires me to wrap both sides in rubber. Prior to dives...

    Probe Frogskins

    Thanks, Blues Runner. This is helpful. I am about 175 lbs and 5'7. May be too tight for me. Seems as if Probe prioritizes height and arm length and then allows for the stretch to take bulk into account. May return for a Large. Cheers, Stan

    Probe Frogskins

    Hi, In your experience how tight are these supposed to fit? I received mediums 1.5 mm top and bottoms on the suggestion of the Probewetsuit employee after telling them my size and weight--I usually take large tops. The top medium is quite tight but stretchy. Hard to get on and really hard...

    Question Scubapro MK20 swivel retainer failure questions.

    Interesting discussion. Humm, bags of retainers? Email me. I have been shorting steel and buying rust futures. By the way, I could not find the nylon retainer gasket that was missing from one of the regs. But I did purchase a bag of 100 similar gaskets (under $1 discontinued) with the...

    Question Scubapro MK20 swivel retainer failure questions.

    Thanks, I obtained a second retainer ScubaGaskets. These seem to be stainless, but not marked and I can't tell. I am torquing these to the lower setting which seems to work fine. I really need to obtain a new under the table contact with a SP rep around the SF Bay Area. Cheers, --Stan

    PST Steel tank and U.S. Divers 7/8 valve questions

    Checking back, I found a place in that cleaned up the tank and completed the hydro successfully. They did not tumble, they scoured it with acid which was mentioned by several folks. The burst disks turned out to be fairly generic Harrison's mentioned by JimChris which are identical to the...

    Question Scubapro MK20 swivel retainer failure questions.

    I dive and maintain Scuba Pro MK10s MK10+ and MK20s and was servicing an MK20 when the swivel retainer cracked off while I was torquing it to the spec for brass of 35 lbs/inch. I had that sick feeling trying to acheive this very low torque before the retainer separated. I am glad that...

    PST Steel tank and U.S. Divers 7/8 valve questions

    Thanks for the info rx7diver and tbone. The NESS Sherwood or Harrison burst disc valves should work. Great. Hydo: The same tank has needed to be tumbled at each hydro since I purchased it used 15 years ago. It has some recognizable pitting vs. my other tanks. There has been no increase in...

    PST Steel tank and U.S. Divers 7/8 valve questions

    I have several PST steel 3,500 PSI 100 tanks with the U.S Divers 7/8" slant valves mentioned in a recent post. These are great steel tanks, but figuring out parts for the valves is problematic. What replacement burst discs do these take? Sherwood lit. indicates that there are 3/8" 3-piece...

    Need help identifying valve

    I regularly use a DIN to Yoke conversion adapter on my steel PST tanks to test and tune my yoke dive equipment prior to travel. I do not dive these tanks using the insert, that would not be safe. I dive them using DIN regulators. But for paintball air transfers the insert should be fine...

    Tinkle p-valve install in a compressed neoprene drysuit.

    Thanks all , I popped the hole and applied several thin coats of black neoprene cement to both sides of the suit to create a contact surface. I glued a thin rubber gasket cut from a truck innertube on the inside using aquaseal and am compressing the valve contact area of the suit between steel...

    Tinkle p-valve install in a compressed neoprene drysuit.

    Thanks for your reply, I may order a DR before I punch a new hole in the suit. I believe that the DR is a fine removable p-valve for a neoprene drysuit. Take a look at the following link for a DIY install of an OMS valve (very similar, if not identical to the DR) on a neoprene suit : Scuba...

    Tinkle p-valve install in a compressed neoprene drysuit.

    Have you or anyone you know installed a Light Monkey Tinkle p-valve on a crushed Neoprene drysuit? I installed LM p-valve onto my Pinnacle Black Ice drysuit five years ago using Auto\Marine Silicone to form a gasket to allow the valve to be removable for cleaning. This technique worked well...

    Battery charging...

    Hi, Hope you figured this one out. After you place a battery in the charger before plugging into the wall the light should turn green. Then The battery charger for the pro6+ should turn red while charging. When the charge cycle ends, the LED should turn green again. If this does not happen...

    Oceanic computer O-ring size/specifications?

    I just replaced a battery for my Oceanic Pro Plus 2 and replaced the o-ring. The o-ring is a -028, probably 70 duro. Good luck.

    halycon VS Light monkey P Valve

    Noticed mention of using alcohol and vinegar to flush valves. I used the Light Monkey Tinkle valve, and it worked well for many dives, but mine failed after I flushed it after a number of dives with a 50:50 mix of rubbing alcohol and vinegar. The mixture visibly puckered the mushroom valve...
