    D1 LP port question

    This is a curiosity question more than anything else. I just purchased/received (2) D1 cold water 1st stages. They came bubble wrapped /sealed in the boxes and I noticed that one LP port in each reg didn't have a plug. Is there a reason for this? I am putting these regs up for the time being...

    Needing feedback on Pony

    Here's a couple photos that were taken of me and it's the first I have ever seen of me diving with my pony bottle. My brother and I were descending in one photo at a local quarry and the other was just noodling around. I will be looking at options for reconfiguring if required. My question is...

    A quick thanks to the MODS.

    There was a recent issue/controversy over a SB feature (Thanks Button). It started a good discussion both pro and con. The SB staff has on occasion been accused of being dictatorial, irrational, iron-fisted, etc. It seems to be a thankless job for the volunteers that take the time to do it...

    Question about the Fusion Bullet zippers

I recieved my Bullet the other day and both go the same way (starting from the same side). Is this a change in the Bullet, or are...

    2nd "After Thanksgiving Freeze your A$$ Off" dive.

    It didn't happen this year. Well, that isn't exactly correct. We had a dive the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day, it's just that there was only 3 of us there. My brother Johnny and a co-worker Mike. A few folks from Jasper, Ga. showed up just to dive and didn't know about our dive. Some of last...

    Thanks a Ton!

    Hey Tobin, First; let me wish you a belated Happy Birthday. I happened to celebrate my B-Day on Feb. 12 also! Well I finally got my regs back, so I was able to try out my new rig from you (SS bp/30lb single wing, hog harness). Let me tell you; it was damn refreshing. Talk about a new feeling and...

    Curiousity Question

    The way threads and posts have been going today, I'm almost afraid to ask. Well here goes: I saw on another thread the term MOF/NMOF. What in the world does it stand for? I can usually figure out most acronyms, but this one has me stumped. Thanks

I've been checking out alot of the info here, at DAN, DIR, and anything about diving. Great info to sift through and being new, am soaking this stuff up like a sponge. I have...
