    Worthington Steel HP 130

    Sorry I moved it back to Wi. ---------- Post added April 27th, 2015 at 08:17 PM ---------- Cost to Alabama over $60.00 estimate w/o address. Then making a shipping box too much work. I guess I'll just keep it or sell it local in Wisconsin.

    Worthington Steel HP 130

    I could possibly ship UPS if you pay (Pay Pal) $275.00 + the additional shipping $ but I can't imagine the cost for shipping. It weighs about 60 lb with air so maybe 50 lb empty and to Alaska $$$!!

    first time diving without my buddy

    I was a new diver once and got paired up w/ someone I didn't know. Go over hand signals and buddy check. Try to get with a more experienced diver and stay close to him/her. Don't expect them to stay close to you if you want to check out something they don't care about. If you want and need a...

    looking to get my first bc help please?

    When I started diving I was advised to go with a jacket style bc w/rear air bladder and front air bladder(on both sides by the pockets). It keeps you more level when floating at the surface, However; with too much air in it it creates a squeeze that can be uncomfortable even after letting air...

    Short Air Fills

    Does anyone know approx. how much cubic feet of air is lost on a short fill of say 2700lbs. on a Alu. 80cf tank? I have a HP 130cu and read somewhere a fill of 3000lb being 440lb light would only give me approx. 90cf so I wondered if the reduction on a Alu. 80 would be proportionately the same...

    Stay Away from Florida Keys Dive Center

    I stopped at Fl. Keys D.C. in the last week in Feb. The long hair,(I don't mind polite long haired people), working behind the desk was irritated with our questions about the dive, no. of divers on the boat etc. He treated us like our questions were stupid. The winds were strong and waves...

    Carrying a Spare Mask. Do you or Don't you?

    I saw someone loose their mask after a shore dive. They put it on their forehead and a wave took it off. Leave it on your face or pull it down under your chin & you shouldn't have a problem. Check the strap b/4 each dive! ---------- Post added May 7th, 2012 at 05:15 PM ---------- I carry an...

    How to get warm in 57-degree Fahrenheit water

    I used toLive in Wisconsin and dive in 40+ degree water in Lake Michigan often. I had a 7mm F. John but it was too bulky so I went to a 7mm semi dry hooded full suit but I didn't like that one either. I live in Florida now but the gulf is cold in the winter 60 deg. so I bought a Akona 7mm...

    Leisure Pro & Cressi

    I paid almost 50% less for the mask then the local Cressi dealer wanted. I felt comfortable doing the lens swap, unfortunately I ended up with the small cracks. Cressi wanted me to take it back to the dealer but I didn't feel comfortable taking it where I didn't buy it and Cressi wouldn't send...

    Leisure Pro & Cressi

    I received a Cressi Evo. mask and Rx lenses for X-mas. I also got the Cressi video on how to change the lenses. The video looked a lot easier than the procedure turned out to be. After swapping the lenses I noticed some hairline cracks around the nose piece of the snap ring. L.P. told me to go...

    over fill a low pressure steel tank?

    I have a friend whom wants to buy a steel 120 L.P. used, but in hydro & visual. The selling owner runs a scuba shop and said he had een over filling the tank. He says steel tanks don't stretch much and if one fillis the L.P. to 3000 lb you get almost 170cuft of air. I thought the neck of the...

    We went to Sharkies north parking lot. Perfect calm, 1 to 7 ft viz. There were dolphins around so they may have stirred sediment up as we went thru a cloud but didn't see what caused it. 65 degrees bottom temp. Found some small teeth and had a good time.
