    Instructor Insurance

    Has anyone used scubalife.com for instructor insurance? They are advertising $625. I got my instructor rating in 2019, but do to Covid just started teaching friends and family this summer, but with insurance and PADI fees, I'm in the same boat as many of you and may not do much more of it...

    How to remove front silver ring on a Genesis OZ titanium regulator

    I have a Genesis OZ Titanium regulator that has a small leak from the 2nd stage. It is not a high IP pressure problem as it still happens when I connect it to another regulator. I do not have a Genesis rep anywhere near South Dakota, and it is not cost effective to ship it to a shop, pay for a...

    Can I use my portable electric compressor in a basement?

    From what I can tell looking at the manual it is rated for both 50 and 60 Hz. Runs at a higher RPM with 60. I didn't think it would be a problem filling it in the basement but just wanted to ask the question. Figured I could just open the window to get fresh air into the basement while the...

    Genesis Oz regulator IP is too high

    I have a Genesis Oz regulator connected to a Scubapro Air 2. The Air 2 recently started free flowing so I thought that was the problem and had it serviced. Get it back connect it to my reg and it still free flows. Connect it to another reg and it works fine. Had the local dive shop check the...

    Can I use my portable electric compressor in a basement?

    I recently bought a Coltri MCH-6 compressor. Since the only 220 outlet I have in my house is in the laundry room in the basement, is it ok to fill tanks there or do I need to put the compressor outside and run the power cord thru the window? Reason I ask is just for Radon and humidity concerns.

    Anyone know where to get parts for a Balco pneumatic speargun?

    I have a Balco pneumatic speargun that recently quit working. I believe the company has been out of business for awhile and all I can find about them on the web is about band guns. I've never seen another Balco pneumatic or heard of anyone having one. The dive shop here in South Dakota says it...

    Need ScubaPro Air2 deflator button

    I agree. But I'm sure ScubaPro would say that every part is critical. And I can see their point, they want to avoid a lawsuit if someone does put something together wrong and gets killed diving. But something simple like a button and a nut is a no brainer. Just make me sign a waiver or...

    Need ScubaPro Air2 deflator button

    Found a dive shop in CA that mailed me the part free of charge! Put it in last night and am good to go. Won't mention the name of the shop so they don't have any issues, but if I'm ever in CA I'll make sure to stop in to that shop.

    Need ScubaPro Air2 deflator button

    Any decent business should get the part and install it for a nominal charge. I don't mind paying a couple bucks for someone's time, but to charge me a minimum $45 bench rate and an annual service fee, when I just need to replace one piece and tighten a nut is absurd. I'm a certified rescue...

    Need ScubaPro Air2 deflator button

    We have very limited dive shops in the state of SD. Just hoping that someone that runs a service center would see this posting and contact me to sell me the part I need. My contact info is: barefootdiver2000@yahoo.com if anyone wants to contact me direct and not post on the site. Thanks.

    Need ScubaPro Air2 deflator button

    While cleaning my Air2, 3rd generation, I overtightened the nut on the deflator button and snapped off the post at the threaded part. Where can I order just the deflator button and post? My local dive shop wants to charge me a minimum bench rate plus an arm and a leg for an entire parts kit for...

    Underwater case for Canon a700??

    Hi, just registered with the site. I recently bought a Canon a700. Just assumed there was an underwater case for it. Called Canon and they said they have one for the a710, but not the a700. Now they are nearly identical in size (2-3mm difference) and the buttons are exactly the same and I...
