    Teric OR MK3

    If you want each of you to monitor both of your tank pressures simultaneously while at the 30ft distance, the new MK3i and T2 would allow that (with +/- on the actual effective distance YMMV) ... plus the MK3i /T2 also has some new messaging capabilities between divers. However to get that...

    Water in SPG

    Drifting now... Glycerine is mostly used today as the liquid dampener in gauges but in panel mounts on compressors where the gauges are going to be mounted where they will be exposed to heat I prefer mineral oil. The two are not miscible... if you are topping off and uncertain what it is...

    Water in SPG

    Mineral oil is placed in some types of gauge housings to dampen the needle movement due to vibration where the gauge is mounted in a panel on machinery that vibrates (for example, compressors). Submersible pressure gauges used in diving do not require dampening and thus I've never seen a oil...

    is the Apeks xtx50 discontinued?

    No, the XTX40/XTX50/XTX200 second stages are not discontinued. It's in the 2024 price list, and they are now listing the individual stages as available to order as well. As a guess, this is an issue with their website maintenance... nothing more.

    Cave fill final gas volume

    Hmmmm, If we are going to be pedantic: While an LP85 does hold a Z-factor adjusted 81 cubic feet of air at 2640 psi, you can't use that pressure ratio adjustment and then apply another Z-factor adjustment. Start with the water volume.... Ideal capacity calculation based on Faber LP85 water...

    Proper mask cleaning

    As a retailer of dive masks, we frequently deal this issue. Dive masks should not persistently fog if the glass is reasonably clean. A more illuminating question is "WHY does my recently purchased dive mask persistently fog unless repeatedly treated with some kind of defog ritual?" The...

    Possible UPS strike - DGX ships UPS

    If you haven't heard the news, UPS and the Teamsters Union reached a tentative agreement on the 25th (which still has to be officially ratified by the 300,000 UPS workers, but there is no expectation it won't be.) This means the possible Aug 1, 2023 labor strike at UPS and subsequent...

    As you say, it's the burst disk.

    Pair of Thermo Pro 3000 psi service valves for $50 :)

    The valves for $50 were bundled with the aluminum cylinders we buy, but were not used. The cylinders are 3000 psi service, so are the valves. They can't be used on higher pressure cylinders.

    Question What (if any) brands of BC integrated 2nd stages is this QD post found on?

    Let's see if we can "crowd source" an answer to the following question: In the picture below, if "S" is ScubaPro Air II, et.al. and "A" is Aqualung AirSource, et.al. then what is the "?" post found on? Please no guessing, if you aren't reasonably sure, please don't guess. The threaded base on...

    Using ChatGPT to write comments/posts about dive equipment

    The average American reads at a 7th to 8th grade level. Writing in a clear, concise and logical manner is difficult. 40 years ago I worked in the broadcast TV industry, and among other things developed computer software tools to assist in the preparation of on-air scripts to be read by our...
