I'm starting this thread to help out a very good friend. He has recently created a scubaboard account, but since he is not active on the board, he is unable to start a thread on his on. He is going to respond to this thread with the gear he has for sale. Since many of you know me personally...

Oceanic just removed the "Buddy Check" wordage from the literature on the new products. It has something to do with a legal issue regarding a trademarking or registration of the wording "Buddy Check". All of the hoseless, air integrated computers (Atom 3.0, VT4, OC1) can still be used with...

I probably didn't make it clear where all of the tanks were filled on Saturday. I split the tanks up because the first shop (the shop that filled your tanks) only had ONE filler adapter to fill DIN tanks. So, I took some of the tanks with DIN valves over to Dive Locker hoping for a quicker...

Mike, Your tanks were not filled at Dive Locker, but at another of the shops in Panama City. Only six of the tanks we got filled were from Dive Locker and your tank was not in that group of six. I picked up your tanks as well as the rest of the tanks for the boat (i think it was 12 tanks) on...

Since we opened our dive store in 2000, I've consistently done trips to the Dry Tortugas once or twice a year. Each trip has been onboard the Ultimate Getaway. As others have said, the boat is not luxury, but you are guaranteed to get in more diving than most any other liveaboard. We have had...

No, the mix in the tank is whatever it is: 32%, 36%, 40%, AIR, who knows (precisely the point)! Since the computer has not been set by the diver, the algorithm is based on the worst possible scenario for both gasses. The Oxygen calculations are based on a mix containing 50% oxygen content...

I'll be there this weekend with a class! I'll be under/around two large white tents. Stop by and say hello!

I've donated blood off and on throughout my adult life, and with more frequency during the last year and a half. Each time has been one unit of whole blood and other than maybe being a bit tired the next day, i've never noticed any adverse effects. I'm sure that i've been diving within a day...

I'm pretty sure that I'll be.......HERE! Brad Ellis

You could also try using 2" Tubular Webbing for the plate bends. Dive Rite uses this stuff on the Transplate Harness to prevent chaffing of the softer webbing and it seems to work quite well. 2" Tubular Webbing at DiveSports.com Brad Ellis

AHHHH, i've been outed I guess! I most certainly belong to Phil. I'm Phil's son, work here in the shop with him. I'm getting more and more like him everyday, whether I like it or not. I actually have the nickname of "RE-Phil" by lots of folks around here locally. Good to be part of the...

You're probably not gonna find a frameless, two window mask on the market. The lenses in a mask have to be on the same plane underwater. Otherwise, your vision will be distorted. In a frameless mask, the lens acts as the "frame", if the lenses were split, the mask would lose its "frame," and...

Your understanding is right on the money. They are just a convience for lots of divers, esp those that ONLY do very shallow (less than 30') dives once or twice a day when they are on vacation. However, they do use algorithms that factor in depth over the entire dive as you have stated...

Looks like the first person to post saying that they have recieved their card. The rest of you should start seeing your cards in the mail today or tomorrow. If you place your order online, be sure to fill out the "gift message" section of the checkout process and include the SN of your card...

I have an Oceanic Geo myself, and I absolutely love it. I do lots of diving as an instructor, and I use the Geo as my primary dive computer. Its great because you can wear it on your wrist everyday. Its super lightweight, it has huge numbers for a watch sized computer, and the screen is really...

The Henderson Thermoprene Suits really are very economical. The 3mm and 5mm suits both sell for under $200. They are super suits for the money. I've been a Hyperstretch guy for quite a while, but I recently picked up a Thermoprene 3mm. I was very impressed. It stretched almost as much as...

Buoyant, Before you order and buy a custom made suit, you really should give one of the stretchy neoprene materials a shot. Custom suits are notorious for not fitting quite "custom" and they frequently have to be sent back to the factory for adjustments. This just makes the process a...

As a few have mentioned already, the Apollo Bio Tank Lock Band is a real quality product like everything else from Apollo Sports. If you have any sort of difficulty at all with conventional tank straps, the Bio Lock might very well be the answer for you. Its worth giving it a try. We have a...
