Hi all, Treat it as serious, rant and rave, contradict me I don't care just dont ignore me. I've been diving for nearly 30 years and MY gear is constantly being evolved, due basically to the fact that I often have to have redundancy to look after trainees (duty of care not to drown...

Just a thought but why don't you / didn't you bolt the Vee weight on the outside of the twinset and not between the BP and W. Brian C

With regards to Diverswarehouse I've never had anything but first class service from them, they live 20 miles down the road from me but I check up their online stock and prices all the time. They are real nice divers and are totally commited to the customers, if you have any warrenty issues...

Hi ScoobieDooo, YES..... Brian C

If you have twin bag wings how do you DIR inflate them? manually and from your air supply... If you have 2 off wing feeds which goes from which reg so that you'll always have one that works? In the case of a double problem you could always swop the hose from one to the other??? Substitute SPG...

For many years I've been diving with a long hose on my primary and thats the one the OOA budy is told to grab, and a pony (3litre) with MY second reg bungeed round my neck, my BC is fitted with a fully automatic inflater/reg/Auto-air(simmilar in principle to an Air II). I am now contemplating...

Hi Solentdiver, Yes in answer to your question,I have just bought one in original condition with anotated bitsfrom a previous owner (graffiti to you and me) on the cover. I haven't scanned it yet an made it an ecopy but I will soon. Send me a normal email address and I'll send you an...

I can vouch for what 009 is saying. The cross-over rod that controls the lever to poppet mechanism and hence the lever free play/height, is a bit tricky as the rod spins when you try to adjust it. I got round the problem by adjusting the poppet end first to stop any hiss then 1/8 of a turn (on...

I've got some Scubapro info in PDF format. Anyone can PM me with a wish list AND an email address (not forum based) and I'll send an attachment and a message straight to them. Anyone got anything to swop?....That is not a prerequesite to getting the info...I just collect manuals Apeks to...

Hi OWI, At the 1st stage end:- LP is generally 3/8"UNF female or 1/2"UNF(on some Aqualung/Apeks number 1 ports. HP is now 7/16"UNF (but older regs quite often had 3/8" UNF) Very old Poseidons had 1/8"gas thread on the first stage but are now LP 3/8"UNF /HP 7/16"UNF On the 2nd stage end...

Hi Penfold, Do I know you?/ you know me? I came across Hydro optic about 4 years ago, they appeared to make or sell all sorts of diving equipment from regs,BCs, funny clips and masks. A dive shop near me seemed to be doing a roaring trade in their gear. They started doing a special offer...

Hi James, and welcome to this forum. I have a Siebe Gorman Merlin VI that is currently in pieces, I have just this morning got a manual for it. I'm quite prepared to swop tales and diving info if you like. Yes I'm a diver and a Scuba service technician in North yorkshire, I take it that...

Hi reefrat, The facts:- you can mod the chamber, long type=22.5mm, short type 20.2mm. without pulling chamber from shuttle valve it can be sanded down in length(so as not to disturb the o-ring) but I've never seen a worn chamber/o-ring. The mod just reduces the spring compression, independant...

Hi and a happy newyear to you all. Have a link to my list of O-rings that should suit 95% of regs out there. Select the sizes that are applicable to you. On material: Viton AND EPDM will do where Nitrile/ Buna won't that is Oxygen wise. http://www.airspeedpress.com/OringDBconsent.html...

Hi Mmcdds, I've been diving with an Apeks T50D since they came out, and with TX50 /40 since. IMHO and from my experience of diving under ice in lakes with an air temp (with the chill factor) of 24 deg F and a water temp of 32 to 34 deg ....you still dont need to add the heat exchanger bits...

Thanks very much, now that we've astablished that I have a Siebe Gorman Merlin Mk VI I've still got the problem that I can't get the Yoke off to do the repair. Is ther canyone who has either an exploded view of that reg, knows the whereabouts of a manual or can tell me how to get the relevant...
