Keep your eyes open and ask around. I picked up a Mosquito dive computer and a reg set for $125. I thought I was going to have trouble getting the reg set serviced but my lds found the parts and got it serviced. Kind of a sympathy buy as the guy couldn't dive anymore, medical, and the stuff...

I believe that they are public moorings as we have seen small (17') private boats tied up on them. In 4' seas no less.... Also, make sure that your are tying up to a proper site. We were tied up near, not on, the NOAA Sealab site. Our Divemaster warned us stringenly to not go near any of the...

As promised, an update on my compumask. I LOVE IT!!! I am a much better diver because of it. No fumbling around for a console, my ascent rate is micromanaged, safety stops are exact...just great. Only problem I have is getting the mask to download to my laptop dive log. Seems like everytime...

How does the tether work? What did you use, where do you attach on both the mask and your body, suit, ? I love my Datamask so far but could see my klutzy self :dork2: dropping it in mucho deep water!!! Thanks

Maybe a possibility for you to check out. I got 120 CF Nitrox at Dixie Divers in Ft. Lauderdale. If you are flying into Lauderdale, rent them, pick them up on the way, get them refilled in the Keys and have a great time. I did not check if they have straight air big tanks. Would guess they...

Just got my Compumask and got to wondering... Is it compatible with chlorinated, pool water? Is there a way to turn it off other than pushing the side button? Seems to me that it goes into a sleep mode, with the computer still running. Any ideas on how to bungee cord or otherwise attach...

We handle a line of tool mounts called Performance Advantage. Their website is Pac Tool Mounts: Truck Mounts/Shelves/Shelving; Hanger Brackets; Mounting Brackets for Fire Equipment. They are sturdy enough to use on fire trucks, etc., so I'm guessing would hold up well on a boat. I think their...

We use a nylon saddle type deal with a stretchy band that holds pike poles, round handled tools, etc., until released by stretching the band and unlatching the metal pins. This is used on fire trucks. I work for a Pierce fire truck dealer in SE Ohio and will get you a source tomorrow at work...

I'm fairly new to diving but have been in the fire service 25+ years. I'm on a volunteer FD that has a river we respond to. Lots of boat recreational, fishing & jet ski traffic in the summer and occassional duck hunters in the fall/winter. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the concept of...

We have an Eagle Air for SCBA fills in our FD. One thing we have found when filling SCUBA tanks is having to remove the plastic boot on the bottom of 80 CF tanks. This allows the cylinder to fit into the blast chamber that must be closed and latched to allow air movement from the compressor or...

Thanks for all the replies to my intro. I'm about 3 hours from the pumpkin show but I'm sure it was the good time it always has been. I plan on taking the dive rescue deal but really am not too enthused about diving in the Muskingum River we service. I had a friend of mine who dove in it and...

I was in a dive shop recently and spied a commercial diver's helmet on the shelf. Being new to diving and obviously being rather trusting, I said, "Sure", when the owner offered to let me try on his old helmet he used to use when he did commercial diving. Having seen Men of Honor more than...

Does anyone have any tips/suggestions for leakage into my mask caused by moustache hair? Please don't suggest whacking the thing off. I have tried trimming a stripe below my nose. That seemed to help some but I'm still looking for wisdom from the hirsuite divers on this site. :mr_t:

Just wanting to soapbox for a minute about myself as an introduction to all. New open water PADI. Took my course with Captain Rick McFarland out of Columbus, Ohio. I've dove St. Croix, Key Largo, Fla, Gillboa and Circleville Quarries in Ohio. Am a retired state fire marshal, inspection...
