Re: Worthington hp 100 alloy problem

I would strongly recommend contacting the hydro facility directly. They are required by DOT to provide you with a form with test results. Also, call Worthington directly and ask about this alloy issue. Most likely what has append is the hydro tester failed to perform the 90% test (round out test) re...

Diver vs. Starfish

Last Saturday I got to the dive site very early. While waiting for my buddy to arrive, I noticed a diver walking back to his car with a Starfish in his hand. He was getting ready to toss it in his car. At first I thought this had to be student diver. Maybe I could talk to his instructor and get them...

FS: Fourth Element Subxero undergarment

I bought the Fourth Element Subxero jacket last year, I only took it diving two time. It never fit me right and I hate to keep it since it is unlikely I would ever wear it again. I really want it to go to a good home, I paid $300 it is a men’s medium Make offer (PM please) If you are interested, I c...

Re: diving in Puerto Rico?

Dan, I recommend you also try La Parguera, it is about 1 ½ hr drive from Rincon. They have 2 or 3 dive operators one I would recommend is Parguera Divers. Here you can schedule a boat dive to beautiful walls, I got to see black coral at 100 feet (the site was Guanica wall). If you have an opportunit...

Re: What are you using for wing inflation?

I guess you could be right, I should just keep working on this new configuration or go back to my old undergarment
It is very possible that I over compensated and added too much weight.

Thanks

What are you using for wing inflation?

Up to now I have been using my dil cylinder, but I hardly ever use the wing for buoyancy. Normally I use my drysuit for buoyancy, running my drysuit inflation from my bailout. Got a new undergarment, I had to add 4 more pounds and I still had a terrible dive yesterday (legs very floaty). Now I am th...

Went for a fun dive at the t-dock today, and I found the sign.
Anyone know what is going on?

Re: Maxtec Cells

A little off topic, but I taught in the Blue Hole Santa Rosa NW for a few years. Apparently sometime late 80 early 90 an Open water instructor took 2 open water students to one of the cave at about 140 feet. I don’t know if you can call them caves, but more like arms extending away from the main spr...

I have to agree with Joshua, this should be required not just for CCR divers but all tech divers.

Wow, he makes this complex subject simple and clear.
He is so right about how we (diver) always blame the scrubber. Last Saturday I had a funny even happen to me and my first response was, it must be the scrubber.

I know it’s not recommended by AP, but was hoping someone had been using them :bounce:
Seacure has started to list a few rebreather models (Meg is in the list), but not mine.

Seacure Hi-Flow for CCR

Is anyone using the Seacure Hi-Flow? Long time ago, I used to love my Seacure mouthpiece on OC (stopped using them when I became an instructor). I am starting to experience jaw fatigue on the long CCR dives. Looking at all the reasons why I stopped using them, I don’t think they apply now. Any thoug...
