Faber LP95

I've got a Faber LP95 that is due for hydro and VIP. I really don't need this tank and would rather have an AL80 3000psi with DIN valve. The Faber is convertible valve BTW. I'll trade straight across for an 80 with current inspections or sell the 95 for $150 as is. It had plus rating on the recently...

Re: Note from Washington Scuba Alliance

Do you have a link for info on the artificial reef layout? I dive the park once in a while. Is it going to be by the boat launch or off the other beach? Boat launch is a shorter walk for divers but I could see them going to the other beach for safety. This is my backyard almost. I'd like to know mor...

Re: Fort Flagler RIP

How sad. This was on my bucket list for places to drive and dive with my camper. Not sure it is worth the trip now. You probably saved me some money.
Thanks for the post,

Re: Tanks for Sale

I have sale pending on the doubles and the 100's. I had an inquiry on the 30 but haven't heard back after posting the pictures so I will give it a few more days.
Thanks again,

Re: Tanks for Sale

The doubles were purchased by me for use as singles. I doubled them up shortly after. The bands and valves are OMS. The valves assy is the model which allows the center post to be swiveled. Valves and bands were new when I purchased them too. They are XS scuba tanks. 20131115-_MG_4734.jpg 20131115-_...

Tanks for Sale

2 Steel 100's both recent VIP and current Hydro. They show some mileage on the outside but are still good tanks. $150/each. They have 32% in them now so if you don't have a Nitrox card to show me, I'll have to drain them. If it's an issue, I'll dive them and refill with air for you. 1set doubles ste...

Re: Diver Found at Skyline

Bring it Bassman. Supposed to be some other southenders coming down that day. You have to do the shore dive to see the good stuff. Bring a big tank or your best SAC-you"ll want the bottom time.

To each his own on giving up stills. I'll admit that videos are fun to watch but good video requires allot of work after the shoot that I personally dont have time for & I think the 1 challenge that is shared between stills & video is that if the raw footage isnt good, you can only edit it s...

Re: Camano Island

Done Cama beach & access makes it just not worth it. I do Camano Island state park maybe 10 times a year. I like the access there since you can practically park on the beach & in the summer when the kelp is in bloom, the diving can actually be pretty awesome. You need to plan slack. Current ...

There are many requirements to establish an artificial reef & expect it to thrive. Generally a brisk current across said Reef is a must for providing nutrients to any potential inhabitants among other things. Water quality, ambient light, & the materials chosen for this purpose are a few oth...

Re: Sidemount experiment

Yep, you've done a pretty nice job putting together. Diving with one tank just scares the hell out of me-can't do it myself. Your wing looks very streamlined-I like it. I have the angel wings going on on my setup but I dont really have a singles size wing to play with. By the way, I put togeter 2 SS...

Re: Sidemount experiment

The tanks should be clipped to armpit Drings, not on the shoulder. The bungies keep the tops of the tanks tucked close into you. I hate aluminum tanks to begin with & only dive AL80's when I need ALLOT of deco gas & then it is in conjunction with a set of steel doubles. Steel 100's would dro...
