If the prediction had come through Dave would have had a beach house

Re: LTB 2 HP steel tanks

Actually. Don I have. But being in Alaska we have that special feature of shipping. Shops are estimating about 140 per tank to ship so 440x2= 880 + 140x2= 280 =1160 if I could pick up 2 tanks in the 275 to 300 range I would be able to spend the week end and visit a friend and still come out ahead.

LTB 2 HP steel tanks

Looking for a couple of HP steel tanks. I would prefer 119 or 130 but would consider 100's. I am actually coordinating a trip to the area so there would not be any shipping issues, but becasue I am flying in I need to be able to grab 2 at the same time. They do not need to be a set.

Re: Weight Belts and Rescue Diving

I A dive buddy is different from an EMS first responder. Thats EMS person has no obligation to you, nor to put their life on the line for you, nor would I expect them to. A dive buddy is different. You each put your life in the others hand, the moment you go underwater. I think of it like a contrac...

Re: Weight Belts and Rescue Diving

If I need to get my buddy to the surface, I'm gonna get him/her to the surface asap. If I get bent, but it saves my buddy's life, so be it. Getting bent is the last thing in my mind. Getting them to the surface to perform emergency treatment is. Sorry But I disagree the first rule of being a rescue...

Re: Small dive job

Ah the plan as it sits last night is to move it into the dry dock which was about 1/3 a mile away. ( finished that at 9 pm yesterday after 11 hours in the water or standing around waiting to be in the water) it will be welded on for awhile to patch leaks ( this is after it was welded on for 2 weeks ...

Re: light canister battery not charging

My thought is your batteries are toast. The charger is working that is why the light head activates under the charger but that batteries will not hold or accept a charge
