And safety should be number one for recreational divers. Ive seen too many people who think they are far better in the water than they are...And some are not with us today. FWIW, safety is number one for technical divers as well... Be it OC or CC. If you have been associated with tech divers who le...

IMO, to say that any dive above 200 feet has no need for a rebreather is wayyyy off base. That is to say that one does not need helium above 200 feet. I for one do. Anything below 130 and I have helium in the mix. My rEvo purchase was 100 percent made due to the cost of helium. I dive it at recreati...

If you factor in open circuit tank fill time, my set up time for a rebreather dive is MUCH less than open circuit.

To the OP, did you ask the 2 guys why they choose to dive them?

Haha. Man, just what this site needed.... A little livening up.

Josh, I'm surprised you took the time to type out a response.

Ehhhh, being on a rEvo now, I can't bitch about much at all.

I guess I could bitch about ABO. What used to cost me $45 for a big bottle is now $150 out here in Oahu.

It's good to have friends in low places!

Out here in paradise, a bottle of UHP is $500. Industrial is $400. We used to have a shop out here that sold helium for 1 buck a cubic foot. Unfortunately, they lost their base contract and had to close up. The remaining shop that does trimix can't find their ass with 2 hands and a map. If you are n...

I would suggest Aaron's in Kailua. I know a few of the instructors there. Good group of folks.

If you dive a steel 120, you are obviously not allowed to attend this dive.

If you decide to look at hydraulics international boosters, give me a PM, I know a guy.... I got a deal on a group buy and am on the hook for one more. I do the same as Richard, pump straight helium through the compressor. I use a HUGE trash bag and can get the supply bottle down to zero psi before ...

I'll go ahead and say it... Going below 130ish up that way sans helium is about the stupidest thing you can do. No idea yet what the planned depth was, but it looks to be deeper than 130. I just had a damn near knock down drag out fight with my buddy in Florida for going to 145 closed circuit on air...

Still have some at the great price. Now is the time if you want one. My hook up won't last long.

I'm your huckleberry for a Magnus... But you already knew that. On a side note, my buddy has the Genesis 600. I got to take it for a spin. Nice scooter and I kind of like the variable speed switch on the fly... Even though the trigger wiring looks like its from an episode of Sanford and son. I just ...

If you need gps numbers for either, let me know. Onamac point can have some current, but it ain't too awful bad The nice thing is, even if it is a bit much and you can't make the anchor, head 090 for about 100 kicks and you will be onshore. Head up current 500 yards and then swim back out to the boa...

Especially for me. I have hairy legs.

There is also hat island reef on the south end of hat island. About 60 foot deep and pretty bad ass.

Sounds crappy. Of course, I knew it would be when I read "we were with a large group".

Did you ever have a bad time on a small boat? ...well, except that time you lost your mask and that other time and... Haha

Been in Hawaii for about 6 months now. Aren't we friends on Facebook? That's it, I'm not liking any more of your posts.

If need be, I'll wear a skirt and pumps when I dive it. With all the cash I'm gonna save on helium, I can afford many pairs of each.

Yup. Got a smoking deal on a mini III with the RMS!

When you coming out here for some deep diving?.... In a wetsuit!!!!! :-)

Selling my predator. Less than a year old. Has about 80 dives on it. Comes with everything like it would new Don't have pics to post now but posts on deco stop and skooba bored have pics. I'll try to post pics later. Selling as my RB comes with a SW controller already. 625 shipped to you!

I found that out today thanks to p pants pm. Say that 5 times real fast.

Sorry to those who I blew up their inbox trying to send the reply. Lol

Ross, you wouldn't believe how much faster these things make your phone!

Folks who sent me a PM.. all my messages are hung in my outbox. I have no idea why. I'll get hold of you on Facebook or email here in a few minutes.

I have come across a great deal on the Hydraulics International 3G boosters. If anyone is interested in a new one, let me know. I have a few to sell.

I don't appreciate folks creating animosity when we should be attempting to encourage consensus based decision making. I have no idea how we can get people to work together though. Spearfishing is kind of like masturbation, more people do it than talk about doing it in public. I'm man enough to adm...
