It's not just the locals who need to hit their re-set buttons. The last trip down there, Ginne was one of the few spots open and one of the divers complained about then entrance fees at Ginnie. I...

Absolutely. When I am diving with newish cave divers, if they have not done it before, I'll suggest they watch, and then run a reel into the ear. Then I'll pull it on the way out and have them run...
My Intro instructor had some faults but failing to require students to run lines was not one of them. He had me running lines around the eye spiraling all the way to the surface after exiting the...
As I recall KISS recommends an Apeks DS4 oxygen first stage and includes a disc that replaces the hydrostatic pressure transmitter to convert it to a non depth compensated first stage. That's the...
Yes, that. Among other things.
I'm more sentimental than most and I'll fight longer than I should for a lost cause, but I'm pretty much done with the NACD.
I lost respect for the various BODs and the personal agendas they...
I'll second the suggestion to rethink LP 45s or LP 50s as deco bottles. The buoyancy traits make them less than ideal, especially when you are already loaded down in fresh water with cave filled...
I'm in agreement with Tom that an accurate gauge is important. I have a calibrated (and re-calibratable) gauge that I plug in line when boosting O2, and as a check on the other two gauges in the...
Yes it is true that it's a violation of federal DOT regulations to use an incorrect burst disc in the tank. On the other hand the DOT only has jurisdiction over tanks used in interstate commerce.

I'm rebuilding an older version of a Haskel AGT 7/15 for a local dive shop and the 5 3/4" ID barrel for the air drive has some spots inside where the barrel has de-laminated.
I'm looking for...
We were last weekend. Basically it's green and maybe 30-40 ft viz below Martz, past Martz the green goes away but there is still a fair amount of particulate but about 60' of viz, and past the half...
I used to be able to get stainless steel "burst" discs that were just never going to burst. They work well to.
However, do not double up and use two copper burst discs. The assembly is designed...
I grew up in SD and spent a fair number of years of my adult life there. I transferred to DC 11 years ago and moved to NC 7 years ago.
It's different in the big rural flat states out west. When I...
You are an optimist. Let me edit it for you:
Option 1:
I mean, where does a tire blow out on your car? Across the tire place during business hours or in the middle of the night in "fly over...
Greenville. We could possibly meet for delivery at Fantasy or Mystery lake on a weekend.
It's a good thing to remember as well that "thirds" was intended for use with a 3 man team. With a 2 man team it's right on the edge with no margin if one of the team suffers total gas loss at max...
LP 95s for sale two sets. Can sell as sidemount tanks or with isolator valve and heavy duty bands.
I set galvanized, the other white paint over galvanized.
Not sure on manufacture, but they...
We have a few we could sell - both aluminum and SS. OMS and Dive Rite plates.
The Eye is faster, but deco is much more convenient in the Eye, especially when you have stops deeper than 20'. The Eye will also accommodate a lot more people. It kinda sucks on a busy day to see...
I'll second Forrest's comment. Plan on near zero viz in the run from Little Devils and plan on getting stepped on a time or two.
You'll also need to ask people to move off the steps, but I've...
