WTB: H-Valve w/wo tank

My buddy and I are slowly working our skills up to approach Cavern/Intro training.

We are looking for a set of H-valves or H-valve tanks that might be picked up for a fair price. We are in the Orlando vicinity.

Thanks,
Dave

I've received a couple of PM's. Great advice! Many have suggested that we simply skip the hvalves and move right into doubles. We considered it, but we blundered into a deal on two h-valve psts we couldn't pass up.

Plus, we both only have single wings and have hemorrhaged the last of our dough on lights (Barry Miller rocks!, its a light...its a hammer...it still works).

Basically I am looking for another set of h-valve tanks so that we have more gas for that inevitable second dive when it isn't practical to go get the others refilled.

Thanks,
Dave

Try calling Loyd Baily. I seem to remember someone who said he bought up some a lot of off Brand H valves and was selling them for around a hundred. Sometimes they are kinda hard to find and then the price is expensive. ( Like when I got mine) The advice of others on going to doubles does make a lot of sense, and I wish I had also switched straight to them but I also understand the money issue.

Since you started that tech diving stuff, are you getting rid of your OW gear? I'm looking for used jacket BC XXL or XL . Thanks, apologize for the offtopic.

I sold my Zeagle Ranger a little while back, sorry. I have to say, I was hesitant at first, but the bp/w is more comfortable, far easier to maintain trim, and cheaper.

Of course, I am now in that limbo where I have tech gear but am still working on the skills and the comfort of said gear before acquiring more training. It makes the OW cattle barges a bit of a different experience. My brightly colored, dangly ornamented brethren either think I am a fount of diving knowledge or a dangerous black clad menace.
