Re: Back in the PNW, need to find a diveshop for maint
So, I'm back in the PNW and looking for a diveshop around Everett and Lynnwood. Need to find a place to fix my neck-seal, service my regs, and hydro/viz my tanks. Also, need an undergarment and in the future, another OLED computer. Why would you let your gear get that way? :popcorn: Because unlike ...

Re: Back in the PNW, need to find a diveshop for maint
Thanks spatty!
Woodinville isn't too far away, but it is a 40 minute round trip. But, I'd rather drive to a place that is trust worthy. My regs are atomic and scubapro, though I may sell the second stage scubapro soon as I much prefer the atomic.
Thanks for any and all advice!

Re: DIY thread
Thanks, one of these days I'll have to get with you and figure out how to make an electronic switch. Those SST's and XML's sure are big emitters, they do make it tough to focus all that light into a coherent beam.

So I connect my din Atomic first to my tank and open the valve. I get a air leaking/hissing out. Turns out my din is loose from my first. I grab my Allen wrench and tighten it down (was finger loose) reconnect it and all is well. Is the Allen suppose to be torqued to a spec or something? Had the sa...

Re: Recharge When?
I started this thread to get more knowledge about the kind of batteries that are used in scuba. There have been some good inputs from posters and I've gotten some more info from outside sources. Here is what I think I know as of now, subject to further factoids, of course. In scuba batteries are de...

I'm not sure what their claim of available duty cycles has to do with sales; except that it would discourage me from buying their batteries. I assume these batteries are no different than those I'm accustomed to using. For those the rule is to use until failure unless in certain critical applicatio...

Re: Looking for a great inexpensive light?
I would expect some dimming across the burn-time. An alkaline C cell (highest quality) can put out roughly 8 watts for 1 hour. With 3 you have the capacity of 24 watt hours. The emitter in this light draws 10 watts at max output (the claimed 1k lumen), so you can see that it would be capable of max...

Re: 5-28, the adventures of solo scooter boy @ Sund Rock
I would say since air is thinner than water, you would have less resistance on the surface..... You're forgetting about surface tension, and as you're out of trim there may be more drag. D If I didn't know better I would claim Dash was faster on the surface because he was tall and had a long waterl...
