Could someone tell me how to find out if my Mares MC1 computer, that
I've bought recently, is RGBM one?
I thought, tech. manual should contain necessary info, but even Mares
main web site tech manuals don't mention RGBM at all.

If I have a steel 72 cylinder(working pressure 2200psi)and a steel
85(working pressure 2400psi) both filled to 2200psi which has more air?
Does anyone know a formula for this?
Is there a chart published somewhere?

For those of you who are not on rec.scuba:
There will be a service of remembrance for Mickey Smith, better known as
AirHog around these parts...
The service will be at 11:00 a.m.. Saturday, November 1

I just recently got a dive computer, Mares M1 RGBM.  I haven't used it
yet.  Apart from rinsing in fresh water and drying out, is there any
other special care that should be taken?
Thx

I hope someone can give me a direction to go on this problem.  I've only
owned 2 BC's, a US Divers Cruse and now a Ranger, and I'm having the same
problem on both.  As I dive, the BC keeps sliding up, so that the shoulder
straps end up over my head.  I think it's because I'm a ...

I know Mickey is loved by some and hated by others.  Goddamnit I don't know
how to do this.
I loved him more than anything...  and now he is gone.
Mickey passed away in his sleep last night.  I am not joking...  this is not

I just read PST gave a warning they were going to lay off 1/2 it's

I have narrowed my choice to a SeaQuest QD+ SL, Scubapro Glide 2000 or
Transpac II with rec wings.  I trained to PADI advanced on dive school
jackets but don't have the chance to try before I buy.  What should I do?

it seems that no fin shoe is large enough for an x-large dry suit.
Do you have any suggestions for a fin to use when the foot of the
dry suit is really bulky ?

Very informative, very well written, nice reading for the coming
season... It will give you a new perpective and change your attitude
toward the sport. It will also make you THINK. I recommend it
especially to advanced divers.

Just curious if anyone is using LED lights in diving.  I just bought a
couple for work and around the house and they seem to be pretty reliable and
of good construction.  I have a Streamlight 4AA that just seems to run
forever.  I have not had the chance to take it underwater but ...

I was told that the titanium version of the scuba pro mk25/s600 could
not be used for nitrox.
My friend is looking at a new reg specifically the atomic b2 which has

just wondering what the interest might be for a 2.1 meg pix digital with

I am talking with a rep for a company that makes similar items and suggested

A friend just gave me a helium bottle, 350 ft3 size.  The dates on it
go back to 1909.  It has a nazi stamp [Swastica, but no eagle] on the

rating is 2015 psi and it only has ICC numbers.  Has anyone seen a

Looking for information on compressors.  I see the ads in the back of the
magazines but really wonder if they are adequate.  I am looking for a good
new or slightly used compressor for under $10,000 US
