I'd like to prepare a weight belt based on small lead balls.
I'm aware of the gas problem involved with melting lead.
I tried dropping slowly melted lead into a bowl w water, but result w
long & sharp lead pieces.

Will it damage my dive knives to soak them in sodium hydrosulfite (iron

I tried the cover off a 2006 G250 but the writing does not line up. It's

should buy the type that connects to the low pressure bc inflator hose.  The
later would waste less air correct?  Any opinions ...

Anyone have tips for pulling tight hose protectors onto regulator hoses?

Hi Ya'll.
Just bought a jvc mg77 with an Ikellite housing.  Wondering what lights do
you guys recommend for deep, dark scary Canadian waters?

Until I purchase a dive computer (hopefully 6 months or so), I am looking at
buying a dive watch (time, and chronograph functions) as my current watch would

having its first swim in the Caribbean Sea at some 30m / 100ft.
Unsurprisingly it is no longer readable (and of course the camera is
