IF IT’S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT IS!

Posted under Uncategorized

imageWe warned you in this post a year ago about miflex hoses. Now DAN (Divers Alert Network) posted a additional issue with these hoses. They allow for polymorphic crystallization corrosion on the inside constricting & potentially blocking the air flow. Cyclical heating & cooling at oil-water interfaces combined with the molecular structure of the internal tube lining promotes crystallization of these materials allowing growth to accumulate over time & that is just what’s happening inside! The external fiber woven sheath acts like a cheese grater.  The hose sheath fibers collect sand, soils & vegetation. These hoses fray & the plastic sheath fibers stick out & can stab you! What is wrong with rubber? They are stronger, last longer, flex as much & cost less.

Neptunes Robert, Mike & Bill scored this past weekend with some mighty fine large lobsters. These hunters do not waste any part of a Lobster. They eat the carapace meat as well as the tail. Never throw away the “head” of a fresh Lobster, it can be more work but worth all the effort with more flavor in the head than tail & the legs taste like crab legs!

imageHere is a piece of diving history! We recently serviced this Royal Aqualung DA Aquamaster double hose regulator for David Knight. It now works better than new. Something to consider for photo as the exhaust bubbles are out the back plus the retro cool factor is over the top!

OXYGEN COMPATIBLE?

Posted under Uncategorized

imageimageThis valve is brand new from a online reseller, touted as Oxygen compatible. You can see the debris inside the threads, also the o-rings are Buna rubber not Viton! This new valve is not O2 compatible & is not even clean enough for Safeair, Enriched air Nitrox or any breathing gas!
