That's why we use a switch block arrangement. Different to Matt's and same every dive. But then again our experience prior to using JJs was RB80s so all of this is quite familiar.

Good post Peter. I'd make one comment though. Board owners are legally liable for forums and participation is not a right. It can be a difficult job and when someone is making a fuss away from the forums, via PMs or emails it may not be apparent to the general membership what is going on...

Thank you for all your kind words. Let things settle down for a bit. Get the new guys feet under the table and they can decide how to go forward. Dave made some very good posts on here and contributed a lot but unfortunately not all positive. I've done what I believed to be necessary to give...

I would not normally enter into a public debate about why any member has been banned. however on this occasion I need to state clearly that this was done under the old ownership and due to his behaviour towards members and the moderators over several months. I assure you that he was given the...

One year ago, almost exactly to the day, Al and I started CCRX in response to some very childish behaviour by another forum owner. Our work here is done. I never wanted to run a CCR forum although with one or two notable exceptions you have all been gentlemen and a pleasure to work with. I'm...

How about a forum - where everyone gets to know each other and doesn't charge for adverts...... ;)

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS Recall of Rechargeable Batteries & Chargers March 20, 2013 Although the exact circumstances are still under investigation, Liquivision Products, Inc. has received three reports of explosions related to rechargeable battery products sold as accessories by...

We cable tie to right position when diving 3s. 7s non issue.

That's me. I don't want editing out :) *edit* No. It's Garf. You must stop diving with various GUE divers attached to your fins Mark ;)

Dive depth and duration changes the gear load not environment. I can't imagine taking camel backs on a wreck dive but that's because I don't do six hour wreck dives. My gear is identical regardless of dive apart from smbs and pigtail which are interchangeable. Kevin jones once asked me if...

Well Kieron would be your man for that.

Fascinating. Mind you, if I recall correctly you wear very very thin gloves which make you more dexterous.

Welcome!

Is it really necessary to do all the 'check it first' macho stuff. Stuff breaks mid dive. It's happened to all of us. On one dive, I checked my primary scooter on assembly. I checked it again when I put it in the water then repinned. I put on a stupid number of stages and my RB. Picked...

Welcome John We run a friendly site here. Offering advice on products is fine - it benefits our members and information is welcome - particularly from manufacturers. Overtly commercial posts - well we obviously welcome advertisers. But you have been around the block long enough to know...

Get over it. If forums stop mates bantering, family or not, they die. If being a moderator precluded friends or family posting, ditto. Sockpuppets are multiple identities of one user designed to cover their identity. When three or four members of one family dive they are entitled to have...

I've done a fair few dives where a truely hypoxic gas was needed but not that many. I'd use 10/70 though to have a gas with a good wob and narcotic potential. Is 10/50 just a lazy option or truely needed? Anyway - I digress. Descend/surface swim with breathable gas available. Same goes for...

I'd probably do it on deco. (Normally get bored and have been known to get tools out and fix all kinds of stuff) I carry spare zip ties anyway and I could rob a deco stage of a mouthpiece. Nothing to lose at that point though - if you can't fix it no matter. So the more interesting question...

We've been a little light on moderation from different time zones and a little short of tech support recently. Randy Thornton will be joining the moderator team and his son Josh is going to help out with tech support. Join me in welcoming them.

We do not have a memorials section. You are thinking of another board. Here we ask for a bit of respect on all sides. The topic heading doesn't change that. With regard to your comments about people who feel they wish to offer condolences, I would suggest that is more illuminating about your...
