A Great Regulator is Always a Great Friend

What makes a great regulator?  The difference between a “good” regulator and a “great” regulator can make or break the enjoyment of any dive experience.  Comfort, reliability, and high performance are the most important attributes that a regulator should exhibit.  Every great regulator should make breathing effortless.  Air should be delivered easily and consistently, on demand, and in the quantities required.  And through technology and design, your regulator must be completely reliable.

At Rec Diving, we’ve got a great selection of regulators to choose from.  Whatever your dive destination, our equipment specialists at Rec Diving are happy to help you select the regulator that best suits your diving needs and desires.

What’s even better?  A great breathing regulator doesn’t have to break your bank.  Ask us about high performance in a system that is lightweight and affordable and starting at just $250.00.  Come in and check them out.

Why Dive with an Air-Integrated Dive Computer

Imagine yourself on a relaxing dive. Perhaps you’re photographing a particularly cooperative turtle or just pleasantly swimming alongside your favorite fish. With one easy glance at your air-integrated computer, you check your depth, time and air. You never lose sight of your critter friend and you know exactly how much bottom time you have left and how much air you have left at depth.

Those of us who dive regularly with air-integrated computers know how convenient it is when all of your critical information is accessible on one screen – depth, bottom time and even your breathing rate so you know how fast you are consuming your air.

Check out our entire selection of air-integrated dive computers at Rec Diving, from hoseless models to the newest ultra-compact XP-H.

Try Diving Dry with Rec Diving September 7 & 8

Imagine staying warm and toasty on a dive. You don’t shiver and you don’t have to come up early because you are just too darn cold! Diving in a drysuit seals you off from the cold water and that keeps you warm. It really is amazing! Each year, Rec Diving teams up with the DUI Drysuit team to gear up our divers for a dry suit test dive. If you’ve never tried it, now is your ideal chance.

Join us September 7 & 8 at Gilboa Quarry for the annual DUI Demo Tour.  Enjoy some fun diving and try something new!   Stop by Rec Diving to get your tickets for the event and be sure to let us know you’re coming!  It’s a great chance to meet other divers from Rec Diving and we look forward to seeing you at the Rec Diving staging area.  We’ll have plenty of dive buddies and we are all looking to log some fun dives and share our knowledge of diving dry.  So what are you waiting for?  Join the fun!

Take Care of Your Dive Gear and It Will Take Care of You!

SR_220x300[1]When you go diving, go with confidence in your equipment. When you know it has been routinely serviced and maintained properly, you can totally enjoy your diving experience. After all, that’s why we dive, right? Here are Rec Diving’s tips for the things you should do to maintain your life support system.

Dive equipment manufacturers recommend that the regulator and alternate air source be serviced on an annual basis by an authorized dealer. Between overhauls there are some important care and maintenance procedures to follow. Probably the most important one is to thoroughly rinse the entire system with clean, fresh, water soon after every dive session. Properly done, the first step is to dry the first stage inlet protector and secure it in place with the yoke screw. Rinse the first and second stages thoroughly, allowing water through the mouth piece, exhaust ports and ambient air holes in the first stage body (these holes will not be visible if your first stage is environmentally protected with a S.P.E.C. boot.)

DiverJohn300pngIf you have been diving in salt water, a chlorinated pool, or shore diving where sand or silt is easily stirred up during entries and exits, we suggest a warm water “bath” with a small amount of mild dish soap. The warm, soapy water will allow you to gently pull the hose protectors a few inches away from the first stage. This will allow the metal hose fittings to be cleaned and to have a chance to completely dry. Totally submerge the system and let it soak for thirty to sixty minutes. Follow up the “bath” with a thorough rinse. If possible, at this time, attach the regulator to a scuba tank and turn the air on. Purge the second stage hoses of any water vapor that might have accumulated. Turn the air off, purge, and remove the system. Next, lay the entire system out flat on top of a towel where it will be undisturbed for a day or two. If you have an instrument console that will allow you to easily remove the pressure gauge, compass, and bottom timer or dive computer, then do that as well. Trapped salt water and sand can be harmful to these instruments over a period of time. Run warm water over the compass while rotating the bezel. It should ratchet freely in both directions.

Allow the system to dry completely, and then store it in a cool, dry place. Lay it out flat, away from sunlight, heating elements, furnaces, and water heaters. An empty dresser drawer or closet shelf works well. Do not store your life support system in a sealed, plastic bag or regulator bag. Regulator bags are for transport only!  From time-to-time it is a great idea to slick down all external rubber parts with a clean rag sprayed with a food grade pump silicone product. This will extend the life of these rubber parts as well as keeping them in good looking condition.  Your buoyancy compensator deserves just as much attention. It too should be rinsed thoroughly inside and out with clean, fresh water. B.C. cleaning products are readily available to help keep it clean and smelling good inside and out. Store your B.C. half full of air, fully dried, preferably on a B.C. or large coat hanger in a cool, dry place.  If your regulator system has an octopus as its alternate air source, then most likely your B.C. has a power inflator. Your power inflator deserves annual inspection and/or service, as well. Don’t take this piece of equipment for granted. We can only imagine the feelings you would have after servicing most of your dive gear, arriving at one of your dive destinations, being surrounded by crystal clear water and marine life every color of the rainbow, pushing the power button to adjust your buoyancy and having it stick open, sending you to the surface. All of a sudden, you’re having a bad day in paradise and your dive buddy isn’t happy anymore. Don’t let it happen to you!

Care of scuba cylinders and valves is more basic, but equally important. They should be rinsed with clean, fresh water. Crack the valve open to remove any water vapor that might have gotten into the opening. Always try to store cylinders upright in a cool, dry place. Always maintain positive pressure in the tank. For long term storage, keep the pressure between 300 and 500 psi.

Rec Diving’s recommendation for buoyancy control device, and regulator care and maintenance:

  • B.C. Life by Aquaseal: A buoyancy compensator cleaner and conditioner
  • Food grade Silicone Pump by Trident: A preservative for regulator hoses and outside rubber surfaces
