Huish Outdoors recalls Oceanic and Hollis Scuba Diving Regulators

0
By on Equipment News

On June 30, 2019, Health Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC) and Huish Outdoors recalled Oceanic and Hollis first stage regulators. The metal regulator attaches to the scuba tank valve and controls the pressure of the air a diver breathes. The problem is that the diving regulators can restrict airflow at low tank pressures (below 500 psi), and can pose a drowning hazard to divers. As of June 15, 2018, Huish Outdoors has not received any reports of incidents or injuries to divers in Canada or the United States. In Canada, 326 units of the affected products…

Cylinder Corrosion and Prevention Techniques

1
By on Equipment News, Scuba Features

Without protection, corrosion is a natural process for many substances. Corrosion converts a refined material to its more chemically stable form. This generally occurs in metals but can also occur in ceramics and polymers. The corrosion process can also be explained as a destruction of materials. (Wikipedia, n.d.)Corrosion can weaken bridges, break down vehicles, erode buildings and weaken cylinders. Since this electrochemical oxidation process is normal, but unwelcome, we want to slow the process and maintain a cylinder’s structural integrity as long as is possible. Protective layer When a cylinder is produced, and its refined material is exposed to the…

Vintage gear makes scuba enthusiasts better divers

By on Equipment News, Scuba Features

Shortly after learning to dive in 2007 I was so hooked that I wanted to learn more about the sport. My interest turned to vintage diving while on a dive trip to Grand Cayman in 2010.

She was a lawyer from Illinois who started diving vintage because some of her local dive buddies did. It was interesting to see her dive. She seemed to dive vintage…
