This is a list of stuff that my friends and I are looking for to complete our dive equipment inventory. If you happen to be in the Corvallis-Eugene-Salem-Portland area and have some of this gear at a reasonable price, please let me know. If you are one of my friends that wants me to keep an eye out for used gear, also let me know.
- Tanks – Aluminum 80’s
- Tanks – Steel HP or LP’s 80’s or bigger
- Tanks – Pony Bottle with/without regulator (Douglas)
- Tanks – Something with a yoke valve that has current VIP and Hydro, and is sub-$50, does NOT have to be SCUBA certified, just for use on the surface (David M)
- Fins – Full foot for use in tropical water and pools, size 15 (USA) or at least really big (Douglas)
- Fins – Boot-style for drysuit, split-fins, size HUGE (Douglas)
- Spear guns – band or air (Douglas and Jacob)
- Lead weights – soft or hard
- Dry Suit – men’s 6′ tall, size 10-ish shoes (Jacob)
- Regulator set – 1st stage yolk, 2nd stage primary and secondary, LP inflater hose, can be warm-water only if cheap, otherwise, must be able to handle ice diving (Douglas for pool and for backup)
These are things that I currently have that I would be willing to sell to my friends or other divers in the area. Ask me if I have checked the gear out or had it serviced by a shop. For the most part, this stuff is as-is and has no warranty but I do expect it to work. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bought it!
- Lead weights – round hockey-puck style made of a lead-tin alloy so it will stand up to salt water, have about 40 or 50 pounds, willing to remold to a different shape if you have a mold and will pay for the fuel to melt the lead (and will throw in a six pack) – $3/pound (negotiable)
- Tanks – 2x Steel 95 LP’s – Last hydro in 2006, VIP’ed in Januar 2009, really nice Faber tanks with ScubaPro valves that have both DIN and Yolk capabilities, almost no scratches, tank boots, valve covers, white with huge SCUBAPRO lettering on the side – $200/each.
So far, I have successfully found the following and given them nice homes:
- Tanks – 4x Aluminum 80’s – Jacob and friends
- Tanks – 1x Steel 95 LP’s – Brenton’s friend
- Tanks – 1x Steel 95 LP’s – Lance
- Lead weights – 40ish pounds – Douglas
