I agree. Those are the only O-Rings I carry for our dive gear. I think you’ll get a kick out of this Alec. You know my location and down here a lot of dive stores don’t really know Shinola lol. Another great video and tech tips for sure. Keep them coming pls. Some day I can’t wait when u come down here again and if I can I really want to meet u and dive with you sir. Thank u for so much that u have given to the diving committee and Kevin for putting the videos together as well Be safe y’all
I know Dean but this product was from Dive Kawartha. There are probably several variations on this as each store has tuned products for its own customers.
Most of my vintage gear is before 1975. After that large manufacturers released many many models that I don't have to show. If I can get my hands on one I will do a video on it Luca. Thanks for watching.
2:20 not all dive stores are like that, my local dive store is very bad, when I go to buy something I know what I want and I just explain to them. But if somebody came inside as new diver and they don't know anything, they can't really help them... I asked for webbing for backplate harness and they asked me whats that, I asked for lead stoppers and they didn't know what that is...
It does happen but if they want to stay in business, either the staff or owners need to get a better response than "what's that?". Look at my miniseries LDS Pro tips on what shops should do to be a success. A
Maybe I'm confused but is it not the case that you only need O2 compatible O rings for parts that will be subjected to >40% oxygen? Unless you're using your regulator for >40% EAN you wouldn't need O2 O rings right?
@@scubasteveandunderwaterroc3547 thats still only true of O rings that come into contact with >40%. Even if the shop does partial pressure blending. Your reg o rings don't need to be O2 compatible
@@KB-gd6fc Your reg O rings don't need to be O2 compatible because the belnd they would come into contact with (assuming you let the blend mix after a while) would be less than 40%. You still need a Nitrox O ring for the partial pressure fill.
I don't find keeping spg o-rings to be valuable, the last thing I want to do at a dive side is to replace those tiny o-rings. Instead I throw in a couple of complete spools in my kit.
Spare gear is another option, more expensive but if you can do it, good for you. Many times I have performed o-ring replacements on dive boats or on shore to save a dive trip. The key point we agree on is to be prepared with parts, gear or a buddy who might not miss their gear!
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter I've done o-ring replacements at the dive sites, the spg o-ring is just one that I don't want to do except on my work bench. The spool itself is already easy to drop and lose, and expecting to replace the o-rings just seems like a good chance to lose it.

Thanks for sharing Will and who knows when we can travel again. Glad to know I can still show you something new.
Another GREAT video. Nothing "cool" but definitely a dive saver. Unless you save some one else's dive, then you are very cool to them!!!
Very true!
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter thaks for your vedio
Great kit indeed. I though Dean at The Dive Academy designed this kit, I got it from him years ago.

Nice video, in your chanel you talk about two hose regulator but you didn’t talk yet about the aqualung mistral from early 2000

Alec you are legend
My grand kids thinks so, my wife thinks I'm nuts. Who is right??
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunterThe grand kids for sure 👍

You still need a Nitrox O ring because some fillers may use pure O2 + air to make your blend, and because of that a normal O ring won't work.

Doesn't Kevin ever say at least "Hi" to the camera?
Oh no, that would take far more intelligence than what he is burdened with today. Also he does not like people which is why we get along so well.
hahaha. where is that bit of oxy compatible lube? origs worthless if you do not have some lube at hand.... :)
Glad you like it Chirana.
