Sunken Treasure Regulator Trade in Opportunity

Have you wanted to get or need a new regulator or dive computer, if so Sunken Treasure is offering trade in deals whether it works or not. contact Rich for more details


the Tradition of the Cannon Hole at the Race Ground Island, in the West Branch,of the Susquehanna river as told the English by the Indians after peace, was that a party of French and Indians had left the lake country in the fall of 1756 to make permanent advance to the forks of the Susquehanna, bringing along three small brass cannon. Striking the headwaters of the Susquehanna (West branch), they descended by water to about the mouth of Loyal Sock creek, where, landing, they sent a reconnoitering party to the top of the Blue hill overlooking the forks and Fort Augusta, then partially built. Seeing the advancement of the fort and the number of men guarding it, considered it imprudent to attack and so reported to the main body who after consultation, decided to return; as the water was falling, finding themselves encumbered with their cannon, they threw them in the deep pot hole, or eddy, at the upper end of the old time race ground island, which has been known as the Cannon Hole ever since. Fort Augusta continued on the alert for French aggressions until some time after the capture of Quebec by Wolf in 1759, which virtually decided the control of the Canadas and, of course, of the Indian allies of the French.

* Breathe less nitrogen when you dive
* Longer bottom times
* Work towards further qualifications and learn about your dive computer
* Enhance your diving vacations

t Continue your education. If your interested in a PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course call Rich at 570.398.1458 and we’ll try and set one up that works for you.

With summer just around the corner and diving season just getting started, many people haven't been doing as much during the winter as they should have been to keep themselves or their equipment in shape.
   To get your equipment back in shape is easy.  Just take it to your authorized dealer and have its yearly service done.  No, equipment is not "OK" if it hasn't been used.  As a matter of fact, diving equipment is better off used than left setting around.  It's sort of like your body and if you haven't been working on keeping that in shape you know how hard it is to do the things you use to do.  You really don't want to be in the water and out of shape with equipment that doesn't work.
   To get yourself back in shape can be easy if you just dedicate a little time every other day.  Yes we all want to look good but it does take time.  Remember the old saying you have to crawl before you can walk.  Speaking of walking this is a great way to start getting back into shape.  Only about a half an hour a day will do and if you take someone from your family this is known as quality time.  All gain, no pain.  Walking is a low-impact, aerobic workout that burns the same number of calories as running the same distance-but with much less stress on the joints and muscles.  Remember most of all, to do some stretching before you start and when you finish.

Cold Hands—Warm Gloves from 4th Element made
from Ocean Positive Neoprene

Limestone Neoprene

During the neoprene production process, limestone is used to replace petrochemicals to form rubber chips. You achieve the same performance as traditional neoprene, but with way less environmental impact.

Recycled Rubber

One of the key ingredients of neoprene, Eco Carbon Black, is recycled by our wetsuit factory from post-consumer scrap tires. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emissions by 200g per wetsuit.

After the neoprene creation process, the redundant trimmed materials will be recycled and reused in the mixing process to produce more neoprene sheets. Overall huge amounts of raw materials are saved, energy consumption is reduced and waste water and air emissions are minimized during production.

 Maximise thermal protection and dexterity with outstanding flexibility in this 3mm glove. Reshaped for 2021, the fit is improved with enhanced stretch across the back of the hand, whilst ensuring minimum water ingress thanks to fused seams. The longer length cuff can be trimmed to the wearer’s preferred length thanks to reinforced bar tacks in the wrist seams, allowing optimal comfort and performance.The 3mm gloves give outstanding dexterity - ideal for photography and videography. Features include: stretch neoprene for fit and comfort, and a Thermoflex lining for warmth, sealed seams to minimise water ingress, easy donning minimalist design, and a carbonite finish for grip and durability.also available in 5mm

Reviews:My hands always get COLD and a pair of my favorite WARM gloves I use to wear were of course where discontinued, the best part and the reason for their warmth I believe was the way the seams were sealed. These 4th Element gloves are made the same way…….Rich B

I used the gloves this past weekend for the PADI Rescue Diver class, and they were plenty warm for extended periods in 54 degree water in the Puget Sound. The gloves were thin and flexible enough for the endless rounds of removing gear from myself and various volunteer "victims…..John H

I use the 3 mil usually , but when the water gets below 50º at depth, I change to these and my hands are warm . I can still hit camera buttons with them also. Worth the price !!…..Stephen M

Most divers who spent anytime in the water knew Mark Hanlin, He was one of the good guys Liked by so many he was more than willing to answer questions or help people improve their diving skills He loved to dive and Fish. I’ve wanted to keep this on the web page in his memory for at least this year. Mark rest in piece.

Cressi-Sub USA Recalls Buoyancy Compensator Devices
Due to Drowning Hazard

Cressi has indentified that some metal fittings on the inflator hose can cause an airflow restriction and failure to inflate, or improper inflation of the BCD, posing a drowning hazard to the user

.This recall involves Scuba Buoyancy Compensator Devices (BCDs) with LP inflator hoses. The LP inflator hoses attach to the regulator first stage of the BCD. The following Cressi base models, as identified on the label stitched to the pocket on the BCDs, are included in the recall: Patrol (IC74160), Quartz (JIC74190), Start (IC72170), Start Pro (IC72190), Aquaride (IC74080), Travel Light (IC7406), Commander Evolution (IC771000), and Scorpion (IC77000). Only inflator hoses with serial numbers 007/22, 019/22 or 035/22 stamped into the metal fitting that attaches to the BCDs are included in the recall.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scuba BCDs and contact Cressi-sub to receive a free replacement hose with installation instructions including a pre-paid mailing label for returning the recalled hoses

Aqualung issues Calypso Regulator and the I330R Dive computer Recall

December 30 2021…..Aqualung is conducting a recall of specific batches of Calypso regulators on both Din & Yoke versions. These may have a quality defect due to a variation in the manufacturing process. Only some Calypso regulators with specific CPN’s (common part numbers) and serial numbers are affected by this recall.

Potential issue: A hole has been drilled out of specification in the high-pressure port, leaving a wall thickness in a vulnerable state. An uncontrollable free flow of the second stage could occur if this thin wall section should rupture under pressure. A pressure test has proved that an affected body will not rupture during a dive, however, it cannot be guaranteed in the long term.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using their Calypso regulators, only if the serial number they own is part of the recall and return it to an authorized retailer asking for a replacement free of charge.

Aqualung Group is announcing a safety bulletin
regarding the APEKS EXOTEC BCD &I330R Dive computer


June 29 2022…..Aqualung Group is announcing a pending safety bulletin of a limited number of the APEKS EXOTEC BCD that have been produced and distributed since August 2021. The bulletin concerns four models where it has been identified the BCD should have a longer “Pull Cord”.
When the BCD is inflated, the grey pull dump knob retracts towards the stitched channel of the jacket. The channel then prevents the knob from further retracting and slightly opens the dump valve. As a result, the BCD cannot be fully inflated, which could lead to a lack of buoyancy control.

A total of four models have been identified to be affected by this issue. Please refer to the link below for reference to verify if your BCD is concerned by this bulletin:

Immediately stop using your EXOTEC BCD if it is one of the affected models in “Identification guide” provided in the link below

Return it to an authorized Dealer, the Dealer will make the necessary adjustments to allow the device to perform correctly.
Alternatively, customers can send the affected BCD for repair at
Aqualung Technical Center – After Sales
2105 Rutherford Road
Carlsbad, CA 92008
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact customer service at consumersupport@aqualung.com.

April 12 2022…..Aqualung Group is conducting a recall of its i330R Dive Computers produced and distributed in 2021 and 2022. It was identified that the dive computer does not automatically adjust its pressure level when diving at 900m (3000 feet) altitude or higher. We ask for customers to immediately stop using their i330R Dive Computer for diving activity until a mandatory firmware update is performed.

Customers should immediately stop using their i330R Dive Computer for diving activity taking place at 900m (3000 feet) altitude or higher
