To be honest, I can't recall me communicating this to SSI directly. It is so strangely wrong though, that for sure other people should have let them know. It is disturbing to know they haven't corrected something so obviously wrong after so many years.

No. I'm referring to exactly the opposite. People who dive Suunto's (or other RGBM DCs) knowing that they are very conservative, in order to match the NDL of other divers' DC (who run eg Buhlmann) set their Suunto's to higher (than the actual) O2%, increasing the NDL !!! Yes! I have seen it...

Would you stay in a homestay ( www.stayrajaampat.com ) ? Accommodation usually is pretty basic. Rooms are wooden huts on the beach with a mattress and a mosquito net. Shared shower/toilets. Electricity runs only for few hours a day (6 to 11 pm or so). There are several well established...

I thought "fake" nitrox for air dives was a quite popular way to tackle the famous over(?) conservatism of RGBM dive computers... I've seen it in use a couple of times over the years...

Haven't gone trough all the messages, but here is my case: I just did my 500th dive. Started diving ~9 years ago. I’m 46 years old, 1.9m , ~95kg. Started with SAC of 20+lt/min back then. Over the years I dropped to my minimum ~11lt/min (about 5 years ago) but that's absolutely minimum with...

Welcome to Scubaboard. People will need a bit more info to give you more informed suggestions. First of all you budget (approx.). Then you mention "would love to dive in A place" and then "I have around 2-3 weeks". Do you mean that you want/plan to stay and dive in only one place for 2-3 weeks...

Off gassing doesn't happen instantaneously. It takes some time. Also keep in mind that the Bulhmann algorithm is a bit rough right on the edge. One moment you can have ndl of 1 minute or even be in light deco and a couple of minutes/meters shallower you can get ndl's of 30 mins or more which is...

Indeed, I can confirm this. Learning something new every day. Cheers

Here is how Subsurface handles multiple DC. Here's one such profile: Notice the highlighted (by me) lower left corner where the DC model is followed by (#1 of 2). By pressing the left/right arrow you move to the next DC which in this case looks like this: Now the profile from the 2nd DC is...

You can use any face/purge button you like from R295 or R395 as their dimensions match. Both have yellow and black versions. The ones from R395 have the chrome disk in the middle that can get displaced (eg by being pushed too hard by a careless crew while purging the reg as in my case) and...

That's interesting statement. Given that you admit that Ratios have several issues (AI, bluetooth, buttons, price increases etc), I'm wondering what issues you had with shearwater so that you can call them equally good (or bad)?? For me, Peregrine has NOTHING I can complain about. Ratio has...

Here is my experience with iX3M 2 pro + AI pod after about 1 and a half years/ 120 dives of use: The pod that initially was sent to me was half dead (wouldn't turn on upon pressurizing it, but I could connect to it by usb). Ratio replaced it promptly. The new one was/is working. In most dives I...

I don't know if it is within your budget, but KLM Eliya is a very good, reasonably priced new LoB by an operator (scuba junkies) with very good reputation in the area (and not only). I did a trip with them in August. It was the only "cheap" (~1.5k$) LoB doing (optionally) nitrox and 4 dives a...

I just managed to finish editing the video from that trip. Enjoy...

There is not much point looking at weather sites for Indo. Every day potentially has a bit of sun, a bit of clouds and a bit of rain. Temperatures between 25 and 35oC. All you would see is something like this: 7 days a week. My wife use to work in 5 star hotels in Jakarta. They use to have a...

Or maybe they just wanted/hoped to see some porn... Just saying Back to topic. A very close friend (Indonesian who lives abroad) takes concerta which is in most countries (including of course Indonesia but also the country where she resides) is considered narcotic (stimulant). She travels to...

I very much doubt there is any boring dive site in the whole area. Reputable operators want to keep their customers happy (to retain their reputation but also because happy people tip better). Don't overthink about it. No sane operator will bring you to boring sites. Most LoB's focus in the area...

Typical, for the area, muck dive yesterday at Souda Bay, Chania , Greece.

Subsurface ( Subsurface Divelog ) . Not sure if/how well it works with Diviac, but if you have your data in excel format most probably it can handle them pretty well.

We wanted to find a local restaurant/warung for dinner with my friend. Searched in Google and found a couple towards north, so we tried our luck. After about about 1 hour walking around, we didn't find anything worth considering be it restaurant, bar or coffee place. Even street stalls were...
