WOW this program looks great. I almost wish I had a mac now... ALMOST

fixt props to Ron, running tech help on this forum has to be tough as nails... or ferrous metals

Yeah gauge mode for even one dive makes it so you don't know where your nitrogen loading is at. I avoid that mode like the plague and have never used anything besides normal so I'm always tracking my no deco times. The one thing I hate is the default 50% oxygen mode. That mode will cripple you...

Gauge mode doesn't track your nitrogen exposure so theoretically if you switched to normal mode and got the bends that would be a slightly worse inconvenience than having to break out the dive tables for a week. If anything, I agree that gauge mode is useless for someone who wants to use their...

I was having issues with my mask fogging when my instructor said there's only one way to make sure your mask never fogs, and thats burning it. I had never heard of the concept but was told by my LDS to get toothpaste clean the mask. I was scared to try it, figuring I would ruin my mask. The...

Considering the novas are probaly the easiest fins to get off and on, I would probably take them off before trying a sketchy ladder. But in those situations I think any fin would be doomed. Except that the novas have a lifetime warranty so you wouldn't be buying a new set. The slingshots still...

I'm going to resurrect this thread, hopefully thats OK because I think its a good topic. Closed heel: Aqualung hotshot hands down. I've used them in the pool and I was impressed with their maneuverability. They are very flexible and frog kick well. Also quite comfortable, their foot pocket is...

Marco at natura park's watersports is a great guide and he speaks multiple languages. If I remember it was $50 for 2-tank boat dives

Interesting choice with the Morehead City call. We dive Nitrox 30% out of NC a lot because the depths are usually 100-120' Waters are pretty cold right now, looking at upper 50s with crappy vis. I would definitely wait until the summer to dive NC unless you pack a drysuit. You might get lucky...

I'm running miflex hoses to my 2nd stage and alt air inflator on the BCD + wireless transmitter. It takes up ZERO space,and the miflexes allow me to manage the hoses in any way i want. I highly recommend them for the flexibility and weight reduction. And they are as good as a swivel in terms of...

Ok so from what you are saying though, while being a useless "award" it does alert us to the regulator as being something to look out for as a decent value. The mk11 is diaphragm so it is not open to the environment like a piston which seems like a plus if you don't service your reg every...

I choose ScubaPro. They are known worldwide and it would be hard to find a shop that DOESN'T service them. They offer a wide range of regulators including both diaphragm and piston regs. Their newest regs in the budget range (C200 and C300) got editor's choice from the PADI dive magazine. Not...

after doing a lot of research I went with the Aeris Elite T3 (same thing as VT3). I've had it around 2 years as its relatively new but still had a bunch of good reviews when I bought it. It is all I could ask for and more. What I like: -The wireless has never lost signal for me. -You never...

for 2011 scubapro is offering the mk11/(c200/c300) in their "budget" range. Got a editors choice from the padi magazine. Any thoughts? probably right in that same price range except a balanced, brand new design, albeit diaphragm.

I have to admit, I've always viewed the mk25/s600 as a high-end setup. And I know mk25s can handle the cold. I would stick with the setup you have. Maybe get your rig serviced.

Yeah this sounds pretty bad on suunto's part. im not sure what i would do except the good news is that if just one part of the computer/receiver combo is flooded and maybe you can send in the flooded part to have it repaired or replaced at a lower price than buying a new computer. Personally i...

Does this app give me MOD for different nitrox blends? I'm looking for an app that does that. Also in North Carolina we use EANx 30% a lot so a chart for that would be instant donation from me although the MOD would be fine too. I'd think that would be an easy thing to add in, just a simple...

I walked into my LDS and saw these, and thought they looked stupid and figured they were old. the shop owner asked me if I was checking them out and I said nah. He said they are the best fins hes got. I said, "oh really?" He then showed me the scuba lab review and I was intrigued. I tried them...

I use an Aeris Elite T3, same as Oceanic VT3 with only slight differences in looks, but same guts. I've never had a problem with mine. No lost signals, no dive-ending malfunctions, and no battery issues although it is VERY NEW. I do worry about it getting older although I suppose that could be...

X1 is a technical diving computer. The Cobalt is recreation and doesn't do trimix. The 2 computers are totally different and someone looking for an X1 would never consider a Cobalt and vice versa. Also the cobalt does "gas switching underwater" with an HP quick disconnect but I highly doubt...
