    Perdix unable to connect via bluetooth

    I had that once mate but only when I attempted to pair through the phone settings. Most of the time I'm just getting the countdown and nothing.

    Perdix unable to connect via bluetooth

    I'm not concerned about losing the dives that are on my desktop. I can't connect to download my new dives off the computer.

    Perdix unable to connect via bluetooth

    Ok so it seems I have the Windows 10 version that doesn't let the computer connect. But what about the Shearwater app. It was working fine. Can I do a reset on the unit without losing all my dives?-

    Perdix unable to connect via bluetooth

    Hi Guys, I recently connected my Perdix to my phone via the android app and downloaded the latest software update V44. As far as I could see everything went OK with the update. The computer shows the fireware version as V44 in the settings menu. However, since then my computer will not connect...

    Why should warm water divers consider the UK?

    In response to the diving is supposed to be fun posts. you could say the same thing about marathons. They are an enormous challenge yet overcoming them is an extremely rewarding feeling. Maybe some people get the same kind of rewards.

    Rebreather or not?

    Interesting if they do develop one. Even like something that colour changed or something.

    Rebreather or not?

    Is there not a way to put a co2 sensor on a Rebreather? I'm guessing not or it would have been done by now. So the only way to tell is by symptoms? Also as an update I completed my gue drysuit course and it looks like I will be doing tech 1 in december time. Just building experience on the...

    New to BP/W

    I'm a little confused. If you are going to dive sidemount doubles then why not just dive sidemount single. I which case you in fact need a sidemount harness and not a BP and Wing.

    Rebreather or not?

    I think one thing that can be agreed on is that throwing rebreathers into the recreational diving world as it stands now may not be the best idea.

    DIR and SMB/finger spool location

    When doing recreational dives I sometimes don't wear pockets especially if its rash guard and trunks weather. I found that i prefer to carry it clipped off on the back d ring. I don't wear a back pad so I guess its my only option. One thing I will say is the only time it has ever come off is...

    Rebreather or not?

    Hi Guys, Thank you for all your responses I can see from this thread there is quite a lot of support for both sides of the argument. The poll was almost tied the whole time. I'm glad to have been able to facilitate some discussions even if they just made people think. As for me I did a couple...

    Rebreather or not?

    This post certainly isn't about trying to make Technical diving cheap. It's more about spending my money in the best possible way. I feel like maybe it's the right choice to keep going on OC Technical for at least another year whether with gue or another agency. I think Tech 1 is probably the...

    Rebreather or not?

    I agree with you totally. However you could argue the reverse that 2 years working up the depths in a rebreather may be more beneficial for the dive when you aren't that experienced on your unit. I'm not advocating either I'm mulling it over. I certainly still want to do gue tech 1 as I think...

    Rebreather or not?

    Hi Ralph. The main reason why I'm going for Extended Range Limited Trimix is because I actually see it as a step toward Tech 1. In GUE terms it's more like doing Rec 3 (45m, Tx 21/30 below 30m, limited decompression). It is also a chance to try a different instructor and build on my skills...

    Rebreather or not?

    I'm hooked up with GUE and I really like there OC philosophy. I really enjoyed my fundamentals course. However bear in mind even if we are talking absolute bare minimums then I need about another 15 or so dives at fundies level. Then I would be able to do tech 1. Which is expensive due to the...

    Rebreather or not?

    Thank you. I am familiar with some of the guys he is friends with. I'm not familiar with the agency being from the UK. Dave

    Rebreather or not?

    Yeah being able to fly will be a massive consideration for me but that is unit selection which I've tried to avoid given it's a massive post in itself. For me this is about making the switch and deciding when/if to make the jump. I'm not even sure I would bring my unit back to KSA for fear of...
