Maybe what he meant by radio waves was actually electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are a specific EM band but most people [incorrectly] use the term to refer in general to all EM radiation. If the transmitter isn't using EM waves to transmit wirelessly then Uwatec has a LOT of explaining...

It is very quick and easy to work out a MOD from first principles. This is one of the reasons why a Nitrox course is so recommended: because you learn the theory behind it. You basically want to work out the depth at which your mix has the maximum partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) you are...

I have a DSS rig. SS backplate. Torus 26 Wing. Hog harness.

If, by dropping names, your goal is to impress people you might not want one of those names to be Mark Ellyatt. It might have the opposite effect for some people. :rofl3: Edit: Finished the article and it was interesting reading. I'm not sure if it was meant to be objective or not but the...

I'm sorry if you were offended TravelDive. I didn't mean to be harsh but was trying to clarify why I thought others had posted about you what they posted. And there is a procedure involved: to answer the question. The thing is, to those of us that questioned your posts you DIDN'T answer the...

I think the problem that people are having with the answers that you gave, TravelDive, is that they didn't answer the OP's question ... at all. All you did was introduce one of the tools that tech divers use: oxygen enriched air. And you made it sound like rec diving nitrox, not the very rich...

Are you saying that the Vytec (as well as the D6) has a stopwatch which you can set and reset for timing deco? Or do you mean that it counts you deco down for you? Because I have been wishing for a way of timing with resolution greater than minutes (i.e. with seconds) underwater and my Vytec...

*lightning strikes the thread* It's alive ... its ALIIIIIVE! *massive bouts of maniacal laughter* Just thought I would add that I have named my Mk17/G250V Seven and my pony bottle Sea Biscuit. Sea Biscuit ... geddit? :mooner:

I own a set of these and am very happy with them ... as long as I just consider them a standard ballast system (like any other weight belt) and not a method of correcting my trim. I originally bought them for that reason (correcting my trim) because I wanted the tank harness to put weight...

I've bitten through my [new] mouthpiece already. Only 20 dives and it already looks like a dog's chew toy. But its not from biting too hard, its from grinding my teeth underwater. It is amazing what OW students can get up to underwater and guess whose job it is to make sure they don't land up in...

Wow, awesome story Rick!!! for you.

Thanks for sharing! :bounce2: It sounds like your computer is very conservative. I have exceeded an NDL by two mins once or twice (:dunce:) on my Vytec and my deco obligation has either cleared before I reach 3m or I only have 4 or 5 mins left. To give you an idea, I simulated a dive to...

Just out of interest could you tell us this story in detail? Were you using a computer or diving by tables? Was that a precisely calculated 11 min of deco or did you just exceed your NDL and decided to spend a good amount of time and padded your deco stop to be safe? I ask because 11 mins of...

Nvm ...

Unfortunately I haven't yet had a chance to try out my pony setup since my last post. Between really lousy weather, having no buddies because they were all studying and DMing OW courses my weekends have all been either busy or dry. I did get a chance to hop in the pool with my setup once...

You are right about the personal choice. As you pointed out, just because the majority prefers one choice, it is not neccessarily ideal for the individual. Factors unique to you (e.g. Netmystar's shoulder injury) might prevent that choice from being ideal. Trying out different solutions is...

That has to do with your plate though and not your harness.

I don't know with 100% certainty but I am willing to bet (large amounts of money) that the majority of bp/w divers use a hog harness. Well, at any rate, the majority of people that post in these type of threads will do so at any rate. Apart from situations where the harness has to be adjusted...

Not bagging on the concept of the i3 because I don't have experience with one but what is with this whole 'I don't have to figure out which dump to pull' thing? It ranks up there with the whole 'eliminating a LP hose will improve streamlining enough for me to notice a decrease in drag'...
