Just tried to search on their site using the links above for a dive store in Canada, US, United Kingdom, Vietnam. No results for any of them on one link and not found on the other.

@Jonnyola87 Thanks for the detailed write up. It helps us all to learn from. Glad it appears you are mostly OK and hopefully improving. Could you add a bit more detail: what was the computer you were using, and at what settings for GF or conservativeness?

If they fit, Yes. Especially since at that age they won’t need a larger blade to propel Scubapro gear. On the difference between Go Sport and Go Travel - the Sport has a bigger blade and much larger foot pocket and is designed to be worn with boots. The travel foot pocket is smaller and fits...

Scubapro Go Travel. Love these fins. Easy to frog or back kick with. Not full foot but designed to be worn without a boot. I’ve done over 150 dives in mine and no issues. They may not be as good for divers with smaller feet since the blade size shrinks very rapidly as the sizes go down to...

I’m a PADI instructor. 2 hours in the pool seems insufficient to me. Standard classes at my shop are 5 separate pool sessions. Each is about 2.5 hours total with 1 hour of that in the water and the rest spent on review, pre-session briefing, gear setup, buddy checks etc. The pool time is...

Neither link above is working for me. Instead of seeking out a particular agency, why not just find an instructor in any agency that will teach this way? I’m a PADI instructor and teach everything neutral. My students are told to not touch the bottom unless I specifically ask them to, which is...

My wife is not a diver, so I’ve dove at with at least 15 different shops around the world without a buddy and always had good experiences. Some favourites are below. But if you want a dive focused trip I’d suggest a liveaboard. I loved the Infiniti in the Philippines. Philippines Liveaboard...

You could try using Suuntolink to upgrade to the latest firmware version. Probably won’t work, but worth a shot. Also try a different charging cable. My original cable eventually wore out and caused errors when connected. A new cable corrected that.

https://mailchi.mp/shearwater/tern_terntx_product_bulletin-250808 TLDR Current Tern firmware is calculating for nitrox when set to air. Fix coming April 14. Workaround is to set to Nitrox mode at 21%

Load both into MacDive or Subsurface and either of these software packages will convert for you. Assuming you have the correct tank sizes loaded.

I guide certified divers without their own computers fairly regularly, and in cold water too. I am very conservative on these dives, with a max depth of 60 feet / 18 metres, maximum 4 divers (plus me) and sites with little to no current. We stay in a group and go very slow with frequent psi...

Why couldn’t a group of instructors, apparently already in the water, skip past the slow students and descend ahead of them? Surely instructors wouldn’t need to descend with a hand on the mooring line at all times to stay together, even in a current? I’m missing the issue here. I’ve often...

Definitely not. You need to feel that the position of the fin is correct and you can’t do that without fins. I can back kick (just barely) in bare feet, but my technique, especially foot position and angle is much different than with fins. Practice really slowly and concentrate on feeling that...

The Fourth Element size chart has incorrect conversions from Inches to Cm. Not sure if that helps or not in your case. If possible I’d definitely try out a Proteus II Small Tall. I’m 187 cm, 85kg and the Large fits me very well. The arms and legs are very slim cut and take lots of pulling to...

The Suunto app just decided to update or possibly just recognize that my core was updated. I was able to get into the customization screen, but didn’t see an option to display Surf GF

They are in1% increments. Low has a range of 10-99%, High range is 50-100%.

As far as I can tell no. It looks like the IOS app hasn’t caught up with the new firmware yet so I can’t get into customize my display setttings. They did post a new v4 manual even though the link to it still says v3.

It will never lock me out in either algorithm since I will never skip a required deco stop. And if I did because of some emergency I’d probably take a few days off anyway. However, in Buhlmann it will never lock anyone out. I personally don’t think that’s a good criteria for picking an...

Eon firmware 4.0 dated Dec 19, 2024, includes the Buhlmann GF 16 algorithm for the Core models. This was previously only available on the Steels. I’ve just updated mine with Suunto link; it took about 20 minutes and the choice is now in my menu. I’m about to select it, restart and see what...

Has anyone got details on how to apply for the retiree waiver? Anyone done it successfully?
