    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    How so? Did you read my first post? The only time you would ever see the password prompt is if you went into the Owners info and wanted to change the Name and Contact Telephone number. Nothing changes for users but it makes a Lost or Stolen Shearwater device pretty hard to resell and...

    Tired of this pair of tanks

    Some of that gear that Ana has would look really nice if it was re-chromed and put in a dive store.

    Not a huge fan of my GoPro

    It's a pity but there is only two levels when it comes to underwater photography. You use a GoPro which is simple cheap and takes half assed pictures or you spend thousands of dollars on a proper DSLR and housing plus a dozen other things. Photography is a Hobby of mine but I am not sure if I...

    Shearwater Teric and Transmitter Questions

    I would like it to become my favorite also but not at $50 a pop!! I love the tool, it's just what I need but I just cannot justify that price since it will be used so rarely.

    Oceans subsonic computer

    The more I think about this unit and how it directly competes with the Peregrine but costs a bit more. I think they should have ditched the whole DC idea and made a smaller cheaper dedicated underwater communication device instead. Maybe something with 20 custom phrases and the ability to send...

    Oceans subsonic computer

    It was kind of coincidental that just hours after the OPS post that simply Scuba did a unboxing and features demonstration.

    LOL That is true. He has now made it absolutely clear that he just hates Shearwater and anyone that owns one. That's is just a very childish attitude.

    Oceans subsonic computer

    It's really nice, it hits almost all the right buttons in what I would want in a DC. Since its kind of new I will have to wait for some in depth reviews to comment further but just looking at it I love the idea of being able to Ping another diver and love the look of the display and a bunch of...

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    This is one of my weaknesses in life. When I am spending big money on a Item and say in this case where one is $500 and one is $850 I start going into a mental deep dive loop of features versus price versus resale value etc etc. It becomes agony for me to decide. My wife on the other hand has...

    Shearwater Teric and Transmitter Questions

    I am new to AI but I have been in boats that are not really suited for diving and have also experienced the problems of rough water and numerous divers trying to get their gear taken into the boat. Most times the mad dash to get people onboard means that Tanks get handled very roughly and...

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    Sure there is, it's called a 5 gallon Jug! I use to travel with one in my Trunk:p A spare is supposed to be something you use in an emergency, not something that you carry as a backup for equipment that you know has issues. Actually I do but your english is fine. I am not going to roll in...

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    I remember when I was in my 20s I had an old car that ran out of Gas when the needle was at the 1/4 tank level. At first I thought it was not that big of a deal but as I started to do longer commutes it became a kind of coin toss as to how far I could go on half a Tank. I ended up much like...

    I am confused by this statement because right after it you say you own two Shearwater Dive computers! I know at least one of them is a Perdix. Why did you waste your money?

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    Careful now, I said the same thing to him in a different way and he said I was condescending LOL. The three things that first caught my eye with the Teric was that the Screen was so easy to read. Two it had AI in this small package and third the form factor was same as a watch so that meant I...

    Your just dismissing a major battery life indicator issue as no big deal? I think this is kind of a pointless argument. I have seen this argument many times in reef keeping. I also keep reef Aquariums and I know that some guys keep $15K worth of fish and corals alive using no automation and...

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    The older units track your degassing between dives? Also just the fact that they have a bigger simpler easy to read display and an intuitive system makes it safer for divers. I am not saying an experienced diver needs that but overall it does make diving safer for the average Rec Diver. Lastly...

    Dive Computer Recommendations

    I don't understand it either but I think maybe it has to do with age. When I was in my 20s and 30s all I needed was a regulator that put out air and my Speargun and that was it. I had a working pressure gauge, and a sometimes working compass. My fins and a mask were so bad that I could not give...

    Drysuit Diving What do you need...

    Wow this is a part of diving in a Drysuit that I have never heard mentioned on TV or any videos. I never even thought about it before! It all makes perfect sense and adds another layer of complexity to something that already seemed daunting.
