    Buoyancy I’m confused

    @Bob DBF depending on their mood, they might have said, "Victus est. Ite ut totum unum." You never know, Bob. They might have been "Southies", in which case they would have said, "Quod non totum. Ut illo velim inter Ite et quieti". :rofl3: Never thought I'd use my Latin this much. I'm...

    PADI and technology (what’s the deal with e-cards?)

    Written and stamped, signed, or whatever dive logs also help. Take your last or last couple or a printed version of your electronic log book with you, especially if you know you are going to a remote location. Just like you keep a copy of you passport. Be a boy (girl) scout - BE PREPARED! :)...

    PADI and technology (what’s the deal with e-cards?)

    EDIT: I agree with this. On vacation I dive on my AOW card even though I have a higher certification. On more than one occasion I was asked as a DM to "bring up the rear and watch the group" because there were too many divers for the DM / Dive Guide to "control". I did once and it ended up...

    PADI and technology (what’s the deal with e-cards?)

    I would think that if you have it scanned in, give the scan to your son either printed and/or electronically on his phone. Then he wouldn't have to get a new card at all since his Jr card is good forever. Also, since he is automatically upgraded when he reaches a certain age, those looking at...

    PADI and technology (what’s the deal with e-cards?)

    First of all, welcome to the other side of SB. Can't sign it. While I agree that e-cards are the newest technology, I would be in favor of issuing an e-card with an option of a free hard card. I pose this question: What if a diver doesn't take his smart phone with him to the dive shop or...

    Closed Hollis DG-03 AI Dive Computer

    The recall did not affect this particular one. I used one of these (I have 2) as a backup for about 30 dives. It tracked very closely to my Perdix. I am extremely happy with it. I only stopped using it because my wife stopped diving. I use her primary as my backup now. I will keep your...

    What are your favorite type of dives

    Back in the 1980's the group of guys that were in my DM course used to fun dive and practice controlled ascents to see who could do it from the greatest depth. Sort of a chest beating event. I found that I could do a free ascent from quite deep. CAVEAT: We were doing this in a very...

    SD Card capacity for TG-6

    I have a new TG-6. I have read everywhere I can think of regarding the maximum capacity of the SD card inserted in the camera. I have found nothing. Can, and will, someone provide some insight? In other words, how big of an SD card should I use? :confused: Thanks and cheers - M²

    Buoyancy I’m confused

    @Bob DBF Yes but is that 1,000,000 hexadecimal, decimal, octal, or binary. I've often wondered, what is zero in Roman numerals? And how did the Romans count 1/2 of something? :D Cheers - M²

    Buoyancy I’m confused

    You are totally correct. Archimedes' principle is the statement that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Since the medium is water, the weight of the water is dependent on the volume of the water displaced. The difference in buoyancy...

    What Is Your Favorite Way To Spend The Rest Of Your Day In Coz After A 2-Tank?

    When not picking up an afternoon 2-tank, head back to the house where a light lunch awaits. Drink a couple of beers with lunch and sleep until dinner. I then watch a little tv and then sleep until the next morning. Wash, rinse, repeat. Last day get on airplane. Last trip: 12 days 30 dives...
