It's the perfect example of a "tool watch" - I've got one of the older ones I don't dive it because I've got other, better (and probably too many?) dive watches, but I keep it around as a loaner, or just if I'm feeling "classic" :-) I bet the design hasn't changed much since the first version...

Thanks - I gotta go buy some Lithium batteries for the computer. I should likely pick up some spares for the transmitter for the save a dive kit.

I just got my Perdix AI on Friday - it should get its first dives next week. I'm the guy that reads all the manuals cover to cover and... why is there a recommendation to remove the battery from the computer if it won't be used for a while, but no similar recommendation for the transmitter?

Thanks! I hope to actually get in the water this weekend. I've been out so long my grills have dried out.

I recently took the plunge and shaved my head. I did have thick hair before, just not everywhere up there. So there was plenty of hair to prevent water sloshing around under the hood. I'm trying to figure our what, if anything I need to do to stay warm. Cold-ish water diving - Southern...

If the backboard is thick and sturdy enough... If there aren't already any holes, perhaps drill two holes at the top corners, and run in some heavy line between them to make a handle? Maybe some 3/4 "dock line" - Dock Lines That would definitely carry the weight and be thick enough to make a...

And the same for the diaphragm/purge covers, too?

I seem to recall that the wide tee was standard on the M1 and then (maybe) added to the B2? And then it became available for other models. I just wasn't sure if they were all the same, or if there were different tees for different models.

I'm trying to find the wide tee. They are out of stock many places, except a few that have gray. I think that it is the same, and that a "B2 color kit" that includes the wide tee and a new cover would fit a Z2?

I vote for none. I left FB behind years ago. A former student intern worked at both of them, left in disgust. FB internal memos boil down to "controversy drives anger, anger drives engagement, engagement brings pageviews, pageviews mean ad views, which pay your salary, so shut up and work"...

I've been shopping for a DSMB and spool. I've never needed one, so far, but I know the time will come. Especially with some of the fun currents we get in San Diego kelp. But a few dives ago I was in a current with a new buddy, and his DSMB was very helpful for our safety stop. No current at...

That said - the Manta dive at Kona is a perfect diver and snorkler combo. I dove, she snorkled and she's probably more antsy to do it again than I am!

I've almost always used Fathom Five. I think I've dove with them every other year for almost 10 years? (I'd have to check my log book.) I've always had an incredible captain and DM. I haven't used their training. There are other high-rated ops, I just don't remember any of the names. Be aware...

You aren't the only one who still keeps a log book. I use MacDive for the details, but use the paper log to capture things I want to remember: what I saw, conditions, things I need to improve, buddy name, DM name, name of the boat's doggo. For me the paper log is more a scrapbook or a journal...

I don't have the Chase card, but I've had Amex for decades. It has a similar evac policy attached. This was 15+ years ago, no idea if this still happens. We had a family member get very ill while traveling to Florida, of all places. She really needed to get back to her specialist in...

I bought some of this "life safety" tape - I'm going to cut out some patterns for my fins (to go with the painted on name and phone). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PFXB00/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I was able to get the NX software to run on W10 in "compatibility mode".

MFA/2FA is a good idea, but it's the password re-use that's the most common entry. No password re-use + MFA is the gold standard. My email has been exposed in at least 20 or 30 incidents according to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ - fortunately the bad folks have never been able to do anything...

So, I was getting ready to buy a Perdix AI. March 2020. Then COVID happened and I wasn't diving. OK, I says to myself, I'll wait and see how long this lasts. I can always get a Perdix AI from the LDS when I am ready to go diving again. I've already put the cash in an envelope in the safe, in the...

Pelagic Magic was great. It convinced me that I needed to get a GoPro and housing for my next trip. Eight(?) divers, four on each side, on individual downlines. You have your own line that slides up and down the downline. Max depth is 50ish? Lots of lights bring up all kinds of little...
