Phil, Sorry you are having trouble with your DC800. The new Australian distributor for SeaLife cameras is eScuba. eScuba a bright idea - SeaLife cameras, dive & scuba cameras by SeaLife for underwater photography. You can reach them on 1-800-ESCUBA or via email to info@escuba.com - We'll...

One thing I dislike about the deep stops mode on my D9 is that when DS is switched on the 3 minute safety stop timer is deactivated. I think Suunto may intend for the Deep Stops to replace the 3 minute safety stop at 5 meters. I'd do both - and for this reason I keep DS switched off. dp

Another factor to consider is the number of students on board each boat. Most of the day boats cater to DSD (try dives) and put a lot of pressure on passengers to try diving. The mid-level boats which offer 2-3 day trips often have a significant number (more than half) of students on one...

Hi all. Just received my new Fusion. What's the best way to apply zip wax? Zip open or closed? How often? Thanks, dp

re: protected cells... Bad things happen to Lithium cells when you: a. Short them out b. Over charge them c. Drain them to empty To prevent this from happening they make a small circuit board which sits on top of the battery (and is shrink-wrapped to the top or bottom) which protects it from a...

+1 re-use existing o-ring. Dozens of dives, no problems!

The ones dealextreme sells are the B bin, not c-bin so you won't get 900 lumen. However, to get the full brightness you have to drive them at 2.8 amps. That being said the modified torch is monster bright. Brightest thing I've ever seen - hands down. I'm using the stock UK circuitry which...

I swapped both LED's out for two 900 lumen P7's from Dealextreme. The resulting beam is amazing. The reflector is a little too small for the P7's but you don't notice it much underwater. Well worth the $40 investment.

Hi Jason. There are heaps of great dives to do in and around Sydney. I work for a dive shop called Abyss (Scuba Lessons & Dive Gear - Abyss Scuba Diving PADI IDC Sydney) which offers free DM led double shore dives every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A couple of shops offer boat dives in and...

50% RGBM mode does not give you more bottom time... exactly. RGBM punishes you by shortening your bottom time if you do one of several naughty things during a dive including, reverse profile, deco, going up to fast or have too short of a surface interval. RGBM 50% mode reduces the imposed...

Mix 1 is always your "Back gas" attached to your pressure transmitter. On the surface you can program Mix 2 and 3 but can not "switch" to them until you're underwater. Remember your pressure transmitter only works with Mix 1. When diving Nitrox I normally set up Mix 1 to be my back gas...

Hi Ed. One thing to consider with lights in low vis situations is the amount of back-scatter. Think about driving in fog with your high beams on... the light will illuminate the cloud of crap in front of you. The light will work great for viewing things close up, but not have the focus to cut...

Princeton Tec torches do not use any kind of regulation... The LED's are connected directly to the batteries- 3 3 watt LED's connected in series. Its important to understand how LED's work: their brightness is controlled by the CURRENT running through them -- NOT the voltage (as in a regular...

Its an ok operation. The boat is great, but be prepared for heaps of beginners. More than half of the 20+ people on the boat will be on one course or another. The reefs are rather average and by no means representative of the Great Barrier Reef. In Aus you tend to get what you pay for...

Works perfectly with a regular Vytec. Don't see why it would be any different with a DS. Enjoy!

Hi Aoo, Please take the comments above with a grain of salt - I do not believe that the information is correct. I had a problem with a newly serviced ATX40 occy free-flowing and turning the knob (where the cracking resistance knob on the ATX50 is) with a hex key did not fix the problem...

As you know Suunto computers track a number of factors in addition to how long you are underwater. When you exit the water you will notice the diver alert symbol, an exclamation point (!) inside a triangle. This means that the computer strongly recommends that you extend your surface interval...

You can tell if a D9 has had the upgrade by connecting it to your PC with the included cable. If the software version is 1.2.15 or above it is the latest (updated) version. Updated computers will either be above the recall serial number range, have a white dot that may wipe off (updated at a...

Hi all, Can anyone detail the procedure to change the battery in a D9 yourself? The back of the watch fits a standard three point adjustable watch case opener. I suspect the outer ring unscrews to reveal the metal plate beneath. Once this plate is pried up (gently) there should be an...

From me to Suunto: Hello. How do I get SDM to import SDM 1.6 logs properly? Also, my new dives do not download in the correct order. Please advise. ______________________ Response (Sandra Walker) - 01/30/2007 02:22 AM Dear Sir Thank You for contacting Suunto. First of all we...
