I'm afraid hyperhydration with water can be deleterious to your health! Had a lady the other day told to drink "a lot" of water for an ultrasound, as her bladder wasn't full, and she arrived fitting from low blood sodium content. (I guess her interpretation of "a lot" was not the same as mine...

So a lot of promises from Suunto, but no action!! I suggest that this task is beyond the capabilities of Suunto, or there is not the will to do it. After such an appalling release, and universal condemnation, there have been but 2 updates, neither of which made terribly much difference. I...

I've just seen this thread, and there are some, in fact one, post that got my goat, so please forgive me for the following rant. This case illustrates what's wrong with modern medicine. If you don't know what is wrong on history, you are very unlikely to ever make a diagnosis. We no longer...

Eff, I have recently started using MacDive and divelog on my phone. Is it possible to log the dive on the phone (GPS, notes etc) and then import the profile from computer into MacDive, and then link the notes to it? It sounds as though that is what you do, and what I'd like to do, but how do you...

I kind of agree with you, the first people to discover a wreck have that thrill of discovery, identification and salvage, and this particular wreck is deep and difficult. All that happened many years ago, and I think you are right it has become "the everest", and dived for bragging rights or...

It's that arrogance that will be the downfall of Suunto. Don't you realise that the reason you made movescount was to track fitness training, and divers don't want to or need to do that. Thank heaven for third party software.

Li ???

Try and get out to 5, 7 and 9 mile reefs. Will definitely be less crowded than 2 mile.

USVet96, I have used a Gemini for about 3 years now, never been serviced, never free flowed, breaths as good as my primary. I have had absolutely no issues. It is the only piece of Sherwood equipment I have ever owned! I think, in general, people are more likely to post when they have a problem...

Don't know Edge regs at all, but most regs use a 1 inch, and some a 26mm socket. Torque specs for most regs are in the region of 35 to 40 Nm. Is the service manual for edge regs not available anywhere?

Join the crowd. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/aqua-lung/382916-suunto-dm4.html

I have thought about this, since the temperature in my home town can reach 40 degrees celsius in the shade. The clue is the gas laws work from absolute zero so a temperature rise from 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C is not a tripling of pressure but a mear 13.65 % increase in pressure (40/293 x...

Yam Technician.... what are you smoking?

I find this interesting. I learnt dive tables, but almost never did square profiles, so when it came to filling in my dive log it became ridiculous trying to fit a multilevel dive into a square, and the pressure groups became absolutely meaningless. I never did master the wheel, which I found...

Tanya, I am a solo traveller as well, and did a northern wrecks and reefs trip on Whirlwind last year. I cheated and paid the single surcharge, so I wouldn't have to share a cabin. The people were great, very different but always pleasant and entertaining company. You can socialise as much or as...

Well, I just checked "MOVESCOUNT", and would you believe there are a whole 258 members of the diving section. This is with the incentive of winning a D4 of you joined by the end of June. Considering the number of Suunto dive computers out there, I think this confirms what a C**P idea DM4 was/is...

Just about all Suunto's are compatible with MacDive as well.

I used Suunto Dive Manager 1.6 all the way to 3.1 for the last 15 years and was very happy with it. I have now switched to MacDive, and it is just in different league, dive sites on google maps integrated, all the usual information can be entered, and it syncs with dive log on my iPhone, so I...

DiversIncorporated, thanks for that, I suspect you meant Pulmonary Embolism, rather than air embolism? That is a blood clot moves from a large vein, usually the lower limb to the pulmonary artery, and if small is asymptomatic, and if large can be instantly fatal. If that is the case, it has...

If you let Suunto Dive Manager calculate your SAC it looks very good, about 15% lower than reality. It seems that their maths normalises to 0 degrees Celsius. Just beware of the methods involved in the calculation. The other logging software that I have tried such as divelog and macdive don't...
