Pia, What amazes me is that you can release this mess. It seems like a lot of non-divers made an executive decision to somehow shoe horn scuba into this fitness Movescount thing. If you want to know what divers want, have a look at Mac Dive 2. In terms of tech you are seriously waisting your...

RonR, thanks for that, not being a native Mac user, I was looking for a file import function etc. Drag and drop is so brilliantly easy, if counter intuitive for a DOS man! What a brilliant program, think we should send a copy to Suunto to show them how it should be done! To think that without...

Great program, I am using it now, but would like to import all my dives from Suunto Dive Manager into Mac Dive. I can't seem to find a way to do this, is it possible?

I recently spent 3 days diving in Bunaken. Tasik Ria resort do a day trip to Lembeh for 3 dives once a week. It's a 2 hour drive from Manado to Lembeh, ie not far at all. I spent 2 days diving Bunaken and the 1 day trip to Lembeh. Both are fantastic! Bunaken infinite walls, pristine coral, viz...

From Jhb, and within your time constraints there are limited options. Sodwana Bay - Tropical reef type diving, with fun launches fully kitted in a small "rubber duck" through the breakers. An alternative would be Aliwal Shoal famous for Raggy Cave, a little further south on the East Coast than...

The other key feature is the inability to print!

I have used Suunto for all my dives, I bought an Eon in 1994, and 2 years ago a Cobra 3. The only reason I went with Suunto was the dive log capability, I no longer keep a paper dive log it's all in software. I was prepared to put up with the outdated black and white display and the outdated...

Let me preface this with this: after about 20 dives I bought a Nikonos 5 with all the trimmings, and took hundreds of fish photo's which are in a shoebox which has not been opened for 15 years, beautiful Fugichrome Velvia slides! I now no longer take photo's underwater. How many fish portraits...

I was taught to dry the dust cap with an air blast as well, but have stopped doing it because I have seen water being blown off the dust cap onto the sintered filter of the reg often. A towel is much more reliable and "environmentally friendly" , however on a recent dive trip, when the DM saw me...

Just put DM4 (windows version) on my laptop. It's a dog, most of the info held in DM3.1 is lost in the "upgrade", no obvious place to record notes, equipment, etc etc. If this is what is going to be available for MAC then I don't want it. They are trying to resurrect the online movescount bull...

I'm at Tasik Ria now, great dive resort, but a good hours drive from the airport, could be longer if the traffic is bad. Suggest something closer to the airport for a stop over, unless you want to dive! It does have a pool, and air-conditioned rooms, airport transfer is free if it is at the...

You did the correct thing buying at a reasonable price. This is not a warrantee issue, but a repair issue. Take the reg to a technician, and ascertain the damage and what parts are necessary, and if the local rip off artist won't get the parts for you, perhaps the US shop will send them out...

I have used lucas divestore, they were as advertised and received the products within a week. They have a flat rate ot 50 euro for postage, which can be a bit steep. I have also used scubastore in spain and they seem to have cheaper postage, also the goods arrived within a week. Probably both...

I don't think it is my imagination, the board seems to be much faster over the last 2 or 3 days, whatever has happened is great. Thanks.

Doesn't sound appealing, and confirms my experience in Cairns. Try and get on a live aboard.

shark skin?

Thanks, great resource. Just wonder why they list Viton as having the best abrasion resistance, and the Parker manual list it as having poor abrasion resistance?? This is too hard to make any sense of. That is exactly my point, I also believed that they were standard, until I checked the...

Zung, is that a Scubapro specification, where do they specify these things? I was not aware that you could get EPDM harder than Sh80. (Certainly can't make Sh90 out of EPDM) Seems that Zeagle and Scubapro use the same LP and HP port sizes, but a different DIN? I would have thought the 3/8 and...

I just did a bit of research on the basic o-rings we kind of take for granted (now you know how bored I was, I was actually trying to put together a few spares for a trip)- LP port 011, HP port 012, 2nd stage swivel 010, DIN 112. Instead of measuring, I trolled through the service manuals of...

Just a thought, but with the new, much maligned, flexible Miflex HP hose, you could have air integrated mounted on your wrist, without a transmitter. Just need to rotate the display 90 degrees. I like the idea of wrist mount, but dislike the idea of a radio connection, this way you could get the...
