I like having one less hose. I have an AI hose-less dive computer and I have had more trouble with the dive computer than the gas read out. I dive with a back up computer and carry an extra SPG in my dry bag. When I dive rebreather a SPG for O2, one for DIL, a power inflator (one for BCD and one...

During my predive check on my KISS Sport when I turned the meters all 3 read around 0.51. After several minutes of trying I could only tweek them to about 0.39. I removed the sensor pod and all 3 meters dropped to reading about 0.197 and I easily tweeked the read outs to 0.210 ish. When I put...

For years I have seen the ads for Hall's Dive Center/Career Institute. I went on a couple of boat trips with them and was very satisfied but has anyone ever attended one of the Career Institute courses? I am considering one or two of their course and wanted to see if anyone has any...

I am looking at running a underwater compass course involving an obtuse angle. I know all the particulars (side lengths, angles) but I am trying to figure out how I would execute this course without all the knowns, a real live situation. Assuming I can accurately measure my swim distances and...

What it the max time before a dive I can pack absorbent into the canister? Doug

Being an old mossback diver I have used the old At Pac (with and without shell), the ScubaPro BCP, and ScubaPro Classic Jacket and similar equipment from other manufactures. I had a Jacket since they came out in the late 70s/80s and when mine was stolen in the mid 90s I replaced it in kind with...

Okay I did the dreadful. I was looking at my pictures on my DC1200 (just taken at he Flower Gardens) and inadvertently deleted all the pictures files from the SD card! Yipes! Am I done for or can I somehow recover the files? Doug

Two questions: 1) If I am at say 60 ft. or deeper and I am using the strobe on my DC 1200, do I need to worry about setting manual whiteboard? I guess another way of saying this is if I set manual whiteboard and use ambient light but then shift to flash do I need to change whiteboard again? 2)...

I'm 57 yo male and been diving since I was 15. I am not in the best of shape but not a couch potato either. Due to feeling chest pains while cutting my grass (with a push mower) my doctor had me take a stress test which was cut short due to chest pains. I am to see a cardiologist to set up a...

I was boat diving with a group of people and partnered with two people. I have a Cochran Gemini computer with Oceanic puck computer and one of my partners has a Atomic air inegrated and the other partner with a hollis puck. During the dive I hesrd a low pitched vibtrating noise. I thought it...

Wow this is complicated! Can't I buy a better monitor that meets this adobe rgb? I started digital photos to get away from the photo shops now I'm being dragged back. While on the topic, is there a better printer/printer paper to produce better pictures at home?

One last question, my dry suit "booties" don't fit very well in the fin pockets. I use a XL large Scubapro Jet fin. What kind of fins have a large enough pocket for drysuit usage. DiveLvr

Great! Thanks guys. I felt it was the condensation too (very humid cool day and then diving in 65 ish degree water). Big help. Thanks again. ---------- Post added December 10th, 2013 at 11:11 AM ---------- So what is a good sock to wear. I used two pair a gym socks but I would think there is...

I have a USIA dry suit and thermal garment (USIA thermal garment to wick moisture away) and used it the first time without a leak this past weekend. This was the first time I ever used a dry suit so I need to know if it did a good job. First of all my T shirt and swim suit I had on were totally...

Steve (and all who replied) as I am new to u/w photography I will take all the pointers I can. However the problem at hand was not with using my flash because my flash pics turned out ok. It was the distance shots w/o flash that turned out too dark. Other people, including my partner using a...

Thanks but I have to ask what is the EV setting? I looked at my camera and didn't see such a setting.

I have used my DC1200 without the strobe (Camera Only Below 25ft)at depths and never had a problem. On my last trip in 65 ft of water, overcast skies, and using my DC1200 with a wide angle lense (a set up I have used many times before) every picture I took was extremely dark to the point of...

Thanks, I may have been over vtipping, $20 for a 2 tank dive up to 15 miles out, $25 to $30 gor 2 tank dive 21 miles out. Still with fresh fruit, changing gear out, and hsuling to and fro my truck is more than my monies worth. Plus the crws sre really great guys.

On a recent trip to Key Largo where I made several boat dives I wondered what amount is customary. On my Keys trip the boat crew loaded the tanks. They offered a keg of not very cold after taste water with paper cups. They also provided individual punch drinks. They kept us steady as we jumped...

Bob: I have seen your posts in the past about your good fortune with Cochrane but mine has been just the oposite. I was truly enthusiastic about the computer but malfunction at night dive in Catalina (replaced the WU), not working prior to a dive in the Keys (twice) warnings flashing during the...
