    Deep thought about Scuba Regulators

    As soon as the ambient pressure matched the pressure in the tank, minus a chunk that's needed to overcome the resistance of the mechanism (including spring, frictional losses and a few other aspects). For the ambient pressure to be in the region of 3000 psi, you'd have to be in roughly 6700 feet...

    What is the line you draw for patronage of a shop?

    Oh, Mr Brotherbear, what could you mean??? Something to do with 'we've got the tracking number but it will take a few months to arrive' sort of thing?

    galileo data cable

    Fast Infrared Adapter for Windows 7/XP/Vista USB 2.0 Infrared Adapter IrDA up to 4Mbps IRJOY $29.98 This one works fine. Most of the adapters are made by the same manufacturer anyway and only the label on the outside (and sometimes the casing) changes.

    ScubaPro Galileo Sol -- Hard to read?

    I've got hundreds of dives on my Sol - no issues with reading the display (even easier once I put in some corrective lenses ;-) ) in many different types of water conditions. If you take a picture of the display and post it, we can see what the issue is (or just take it back to the LDS and...

    Fiji Time Change question - might be stupid

    Or... you could simply set the right date and time when you land.

    what would you do? Mk25 or HOG

    I guess you don't earn a living where your ideas, research and development costs need to be covered by revenue.

    Miflex HP recall??

    Based on the past week of cave diving, where I was using HP Miflex hoses to connect my spgs to my deco bottles, I can report multiple failures during pressurizing of the regs due to failed o-rings at the Spg end of the hose. At least these failure were on the surface but it felt like for each...

    The lowest temp you have taken your MK25 to.

    I frequently take mine (mk25+s600) into sub 40F water without issues including below the ice. However, one of my buddies with a similar setup (differences in the model of the S600) has constant free flow issues in the same water.

    Why get Nitrox certified?

    There are many safety margins built into recreational nitrox use, so while a seizure isn't impossible, it's unlikely if you follow the rules and plan correctly. After all, you can get a seizure on air if you try hard enough (though very unlikely on a single AL80). The question you should be...

    Farting in the big bathtub

    Is farting underwater the real reason why you should never breathe the gas in air pockets in wrecks and caves?

    Hello from Vermont

    Hey there. Although I live in NH, I think I'm currently running with Vermont as my most dived location. There are some hidden gems up there.

    Oceanic BUD as a MAIN dive computer?!

    Lol.. I was thinking more about Oceanic's marketing than the diver you mentioned. If it works, dive it :-)

    Oceanic BUD as a MAIN dive computer?!

    Looks to have the same features as a 'normal' dive computer, not much different at all from an old Veo I have somewhere at home. Could this be just a marketing ploy to get people to buy more computers?

    Should I buy a pony bottle?

    Diving with redundancy is always commendable, as long as you practice, practice and practice and only use it as a true bailout rather than factoring it into your dive plan. Size for recreational diving can still be manageable - 20 or 30 cuFt would be more than enough as an escape and give you...

    need advise on live aboard

    I've only dove with one live aboard - the Aqua Cat out of Nassau. Can't say enough to recommend it since the service, the dives, the food, the size of the boat were all excellent (that said, it's built for about 20 divers but there were only about 10 on it at the time). It does stay out at sea...
