    Whats a good computer with these features?

    Well, what ever you do... it's my vote that you don't get a console computer. Instead I would suggest that you get a wrist computer. I like my Atmos 2 on my wrist, where it doesn't dangle. It's also more compact this way.

    (5/01/05) Diver missing in Florida

    Wait, I don't understand... did he not inflate his BCD? How do you "slip beneath the surface" with a filled bcd?

    Dive Rite Transplate, the sequel

    Like everything diving, I think that's just a rule-of-thumb. I don't fasten mine in place at all and they do just fine.

    I would say you arre correct - when editing large files, speed doesn't matter, size does :)

    g-string speedo's Seriously though, I wear lycra swim shorts... a little larger so they aren't showing the jewels. I wear a skin suit on top of that.

    Software and external drives

    I definately recommend a firewire connection... although USB 2.0 has a higher potential throughput, it does not have it's own controller chip which means that the connection process must share resources with the other applications running concurrently on your laptop. Firewire, by contrast uses a...

    So- do you dive with them? I generally wouldn't get out of that water unless there are very agressive sharks showing a lot of interest in us, but I've been under the impression that Orcas are very aggressive creatures.

    a few specific questions about BP/W set up (not again!!)

    You can still have an adjustable shoulder strap without a quick-release. The Dive Rite Transplate harness is like that.

    a few specific questions about BP/W set up (not again!!)

    The straps are held in place using "belt slides" on the back of the plate. They should not move. In those instances where you are diving a single-piece webbing harness (i..e hogarthian style) you can get away with not using the belt slides but, for me, it makes it a bit too loose.

    Finding your way back to the boat

    I usually dive ledges/walls or wrecks. Rarely do I dive in a location that either doesn't have contours or an identifyable wreck... exceptions like shallow water dives in the keys. For wreck dives I either follow the wreck in a big circle following the super structure, which is easy because...

    This is interesting, found on CNN tonight.

    LONDON, England -- Airline passengers are putting up with "significant" drops in the supply of oxygen while flying at high altitude, according to researchers. Just over half of all fliers analyzed had oxygen levels 6 percent lower than usual when the airplane was at maximum altitude -- a...

    TSA locks

    no no no no! I got the same ones... expensive. I was at either TG or WM about two months ago and found four for $10. They weren't built as well but, hey, they are only supposed to be a deterant. Besides.. the brookstone ones stick out like a sore thumb... I would prefer the small black ones but...

    a few specific questions about BP/W set up (not again!!)

    1) I dive two different plates - an Abyss 6# stainless steel and a Hammerhead 6# I just picked up...I have never used the plate you speak of but both my plates work just fine without a single tank adapter. 2) Yes - it is completely possible to end up negative. Especially if you dive with a...

    this is the thread that I was talking about being censored

    This is a very active board. I hit maybe four or five different boards all concerning different topics (including the most popular iPod site) and this is by far the most active. This board is SO active that I don't expect a brand-new thread of mine to remain on the first page for 15 minutes...
