I wonder whether anyone will adapt the Bühlmann algorithm for Trimix diving?

I got a pair of X-streams and sold them again after four or five dives. I did not like the feel of the click when they bent at the hinge.

February is still rather windy, so be sure to keep warm during SI but I have dived the Red Sea in my 5mm neoprene wetsuit any month from November to May although I have seen instructors in drysuits during the cold months. as far as safety is concerned the south always was safe and there have...

once it is long enough it seems to be watertight, the only time I had leaks was after my beard had been trimmed to 3mm, all was fine again a week later :D

Yes you can dive to 18m in a wetsuit in 5° water, I recommend a 7mil with a 5mil icevest and 11mil hood. You will need masses of lead and if the suit is not a perfect fit you will likely be uncomfortable. If you plan to go deeper you should consider redundant bouyancy devices. Having said that I...

With the exception of warm water regs (e.g. the Apeks flight) practically none. Any new regulator will provide a recreational diver with all the gas he or she needs if it is maintained properly. Most regulator choices are a question of taste. I love my Poseidon and Apeks regs and many of my...

The question is where is your diving heading to? If you ever mean to do deco dives you might as well get a 40cft tank which can serve you well for deco later on in your career.

kudos for reading the manual. many if not most divecomputers lock up for 24 to 48 hours after a deco obligation was violated seems the manufactorers think someone who busts the deco shedule or goes into deco unintentionally without staying the required time to clear the tissues is better...

I wear a leatherman all day. I just have to remind myself to leave it at home when going to the stadium or airport where these items are forbidden.

if cost is not a factor you should be able to correctly analyze your mix that includes the He content as well as oxygen.

The DS4 is not the ideal reg for sidemount, although you could use one DS4 and one DST (until you find you want a second DST)

You said you have a B.U.D so you might as well use its reading for your diving after your primary DC failed. just rig a bungee-mount and dive

I sold mine as I did not like the feedback they gave. I now have Hollis F2 that are very light and I love them.

That is why I wrote that I had sent a PM, had I known you had already closed a deal I would have just ignored the thread. I have not received any answer though.

I'll take it. PM sent

not once it works, I expect ;-) The Buddy watcher might turn out to be useful for herding groups as it also shows the distance each diver is away

I am using a Canon digital Ixus 70 with the CHDK to save in RAW format. When I take a shot on a new day a new folder is created for the day. As I use more than one SDcards I would like to assign every card a different naming space. Now the name seems to be derived from some information in the...

You can use a lift bag and a spool as a means of redundant lift as long as you dive in a wetsuit. Make sure the line is long enough though. With a wet suit a small amount of weight should definitelx be ditchable, you coulld thread trimpockets onto your harness, they hold up to 2kg (4pounds) each...

depending on the temperature you want to dive you might consider getting a ring system that allows you to replace your seals without tools and at the same time offers the use of dry gloves. Sitec makes a good ring system and I might have my ZipSeals replaced with one as the ZipSeal cuffs are...
