    O2 + CO analyzer choices.

    I use a GOX 100 T http://www.tec-dive-shop.com/media/image/thumbnail/200-74n_720x600.jpg for O2 and a sensorcon CO analyzer but might switch to a Greisinger GCO as having the sensorcon recalibrated (in Austria) seems to be more expensive than getting this new one that only needs to recalibrated...

    How to tie bungee on DSS Mount??

    I use this method and the bungee fits over the rings of my drysuit and is still tight enough on naked skin. https://www.dropbox.com/s/brfz3gfl9j30chy/Bungee.jpg the two knots should prevent the loss of the dc even if the bungee should break

    Dive wrist computer?

    The Zoop is a good entry-level divecomputer but it has limitations. AFAIK it cannot be used in gauge mode and it has no backlight (which some see as an advantage and others as a drawback) The Subgear XP 10 has abacklit display but no gauge-mode, the Oceanic Veo 2.0 cost about the same and offers...

    Counting strikes: One, two, two, two . . .

    I have done dives with freshly certified OWD's or with Buddies who had been out of the water for some time and wanted a tune-up dive before their vacation. We always do our buddy check before hitting the water, so I would have done it on the parking lot where the hose setup could have been...

    Predator Voltage swings during dive

    I will try this, too

    V56 firmware for Predator is now available

    Since the upgrade I let my Predator display the ceiling once NDL is < 0. I noticed the ceiling read 0m although I already had a deco obligation. This does not really make sense :blinking: to me. Is this just an effect of rounding? e.g. the ceiling reads 0 although it really is 0.4m

    Reconciling deco models with no-fly recommendations.

    of course the Bühlmann Model is suitable for altitude diving, but if you calculate your dive for an elevation of 2500m you will incur a lot of deco (if you are at sea level). And I doubt you could cheat your Petrel to believe you are diving at a higher altitude than the Petrel measures with its...

    Buy Computer overseas.

    on their homepage Cressi shows a Leonardo. The language on the display is English no matter which language you choose for the site, so I would think the default language in the display is English Cressi Tauchen Computer & Konsole Tauchcomputer Cressi Leonardo Nitrox Schnittstelle Mac PC...

    Understanding Intermediate Pressure

    IP is the pressure the first stage delivers to second stage or inflator through the IP or LP ports. IP and LP are synonymous.

    Apeks xtx 200 vs xtx 50 setup

    Just swap the exhausts and the mouthpeices :-) no need to tinker with the tuning.

    Lucky guy...

    I do not know the stinger, but I also do not know any deco model that comes up with 3 stops of 3 minutes each at 9,6,3m. I suggest the profile should be downloaded from the DC and analyzed before filing a complaint.

    Proper fit of neoprene drysuits, tighter than trilams?

    having the boots changed to a number smaller is no big deal.

    Update for Predator firmware.

    I assume the tissue saturation information is only in the RAM which is cleared as soon as the battery is removed. In this case the preservation of the information would need a source of voltage such as an internal backup battery or a capacitor. Neither can be supplied by a Firmware upgrade.

    Jacket BCD with dual tank straps

    Halcyon Traveller, Scubapro X-Force, X-Deep Ghost, Hollis Ride to mention some :blinking:

    Trim changing with depth (new wetsuit)

    If you dive a steel tank you can move your BCD up or down a little thus moving the weight of the cylinder (and integrated weights). Just make sure the BCD is not done up too tight ;)

    Aqualung Legend vs. Apeks XTX for cold water tech dives.

    The revision kits are sometimes called "travel-kit" APEKS Travelkit /Revisionskit AP0241 für DS4, DST, ATX 100, ATX 200, XTX 100 ... | eBay as all drysealed first stages use the same parts mixing DS4 with DST or FST is no problem.

    Dry suit diving tips

    Make sure your drysuit fits you perfectly with the thickest undergarment you intend to use. Plan your first dives shallow so that runaway ascents won't hurt you. I needed about 10 dives to master my drysuit to the extent I would go deeper in it and about 30 dives to feel really comfortable in it...

    Who knows Apeks stuff?

    The XTX 200 is the only Apeks first stage with replaceable high pressure seat, that was the reason I went for two of them for my doubles. Many European divers use a DS4 / DST combo because the routing on doubles is nice and tidy. All sets exept the Apeks flight (which IMHO does not stand up to...

    Death in the Attersee, Austria

    Maybe the instructor opted for getting his second pupil to the surface safely.

    BCD not dumping all air

    the air travel 2.0 has a shoulder dump on the right and the corrugated hose on the left, so if the problem is getting air out of the right side you might get upright and use the right shoulder dump (and possibky the pull dump on the left)
