You talk about a J valve and get blank looks

737 (first flew April 9, 1967) based on 727 based on 707 that first flew in 1957. And has been 'updated' regularly since, unfortunaly they've been dragging a dead dog for a few years as they know they need a new single aisle plane, but don't have the billions to fund a new plane. Good video...

It was more when they were discussing jacket BCDs against BP/W config. That the jacket can 'go flip flop' etc.

Dragging an old thread up. Just bought one of these. Does anybody know what all the velcro bits and loops are for? Do you find the wrap/closing velcro comes loose? How do you carry it with the line preattached, or do you carry seperatly? Thanks

Just watched Achim's video and he is very defensive about why his system is best and everything else is inferior. But as Alec said in his it's 'horses for courses'. What percentage of the dive population even consider tec diving. Most of the world's divers are holiday divers in the warm on a...

I went with my original feeling and that was also echoed here by a few people. I went for the Zoop as it looks to be simple enough with everything on the main display. I bought a secondhand one of that well known auction site for $70. I also looked at everything else mentioned and went for the...

I think Shearwater, given the type of people who buy their products, tend to treat us as adults and make informed descisions.

We’re quite limited here to choice of LDSs Love the Perdix comment. They are very smooth and reformed and I’ll certainly look at some of the ‘recommendations’ Second hand.

We are both very different divers. She loves shallow and non adventurous stuff, if we're together then it's generally air rather than NDL. On my own I'm down deeper with a different buddy. Perdix is still new toy. Moved from a watch styleas I was struggling to read the smaller numbers...

Perdix is cool, I have one and know exacty what you mean. Bought mine in Europe with all taxes paid and cheaper than USA. I'd buy her one except for the $$$$. She wants the computer equivilant of a Timex or Swatch watch

My wife has started diving and I want to get her a basic computer, and I mean non tech, not complicated, no AI, multiple gases not needed. She really is not a computer person and needs a simple uncomplicated display and simple to use. Oh and not being 21 anymore it needs a larger font size. I'm...

Awesome, love octopus and shells

I had one of these and gave it to one of the kids as a first dive light. Nice and compact, neat charging. but the button sequence is programable for light levels and I often ended up in program mode rather than on or off. Personally, iIt was too fidly for me.

Welcome from the other end of Italy. Lombadia.

Watching the thread, planning for spring next year. Is Atlantide still the dive centre? Tom in VA Lombadia

Depends what you want to spend? I have a Ratio watch style tech comp for sale with AI. Here

Just because it's not in the press doesn't mean it doesn't happen. We train for battery incidences and plan an immediate diversion incase of one. Why is there a maximun size battery allowed on board? There was a Samsung Galazy phoned 'banned' from flying in Europe (not sure about the US), my...

Take a step back and look at cars. We crash them, the rules change and designers build better cars and the circle keeps going. Every design weakness creates a design improvement. For every 1000 safety features the designers put in the hand of fate is looking for the 1001st that hasn't been...

I fly an Airbus 320. 190 passengers and crew, probably 3-4 batteries per person in cameras, phones, tablets etc. Close on 750 batteries. We are also getting 321s with 235 seats, so closer to 950 batteries onboard on a vacation destination flight. Now ramp that up to a A380...... Scarey...
