    Rebreather or not?

    I have a Revo and it has an additional plug in the module for a future CO2 sensor or so I have been lead to believe. Not there yet apparently?

    Boats and OW Cert

    Yes I am curious as to how you can dive below 18m without it, and how they would allow you to do lets say deep without it. Anyone having any knowledge on this I would appreciate it Ok just checked PADI manual and AOW is only a re-requisite for the following; Cavern Ice Public Safety Search &...

    Trimming SI Tech neck seal on D1 Drysuit

    And dont leave a sharp point anywhere, my first attempt was less than ideal, I used scissors and it left a pointy bit and when I tried to slip it on it tore, however I managed to rescue it as the tear was only small, so I cut back to the next ring, and ensured it was a smooth cut all round, by...

    Hello from the Philippines and a lost buddy question

    Oh we had an understanding as we were going down a line. He said he might take a little time, meet you on the sand. After getting there I realised he wasn't coming so back up for me. I could actually see about 15m so saw he was behind me when I was at about 20m

    Hello from the Philippines and a lost buddy question

    If I were you I would have been very disappointed with my supposed buddy. I have done 35m dives, got to the bottom of the line to realise I am on my own on the sand, look up the line but cannot see anyone. Go all the way back up and find that my buddy is in the boat with an ear block. No prob...

    Deploying a SMB...

    you often see DM's in Asia deploying a DSMB with a 6-8m strap, as others have said, all good as long as you only wish to deploy from 6m ever. I have deployed from up to 60m, and on one occasion nearly had the need to deploy deeper. Consider being on a wreck or the sea bed and in a strong...

    Flights to Truk and / or Palau

    I think from memory the best times in Truk are March and august/sept. Thats when I went on 2 trips and it was good weather and conditions. And another time in June which was fine, but next time in March was wet and windy.

    Flights to Truk and / or Palau

    Just be careful with Air Niugini as they can decide not to provide a flight sometimes or have long delays of hours thus causing problems with connecting flights. last time we used them we got there fine, however had a huge delay on the way back thus causing our group to all miss their...

    Medical O2 regulator

    One of the big issues with medical o2 supply is that you really only get say about 50% o2, this is by design as they are meant for long term oxygen supply and in that situation you dont want 100% for days on end. In the situation of being bent, 100% is much better and effective, and this is...

    Fins feel loose in drysuit, feet clench and cramp

    My drysuit is a Waterproof hybrid D1 with integrated boots. I have found that when my fins feel loose I have put too much air in the suit. If I let out enough so my boots feel good, its just right. I have hollis F1 & F2 fins with spring clips which I love. I use F1 fins on my dry suit as they...

    Shearwater for a newbie ?

    As tbone1004 said, the shearwater keeps on trying to help you. What do the other brands do in particular recreational ones, they give up and lock you out. To me thats a big winner to have a computer trying to help. So you are locked out with your X brand computer, what now? Ascend again with...

    Rebreather or not?

    This has been my mindset as well. I can already see some of the potential issues with CCR and havent even sucked a breath yet. Whilst I have some experienced breather divers here, when you have a dry suit as well, do you tap it off the DIL cylinder, or run another cylinder. Whilst it seems...
