    Diving Suunto D4 in 50% RGBM ?

    If the computers went in Deco mode, the display will show additional Deco time in the display. I have had 3minutes deco in addition to the safety stop once before. This time, the display only showed minutes and seconds, counting. If I went up, it counted one way, down, the opposite.(it's been a...

    Diving Suunto D4 in 50% RGBM ?

    LDS only have Oceanics and Liquision...and Suunto support has closed the case, saying we dived in Free mode. We did not plan the dive,the Diveleader told us to stay close to the DM, or else we could get problems following him in strong currents. Also, when the D4's failed, we had problems...

    which reg is better

    Point taken, but the Legend ACD was just tested in a Norwegian Diving magazine. After 50 dives it looked like new inside, no trace of water in the 1st.stage. I have my regs serviced once a year to be on the safe side(saw mentioned that every 2 yrs in U.S., and we don't get free parts when...

    Diving Suunto D4 in 50% RGBM ?

    I've seen on different forums that Suunto computers are fairly restrictive compared to other brands. My regular buddy(wife) and me are going on a liveboard in the Red sea in March, and have heard that the Diveops grounds you on the boat if your computer fails.... Setting the RGBM to 50% instead...

    which reg is better

    I have the Legend LX Supreme ACD(AutoClosureDevice), so I don't have to worry about the first stage when rinsing(sealed off). Scare a lot of divecenters though.. I like the possibility to adjust the reg, and the venturi which prevents freeflow(which you also have on the Legend Octo). I dive both...

    Actually, I was on the Hallelujah in January. Nice boat, nice, although a little "military" instructors/DM's:). I think you will be in good hands aboard the Hallelujah, as they had several people doing AOW on our trip. I would also recommend Nitrox. That said, I would recommend doing AOW before...

    Lift capacity/head above water on single wing vs jacket

    On Diversnight, 3/11-2011, I tried a 40lbs wing, with AluBP & STA,and Whites Fusion Tech drysuit. it was a nightdive, and I tried with 12kg of weights. My buddy had to help me down, but I think that was because I did not get all air out of the suit before the dive(air in undergarments, 4E...

    Lift capacity/head above water on single wing vs jacket

    Well, unfortunately, I'm not able to descend without 6kgs..but I agree that with a 15l steel I should have removed some. But, I'm not that experienced(70+dives, 1 with BP/W). I assumed the DM(with OWSI Certif.) should have known, and told me to remove some when he handed me the tank... I found...

    Lift capacity/head above water on single wing vs jacket

    Kotik: Was wearing a 5mm shorty, and 6kg weights. Very salty water, first time I had to use 2 weights on my camera to get fairly neutral buoyancy on it.. Vladimir: Regulator in use, but could not stop hyperventilating, and then you build up CO...Ever tried getting out of that circle?? I need...

    Lift capacity/head above water on single wing vs jacket

    Just got back from holiday, this time with my new 18 pound oxycheq single wing. I have never used wings before, only jacket BCD's. Tried it first in confined water, and needed 6kg weights... On the first boat dive, I got a 15l steel, which almost led to disaster when I got in the...
