If its gone blank and its not battery related - (try lightly cleaning the battery contacts with an eraser first) then, I would say its probably done for, for your own interest maybe check the serial number at the back, not that it helps you any, but early units had a number of issues which were...

Definately not 16 years old. It was discontinued around 2006/7 if my memory serves me correctly, but it was not on the model list for that long, at most it is probably 8 years old if you factor in date up to 2010.

I think this is pretty much my feeling as well. In this industry today, I get the feeling one needs to be a bit more prudent than usual, and, I just think investing money where it directly generates profit for me like inventory, upgrades to equipment etc, is a lot more "interesting" to me at...

I agree, I think its high, its still a small proportunate cost for an international visitor like me where 4 days at Dema kicks in at a minimum of around $6000.00 (usually a tad more) if you include flights, USA Visa's, Hotel Accom. etc, etc, and thats not taking into account time away from the...

For some reason it didnt want to upload the images on the above post so I will try and type it in here - http://www.news24.com/Galleries/Image/Images/MyNews24/Whale%20breaches%20onto%20yacht

Yeah, maybe, - it would be a very,very,rare occurance and hense photo if its genuine. Whales are generally very aware of their surroundings, and although these whales (Southern Right Whales) dont use sonar as they feed on krill they have excellant vision and hearing, I think it would be very...

I see now theres some discussions over the validity of the photo, the key issue they say is that the skipper do's not appear to be looking at the whale. Whatever the case, its quite an "interesting" scenario.:D

Yeah, I remember it too. I visited Sterkfontein caves just a short while after his body was recovered. The conditions must have been horrific, pitch black, freezing cold and full of insects and rodents, imagine a month in those conditions!

Yeah, I agree, "please dont shoot the messenger" :D -but, in honesty, I think NEWS 24 is a fairly well respected source, so I trust (hope) they would have verified their source.

Its on this news alert NetDoc. BP sued for burning turtles!. BP sued for burning turtles: News24: World: News

I concur, I was horrified when I read some 450 odd turtles had been trapped in the oil and burnt to death in the burnoffs. I mean :shakehead:...........there's just no words for it.! Surely, surely in this modern day and age they could do something to ensure they rescue the turtles before...

This has to be one of the most well thought out posts I have read on this spill.

Yeah, I am with you there, - but just thinking, could they be "stolen" from say a Suunto distributors warehouse somewhere, I guess even the factory.? Probably never know but its a thought.!

:D, Ha,Ha, - No, not surprised that there is a "Chinese Fake" - just surprised they would consider it viable to invest in "faking" such a low volume item. Surely its a lot more profitable to make an imitation Rolex, Tag Heuer etc where they can sell millions, than a very specialised dive...

Interesting indeed, its the first time I ever hear of "fake" dive computers, although in this day and age, who knows what folk will do to make a buck. Fakes still have a cost involved and this is such a small market, I didnt think it would be financially interesting to set up a production...

Yeah, I think that about sums it up.:depressed: As others have said its very difficult to ascertain, the training agencies numbers dont tally with equipment sold, and those numbers dont tally with charter and day dive operator numbers. From my own experience and this is just a personal...

Hmm, I am sorry to see it go and I must say I never really felt it was abused. Actually this was the only board I participate in that had the feature, I always thought it was kind of unique. Wont it make threads very long now, with quotes and "Thanks" - just wondering.?

Sorry for the question, and I know it has nothing to do with the op post, but I am confused,....the way I see it, air can only hold a given amount of moisture at a given pressure, so humidity should not really be a determining factor in a filter cartridge life.? Surely temperature and pressure...

Yes, there were lots of colourfull characters back in those "hairy" days of recreational scuba. I never met Carl sadly, but his name was known far and wide, especially in the Keys area. Another interesting character was of course Spencer Slate, who I did know and dived quite often with him...

Yeah, sure its understandable, but I think the pressure was / is on to do something that shows measureable results, and this was the best shot. I dont think they had another choice at the time. The cap seems to be a workable solution though, and it appears there are plans afoot to make a...
