New Suunto computer. Notable features (to me): Inertial navigation! Well, sort of. According to the manual, you can view a track of your dive in the app afterwards, but not during the dive. I'm assuming this is a) due to processing limitations, and b) because it uses the GPS start and end...

I had Kubis previously; I now have the Santi system on one suit, and the PSI system (an aluminum knockoff of the Rolocks) on my other suit. I like the Santi system the most, mostly because the flexible/soft rubber ring is the least bulky and doesn’t mess with lights or scooters. The Kubo...

Canadian dollaridoos, so $2.33/cu ft in Freedom units. No booster fee either :cool:

Unless I'm missing something...I thought this was accepted best practice (and GUE SOPs) for deco bottles - dive with the reg pressurized but the valve closed.

FWIW, I have got through to someone when calling the number listed on Google Maps before (after they left items off an order, and ignored emails about it...). The person on the phone wasn't exactly any friendlier, but it did resolve the issue!

Curious if you know of any testing/source for this? I always assumed that purging a reg into an unconcious victim's mouth wouldn't do much good, as the air would just come out of the exhaust valve. Rescue breaths and bag valve create some amount of positive pressure that (I think) would be...

Seems like the article isn't available online anywhere, but I'd like to read the paragraphs following this. That text doesn't actually say that you provide in-water chest compressions - it says that you have a "decision to make", and that the victim will need rescue breaths and chest...

I haven't actually changed my shaft seal yet (if it ain't broke, etc), but the procedure looked very straightforward when I looked it up. To save $$$, I definitely recommend buying the VESC from Flipsky directly and flashing it yourself. Be warned, some of the other low-voltage components (i.e...

Programming the VESC is very easy. I did it myself - after buying a replacement board from Dive Xtras that arrived completely DOA, and their refusal to help, I realized that they use an off-the-shelf Flipsky VESC 4.2, and the firmware to flash on it is available on Github. As long as you have a...

Bump: Price drop to $800.

FYI - I have a similar setup still for sale. Open to offers! https://scubaboard.com/community/threads/olympus-e-pl10-housing-flash.645226/

What’s the volume of the inflated bag?

I've flown with the 12Ahs and not had a problem. As others have said, make sure you have the red cap, print out all the documentation, and give yourself 30 extra minutes in the airport so that you can have an argument with TSA without missing your flight.

Any idea on the pricing for a DIN conversion kit?

I have a 120cm (‘double shoulder length’) climbing sling with a random old shoulder pad from a tool bag slung over it. You can hook it around the valves, and then it’s the right height for me to squat and lift entirely with my legs. Not the most comfortable solution for carrying long distances...

Once it’s compressed a little with use (say ~20 dives), it’ll be a bit more buoyant than Arctics. When I had a (brand new) Flex 2.0 that didn’t fit me, I used about 4lbs of extra lead, but I strongly suspect that would have gone down a little bit over time.

150 so dives on mine, 5ish washes, everything still looks like new.

I have DS4s, DSTs and FSRs that I have used for my backcountry doubles regs at various points. I like the routing of the FSR (with 5th port) the most, with the extra angle all the LP hoses come off at the perfect angle. I also service my own regs, and the replaceable knife edge on the FSR is a...

I've had this happen on my Apeks regs, but only when the DIN threads are getting particularly crusty. I've taken to giving the handwheels an ultrasonic bath every 6 months/50 dives, at the same time I check all the hoses for tightness, confirm cracking pressure etc. Also encourages me to replace...
