Is the O-ring still made? If so, Why not just replace it? I just replaced the O-ring for my DC-500 and it was only $8. Cheap cost for a bit of piece of mind. --- bill

The numbers quoted originally seem to match the Luxfer web page. Luxfer North America (Imperial) Now to make it more interesting you can look at the metric numbers for the same tanks: Luxfer North America (Metric) If you multiply the tank size of 11.1 Liters by a service pressure of...

It was quite funny the first day there watching folks unpack their gear. I had been diving on the Pelagian for the previous 2 weeks and was familiar with the water temps (low 70s around Komodo and mid/upper 70s around Wakatobi area). There was a group of "testosterone" divers bragging about...

Just got back from a week there. No need for hard soles at all. Shore there is pure soft sand.There is nothing hard or sharp to worry about. The way it works for diving the house reef is that you can enter from soft sand beach or if the tied is low you take a "taxi". This involves getting a...

Keep in mind that 24 is the maximum number of dives that are tracked. There is also a limit to the amount of profile data that can be stored. When the profile data overflows or wraps, profile data from previous dives will be tossed as needed and those previous dives while still there, will...

I believe that the limit is 24 dives.

bump... Just in case it got missed. This seems like a really easy one.

5/4/3 Trilastic seam

Just bought a Trilastic 5/4/3 deluxe from ScubaToys. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the suit. It is the first suit that fits my entire body like a glove. Very warm. It is a great suit. I took it to the local scuba park for a day of diving to check weighting. Afterwards, the next day, after the suit...

There has been a lot work going into creating updates for Oceanlog. I'm wondering if some of those updates are being scheduled for the Aeris ACI s/w? Specifically, what is the status of ACI working with Vista? Thank You, --- Bill

I'm with CAPT HOOK on this one. A live aboard does not seem like a good vacation for a non-diver. I have done a few Nekton trips and loved them; however, there isn't much for a non diver to really do. For divers its dive!, dive!, dive!. I think a land based trip to a place like Bonaire, or...

It depends on the type of octo+ you have. There are 2 different types. Some are known as "inline" octos and some are what can be called "fully integrated" octo inflators. If you have one of the "fully integrated" octo inflators like an SS1, Zeagle Octo-Z, or Sherwood Gemini, then you...

The issue isn't doing the proper calculations. It is when switching back and forth between Imperial and Metric on existing dives. Metric and Imperial users want their tank volumes quoted differently.... For the same tank! The complexity in the s/w and in the GUI interface is that when...

In reality you need all 3 regardless of whether the calculations are done in imperial or metric. The full true calculation is identical for either system of units. When you work through the math using all the appropriate units (PSI, CuFt, L, BAR, etc..) if you don't use a working pressure...

I like the mesh backpacks. I think it is easier to carry all the gear on your back. This is my favorite and my wife and I have been using them for a couple of years. Price is good and it can carry all my tropical gear. Regs, fins, BC, boots, wetsuit etc... everything, even has a spot for a...

Yep, I'm tall and thin. 6' and 150 lbs. So I have small shoulders which means a very tight bend with a low dump valve. I don't think they have any of the old hoses anymore. When I was doing this, I had noticed that the Zenas were still using the old hoses. That is what my wife had and led me...

In my case, using a Brigade, like I said it depends on several factors. My guess is that if your hose is "very elastic and stretchy" then you have the older/original hose. There is a HUGE difference between the 2 hoses. One is really stretchy and the other is not. The dump works great all...

It is a design/materials issue. I have the brigade (same BC as Ranger) with an SS1 which is the same configuration as yours. My shoulder dump never worked very well. (Until I fixed it) The problem is the corrugated hose itself. The newer hose isn't really what I would call a corrugated...

I'm not quite understanding what happened. The SL4 has a switch, so I'm kind of confused why the head would need to be turned during a dive. I'm curious as to what exactly happened here to ensure it doesn't happen to me. --- bill
