If you are only going shallow and don’t go beyond 45m then a simple GoPro housing would probably be fine

Perdix AI ticks all those boxes

Personally I’m more focussed on cumulative dive time than quantity of dives

I use the Weefine smart housing and love it. Didn’t bother with the version with the computer on it as it seemed pointless. you can use the Dive+ app but I would recommend the Weefine app as it enables 4K recording and it also uses less than 50% of the battery power that the dive+ app does...

I’m looking to dive Iceland in the near future and was told by a rep at a Diveshow that it’s DrySuit cert + 25dives minimum can anyone else confirm?

I’ve never used my cutter or my backup cutter. Does this make them useless? In fact why I bother carrying my emergency SMB I don’t know, I’ve never needed to use it, I may as well not bother with one as it seems useless. In fact, come to think of it, I’ve never actually needed my backup reg...

I have this exact setup I’ve never had my phone light on ever. My iPhone XS has been put in the case in a morning fully charged and then after 2 dives and a surface interval I remove it from the case and Ive always got at least 50% battery remaining. the case/phone has a standby mode to save...

I’ve got one great for checking behind you if there’s a leak. Great for using as a ‘wing mirror’ when your buddy is ‘dynamically moving around’. Great for checking above is clear before you ascend. Great for glancing at the surface when doing an SMB. Great for a signalling device on the surface...

my SPG on left post is mainly there for pre/post dive checks. During the actual dive i only check my computer which is wirelessly linked to the TX on my right post. i know its another failure point by having both but realistically this isn't an issue for me. Having the AI means i am much more...

I was on a holiday a few years ago when i started diving and found out that our Diveguide was also a recently passed DM, this gave me loads of confidence that, as a beginner, i would be in safe hands. The guy was a shockingly bad diver and was erratic and all over the place. At one point i...

Hypothetical question for now, I’m nowhere near ready to consider this, however I wondered what skills one should work on and have absolutely nailed prior to considering this type of diving? What gear choices should be considered? Things like cutters, redundant airsource(s) and someone on the...

I never rinse my gear after freshwater/pool dives either, i always thought it wasn't a big deal to do this unless in saltwater or swamps

I had a look at the Easydive units and a good play and decided after a few hours of demos to go with the Kraken (branded in the UK as Weefine) Housing. Can’t wait to try it out, seems like great value for money!

i get this all the time when shallow diving <1.5m I find that physically lowering your arm usually jolts the computer into noticing you are still underwater.

I've been like a bookworm with the specs of each of these 2 camera housings... Im 99% sure I'm going to buy one or the other but feel like i need to hear some 'real world' pros and cons from people that have actually used one or the other. Smartphone <<< Link to both here Up until last week i...

What does your local dive shop suggest?

i only dive in my drysuit... its been joked to me many times that the only people i can dive with are those on rebreathers. I wonder what it will be when i get a separate bottle for my dry suit inflation. But its kinda annoying when I'm having to end dives and sometimes waste so much unused gas...

that TLDR explained my thought process perfectly. In situations such as hanging on a line in the blue where swimming deco isn't always ideal, what is the accepted practice? Lowering the GFhi? Dancing on the spot? Arbitrarily increasing deco (aka Long Safety stop? Like i said, I'm new to all...

I'm pretty new to diving and trying to educate myself where possible and i wondered if there is a paper or resource someone can direct me to if this has already been discussed. My SAC rate on deco is around 50% that of the 'working' portion of my dives, Thats not to say i increase my air...

at the minute, drysuit diving in the UK i will usually wear some leggings and a tight ski-thermal type long sleeved top underneath my Santi Flex190 undersuit. I also wear a thick pair of ski socks. I can manage for about 75-90mins in 6'C water before i get too cold. I know others that would...
