I dont have a Garmin Dive computer, but I have had various forerunners. And paired with the HRM-Pro I have no issues getting pretty accurate readings while diving. I either strap it to my ankle or in the chest pocket of my drysuit. I do however prefer not to have it against bare skin, as there...

Would be really nifty if someone made that into an app for Garmin...

This could be a couple of different things. If it is short lived, and you have reason to believe it might be food-poisoning, you should feel better within a couple of days. However... the combination of diareah and vomiting could possibly be Noro virus or Rota virus, which is highly...

Remember... Very few people complain about having room for enough clothes. It is a lot easier to dive a drysuit with more room, than it is keeping warm in a drysuit without proper amout of insulation. If you use your suit for warmth and not for buoyancy (as you should) A bit of extra material...

Depends on the standard cut of the suit. Usually we buy our suits and try them on with "maximum" amount of undergarments. Preferably done in wintertime so you can try the suit on in the backyard of the shop. The fab thing about Plura is that summer temperatures on land ranges from 5-30.... I...

In Mexico I did 4hrs with two thin layers of wool baselayers. No gloves. No Hood. In France, I did a couple hours with a Kwark Navy and a baselayer. (Didn't exit because of cold) In Norway (4c) longest was a 3,5hr dive with a Kwark Navy extreme, 2 layers thin merino wool, 1 layer terry wool...

Have a chat with the guys at fotografit.eu. They can help you out.

XTX-50/DST works fine even in Trondheim and Narvik. I have a bunch different apekses from the 50 and up. No need to shell out with more than for the 50. Ido most of my diving in Norway. Water ranging from -2 and up. But I would go with Apeks.

My first question would be... What do you eat on dive days? A proper meal plan can be of equal or bigger difference to the ability to stay warm than garments. More on that after your answer. I live in Norway, and dive in the Oslo fjord. Close to sweden, and possibly the same waters. Here is my...

There are many ways for people to want gas/a way out. However, I am not sure the likelyhood of someone doing the rational act of "asking for gas" and then bolting to the surface without some kind of signals. (Not conscious, but ways of acting). However, on a rec dive, I would follow them up. The...

It is a backup and only meant for emergencies... So it should be in your RIGHT pocket obvs!

This would be a misread of what I intended to write. My bad for not specifying. I will do my best to ascend from depth to first decompression stop as fast as reasonable. (IE, some local wrecks, the ascent is on a line and the first part of the ascent can just as nicely be done pointing the DPV...

Not sure I recognize those cases. Assume I am "the other diver". I dive both OC and CCR, and didn't cross to CCR because of skin-bends, I mostly crossed because of deeper wrecks and sick of being cold. I also usually dive 40/80. However... tricks to minimise gas tissue tension. Slow shallow...

Yes it is. It is however a bit more expensive, a a lot more difficult to come by in sports/undergarments. We do not however disagree on alpacas wonderful properties :D

What is it with americans and their synthetics! WOOL! Wool is naturally wicking. It is the ONLY fabric that also retains insulation properties also when wet. It is also naturally resistant to odours! Wool can be used as base layers, midlayers, top layers and in-between layers. Combining...

Or, as a buddy happened to him... He "lost" his fins to a cheaky buddy at 4m... and while swimming with fin-less drysuit-booties was handed a oxygen stage, then a 32% stage... and with a stage in both hands, were handed a 50% stage. A very short while later the stages were sorted, and the cheaky...

I am sorry to say... but most likely... Planlegger forøvrig dykk på Svestad på lørdag kl 10. Min form er litt ustabil om dagen, og det er første dykk tilbake, så jeg har lav terskel for tommel, men om du vil henge med så er du hjertelig velkommen.

Where do you keep your lead? You might actually be slightly top heavy over all.

I find it a bit disheartening to see that people who want to do specific tasks to improve control under water are being told "they're not having fun". Different people have fun in different ways. Personally, I am not a very gifted person when it comes to motor-skills, however, I am one of those...

Like @BlueTrin writes, Flow Check is a systematic control of valves. However, they might not necessarily need to be open. The check is to control that they are closed or open depending on what they are supposed to be. It is also done after an attempt to fix a failure to verify which valves are...
