66 to 69! I have a friend in Tampa. That's positively toasty!MAYBE SHE''L LET ME SLEEP ON THE FLOOR BETWEEN DIVES!

When regulators are tested for performance specifications, it is done by a machine that "breathes" the regulator and takes various measurements via electronic means and and provides empirical results via a computer. This is done through thousands of cycles (breaths) at various depths (some very...

I do the eddy current test (with their latest software) and I have not had one of these pass the test since 2008. Most cracks are visible. The risks are small but real. I would rather lose a customer than have to explain to a loved one how somebody got injured or killed. I had one seriously...

Been sued myself as a shotgun defendant, five times in five years. Never had to go to court myself because of documentation and proper procedures. I never had to settle, almost every other defendant had to pay something, a percentage of the deal. I did not. In addition, I was sued ( and never...

And yet, a flood in your bathroom is not likely to end in a lawsuit over liability in your death. It is very frequent in the event a diver dies. ---------- Post added December 15th, 2013 at 09:46 AM ---------- ---------- Post added December 15th, 2013 at 09:50 AM ---------- Yep, seen that...

I get what your saying, and for the most part I agree, especially with simply taking your business elsewhere; The trust issues about documentation only comes into play when you have a lawsuit. The fact is, you get named, no matter what. If you cannot provide proof you did what you said you did...

I just liked this post and I would like to state I can't like it enough. I must say one of the most depressing, saddest things about the diving community is an almost total lack of simple trust, despite every step an honest service provider can supply good service and documentation. You can...

i suspect based on your description that the o rings on the buttons have developed a small leak and some moisture has entered the unit. These o rings should be replaced every two years I believe, it's done at the factory. If they have not been changed, that show a possible cause. If I recall...

What he said. Some jurisdictions require by law all parts be returned to the customer. Some jurisdictions state that parts MAY BE returned to the customer unless the parts may cause some hazard. In our business, this would be reuse of old parts. Demilling solves this) . Some manufacturers...

One of the design intents of the regulator is cave diving applications. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that the design thinking went to a desire for cave divers for their regulator to fail closed in order to preserve gas in the event of a failure. It is my understanding that side mount...

It's a downstream according to the specs I received. I don't have the regulator in my hand to confirm that personally at this time.

The 500SE has a servo valve design. In terms of overall performance, it's very tough to beat the design. Past models have had problems with being "wet" AUP has pretty much solved this in redesign of the second stage housing making them no wetter than any other reg. I have tested the reg...

The XR1NX has been discontinued. The A100 is the model most like the one you ordered. You have received more than you bargained for. as stated earlier, LP does this routinely when they have advertised a discontinued product and have run our of stock. Not a huge fan of LP, but they do not screw...

A quick island hop can cause problems (Miami to St. Croix for example), that's why I asked. Probably nothing you can do. It most likely needs to get sent in for service. Call Aqualung, but when computers start performing erratically, they generally need service.

Was it given enough time time to adjust to an altitude change before being immersed? If not, it probably needs to go back to the factory. FYI, it probably needs to go back anyway.

I hate to say this, but manufacturers generally can tell if a unit has been opened.That will void your warranty. Period. I understand why it's tempting to go ahead and try to save money by DIY, but if a manufacturer wants it sent back to them, it's because there is a good reason. There are other...

Nah, you do enough of them you just get dejected.:depressed:

I've looked quite a bit at dive computers, and i don't think there are any that give you credit for O2 exposure in surface intervals. I could be wrong, but I don't know any. I looked a little deeper, Suunto claims on the Vytec that the o2 recovery is reduced. I have no idea what exactly that...

20 ft of vis at Metridiums, 15 along the wall. In 18 years of diving in Monterey,I have never seen so much life than today. 11 octopuses, hordes of bat stars, the largest cabezon I've ever seen, five and six sea lions at a time, saw a healthy Mola Mola, lots of deceased as well. Crabs...
