    Back to Florida at the end of the month!

    Dove peanut tunnel today - not even trying to get far - just tooling around - hit 800+ on sixth. Viz was terrible down pothole - but a lot of people and classes and been down there. I won't get to the peanut restriction on 40cf, my SAC is not that good. But if your SAC is down around .5-.6 40cf...

    Back to Florida at the end of the month!

    My wife and I hit sixths of her HP100s at 1000 feet in the Peanut Line on the midnight new years eve dive on Dec 31st/Jan 1st. Peanut line is shallow and no flow. You might be surprised. Sounds like a plan to me. Assuming work is no issue, I'll be at Bill's (Cave Excursions) for fills that...

    Back to Florida at the end of the month!

    Definitely love to dive Peacock on Thursday. I'm a newbie (IANTD Intro Cave - Oct 2007) like yourself but I have many dives in the first 1000ft of Peanut and Pothole at Peacock I.

    Wing sizing with double HP 100's. (+)

    Again Tobin is a wealth of information. I will simply add this my wife dives doubles HP 100s and with a stainless steel plate a 50lbs wing was JUST enough - with an aluminum plate 50lbs seems perfect. This is for fresh water. In the ocean with just a wet suit - I'd ask myself, regardless of...

    Are we really the minority??

    You can own a motorcycle and not be a biker. You can fish occasionally and not be a fisherman. You can scuba dive occasionally and not be a diver. You have to live the lifestyle to BE something. I am a diver, I am a computer programmer, everything else I do on occasion but I am not that. I...

    Online Sales - The importance of buying from local businesses

    The problem I always have with this argument is my real life experience with most local dive shops. Products - An LDS by definition is a specialty store. So why is it when I walk into most of them and want a canister light, a backplate, a wing, a drysuit (all made by companies headquartered in...

    Best and worst experiences buying used DUIs on E-bay?

    I bought mine and my wife's TLS350 via ScubaBoard. I have been very happy with both purchases. I got a screaming deal on my wife's suit. And mine is fine for what I paid - will it need a zipper and seals - yeah probably by the end of this year.

    We're coming back to Florida!

    Definitely hit up Little River! I just had the pleasure of diving it with Jean on Friday. It was totally awesome! We also dove Peacock I - Peanut and Pothole - Pothole took on a whole new light (literally) with Jean pointing every little thing out - like cover your light at the pothole jump (see...

    Contact lenses, eye glasses and diving

    My vision sucks and I dive with my contacts. I practiced for the no mask swim requirements for cave in my pool with my eyes open with no issues. I did the no mask swims in the springs with my eyes open. Amazingly my contacts don't seem to float off.

    Why do so many poorly skilled divers...

    Not to be negative - but its because the average skill level in nearly anything lots of humans do is pretty poor. There is a vast army of people that want everything to be easy, hence they will never master anything difficult. Unfortunately its becoming less and less acceptable to call people on...

    Strange thing to say... or so I think!

    Actually if you look at the pinout for a DB9 connector. Pin 2 is receive, Pin 3 is transmit, Pin 5 is signal ground. The other pins are flow control, carrier detection, ring indicator, etc.

    Strange thing to say... or so I think!

    According the manual the RS232C connector on board is a 2.5mm 3 pole jack. The cable plugs into this and ends in a DB9.

    Strange thing to say... or so I think!

    RS-232C is a plain old serial connection not USB. The other models like this camera have USB not RS232C for extracting still images. Chances are a USB<->RS-232 adapter would work if you have the serial cable that plugs into the camera. This camera does a 4 pin DV(firewire) port also, as I...

    Strange thing to say... or so I think!

    The GR-DVL320 has a 4 pin IEEE 1394 DV Output (4 pin Firewire). So as advised above you need a 4pin to 6pin or a 4pin to 4pin depending on your computer. This camera also does not have USB but does have a RS-232C Serial connection for downloading still images. You can download the manual here
