    New Seacraft Go! DPV

    You could post in here, or a separate topic. Either way, I think there are a lot of us wanting to know as much as possible about this awesome looking DPV, from people who are using it real world. I saw some on a dive recently, but they were waiting for the rest of the group to enter the water...

    New Seacraft Go! DPV

    What sort of speeds in the water are we talking about with the Go at gear 10, and the 50% throttle mode with low battery? I.e are either of them enough to make your reg purge? Or are those stories I hear only related to the higher end models?

    Lefeet P1?

    How does the noise compare between the Lefeet and the larger, slower turning props on the bigger DPVs?

    Dive Xtras Blacktip Tech Safety Notice

    Sorry to hear you had problems, but I'm curious which leak detector you installed and how well it worked?

    My Blacktip Leaked Yesterday

    Has it been leak free with your buddy? I'm curious if the revisions to the tube have corrected the issues a few people seem to be seeing :D

    My Blacktip Leaked Yesterday

    Don't forget to post photos of the differences, I know you don't have the old one to compare to, but perhaps point out the differences in the photos on the new tube. :D

    Lefeet P1?

    Just wondering if anyone had experience with the P1, including the larger battery option? Considering a DPV that I can use for my long snorkelling / freediving sessions, that I can also use for scuba diving when I get back into it. I was originally considering the Blacktip, but after reading...

    cheap chinese video light review

    Interesting. Do you have any photos of this setup? I used Piezo switches in mine, and ended up drilling additional holes for the power LED indicators with 3d printed transparent plastic covers (3mm thickness) posted earlier in this thread.

    Repair or cut water barrier?

    Hello all, I've been using my Waterproof W1 5mm semi-dry wetsuit for the last 6 months or so, and noticed a tear has appeared on the water barrier seal on one of the ankles (see attached photo). Looking for peoples opinions on if I should try to repair this (somehow?), or simply use a pair of...

    Sidemount for rec diving?

    I went side mount for redundancy reasons and to be honest find it a lot of messing around rigging the tanks up and getting them in / out of the water - but 99.9% of what I do is shore diving in Indonesia so I can't really comment on the boat diving, though I have done it a couple of times and...

    Dive Rite CCR XT Wing VS Classic XT - Independent Doubles

    Hey all, I'm currently looking into adjusting my setup to move into diving independent doubles (probably AL63 or AL50 tanks), and possibly twinset with manifold in future, but for now, just ID. I'm comparing the CCR XT wing and the classic XT, both in single bladder config. I can see that the...

    So what solid state sensors are out there at the moment?

    There's some really interesting stuff on the website you linked, including Co2 monitoring... So we have the sensors, but with the likes of Choptima, what is stopping us from using them - simply that Shearwater currently do not support digital input?

    Help finding info regarding rebreather diver seriously ill from unclean rebreather

    Hey rebreather community, I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me find some info I was reading a while back (1-2 years ago), but google seems to no longer return the search hit. There was a forum post, albeit on a completely different forum to SB, where a rebreather diver had posted his...

    Teric OR MK3

    As a side note, there is a bug on the Garmins where by they over read on the PPo2. It's pretty obvious if you set the Oxygen percentage to 100% and then put the watch in dive mode at sea level, and the PPo2 will read 1.10, which is impossible. This also affects deco time too, so it's not just a...

    cheap chinese video light review

    Actually I already did all the mods mentioned here, with two piezo switches (one for white light and one for colour) and drilled two new holes for RGB LEDs which I JBwelded in place, for the battery status. Also soldered an additional copper ring onto the existing one on the board, to give it...

    TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) - Advanced Nitrox

    Suspect the feeling less tired after diving using Nitrox / deco stops with deco mixes is due to less microbubble load on your system, and hence less immune system reaction. On the opposite end of that spectrum, I find if I get my CNS to 20% or above on a single dive using Nitrox, I get CNS...

    TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) - Advanced Nitrox

    Unsure at this point. As someone else pointed out, I had another topic on the go about maxing out Po2 on the rebreather to minimise risk from a P.F.O. Off gassing using a strong EN mix seems to work quite well for me, but I'd prefer the theoretical extra safety margin from the rebreather -...

    TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) - Advanced Nitrox

    Thanks for the input guys, I don't want this to get off topic about why I might want to dive on OC with "up to" 100% O2 (actually about 60% works better for me), but to put it simply, my physiology is different than most, so anyone saying "it's pointless on a recreational dive" clearly has never...

    TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) - Advanced Nitrox

    Hello, I searched online for the answer to this question but couldn't spot anything so thought I'd ask on here. Does anyone know, if you complete the TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) non-deco, since the rebreather is injecting pure oxygen into the loop, does this mean you also earn the Advanced...

    Vivid Housings Leak Sentinel V6 custom install

    That would be great, however my Sea frogs RX100 VII (60m) housing does not have the port for the VPS-100, or any port for that matter.
