    Hollis Prism 2 electronics in head. Photos!

    I have a used Hollis Prism 2 and I was getting an issue with the 3rd cell dropping out. It was intermittent. If it happens, it usually comes back by the next day. When it happens it ramps down to .00. So I pinged Shearwater and Hollis. I cleaned the already great condition harness between the 3...

    Cheap UW flashlight to laser pointer conversion

    Okay, it's been forever on this one. So after the first setup burned up in a giant smelly mess (no exploded 18650 battery) I tried again. The 2nd time, I decided to leave the electronics that drive the LED flashlight in place since it was pretty precision with the placement of the hall-effect...

    Hollis Prism 2 rigid tank mount

    I actually just got a stand from Don Six. Haven't installed it yet and checked to see if it eliminates my desire to make solid tank mounting system.

    Hollis Prism 2 rigid tank mount

    I was thinking something like this, where one side bolts to the two existing frame mounts. The top having the pin to secure it, the bottom being angled in such a way that the bottom goes in first and is captured. The tank side would be rounded off. Rough idea (not to scale, I didn't take...

    Hollis Prism 2 rigid tank mount

    Yea, same. The mounts could be "thick" enough to push the tanks out far enough that the can latches clear the tanks.

    Hollis Prism 2 rigid tank mount

    Hello all, One thing that is a bit of a weak point to me on the Prism 2 is the tanks. They strap to the unit using velcro, which seems great as far as speed to replace. But without a stand, the weight of the unit on the tank valves (which have rubber shock absorbing bumpers) tends to push the...

    Lake Phoenix Dive Report - Oct 5th & 6th 2019

    Hit up the ol' Phoenix with StuartV and Jeremy Williams. What an awesome weekend. 5 mil wetsuit and 1 mil gloves, no hood. Good to 35 feet for long periods of time. Dipped to 51ft or so. Don't have computer for exact numbers with me and haven't downloaded. The point where you're at the bottom...

    Regular quarry diver found dead - Falling Rock Park, Kentucky

    That unit in the earlier picture.... I have the same unit, only mine is a tad bit older. I bought it used from eBay after thinking they seemed pretty cool and of a really streamlined design. Prior owner of the one I bought used it to escape the country of Dubai after they were holding him...

    Current State Of Rebreather Electronics

    Meh, the electronics on most seem outdated but there is no hints of any new developments in the pipeline? AFAIK the CanBus is vendor specific. Is the protocol open? There are $2 OLED screens that could be made into something like a readout only nerd2 type device (ppo2 of 3 sensors) for $5 in...

    Tough love for the industry's lithium addiction

    You should be able to charge 100 devices on a 2 amp USB chargers (iphone, ipad, etc) from a 15 amp 117v circuit. That's a lot of cell phones, and they will only draw that much when they're empty. Of course larger scooter and pro video batteries might use more. Chaining power strips is really...

    There are other sensors like heat detectors that can trigger on rate of heat change. Smoke detection isn't the only option.

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    On my last trip to Utila I flooded one of my cheap lights with Seawater. It was powered by one of the beloved, super cheap low quality 18650 Lithium Ion batteries. It got warm. I held it away from me, just in case it was going to pop and lacked any sort of burst disc. It didn't. Upon opening it...

    With emergency lighting that comes on when alarm is triggered, and maybe blinking illumination around egress points. Tech is cheap.

    Fire on dive boat Conception in CA

    From what I remember the early news reports were that it was very foggy. That might of made it difficult to see shore. This is based on early news reports, I am not presenting it as a fact.
