Claudia is a real tech diver. No doubt about it. But she also is connected with Add Helium, which sells the Thermalution stuff. Now do they sell it because it's good and that's why she uses it? Or does she promote it because they sell it? I'm not even going to consider that quandary. I will...

My question would be what advantage this one provides over others that don't have the controller and/or battery pack inside the suit. Like Peter said, it is probably just a matter of time. I have 2 different heated garments, and both use external battery. I have every confidence that if they...

I carry a copy of the proof of insurance. Fortunately I've never had to use it. If I had to pay for the car on the spot, I'm sure I would get reimbursed. But it's a good question whether they would wire the money without proof of loss or seeing the damage. More likely they would provide a...

My American Express card has a program I'm registered in through a third party insurer. Any time I rent a car using my Amex card, I get primary insurance coverage for $25 for rentals up to 45 days. That's not $25 per day, it's $25 for the whole rental period. Can't beat that. iPhone. iTypo...

I have carried my FastFind PLB for years in the OMS waterproof canister as part of their EDS pouch. It holds the canister and 2 lift bags or large SMBs. They stopped making the canister years ago. But now with DUI taking over the OMS products, maybe they will start making them again if there...

This would be a serious plus in cave country. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

I don't know where you got the idea this was a weakness. Not even from DD's initial post. The weakness would be if a diver knew she was susceptible to narcosis, but refused to use helium out of laziness, ignorance, or arrogance. I don't think you will find anyone posting that agrees with...

Again, a PLB is for loss on the surface and must be manually activated. Loss underwater currently has no tracking technology or passive device to assist with locating a victim. I believe more divers are lost underwater than at the surface. But I carry a PLB in a rescue canister on every dive...

Go ahead and rub it in. I was on medical leave during those trips and pretty pissed off about it.

Wow, I really thought it was you. Now I'm worried about Alzheimers. I'll have to check back a few years.

I distinctly remember asking my hydro guy many years ago about sandblasting to get paint off the outside of a tank and he said it was forbidden. If that's true, I can't imagine it being allowed on the inside either. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Then how the hell did you ever get those gunboats into that Waterproof drysuit I bought from you?

I don't know about Jim Elliott, but all the other figures quoted are BS. This false spam email has been going around for almost 10 years. That's not to say that the CEOs of various charities don't receive high salaries, or that Diveheart is not a worthy cause. It's just that I hate inaccuracy...

Absolutely love this term!

Or move to Delaware. No sales tax. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

Not near TN anyway. iPhone. iTypo. iApologize.

As I noted elsewhere: 1. The 4 small buttons close together could be a problem with heavy gloves/mitts. 2. Rechargeable batteries can be a problem if they are not user replaceable (like the defunct X1). I saw nothing in the material that mentioned the ability to replace the battery.

I'll be next in line after rhwestfall.

Seriously? $257 for the sensor? I think the analyzer was about $300 and included a can of bump gas. I'm not blaming Mike, but that sensor is outrageous. Anyone using a different analyzer that found a more reasonable replacement part cost?

I found the velcro ones to be slightly more comfortable, but not as durable. Velcro decays. If you want the buckle kind, look at Dive Rite. What kind of hanger are you using? And what kind of seal is $120 except a zip seal?
