DC dive show returns to the DC Convention Center this weekend. It's Saturday and Sunday. DC Dive Show | Scuba Diving and Adventure Vacation Expo I will be there volunteering with the DC and Virginia and Maryland Scuba meetup group or whatever we're called. There is a Saturday night party...

Unfortunately not ready to hit the water yet this year. Going to test equipment in pool Sunday. Maybe next time!

Most likely they can't afford it. As worldwide asset bubbles were blown big in housing, the young lost a lot of buying power. Much of their money is going to nosebleed rents or mortgages on grossly overpriced houses. This is in addition to money extracted for student loans. For those renters...

It's divine. Quiet, and surreal. I get the concern though, it's been a pretty bad year for CCR'ing. There seem to have been a good number of fatalities on modern units, and the cause is often never published public (or known.)

Prob CCR

Thanks for the report!

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...

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...

There are FFM that can be used with CCR.

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.

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...

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

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...

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...

Oh my what is that mess. Indeed, I apologize, that is in no way a C96. ;-)

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...

It looks like there is a little bit more info in this thread: Lake Phoenix Death

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...

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...

Wetsuit? Drysuit? If I recall it was a tid bit nipply at the platform but you adjust! Hehe.
