You would need to recertify to establish professional membership as a PADI Pro as even if you were officially certified you were inactive and did not pay membership dues for 10 years which means your cert is well lapsed and out of date. Reading between the lines, you never paid anual membership...

Dive computers with a standby/sleep mode, or divert to a time/date screen (wrist watch mode) will often "wake up" when they sense they are wet, but dive mode is typically not activated until submerged below a specific nominal depth...usually just a bit past 1 meter. -Z

I was going to see if I could make that shark eating a diver video, but it turns out that Flow is a subscription based google service. They are currently offering 1-month for free, but I had little desire to plug in my credit card or paypal info to play with it just to have to figure out how to...

I really do think that is the best choice...and digging them out was no problem as it gave me an excuse to go through our dive equipment and sort it into bins for each person in our family, which is something I had been meaning to do since we moved back to the US in 2021. My daughters are in...

Oh, come on now!?!?! :troll::wink: -Z

Just dug out the bin it has been residing in and saddly the boot for my daughter's Air2 and my VyperAir have both succombed to the ravages of time/age and are nothing but broken pieces. However, I do have 3 boots from regular Vyper computers that look like the picture below. As depicted, unlike...

Often due to insurance requirements, many dive shops/dive ops require AOW certification for divers to participate in dives that go deeper than the training limits established for OW courses of instruction (18M/60FT). Because of the above insurance imposed depth restriction, it is often...

Local libraries are a good source to check if they do 3d printing. The one in our town charges 7 cents per gram of filament, and usually takes only a couple of days to do the print after sending them the necessary file(s). -Z

It is slightly different size than the Vyper Novo. A boot for a Vyper Air or HelO2 will work with your Vyper2. My eldest daughter's computer is a Vyper2 and we all use bungee mounts, so I might have the original boot that came with it....give me a day or so to check as I have to figure out...

The ProDiver Royal is definitely not a piston regulator. I just ran through the parts list for both it and the Conshelf, and they share quite a number of parts. The parts they don't have in common seem to be more due to the size/shape of the ProDiver Royal 1st stage. Given the different...

I don't have any issues with closing the outer zipper...though, I did put a loop of cord on the pull tab to assist with closing it on my own. Once I get it most of the way closed, I stuff the dry zip's pull ribbon under the skin and then close the outer zip the rest if the way. -Z

Here is a screen shot from the Conshelf XII Arctic Explorer 1st and 2nd stage Service Manual, that outlines the reassembly/filling of the environmental chamber. Between all the info I have posted to this thread, you should be able to adequatly/confidently refill yours and put it back into service:

The below attached US Divers Royal 1st stage service manual has procedures for the Aqualung/US Divers Wet Environmental Chamber using silicone oil. You will find it on the right hand side of page 10. The procedure should be the same for the Spiro Supra Arctic as Spirotechnique was the...

Look at pages F12 and F13 in the attached manual for the Mares MR22 Extreme....the Supra Arctic should be filled similarly. Good luck. -Z

Page 11 of the service manual attached below should get you on the right track. If not, I believe the procedure is similar to the Mares wet cold water kit. I wll have to pull up a service manual from my collection and post it later today.

See attached. Enjoy! -Z

See attached. Cheers! -Z

I took meclazine prophylactically to prevent motion sickness during rough seas while stationed on an FFG. It caused a quite the feeling of fatigue and drowziness. Luckily the ship would reduce to only essential watch-standers during rough seas and most others were then expected to be in their...

Your post reads like its "not equivalent" because it doesn't fit your narrative. My post is a parallel example, meant to take the scenario to a bit of an extreme to make a comparison and a point. Your response basically says that its not ok for a big corporate entity to take advantage of its...

All you folks who say you would or that others should eat the expense and not expect compensation, lets look at this through a slightly different lens: You book a flight on a major airline. As you pull away from the terminal in preparation to take off, a fellow passenger has a heart attack...
