In case anybody missed the CG briefing -

From what I read, the toilet is in the front of the craft by the viewing port/hatch. You draw a curtain and do your business while enjoying the view.

I just read about that... link below https://oceangate.com/our-subs/titan-submersible.html Real-Time Health Monitoring The most significant innovation is the proprietary real-time hull health monitoring (RTM) system. Titan is the only manned submersible to employ an integrated real-time...

I'm not a materials engineer, but any worry about cyclic fatigue with a carbon fiber pressure hull of that size? At least with metals/alloys you can often detect signs of fatigue (cracks, etc.), but not sure carbon fiber would give you any indication short of catastrophic failure/shattering. I...

What @hilljo88 said - the new system is really, really fast. Fastest customs experience I have had on an island that I can remember. I was there just last month so there's another recent data point for you.

@DandyDon I think you have posted this before, but can you post a link to the fire/CO unit that you and @Dan are using? Thanks!

Yup..that was it. I looked back and realized I had one on v22 and other on v23 and fixed that right after I got back (right after I downloaded it). At least one mystery solved.. :P

Make sure to rig a breakaway on that line..

I "built" a lavacore shorty out of a pair of LC shorts and the hooded vest. That has become my go to in warm water since it is so much easier to don/doff than my 3mm. I wear it over a rash guard. It is very light and packs small. It does take a long time to dry compared to my wetsuits (prob...

That could be it... I downloaded from teric #1 when I got back from the trip so the timing checks out.

I use the turn off in the menu settings. I think that's "real" off. Good timing in reviving the thread. I just powered up both of my Terics for the first time since my return from a LOB two weeks ago and teric #1 is down from 100% to 68% in 2 weeks while teric #2 is still at 100%. They also...

Also - if you are just using it to test gear, pressurize for a soak, etc. one fill in an AL80 will last you a loooong time. You prob will only need to get it filled/VIP'd every few years vs. every year.

You guys never invite me...so uncool.. 😢

4 is Malpelo? Dang...forgot that one.

You and me both.. once you do Socorro and start talking about "what next" the convo kind of drifts naturally to Cocos/Galapagos. We actually started planning Cocos on the crossing back to Cabo from Socorro. I'll prob complete the trifecta too just because it seems like the natural thing to do.

This.. I think my Cocos trip was like 3k more than Socorro and I am sharing a cabin with a buddy on Cocos whereas in Socorro I paid the single supplement to have my own room. Like for like it's prob 2x as expensive.

I think he means you'll look like a schmuck if you asked the chef to make a special dietary accommodation for you for the week and then he finds out you are eating gluten anyway. It's a tiny kitchen to cook for that many people and space is tight anyway for the non-GF ingredients so asking them...

Lots of good info upthread. Liveaboards are a weird subset of the diving world and should be treated with a fair bit of caution, but @Wookie covered all the important stuff. I was on the Cayman Aggressor 2 weeks ago and am on the Cocos Aggressor in a couple months so despite all the warnings...

+1 on smart tags. Delta lost my bag and I knew it even before we backed up from the gate since my phone didn't show the bag being near me. I was able to walk past the carousel and straight to the baggage office and report it rather than wait in vain for it to appear. After a couple of phone...

Update - Eagle Creek is still alive and kicking. The same bag I mentioned upthread that is now 17 years old got damaged on my trip last week on the Cayman Aggressor (cracked baseplate). I took a shot in the dark and sent a few pics to Eagle Creek thinking that it might be repairable if I sent...
