    Question Is AOW a waste of time?

    Skip the certs and gear. Spend your $500 to have James Mott give you two days in the pool. Now you no how to practice. Then dive as much as you can while saving for the gear and training that will lead to your goals. PS: Anytime anyone from UTD says anything about deco theory, put ear...

    Question What is one of your favorite pieces of gear, and why?

    Recently did 5 hours on OC. I'm thinking the silence of my rebreather is really nice.

    To Nerd (or not)

    The depth sensor issue is real, but Shearwater covers it. I think my dive team has taken divetronics loaners on three separate trips due to failed sensors. I now run a standalone Perdix, Petrel, and Nerd 2 because of it. All that and I hate diving without it. It does still work a a hud when...

    Question High Altitude Athletes.... Less efficient at depth?

    I've theorized about smokers having reduced CO2 sensitivity. But I think there are other factors. Most smoking divers with great SAC rates I run into are from a generation when smoking was more acceptable and therefore have been diving a very long time. None smoking divers with similar...

    Mike goes through the new Dive Talk Go

    I think I'm going to retrofit my Sidewinder to SMB connectors. The new cell is working as promised. I believe any deviation measured is within the tolerance of my test equipment. Edit typo and removed redundant chart. Also, the dotted line is calculated linearity.

    Mike goes through the new Dive Talk Go

    Six weeks of waiting and I get a cell that won't go in my unit. I don't really consider needing an adapter a like for like swap. Plus I've had more cable/connector failures than cell failures, so adding more wires does not thrill me. I figure my options are try to sell this to you yahoos, or...

    Continue or stop diving with a PFO?

    @Macfod this was a surprisingly easy procedure. I was fully awake and joking with the doc while watching him poke around in my heart. I had similar symptoms to yourself, with 5 total overt cases and probably hundreds of subclinical cases. I have had no overt or subclinical DCS symptoms since...

    New (late 2023) PADI Tec Diver Program vs. TDI

    I was recently told they made the tech "IDC?" quite rigorous, but haven't removed the self certification path, so it's moot.
