You’re going to want a wifi access point (not range extender!) connected to the Nanostation on the far side. Configuring it to work with the existing Windstream router is going to be the slightly hard part, but definitely doable. I like Ubiquiti equipment, so I’d put something like the U-6...

Interesting context on this topic (T1 in CCR) from InDepth today:

Adding Average Depth (available in Gauge mode) to literally any field in Single or Multi-gas mode is what I’d love. At the moment, you have to pick between diving in computer mode, or being able to access Average Depth for ratio deco on-the-fly.

Question as a current Mk2i owner - are there any changes to the user-programmable dive fields in single gas/multi-gas dive mode? One of my only complaints about the Mk2i is that you can't add some fields (average depth!) to the customizable screens.

Are there any better pictures of the attachment point on the back of the light? I'd like to try attaching one to a hard Goodman handle...it could make for an incredibly compact backup primary light/travel primary light, if it could be rigged up with a hard Goodman handle.

Thread on it is here - I’m still not 100% happy with the design, so I haven’t got around to putting it on Thingiverse, but I’ll share the Fusion360 files if anyone wants.

For backup lights, mechanical rotary switch. For primary (non-video) lights, a locking push button switch works well. Your non-locking switch - even with the software lockout - accidentally turned on so many times that I had to design a guard for it.

I have a few (I think 4 total?) yoke kit take-offs from Apeks regulators that I've converted to DIN. All used to some extent, but generally still in excellent condition. If anyone could use them, I'll let them go for cost of shipping from Canada (likely somewhere around $20-30 to the US?) + a...

Looking at my dive computer - my average dive on the Spiegel Grove has been ~40 mins, max depth 30-35m. I’ve done 6 or 7 2-tank visits to the SG with Horizon, and never felt limited on dive time - and that’s with either single 100s or double 80s. FWIW, if you really want to crank the max dive...

No, just checking - out by Race for some of those, or around Sidney. I think it depends a lot on which way the current is going at dive time. But yes, let’s go for a dive!

I somewhat disagree with this - fairly consistently, the coldest water temperature I see is ~4C at depth in the Strait of Georgia during late winter/early spring, or a little warmer (6-7C) in the Saanich inlet. I just pulled this data with the min temperature per month from my dives around the...

You're very correct. I assumed that (like scuba tanks) the pressure written on the cylinder was the working pressure, not test pressure! At 170 bar, it's not really useful for anything except rinsing regulators...

Scaleo-heat is the controller I think you're referring to. It looks like it's out of stock and being replaced with a new version, which is internal to the suit.

They do, but we’ve acquired a lot of extra cylinders, when someone is selling/giving away a machine/plastic bottles, they often seem to want to give away the cylinders as well. We have something like 8 or 9 spare in a cupboard, I doubt my partner would miss one or two. Cheaper than an AL6 anyway!

Due to my partner’s Sodastream habit, I find myself with access to a lot of functionally free, within-hydro Sodastream cylinders. They’re a little longer and thinner than the typical AL6, with a service pressure of 250 bar and an internal volume of 0.6ish litres, giving them ~5 cubic feet of...

I’d be interested in other people’s opinion, but I wonder if it could have been something obstructing the lever, which was knocked loose by turning the Venturi knob. Even a piece of debris in the housing? In theory, high cracking pressure + low gas flow would point towards a problem with the...

Here’s a diagnostic question: was it a lot of effort to get any gas to come out? Or was it easy to start the flow of gas, but the volume was not sufficient?

Unscrew the reg from the end of the Airbuddy hose. Screw this into the end. Screw this into that. Attach a regulator and an inflator hose to the Y block. Attach the Airbuddy reg to the end hose, and the inflator hose to your BC. Try not to die! Again, for the record, I think freediving would be...

Yeah, that’s my understanding. Seems like a neat idea, and would have a lot of benefits of putting the counterlungs and ADV right next to each other. Actuating the switch to go between OC and CC might be a little difficult in backmount I’m guessing? But seems (to my inexperienced eyes) to be a...

FWIW, I find that freediving in my freediving suit ($400) is warmer than scuba diving in my drysuit + undersuit ($5k+) in 5C water. For what you’re describing, I think freediving is legitimately the answer. With a tiny bit of training, you’ll be able to spend 2+ minutes at 15+ meters - and in...
