    What piece(s) of dive gear do you collect too many of?

    Other. All of the above plus more. Except boltsnaps. Can't ever have too many boltsnaps. Other than exposure suits, I think I have enough for at least 6 full sets of gear. Regs, BCs/wings, tanks, masks, fins, lights, miscellaneous spares in the toolbox. But never seem to have just the right...

    2.4 GHz WLAN interferes with pressure transmitter

    Well I guess even through some strange electromagnetical phenomena your wifi signal is actually interfering with your Suunto transmitter, it's only really a problem I guess if you're taking your router diving with you ...

    Ratio Dive Computers Announces New iX3M 2!! Our Best Dive Computer yet!

    Damn them! I'm not ready to relegate my iX3M2 just yet!! I wonder if they're going to offer a trade-up program? My Descent Mk2i has been relegated to backup after getting my iX3M2 - it's most useful feature is the GPS.

    Adding digital output sensors - what hardware do I need?

    I have a Bauer Oceanus that I want to add some monitoring / control circuitry around it. Half for my interest and "because I can", half to add a nitrox stick. I'm all over the electronic side, but seeking some input mainly on hardware. Want to put pressure and gas sensors on the output, and a...

    Question gopro hero 3 and back screen

    Hero 9,10 or 11 are chalk and cheese compared to a H3. I wouldn't bother with a H3 these days.

    What's up with all the Finger Walking?

    Not really an excuse. It's not hard for an experienced diver to maintain neutral buoyancy on descent while carrying a bit of extra weight

    Beqa versus Taveuni in Fiji

    I was in Fiji last year (as per my post in the thread linked in @ColoDale's post. There is definitely better diving in the world than what Fiji has to offer, but traveling from Melb or Syd, it's easy and cheap, and is a great place to visit. I cannot speak highly enough of the resort, staff...

    Is it possible to haul a single cylinder worth of scuba gear, suit included on a motorcycle. If so, has anyone ever done this?

    When I went to Bali the locals were carting around 6-7 cylinders on their mopeds. Does that count?

    Fiji in 2024 suggestions needed

    Both Q and G are pronounced like 'ng', with the Q being a harder sound with more emphasis on the G (like "mango") and the G being a softer sound like "-ing". Also the B is pronounced with a short preceding "m" sound. So Beqa Lagoon is "m-beng-ga Lagoon" The D like in the capital, Nadi, is more...

    Fiji in 2024 suggestions needed

    I can highly recommend Beqa Lagoon Resort. I did a week there in June 2022. A new resort manager was only about 2 months into the job, and a new dive manager (who has been diving in the region for years) had also just started, and both were already making some positive impact. It's a small...

    If I dive at 150ft+/45m+ in water temps in 35f/-1c can I get away with a cheap $100 Xs octopus. Or should my octopus also be balanced at that depth

    You're a new diver. These aren't the sort of questions you need to be asking right now. You are asking about saving a couple of hundred bucks. By the time you get to the experience and training required to do those sorts of dives, one regulator will feel like a drop in the ocean. At last count...

    Ratio Dive Computers Announces New iX3M 2!! Our Best Dive Computer yet!

    Yes, it already supports iX3M2 for USB download, but from what I can tell not Bluetooth. This is probably something to take to the Subsurface mailing list. I've managed to connect BT and download from my iX3M2 Pro on my Android. Selected iX3M Pro Easy, was asked to pair (used its serial # as a...

    Ratio Dive Computers Announces New iX3M 2!! Our Best Dive Computer yet!

    I just came back from a week of rec diving using my iXM2 Pro. Had used it on two shallow shore dives before the trip. and then 2 dives per day for 5 days. Most dives between 20m and 30m, with one to 40m, and all dives around 50-70 mins duration. Overall very happy with it. I started the trip...

    GoPro Horizon Lock?

    On my Hero 10 I keep the horizon lock turned on to great effect. It does a great job of smooth out the video.

    Newbie with photo editing question

    I've tried Darktable a few times, but keep going back to Lightroom. From my experience, there is nothing that Darktable can do better than Lightroom. But there are things that Lightroom does better than Darktable, and its also easier to use. As @Ryan Neely said - you get a monthly Adobe...

    There's a number of good dive specialist travel agents in Australia. Allways Dive Expeditions, Dive Adventures, Diversion Dive Travel. It'd be worth a call and speaking to them as they'll usually have very good insight to what will suit your individual diving and destination preferences. Do you...
