There's a quote in that article: She obviously didn't consider what happens when the hobby you choose fuels your shopping addiction :cool:

It was over a decade since I was on SoF, but I doubt the type of aircraft used now will be much different. Here's a couple of pictures. You make your own mind on how strict they are with luggage :) They weighed all the bags and carefully distributed all bags within the cargo hold and told all...

I'll also weigh in as a long time software developer, product owner and and IT director, as well as opensource contributor, supporter and aficionado. It is one thing to hook into an website backend API. It is an entirely different beast to build a distributable app to to do it. Especially as a...

I can't speak for the iOS version, but on Android there is are "Prev DC" and "Next DC" buttons just below the profile graph that cycle through the profiles as recorded by each computer.

Mornington Pier is OK. Both Rye and Blairgowrie are more often than not better dives than Mornington though.

There's some great shore diving on the peninsula, and getting on a charter from Portsea will get you to many great dive sites. As @Seepferdchencam suggested, finding a local club would be helpful to get acquainted with the sites - Rye Pier, Blairgowrie Yacht Club and Flinders Pier are the most...

@DiveVenture I've had a little play with your app, and it's great for a first public cut! Already more polished than I was expecting. Similar to @NothingClever 's comments though, I think the pie chart leaves a little to be desired. And as a little aside, IMO (qualified through my experience as...

Personally not a big fan. I'd rather measure straight off the valve especially when analysing multiple tanks. I don't really fancy having to attach/remove a first stage every time I want to analyse a tank.

Great find! I think I'll need to add that to my project!

The datasheet is a little unclear. It does mention a 20 minute warm up time in the user guide, but on the spec page it states "The first power-on under storage in clean air <120 seconds"

Yes, definitely! I was looking at various CO sensors, but to find one that is readily available, sensitive enough for breathing air analysis, factory calibrated and reasonably priced is not easy. Most CO sensors are geared toward HVAC type testing and have a detection range of 0-1000ppm +/- up...

On that note you should probably also avoid buying a new car or bicycle. Or groceries for that matter. The Ratio transmitter is €400 A quick Google tells me a Shearwater transmitter is US$400, a Garmin one US$500 Suunto runs cheaper at around US$320 * Disclaimer: This was a cursory search...

Nothing wrong with mixing and matching what you've got there - might be pain come service time if your local shop doesn't usually deal with all three brands, service kit availability for all three brands may be an inconvenience.

There is an extremely good reason not to track tissue loading in gauge mode - because the dive computer doesn't know what gases you are diving through out the dive. Especially if you're diving multiple gases, if you expect the computer to track gas loading, you'll need to do the gas switches on...

There are a lot of people seeing this transmitter inconsistency, myself included - albeit not as bad as some others have seen. Keep sending these to support. They do listen. I also had a similar button issue with my iX3M. A couple of the buttons felt "spongy". They didn't give that nice...

Its really comes down to why the feature is there. With a GPS, there would be very few reasons, if any, to operate with a database that is out of date. It's not like its a feature that you can choose to use either current or an out-of-date database. Gauge mode is a little bit different. There...

You are still taking a conservative approach. Is someone has done a dive with their computer in gauge, who is to say that they stayed within NDL limits? Who is to say that they didn't violate a deco stop? In gauge mode, the computer is being told not to track dive and deco parameters, so it...

You have taken almost the most conservative "aggressive" example possible in order to (try) and prove a point. If someone has done multiple dives with "normal" dive holiday surface intervals, your example all of a sudden looks much more conservative by comparison.

I wouldn't really call that an aggressive multi-dive profile. I'd actually say it's quite conservative. The first dive is within NDL, and a 12 hr surface interval is very conservative. The OP was on a dive trip, which quite likely could have been 3 or even 4 dives in a day. What if they did two...

Hmm, let's take a look at the manual. Page 3: It is a safety feature. In gauge mode the Mk2i, and every other computer out there (as far as I am aware) does not track your nitrogen loading. So if it allowed you to go back into a dive mode straight after a dive in gauge mode, it has no idea...
