That is truly sad and shocking. Rye Pier is one of my favourite dive sites, often spending well over an hour taking photos of octopus, rays, nudibranchs, sea horses and countless other species. It's a very popular diving, fishing and beach going spot. With such great weather today, there would...

I've thought of this too, but for the workbench for bubble testing a first stage after service - very convenient to submerge. Alas its the test pressure, not working pressure that is 250bar. And I'm not really that keen on putting my own valve on it an regularly filling myself to 170bar. I'm...

It is quite normal for SPGs to be out by a few bars. And 10 bars is not something I'd worry about too much. That's the difference in pressure drop you'll see between taking your tank from a hot car and jumping into cool water. If the damage you mention is more than superficial cosmetic damage...

I haven't dived with it on PSI, but be chbtest dhoes it reads 3683 which converts 254 bar after rounding down

I've recently hooked my Ratio iX3M2 transmitter onto my twin 7L (300bar) tanks, and have noticed that the pressure reading shows a maximum of 254bar. It'll read 254 bar until the pressure drops below that, and then it decreases in line with my SPG. I've submitted a support ticket, but got a...

In specific reference to the original question: Is it legal? As with most aspects of diving, there's not much (if anything) in any country's laws in specific reference to diving. Is it "ok or whatever". Interpreted as, "is it responsible". Then no, it is most certainly not responsible.

My first camera housing I bought I dropped a heap of cash on all the electronics that I needed for TTL. After trying it out for a few dives and comparing with manual, I've only ever shot manual since.

Did you attach the SPG hose yourself? If so, and it's not something you've done a lot before there are a few common mistakes that you may have made. Number one, as you suggested, is overtightening it. The oring is what makes the seal, and really only needs to be hand tightened then snubbed no...

Some of the wetpixel members are working on a backup option if wetpixel continues to stagnate. Migrating a forum community to a new site is not an easy task, especially when the circumstances mean leaving years of posts behind. Hopefully if it does come to that, the more active wetpixel users...

With a detection range of 400-5000ppm it's safe to say that if it detects CO2 you've got yourself a bad fill.

A rechargeable CR123 is probably 3.7V compared to the non-rechargeable 3.0V. That's more than a 20% increase in voltage. There are three possible outcomes: 1. The T1 has a voltage regulator and will drop the 3.7V to 3.0V. It is not designed to use rechargeable CR123 batteries, so this is...

The Garmin spool is specfic to the Garmin transmitter. One end of it is the standard spool diameter, which is the side that fits into the universal HP hose connector. The other end is a wider diameter and fits into the Garmin transmitter.

The idea of turning the glass away from you when turn the cylinder on is if there is a failure in the inner mechanism, and there is a leak into the housing of the SPG, then yes, the whole casing will be filled with HP air, and the most fragile part will give way first. If this is the glass...

That's no different to an analog SPG (or any other gauge for that matter). The SPG casing is only subject to ambient pressure, it's only the Bourdon tube inside that is subject to high pressure. In your transmitter there will be an electronic part similar to this: This metal casing is...

After having a dodgy mess of wires for my vacuum control, I finally got around to designing and printing a case for it.

Slight side effect with this, is that if you download dives this way, and then download using the "proper" model via USB, Subsurface will store the profile twice against the same dive as it thinks its the same dive from two different computers.

Who uses a phone to ring people these days?

I stayed 7 nights at Beqa Lagoon Resort June 22, and cannot fault it. But granted it may not be for everyone. Their dive schedule is pretty much two dives a day, back at the resort for lunch and however you want to spend the rest of the afternoon / evening. It worked well for me an my partner...

It's about a 3hr drive from Nadi to Pacific Harbour. If you're staying at Beqa Lagoon Resort, it's a 45 minute boat trip from Pacific Harbour to the resort [Edit: Correct transfer time]

If you plug it into your PC can you configure it with Ratio Toolkit? That'll confirm that all the eletronics are working. When charging, the blue LED is on. When its fully charged the blue LED will turn off. When put on a tank and opened up, it should do the startup LED sequence and then start...
