Not free - but for Mac and iPhone MacDive is excellent and quite cheap. A one time fee, no subscription. mac-dive.com

Why do you hate Jacket Style BCDs? Are you sure that a BP/W will solve the things you hate about Jacket Style BCDs? If its all the pockets and floatation on the front that get in the way you hate the BP/W can be of benefit. BP/W also might be better at keeping you trim, but only when it has...

I also just looked at the Bare drysuit manual. It does not mention any predive checks at all but does have this helpful? information: D) VALVE CARE Both valves should be checked/serviced annually by a SI TECH/ APEKS approved service center. VALVES PROBLEM: WET ARM(S), CHEST AND SHOULDER...

Good fit is sometimes possible off the rack. All my measurement are pretty much in the middle of the range for Bare size Large Tall and it fits great. (Its's not the suit in my profile photo - that was an ill fitting rental) If getting custom, get someone to help you with measurements and...

A couple of comments on "Locks" Suunto low battery "lock"- this does not happen mid-dive, only lasts until you charge the battery above the minimum to start a dive Locking for missed deco stops. Personally I think this is a good thing if done post dive. To my knowledge no experimental research...

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm set. One more thing - well two more, one for each valve - to add to my pre dive routine. Along with checking that my Aqua-Lung "Sure-Loss" weight pockets are secure 5 times each.

I loved this line! Outstanding writing skills!

I disagree. Scuba equipment service should live up to the same level as car service. How many check that the nuts on your car's wheels are tight after taking it in for brake service? Since "It is part of basic training", can you provide an excerpt from any of the major agencies text books on...

This can now be done on the Suunto App on your phone or tablet (as of firmware v3.00 released March 2022 ) The Suunto app is vastly easier to install and use than DM5.

It just happened to me. Sent my drysuit in to Bare (via my LDS) to get a quickneck and new boots installed. First dive afterwards I descended to 8 m, went to adjust my dump valve and it came unscrewed in my hand. The inner portion slid over a bit so I couldn't get it rethreaded and tightened at...

Under Device settings > Tones you can set All off , which will silence all alarms as well. The alarms will still appear on screen. Or wear a thick hood. I can only hear mine with the hood off. :cool:

Assuming you see this post - Not anymore :-) Love my Eon Core. The user interface is well thought out and no need to resort to the manual to change settings as it is so easy to figure out. 400 dives on mine with no issues. Side by side on a dive (cold greenish water) this week I thought the...

Here's the formula bring back ancient (for me) memories of high school science :cool: Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT P=Pressure V=Volume n= amount of gas R= ideal gas constant (or fudge factor) T= temperature Google ideal gas law, Charles's Law and Boyle's law for lots of background and examples if...

Besides the algorithm, you also need to consider how conservative the computer is set. What model of Cressi do you have, and what is it set to? I believe Cressi calls this setting the "Safety Factor" where the default SF0 is least conservative and SF2 is most conservative. I often dive with 2...

snuuuug is much warmer than loooose

I dive mostly in cold / green / dark waters near Vancouver and have used a Light and Motion Sola 800 for over 400 dives. Wide/Narrow beams and 3 brightness levels. Works great for me. Carrying a light on all dives, even in the tropics in the day, lets you find lots more critters tucked back in...

I've never needed more than hands and a light to get another diver's attention. I've never carried a noisemaker for underwater. Sometimes I've resorted to a tap on the shoulder or tug on the fin.

Since Stainless Steel is less dense than lead, changing from lead weights to a SS backplate means you need more total weight for the same buoyancy - everything else being equal...

I love my Fourth Element Proteus II. It is fully lined and had very good seals at wrists, ankles and especially the neck. The design puts an extra layer under the zipper. The least water flow through I've had in a wetsuit. Pee at the start of the dive and it will still be there at the end! It...

I wear 11.5 shoes and the Go travel XL fit perfect for me.
