Crashes when I attempt to create account.

By far the best BCD cargo pockets I have used are on the Aqualung Dimension. The hip belt and pockets on the Dimension are mounted lower than most other BCDs so are easy to access. Not jammed under your armpits like most BCD pockets. And since it is back inflate, inflating the BCD on the surface...

In addition he must also have completed Divemaster which requires an additional deep dive scenario or PADI Deep Diver certification. Both require a slow controlled ascent monitoring the ascent rate. Although PADI just specifies “deep” for this I think it is generally taken to be “deeper than...

I’d consider doing the theory and pool work at home then just the ocean dives on vacation. Much easier to find an instructor good with kids at home without time constraints. I’ve only taught a dozen or so of 10-14 year olds, but have found the pool sessions the most important for them and...

The Eon does not lock up for a missed safety stop. When set to Buhlmann the Eon will not lock up at all. It does lock up if you miss over 4 minutes of a deco stop in RGBM mode. I never plan to do that. If an emergency forces me to, I’ll take a day or more off. Although the algorithm will...

I own an Eon core and have used a Peregrine. Both have great, easy to read displays. Both have large buttons easy to use with gloves underwater. Eon display layout is more customizable. And I find it more “tasteful” the Peregrine looks more “Industrial” - your opinion may vary. Peregrine can...

The students I have taught that got the most out of the course were the ones that really came to learn. I taught a movie stunt coordinator who was going to be shooting a movie with a few underwater scenes. Most serious student I’ve ever had. We triple reviewed the plan and contingencies for...

Instead of adding weight, try to move some around sticking with the same total. You mention sidemount, so it won’t be exactly the same, but for my back mount students I’ll move a couple of pounds from their weight belt to the BCD integrated weight pockets which are a bit higher, then to the...

Just tried to search on their site using the links above for a dive store in Canada, US, United Kingdom, Vietnam. No results for any of them on one link and not found on the other.

@Jonnyola87 Thanks for the detailed write up. It helps us all to learn from. Glad it appears you are mostly OK and hopefully improving. Could you add a bit more detail: what was the computer you were using, and at what settings for GF or conservativeness?

If they fit, Yes. Especially since at that age they won’t need a larger blade to propel Scubapro gear. On the difference between Go Sport and Go Travel - the Sport has a bigger blade and much larger foot pocket and is designed to be worn with boots. The travel foot pocket is smaller and fits...

Scubapro Go Travel. Love these fins. Easy to frog or back kick with. Not full foot but designed to be worn without a boot. I’ve done over 150 dives in mine and no issues. They may not be as good for divers with smaller feet since the blade size shrinks very rapidly as the sizes go down to...

I’m a PADI instructor. 2 hours in the pool seems insufficient to me. Standard classes at my shop are 5 separate pool sessions. Each is about 2.5 hours total with 1 hour of that in the water and the rest spent on review, pre-session briefing, gear setup, buddy checks etc. The pool time is...

Neither link above is working for me. Instead of seeking out a particular agency, why not just find an instructor in any agency that will teach this way? I’m a PADI instructor and teach everything neutral. My students are told to not touch the bottom unless I specifically ask them to, which is...

My wife is not a diver, so I’ve dove at with at least 15 different shops around the world without a buddy and always had good experiences. Some favourites are below. But if you want a dive focused trip I’d suggest a liveaboard. I loved the Infiniti in the Philippines. Philippines Liveaboard...

You could try using Suuntolink to upgrade to the latest firmware version. Probably won’t work, but worth a shot. Also try a different charging cable. My original cable eventually wore out and caused errors when connected. A new cable corrected that.

https://mailchi.mp/shearwater/tern_terntx_product_bulletin-250808 TLDR Current Tern firmware is calculating for nitrox when set to air. Fix coming April 14. Workaround is to set to Nitrox mode at 21%

Load both into MacDive or Subsurface and either of these software packages will convert for you. Assuming you have the correct tank sizes loaded.

I guide certified divers without their own computers fairly regularly, and in cold water too. I am very conservative on these dives, with a max depth of 60 feet / 18 metres, maximum 4 divers (plus me) and sites with little to no current. We stay in a group and go very slow with frequent psi...

Why couldn’t a group of instructors, apparently already in the water, skip past the slow students and descend ahead of them? Surely instructors wouldn’t need to descend with a hand on the mooring line at all times to stay together, even in a current? I’m missing the issue here. I’ve often...
