    Question Suunto Eon Core - Tank Pod Battery Replacement Kit?

    I don't believe Suunto sells these anymore, you need to send the Pod to Suunto for battery replacement. My LDS handled this for me.

    Moving air sound in wing

    I'm also usually feet heavy. A quick bend underwater putting my head and feet down and my butt up tends to move the (small) air bubble in my wing closer to my butt and puts me in fairly level trim. Sometimes I have to repeat after I've gone into a really head down position to observe a...

    Turks and Caicos or Carribean diving season in June?

    I dove T&C last June and has 12 great dives. Not too many large pelagics though, if that is what you are looking for. If you get a chance to do a night dive to see the glow worms bioluminescence definitely do that - it was amazing!

    EON Steel firmware update suggestions

    It is possible! It is shown on the third page of the dive's log entry on the Eon core or Steel- at least on version 3 of the firmware. Eon Logs Or my choice of software - MacDive on my iPhone. Downloads easily to the phone from the Eon via Bluetooth.

    Apple Watch Ultra and Oceanic+ App

    Was on a liveaboard last week where one of the divers was using the Applewatch Ultra + Oceanic for his Dive Computer. Mid week the computer decided to lock him out as "his license had expired" According to the diver he had a a 1 year license with many months left on it. We suspect the watch...

    Wetsuit you love!!!

    I love my Fourth Element Proteus II - but more importantly, the 2 females I know who have one also love theirs. We are 3 widely varying body shapes and all agree the suit fits as per the size chart, and is very well sealed with almost no water flow through it. The back and neck are a unique...

    Defining visibility

    One of my buddies just records visibility as emojis. Something like this from good to bad: :):wink::(:mad: In my local dives visibility often varies dramatically by depth or at different parts of the dive site. I had visibility of about 1 foot from 0 to 35 feet deep and visibility of about 80...

    Drysuit diving - continual issues with air in legs/feet.

    As I read this the OP has done 1 pool dive in a drysuit. I have a different recommendation than all the equipment changes listed above (ankle weights, different fins, gaiters, rubber weight belt etc) More Practice. Especially with an instructor helping. Everyone takes a while to get used to...

    Anyone using the X core vest by Fourth Element?

    I add mine on particularly cold days or when I have longer dives planned. It definitely adds warmth, I'm happy with it. It also needs 3 to 4 extra pounds of lead.

    What do you do when donating to a panicked diver who initiates a buoyant ascent?

    Do you have a reference link for more information on this? I've never heard of the epiglottis seizing closed before.

    How long?

    In the past I've always gotten my cards within a week or two here in Canada. When one didn't arrive within 4 weeks I used the Help > Contact Us form on Padi.com and got a quick reply and new card sent that arrived in a week. https://help.padi.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

    How do folks navigate buying scuba equipment?

    While supporting your LDS it never hurts to ask if they can offer you a deal. Gear prices are often fairly soft and can often be negotiated down a bit.

    I wore a jacket style BCD yesterday....

    It's been invented. A Drysuit! I too am foot heavy. On descent I do a few contortions to get the right amount of air in each foot and Voila! Perfect trim!

    What do you do when a fin goes away?

    While doing my dive master training I was assisting a class where a student had a fin strap snap at depth just after descent. The fin was really loose and wobbling without the strap, so I gave him one of my fins and completed the dive with one fin while carrying the broken fin. Did mostly a...

    Drysuit options

    I'd suggest the inflation valve comfort patch. My Bare drysuit has one (of a different design) and I really notice the cold inflation air come in when I manage to get it folded out of position. Also when I was considering a Seaskin I though the name patch would be really cool!

    Lessons What have you become entangled in?

    You just convinced me not to get a "Cargo Thigh Pocket" for my Scubapro Hydros. This sounds similar to the one you were using but with a single leg strap instead of 2.

    Lessons What have you become entangled in?

    Descending from a moored buoy, my buddy got his BCD oral inflation mouthpiece caught in one of the mooring chain links at about 5m depth. He couldn't see what was preventing him from ascending or descending and was a bit panicky. I had to give it a really good yank in just the right direction...

    Affordable Dive Computers

    Nice watch! However I don't think it falls into the cheap category. On amazon.ca I could get it or else 30 Casio dive watches for the same price.

    Affordable Dive Computers

    But I thought the watch and dive tables were for backup in case the cheap computer failed. For backup I'd need a depth gauge too.

    Affordable Dive Computers

    And how do I use those tables without knowing how deep my dive was? A depth gauge is needed as well, that might increase the total price to be very close to a cheap computer.
