If you are exceeding the rated depth(390'/120 m) and using a sport computer to do it, you have bigger problems than a flooded computer.

I bought my Peregrine specifically because of flooding. Peregrines have induction chargers. Rather than opening the battery charger or a port. I put the computer on my desk light, which a built in induction charger. You can't flood a something you never have to open. I had to replace a...

Most people buy a new car because they want one, not need one. I dove the same computer for ten years and it was probably ten years old when I got it. It did everything I wanted until it started glitching and I replaced it. I was never in a dive situation with it where a complete failure of...

I just assumed he misspoke. Not a huge deal. Once he realized he was using the wrong weight measure the site gave him the correct weight and unit.

I think he meant it gave him 10 kilos and he thought it was wrong until he had it calculated in pounds (22lbs). I've used it and found it fairly accurate. I will usually get you within spitting distance of correct. YMMV much better to start from it's suggestion than from scratch.

The safety stop is a pretty low priority in an emergency. In the absence of other information, I would skip it. If the distressed diver is going to pass out, it is better to do it on the surface. If they are breathing contaminated air, they are better off on the surface, dumping weights, blow...

There are filters that will fit, but I haven't had much luck, but I haven't tried super hard, either.

When filming a dive, spend a lot of time and focus on keeping the camera still. You can get rid of some of the shake with software in the camera or in the editing process, but getting a smooth tracking of a diver or a fish takes lots of practice. Most cameras have a raw recording mode where...

I've been using the SJCams for years. Very inexpensive, easy to use. I have an SJ 4000 and a 5000. Both are darn near indestructible. I haven't found filter that work for them, though. This is from the SJ5000

This is not a dive shop. He isn't selling charters. Someone read what you WROTE and interpreted it. They WROTE a response which you Interpreted. It wasn't a conversation like in a shop. He doesn't know you from Adam and I have no idea about the writing or reading skills of either person...

I thought your getting bent out of shape was uncalled for. I had the same reaction, shore diving can be much more taxing than a boat dive. Someone gave you a thoughtful reply and you got on their case about it. You can just say thank you and ignore it. I took a little more time to explain...

For CT the best options are Jamestown, RI (FT Wetherill) or Newport. If you don't mind shallow, Stonington Point is okay for a novice. Orbit Marine runs charters in the Bridgeport area. Generally, the Long Island Sound is low visibility and most people try to head up into RI. Another...

I took my daughter to LDBS last summer for some diving. We dove at the snorkel trail several times, entering just south of the Pier. Most of the time the entry and exit were fine. We did a night dive and there was a ripping long shore current. By the time we called the dive, we had a pretty...

I would have bought this if it was available when I bought mine. The compass would have been nice. It was the one thing I wanted that the OG didn’t

He was making a shore dive to 25m (planned depth) without a computer? That would have been a huge red flag. I can seen not having a DC and doing a shore dive with a hard bottom at, say, 15 or 20m, but that he could get down to 30 or 40m without a measure of time, depth or deco is pretty scary.

I try to be on the surface with about 750 rock bottom. That will give me gas to inflate my BCD, get squared for any surface swim and a little bit of emergency air if something comes up. I usually plan to exit with about 1000 psi.

I am 60 and hoping I am going to dive at least till 70. Last weekend, we screwed the pooch and ended up with a 300 yard surface swim in open water, full gear.

If they are integrated boots and the price it right, I would just do what others have said, insoles and socks. When buying something like a used drysuit, perfect is the enemy of the good. Boots that are too tight are worse than too big.

The Strava premium makes time stamps. I haven't really worried about time stamping locations (I am a cheap bastard). In the subscription version, I am pretty sure you can. I am not using it for much other than diving and the occasional bike ride. Strava, without a cell phone connection will...
