    Search for four missing Divers off coast of North Carolina

    It's designed so that the buttons are covered by the hard plastic base of the antenna (when stowed)

    Search for four missing Divers off coast of North Carolina

    Good news indeed. Found by a strobe? Nice. What sort of strobe are you all carrying? I vacuum bagged an ACR PLB, model 2881 which has a built-in strobe. I've only had it in the pool so far, to 11-12 ft, no issues noted. We'll see what happens at depth lol. Also have a signal mirror...

    Teaching Dive Tables (including Nitrox)

    My recent ReActivate course included a refresher on using dive table calculations. I find it a very good idea, even if only used to illustrate what a dive computer is doing, real-time continuous loop calculation of a dive table. -

    Replace my Mares Raptor split fins

    My LDS was able to let me try the following today in the pool: Fourth Element Tech Fins Atomic Split Fins Someone working on their DM let me try their Seawing Nova Fins. I tried backkick with all the fins but clearly I need much more practice with that, compared to heli, so no real feedback...

    Water in GoPro dive housing to deal with heat

    I I‘ve tried it in the sink and it uses full battery, 61min, no overheat. Instead of having an insulating layer of air between the unit and the surrounding water/ocean the inner water transfers heat more effectively. But even a small air gap can get most of itself stuck in lens area and then...

    Water in GoPro dive housing to deal with heat

    I’ve got three Enduro batteries and they all cut off for overheat. Sitting in water, in a dry dive housing, was the longest run time, 51 minutes. Sitting in air, naked or in dive housing, were both 28ish minutes. I’ve gone thru the settings, to leave the minimum, 4k60, everything else off...

    Water in GoPro dive housing to deal with heat

    Has anyone done this? I’m considering doing this, about 95% full, to help with heat transfer to the surrounding ocean. Ninety five percent full, to leave a compressible bubble, since the ocean will compress the dive housing a bit. Don’t want water pressure to push those buttons inside lol...

    Tech Shorts Recommendations

    I was curious about glue on as well. Does one put on their wetsuit and position the pocket? Taking into account the curve around the leg? (Mark With chalk or something) I’ve been thinking between: Belt mounted vertical pocket Vertical pocket hanging a couple of inches down from belt (and...

    GoPro 11 Settings

    Very tempted by the Hero 11. I used to be tempted by the Mini Hero 11, until I discovered it has no spot meter / exposure control. Even the Session cameras had exposure control. Spot meter specifically, which I like best. Also because you could set-and-forget and not mess with having to set...

    GoPro 11 Settings

    I found the Backscatter red filter functional to about 25ft. After that it was more of a hindrance in collecting any light. Just another layer. I never did video lights but imagine that once you add white light (any depth) then a color filter isn’t needed anyway.

    Cressi Leonardo or Aqualung i470TC ?

    How about the Scubapro Mantis 2 (M2) ? Though it seems impossible to find one …. -

    Replace my Mares Raptor split fins

    I’m liking the boot/open heel format and leaning toward the Scubapro Seawing Nova or the Mares Avanti Quattro. I‘m comfortable with various techniques but I suspect the the split fin just doesn’t provide the feedback I seem to prefer. My experience with the Nova is only in the follow; my OW...

    Mask recommendations

    Best to try them on at the LDS. Push it against your face. The ones that stick are the ones to choose from. Something I didn’t expect when doing this two weeks ago was the XS Scuba Gauge Reader mask. ”What’s this?” [tries it on, sticks to face easily] [reads watch easily] [sees distance...

    Any recommendations on products that keep your regulator stages and octopus safe. Like a storage box maybe?

    I use a Canon camera bag lol. Lightly padded and large enough to casually roll up the reg/octopus/spg/lp hose

    No Yellow Fins??

    Something about the small, bright contrast (compared to the background) that sharks pick up on. On a snorkel trip that involved sharks they told us to keep our hands on the trailing rope, the idea being that would keep our ‘bright’ palms closed.

    Cressi Leonardo or Aqualung i470TC ?

    The catch with the Peregrine (at its price level) is that it can’t grow into AI with the later addition of a transmitter.
