    Peregrine

    I am looking for a new dive computer. In the past I had a Cochran Gemini AI but since it bit the dust (and the company closed) I need a new one. I like AI but it isn’t a must. I do need large face/letter computer (I’m 66 yo). I was looking at a Peregrine. The display is what I like and...

    Does anyone still give KISS Sport CCR instruction/ certification? I began a course some years back but didn’t finish. I have a rebreather and I’d like to finish what I started (getting certified). Thanks

    Wanted Sport Kiss Parts

    I have a working SPORT. It’s pretty much a stock unit w/aluminum box. I haven’t used it much (I took a class I never finished for different reasons) and just don’t see me ever using it. Let me know what you need to know. It’s dis-assembled and stored in a dive bag. The counter lungs, hoses...

    EAN/NITROX Dive and Macular Edema

    4 months ago I had cataract surgery and now being told I have macular edema in both eyes (swelling/fluid) likely caused by the trauma of the cataract surgery. I am planning a 130’ dive using EAN 28 and then 30. Is there any affects a dive this deep and w/EAN I should be wary of? I am also a type...

    02 cleaning cylinders question

    I was just at a dive shop that primarily caters to tech divers like cave or deep divers. My Rebreather O2 tank is up for a hydro and I asked about getting this done and an O2 cleaning and fill. The employee said they do O2 cleanings but it doesn’t do any good and is a waste of money but if I...

    SMB Usage

    what is the current school of thought on the SMB? When to deploy? Topside reaction when a SMB is seen? How many feet of line on the spool? Finger spool or ratchet reel? How many SMPs to carry? Thanks for all input?

    Rigging Bail Out Bottle

    Thank you for the replies. As I said in the course the bail out was a 13 cf. That seemed very small but for what we were doing (80 ft or less dives in open ocean) I guess that sufficed if just barely. The 40 cf is a minimum requirement for a specific purpose. I have seen short 40s or 50s mounted...

    Rigging Bail Out Bottle

    I dive with a KISS Sport and in and since the class used a 13 cf bail out mounted to the DIL. The valve is upright and the reg has a 2nd stage, button PG, and an inflator hose. I need to go to a larger bailout and was thinking of slinging a 40 cf tank on my left side but trying to determine how...

    Why the dislike of air integrated computers?

    I like having one less hose. I have an AI hose-less dive computer and I have had more trouble with the dive computer than the gas read out. I dive with a back up computer and carry an extra SPG in my dry bag. When I dive rebreather a SPG for O2, one for DIL, a power inflator (one for BCD and one...

    High 02 meter read out on KISS Sport

    During my predive check on my KISS Sport when I turned the meters all 3 read around 0.51. After several minutes of trying I could only tweek them to about 0.39. I removed the sensor pod and all 3 meters dropped to reading about 0.197 and I easily tweeked the read outs to 0.210 ish. When I put...

    Hall's Dive Center/Career Institue Recommendation?

    For years I have seen the ads for Hall's Dive Center/Career Institute. I went on a couple of boat trips with them and was very satisfied but has anyone ever attended one of the Career Institute courses? I am considering one or two of their course and wanted to see if anyone has any...

    Compass Navigation run on obtuse triangle

    I am looking at running a underwater compass course involving an obtuse angle. I know all the particulars (side lengths, angles) but I am trying to figure out how I would execute this course without all the knowns, a real live situation. Assuming I can accurately measure my swim distances and...

    Wings

    Being an old mossback diver I have used the old At Pac (with and without shell), the ScubaPro BCP, and ScubaPro Classic Jacket and similar equipment from other manufactures. I had a Jacket since they came out in the late 70s/80s and when mine was stolen in the mid 90s I replaced it in kind with...
