    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...

    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 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...

    Whiteboard

    Two questions: 1) If I am at say 60 ft. or deeper and I am using the strobe on my DC 1200, do I need to worry about setting manual whiteboard? I guess another way of saying this is if I set manual whiteboard and use ambient light but then shift to flash do I need to change whiteboard again? 2)...

    Dark Pictures for DC 1200

    I have used my DC1200 without the strobe (Camera Only Below 25ft)at depths and never had a problem. On my last trip in 65 ft of water, overcast skies, and using my DC1200 with a wide angle lense (a set up I have used many times before) every picture I took was extremely dark to the point of...

    Dive Boat tipping

    On a recent trip to Key Largo where I made several boat dives I wondered what amount is customary. On my Keys trip the boat crew loaded the tanks. They offered a keg of not very cold after taste water with paper cups. They also provided individual punch drinks. They kept us steady as we jumped...
