    Failed setting saveo 1D

    Wow I am frustrated with this computer. So I am trying to update a couple of the PO2 settings on my computer. Frustrating thing is that when I try and write settings I get an error that just states error. I can read the settings and I can read the dive data with no issues so I am not sure...

    Any tips for bad hips?

    I have a little waggon that I pull to take everything down to the beach. I prep the gear and then use a bike lock to lock up the little wagon. Makes it far easier on my shoulder. If kicking gives you a hard time you can get one of the cool scooters to pull you around under water. More...

    Cozumel Dive Op Recommendations

    My wife and I used dressel and found them to be an excellent shop. The boat staff were very helpfull and they tend to group like skilled divers together to make it a better experiance for all involved. Take your gear back to your room if it is not rental. There are ants and other bugs all...

    Buddy skipped safety stop

    If my buddy just took off on me while I was in the water it would likely be the last time I dove with them. That or I would ream their ass out as soon as I got out of the water even if it does make me look like a jerk. Even as an experianced diver people can run into difficulties, get...

    First Post, Equipment Questions

    If it were me I would rent a bunch before I bought, with the exception of a great fitting mask and possibly boots and fins. The mask I would NEVER buy online as you need to have one that fits the features of your face. Matthew

    If I am diving a dry suit not all my wieght is easily removed. Then if you pop a drysuit seal and or loose suit boyancy you want to make sure that you can float ALL + a few pounds extra all your non dumpable weight. For me that is my 25lbs of non dumpable + 3 lbs of gear + 5 lbs extra for...

    Newbie with newbie gear questions

    You will love the excursion. I am in the pool all the time with mine, and I just insure that I rinse it well with the local hose afterward. Usually most pools will let you use theirs. Or you can just take it with you down into the shower and shower with all your gear on and take it off piece...

    Bouyancy Control. BCD vs Drysuit or both?

    I find only putting in enough to prevent the squeeze is best for me. 1) it prevents task overload trying to control 2 different buoyancy systems. 2) as stated the bubble is smaller in the suit and extra air is confined and therefore easier to manage and counter weight. 3) I do NOT want...

    purchase question?

    I tried the Aeris and while nice it just felt too -cheap. I mean it worked fine and all but some of the comfort, freedom of motion etc... was not there. Also lacked metal d-rings. Having a bad shoulder as well, I found that the shoulder padding was not great especially if you have to pack...

    Difference between WW and CW gear?

    Typically cold water gear has more flotation due to the increased weight that is carried becausue of more boyant thermal protection. Also in cold water gear you will need sufficent d-ring etc... to hang gear off or attach safety lines etc.... If all the diving that you will be doing will...

    Diving with one arm

    I had my one arm from the shoulder down tore apart to deal with cancer a while back. While I still have use of the hand, mobility of the shoulder is a problem. Really I found diving SUPER helpful as it gave me a weightless environment to do physio in, not to mention was a welcome...

    Unusual challenge. Significant weight loss with diving as goal.

    I have lost probably 50ish lbs over the last 3 or 4 years, and my wife even more by both diving and changing our lifestyle in stages. First and foremost, go talk with your dr. or one that specializes in weight issues. They found a thyroid issue with my wife when they looked at her that...
