    Serious Dive Accident Cozumel June 21, 2016

    Today I heard that there was a serious dive accident yesterday off Cozumel Island. I was told that a diver made a giant stride and was sucked into a moving prop on the boat after hitting the water. I was not on the boat but was talking to some other divers. Can someone tell us if this really...

    I have heard that a lot of people in Florida are being laid off. I don't know the facts, I just heard this story today.

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    I was charging from the wall charger. I believe my firmware is V1.4/1 I tried unplugging it for a few minutes and trying again. That had no effect. I then left it unplugged for an hour. I reconnected it and all is well, charging resumed. I think this was the battery overheat safeguard that shut...

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    Does anyone know what this means? And is there a fix. My Cobalt Charged to 73% but now displays "Charge Stopped".

    Very nice. Thank-you. I thought I was probably the only person that wanted this.

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    ...but we've been waiting for a year for a fix! I'm not worrying; I'm just shaking my head in despair, and muttering things under my breath. My hoped for list goes beyond this long overdue software fix. I really wonder whether I am doing you and Atomic's great customer service people any...

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    Ron, Thank-you for this. I did swap buttons around to get some basic functionality. I borrow the buttons from the other Cobalt at the end of our dive trip. Michael.

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    I wonder if Ron (or anyone) has an answer for this one. I am in Utila for diving (ironically I am with an Atomic employee, also using a Cobalt). I can no longer turn on my Cobalt using the buttons. The metal part in the up button has corroded and the metal part in the button on the right button...

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    I did my first cenote dive with Ismael at Akumal Dive shop early in 2011. I think the "this year" reference is in the context of when they typed that into the website page. And so that in itself does not tell you which year he joined Akumal Dive Shop. Ismael knew the area cenotes well and I had...

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    I did not know ANY land owners were asking for any credentials. I was surprised to learn that Chikinha and Garden of Eden are asking. When I dive in the Pacific it is only the dive shop that asks, the same in the Caribbean. And so I did not think it was odd that it is only the dive shop that...

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    While I have not seen it myself, I was told (by a cave certified guide that has worked in the area for years) that it does happen a lot on guided dives.

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    Ismael was a cave certified diver. I don't know why he and the two tourists ended up outside the cavern area. Understanding that would probably shine a light on the cause of this tragedy.

    Statistics show that to be true. Come to Playa......dive the Cenotes (cavern dives), follow the best practices with a good guide (there are many great ones to choose from) and it is very safe diving.

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    Ismael was from Spain. I don't know about his Portuguese language skills. Myself and my friends in Playa chatted about that today. Even people that knew him well did not have an opinion on the Portuguese language skills. It came up and we left it merely as a question.

    Lets not start speculating about bad air. I know you say "If", but lets not go down that slippery slope. If there is some evidence then we should know. If not, then I don't think it helps to speculate.

    Three divers lose their lives at Chac Mool in Riviera Maya. 2 Brazillian, 1 Spaniard

    This is very sad news. Ismael took me on my very first cavern dive, last year. He did an excellent job, it was a super safe experience; and I'm a very conservative diver. I remember a skull and cross bones sign on our dive; and I'll never forget Ismael waiting and watching me carefully to make...

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    I have seen a similar problem. After a bit of effort I was able to download the dives again without the errors. My conclusion, if the profile on the Cobalt does not match what I see on my PC then I probably have some kind of data transfer anomaly and need to repeat the transfer. My erroneous...
