    New Dive Computer...

    Sooo, although I love my Atom 2.0...somehow the display has become blurry lately...as has every other smaller print item I seem to come across lately....

    OLED AI Dive compter opinions...or options that fit the need =)

    Hi all, I know many will say AI is rubbish and unneeded. I've been using wireless with the Atom 2.0 for 3+ years and love it....with the exception of the tiny display which I thought at the time I would love. Being a photo bug, I prefer to keep my eyes on what's going on around me and I've...

    Well, I finally decided after a few weeks of agonizing to go with the RX-100 and now I'm debating the housing...pros and cons? I'm guessing this has been covered, but I wasn't able to track it down. If you have a link, please post. Thanks, Jeff

    Ok, so a week ago my video camera went for a dive without me =( On the upside, my insurance covered it which leaves me a decent budget to work with.

    Planning a trip to Mexico for the end of October. My travel partner is fixated on Cozumel, but I keep hearing good things about Isla Mujeres. Here are the deciding factors for us; 1) Undersea life in October...the diving is the biggest influence for us. 2) Cost...gotta do this one on the...

    People selling dive trips

    I know this is the wrong place to post this...but I'm hoping someone will redirect me to the right place. I thought there used to be a place in the classifieds where people were selling last minute trips they couldn't go on for whatever reason. Has this been moved or removed? Essentially...

    Hello all, I've decided it's time for a change. With that said I'm looking to relocate to somewhere where the diving is fine (preferably year round) and I'm thinking it's the left coast. Knowing little of the diving there (other than a week spent between Long Beach and San Diego) I was...

    Dumbest question I have ever asked here....and that's saying something.

    I am the proud owner of a brandy new Atom 2.0. After going through the massive manual on it, I found nothing to indicate how to turn the thing on....I now know how to monitor someone elses gas supply, set the watch function, align with the phases of the moon, etc, etc, etc I flipped through...
