    Sierra Battery question

    Often two or three months pass between scooter dives with my Sierra. How much should I worry about losing battery capacity? I have read several cases of batteries needing replacement earlier than one might expect. Is there a way to prevent this? Is it batter to use other battery technology...

    Divers Alert Network coverage question

    Since I can't seem to start a thread in the DAN forum I'll post this here. MODs can put it where they want it. Why do DAN America and DAN Europe have different exclusions? I was encouraging friends to sign up with DAN and get insured when they informed me the reason they don't, is that in...

    How high can you compress air before the volume equation becomes

    Non linear? I have no idea if I am even asking this correctly but I'll try to explain what I mean. A couple of friends of mine came across some information claiming that if you compress air to a high enough pressure, you will no longer be able to calculate the amount of air you have in a tank...

    One complaint about my Dive X Sierra

    It doesn't go slow enough!! :D But seriously, in our dark deep lakes over here 1st gear is too fast. Yesterday I loaned my old Mako to a friend to try out before buying and with the Sierra in 1st gear he had to have the prop pitch set on 6 to keep up. I know you can also adjust the prop on the...

    What is the real difference in the training

    I took this quote from another running thread because it struck me the wrong way. "Again, as TS&M said... not many potential divers, shopping for their entry-level courses, appreciate the difference between high and low quality tuition. Pricing is critical in this respect... and that is the...

    Internet Explorer 9 - Recover Webpage / Lockup Issues

    I can post new threads as evidenced here but for the past few weeks, every time I try to quote a poster and add to a thread SB locks up and windows has to recover the page, losing what I have written. Is this a SB problem or a Microsoft problem? thanks

    Flying with sierra and soft case

    Do you recommend printing out information for the TSA about the NiMh batteries? Are they already familiar enough with them in your opinion? Problems faced or shared with you by customers? Are the new seal protectors necessary to prevent deformation of the tube or only to protect the sealing...

    Comparing the Sierra to the Zuexo Xjoy 14

    I am going to buy a scooter in the next couple of weeks and am looking for information from Sierra and Zuexo owners or testers. Why these two? The Zuexo I can buy here in Europe for a good price. The Sierra I can pick up when in the States in two weeks and fly back with my luggage. I also...

    Mako implosion at 140 Feet

    Thought I might share my recent experience with my fellow divers. Last week we went to Croatia for a few days diving. First dive was without scooters and was without event. Second dive we planned to scooter to a remote reef along the shore where there tends to be more sealife and much more...

    Skin bends?

    Have you ever seen skin bends appear as a dark red hot area that looks like sunburn? Last week I was on a liveaboard and after our second day of diving I felt a little stiffness in my left arm. I looked in the mirror and noticed a red area surrounding my left shoulder. I attributed it to...

    What about Torque?

    I have been doing some reading and talking to users here with different scooters. Some said they chose a heavier, somewhat larger scooter because of wrist discomfort due to the torque felt with the smaller units. ie Sierra, Suex 7 and 14, and N19. All experiences welcome and info desired. I am...

    Balancing a Mako

    Anybody here sucessfully trimmed out a Mako in fresh water. It is easy to get it neutral with the nose up. I would like to get it neutral in scootering position. When I add weight to the nose it simply gets overweighted and goes nose down to the bottom. Short of removing the bracing to shift the...

    Greetings friends, The knob that controls the zoom on my S90 functions but very very easily slips past the button on the camera. Underwater it is a real problem to use. Is this a normal complaint/problem or is it a problem with my case? It seems to me there should be a stop that keeps the...
