    Watch Style Computers - Latest thoughts?

    I'm looking for a watch-style computer to use when travelling and as my backup (Shearwater Perdix AI is my main computer). I'm toying around with the idea of ScubaPro Mantis M2 or Suunto D4i. User replaceable battery is important to me. Strangely I can't find much in the way of reviews on the...

    Noumea, New Caledonia Advice?

    Considering a trip to New Caledonia, but the budget is a little tight so we want to stick with Noumea so we don't have to take any extra flights/transit. Anyone here have any thoughts, pictures, videos, advice on diving out of Noumea? How long are the boat trips? What is the diving quality...

    Tipping in Palau

    I know this thread is pretty old, but the link above doesn’t seem to work and I’m wondering if the guideline of $5/tank is still a good rule to follow? Also, I’ve heard that you should tip the boat driver as well? We are doing 3 dives a day and there is 1-2 dive guides per day (usually a...

    It sounds like bluetooth sync is only supported with Android devices, is that correct?

    Dive Log software options for Shearwater Perdix AI?

    So I just got a Shearwater Perdix AI and I'm trying to figure out what all the options are for dive logging software? Previously, all of my dives are inside of Datatrak for my old Aladin Pro. It seems DiveLog for iOS is quite popular and it now seems that Shearwater has a cloud software with...

    Wanted Shearwater Perdix AI with Transmitter

    My old Aladin Uwatec Nitrox has finally lost another battery and I simply refuse to spend money on replacing it again. So, time for a new computer. Really keen to get the Shearwater Perdix AI for all the reasons everyone cites. If anyone here has one here they would like to sell, please...

    Aladin Datatrak working with Windows 7?

    Unfortunately, I don't think I can help too much. It seems that the compatibility is idiosyncratic to various chipsets and drivers. Honestly, the best suggestion I could make would be to find a good computer parts store near you that has a selection of USB->Serial adapters and has a good...

    Aladin Datatrak working with Windows 7?

    That's helpful thank you....the driver download file you linked has a MUCH newer driver version and that is the one I'm using. It looks to me like the older driver that you have is the one that might be compatible. So the question is now whether I can find that older version of the driver...

    Aladin Datatrak working with Windows 7?

    I'm trying a USB to serial adapter with the prolific chipset. What's really strange is that I can get it to work with Datatalk, but it simply will not transfer dives in Datatrak. The same adapter manages to do the transfer in WinXP, but my new laptop and computer is win7 and I sure wish I could...

    Aladin Datatrak working with Windows 7?

    Hi, I was wondering if any users of the uwatec Datatrak and memomouse have been able to successfully download their dives into the Datatrak software when running windows 7? I am using a USB->serial cable converter and when I use that cable it works just fine in Windows XP, but I can't make...

    Underwater structure near Okinawa

    I'm not entirely sold on this. However, the the stuff on Yonaguni is still a pretty good mystery that doesnt' seem to get much attention. Interesting History channel video on youtube. Search "Japans Mysterious Underwater Megaliths" on youtube to find it (since I haven't posted enough on this...

    When to dive out of Cairns & Liveaboard ?s

    Hi, Was wondering what time(s) of the year are best for diving out of the Cairns area (Great Barrier reef or other locations in that region). How is the water in July? Also, I would be interested in doing a 2-3 day liveaboard dive trip in that region. Can anyone make any...

    Fiji Diving - Mamanuca Reports ?

    Hello All, I have heard the Mamanuca group is excellent for diving, yet I have seen almost no trip reports on these islands. Planning a trip to Fiji in late May and wondering where I should go. Looking to get good diving, but don't want to spend a fortune on liveaboards either. Also...

    Malapascua in July???

    I spent 5 days in Malapascua in June of 2002. I believe I stayed with Exotic, but I can't recall for sure. I thought the island was a wonderful change from the more crowded destination beaches like Boracay or Puerto Galera. Did 3 dives at the Monad Shoal and saw Threshers every time. The water...
