    Devils Den Info?

    A previous student of mine (various SSI specialties, cavern not included) posted about some diving he did in a "cave" at Devil's Den recently. The pics clearly show single Al80, no redundancy. But I've never been to Devil's Den so can't say for sure if he was in a cave zone or cavern zone or...

    Not Impressed With Huish Support

    So my Atom 3.1 died a bit a couple months ago. I sent it to Huish and it was placed on backorder for service (it doesn't look like they actually repair yours, they send you a refurbished one and then later actually refurbish your broken one to send to someone else.) So Saturday I get a note...

    The wife and I participated in a group trip to G&G's Clearwater Paradise Resort on Guanaja last week. It was a good, fun dive adventure with an interruption by T.S. Earl mid-week. G&G's Clearwater Paradise is located on the north side of Guanaja across the bay from Mangrove Bight and only...

    Equipment Modifications To Assist Quadriplegic Diver

    I'm training a quadriplegic diver who has partial ability with his arms / hands. He is using web gloves for propulsion. He has difficulty with several parts of the BC: Dump valves - the fingers on the hands are partially locked in curled position. Between that and the gloves, I'm considering...

    Oahu Dive Trip Report

    Just got back from two weeks of diving off Oahu. My wife, a diver we met last year in Grand Cayman, and I dove with Gabe Scotti's group at Kaimana Divers. We were extremely pleased with Kaimana Divers. The dive guides were very helpful, accommodating and a fun bunch (primarily Denise, Gerie...

    Navy Deco Table Question

    Working through the TDI Deco Procedures book in preparation for the class at the end of January. A question occurred to me reading the explanation of the deco tables. For a repetitive dive, deco or NDL, can you use the residual nitrogen group to get the residual nitrogen time and apply that RNT...

    Oceanic Atom Computer with Sherwood Amphos Transmitter?

    Looking to get a second transmitter for my Oceanic Atom. Looking at the Amphos, it appears to be the same manufacturer as the Atom and same for transmitters. I could get a better deal in a Sherwoid transmitter. Any thoughts on whether it would work with the Atom?

    Quality Control of Deco Planning Software?

    I'm an engineer at a nuclear plant so we think about these things. What quality control procedures have you seen in some of the deco planning software on the market? Are there standard test problems for the different algorithms that we can test the software fidelity? I'm not questioning any...

    TDI Standards?

    Are the TDI training standards available to the public? I looked on the site (and searched here) unsuccessfully. But then it took me a while to find the SSI standards, too, but finally did. Thanks, Carl

    First trip to Coz

    Our first trip to Coz is winding down. Came down with a cold/ fever the night before the last day so had to cancel the diving. :-( Diving was good but all current, all the time, not my style. Current is not strong but doesn't help with finding the small stuff. Only been diving (not counting the...

    Atom 3.1 - fresh vs salt water?

    Just bought an Atom 3.1 and have gone through the manual and am working my way through the training modules. So far, I haven't seen where the Atom 3.1 differentiates between salt and fresh water. I'm diving a lake this weekend (about 800 ft altitude) and want to ensure I've got the right...

    Anti-malarials?

    My wife and I are headed to Coz after four trips to Roatan. On our Roatan trips we took anti-malarials. And we understood the incidence rates to be reasonably low on Roatan but better safe than sorry and we don't have adverse reactions to the meds. What's the consensus for Coz? Anti-malarials a...

    Bananarama Trip In-Progress Report

    Here at Banarama for a couple weeks. Trying a different room this time. Flight over from Atlanta was late leaving Atlanta due to rain and an in-flight medical emergency in the row behind us kept my wife (nurse) busy. But all in all no harm done and we made it ok. The staff has changed since we...
