    Map Willow Grove School - Dale Hollow

    Sorry for bringing a thread back from the dead, however I take it there is no place for public fills? I'm considering a trip to Dale Hollow this July and only have a few cylinders--which could be a problem for doing a few dives a day around the lake. Any advice where I can get cylinders filled?

    Cobalt 2 "Charging Stopped"

    It appears we have reached at least the cause of the symptoms I experienced: The battery compartment had at some point developed a leak. Upon removing the battery door (per Ron's instructions) I found the battery puffed and covered in droplets of water. I also noted a white crystalline solid...

    Cobalt 2 "Charging Stopped"

    Update Three: The computer this morning would not turn on (or at least the display would not illuminate). I had given up on it and sat it on my desk. After coming back from a 60 minute meeting, the screen was on and the computer was displaying the "Set Time and Date" screen as if it suffered...

    Cobalt 2 "Charging Stopped"

    My Cobalt 2, which was replaced under warranty for a failure of the first computer last year, is now displaying "charging stopped" when connected to the AC adapter or a USB power supply. The computer has been kept in a temperature-controlled room (70 degrees Fahrenheit), so the out-of-range...

    Very Last Minute Trip

    I dove off the coast of Oahu last year around this time with 72 degree water temperatures. The first dive was OK but the second after the surface interval was rather chilly. When I go back, I'll probably find a way to drag along my dry suit if I do another spring break trip. ---------- Post...

    Very Last Minute Trip

    You bring up a good point about water temp. I do like really warm water. I dive in a drysuit in the summer in the shallows in Indiana if that tells you anything.

    Very Last Minute Trip

    Very recently my schedule changed and opened up March 28-April 5 for travel. I'm looking for a last minute destination for at least four or five days, with one fewer dive day, of course. I'm open to shore or boat diving, but just want to get somewhere warm for a few days. I would prefer to...

    GoPro Live Underwater

    Unfortunately to get the video into our switcher, it needs to be presented in either HDMI (for conversion to HD-SDI) or straight HD-SDI. I've seen the quality of the video from the camera's wireless connection and I don't feel it would be broadcast quality. We could use the wireless...

    GoPro Live Underwater

    From my searches, I was afraid they may be the only game in town. Anyone have tips on making my own? I have been thinking of getting a Hero 4, so flooding my Hero 3 in an attempt to make my own housing isn't terribly upsetting.

    GoPro Live Underwater

    Has anyone found a case that allows HDMI and USB (power) pass through that is waterproof to at least 30' for GoPros? I have an opportunity for a video broadcast class that I teach to live video stream a statewide high school underwater ROV competition and, being a diver, I naturally thought it...

    Advice on OTS Guardian?

    I enjoy my Guardian FFM. I do the bulk of my dives in quarries in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky (read: cold water) and am not terribly cold tolerant. When my dive buddies wound up with one and raved about its benefits in cold water, I knew I had to experience it. I bought one last year and...

    Practicing Skills on Land

    While I dive dry, I've yet to make it out diving past November 1 (and, after all this is only my second winter after certification). It is just a little too cool for me and especially my dive buddies who dive wet. I've considered ice diving and think an introductory course would be really...

    Another Hoosier Checking In

    Welcome! I'm also in southern Indiana but on the west side of the state. There is a small group of divers affiliated with Fun Time Scuba in Brazil, IN that does dives in area quarries. Check their Facebook page for upcoming trips. There is actually one this Friday, October 3 to Mermet...

    How many times a year you are going to scuba diving?

    As my first year diving, I made it a goal to dive at least once per weekend between June and October. I've not made every weekend, but been close. I've had about 45 dives so far this season, though it will be wrapping up in the next few weeks due to cooling temperatures. Most dives have been...

    Sunset Lake, Linton IN

    It's a great place to dive. It's certainly not ocean diving, but if you don't mind staying above the thermocline (and staying warm), you can really enjoy yourself. There are plenty of fish to watch, neat underwater terrain and interesting vegetation formations--all with 15-20 foot visibility...

    Another Thanks to Atomic

    I purchased a Cobalt 2 at the beginning of June of this year and marveled at the intuitiveness of the UI as well as the layout and features of the computer itself over my Oceanic Veo 2.0. Unfortunately after about ten dives, it developed symptoms which indicated a failing pressure sensor. I...

    Combination Gas Monitors

    I did a short search and did not turn up anything of interest so I turn to the crowd to see if what I am in search of really does exist: Is there such a thing as a portable combination CO and O2 monitor? I hate the thought of buying multiple devices to would carry around and would think in...

    I Need A New Dive Light!!!

    Look at Atorch's line. My LDS sold me the TC05, a rechargeable light which I have loved so far. There were some quality control issues at first, but his distributor stood behind them and it now appears they have the bugs squashed.

    Lightweight Notebook for a dive trip

    While I'm a big fan of Apple products (own a Macbook Pro) you might also look at the Surface Pro 3 that was just released. If you're not comfortable moving to and learning a new operating system (though Windows 8.1 has a very different UI to Windows 7 if that is what you know) it is worth a...
