    Nylon or bungee straps ?

    Hi folks, I hope to dive my Force Fin Pro XXXL next month for the 1st time. Got them 2nd hand, but never used in the original cardboard box, in Italy, during 2022 second semester. It was a true bit of luck. Alas, 2023 wasn't so good a vintage as far as diving is concerned, for me at least...

    Ever used one ?

    Like the idea and the design a lot. Heard of it for a long time, but never came across a real one, although I started diving when computers weren't no so common. Anyone used one around here ? Please, let us know.

    Diving with essential tremor

    Hi folks, I'd be interested to chat with divers living with essential tremor (if you don't know what it is, click here), to exchange experiences around it and especially its implication on our/your diving practice. I've been living for 49 years with it, I was diagnosed when I was 3 (extremely...

    The Deepest Breath (Netflix)

    Just watched it... Extremely beautiful pictures but found the film rather shallow and complacent. Disappointed. Besides, they forget Angela Bandini was the 1st woman to go deeper than 100 m (107m in 1989). My feeling : too much cheap sensationalism and lack of background research, which is the...

    Sewer divers

    Came across that recently. Interesting, but there're again those cheap spectacular moments, which just ruin the show according to me.

    Question Which software to download my dives on my desktop ?

    Hi folks ! For years, I've used 'MacDive', first with my DR Nitek Trio, then with my SW Petrel. I was utterly satisfied with it, especially because it allowed me to log the gear used on each dive. Alas, after more than 2 decades, I was no longer satisfied with what Macs were becoming, so I...

    Nitek Q buttons

    Hi, here's a question just for argument sake, but I like to go to bed each day less ignorant than the previous day :wink: Today, I've changed for the second time the buttons on my Nitek Q. I've been using it as a backup computer for some years. I've noticed the buttons are magnetic, but I fail...

    Solved: Adding a new rebreather brand in the profile list

    Hi ! Was wondering if it would be possible to add a new brand of CCR in the multiple choice on the profile page ? Or at least, a generic description like mCCR ? I know it's only cosmetic, but I'm not able to specify my machine in anyway. The link to the brand homepage : Triton Thanks.

    Shearwater Desktop

    Hi, Regarding this software, is it still supported and functional ? I've got an old version of it, on an old Mac computer, but it's impossible to connect my Petrel to it. To upgrade firmware I rely on Shearwater Cloud (Android version), no problem there. Still I miss the possibility of...

    Topiramate (Epitomax / Topamax) and diving

    Here's my problem : I'm 48, been diving for almost 30 years, and been living since I was 3 with essential tremor, a genetic condition which make my hands shake and twitch whenever I do something. It has nothing to do with Parkinson disease, it's not lethal, so I'm used to living with it and not...
