Selling my technical diving equipment due to retiring from tech diving. OMS Single Bladder Bungee Wing 45 lbs (20.4 kg) Lift (Good Condition) ● Sun bleached but still fully functional (almost looks like dark camo gray) ● 1000 Denier nylon for abrasion resistance ● Interchangeable inflation and...

Is it too late? I am interested in either 1 or 2 40s with genesis valves. The price on the website is now $199. Did all the early birds get the good worms? Carl

I am right handed. Right Arm: Bottom Timer (on wrist rotated toward my thumb) & VR3 computer (VR3 more on forearm since bulky). I also use my light on the right hand in a goodman handle and my computer / timer placement doesnt tangle the light cord. Left Arm: Compass (on wrist rotated...

LOL!!! Thanks ramsabi. That made me laugh. :068:

Why is asking a question in an attempt to try to get the VR3 to match the output of a table or computer program such taboo? Are you people reading the question or are you skimming and jumping on me and accusing me of being a so called and then that is just plain rude, and then...

The con was sending the unit to the UK for hardware upgrades instead of somewhere like Milwaukee. It is going to take more time / money to ship to Europe instead of the continental United States. Most likely they are going to ship it back the cheapest way which again will take more time or...

I think I am going to have to. What I think I will do is to create a dive table from the output of the VR3 in 10' / 5 minute increments and then laminate it. Sooner or later I will get the VPM-B/E upgrade, but right now it isnt worth it since I am limited to 180' on air. When I do a trimix...

Thanks Dave. You gave me a feasible option and I appreciate it. I am going to take a look at GAP. Uncle Rick was helpful as well. It is hard to believe that posting a question regarding trying to get the VR3 and a table or output from a dive planning software suite to match would make me...

About 2 months ago, I bought some OMS Slipstream fins. They are just like Scubapro Jet fins except they are positively buoyant even with the spring straps on the back. That was one of the selling points for me because some boat dives I go on require me to take off my fins before boarding the...

Yes. I have had a deco class. But contingency plans cover when you go past the parameters of the original dive plan, not when the computer malfunctions and you are left following a different deco plan than the computer presented. My contingency is the deco plan for a dive that is target...

Here is my problem. I am doing some dive planning and when I try to plan a dive to 150 feet for 25 minutes on air I get a bunch of different plans. For example, here is the dive plan for tables, V-Planner, and VR3 with different configurations. IANTD / US Navy Air Decompression Tables...

I have been using the VR3 (without the new VPM algorithm) for about a month and a half (8 dives) and I have only found a couple shortcomings. I can give a short review regarding the VR3 in a pros/cons format. Pros: 1) built like a tank 2) upgradeability – you wont have to purchase...

I have spring straps and love them. The chances of the spring breaking is next to 0 and they are self adjusting. Once they are on your foot, the spring snugs-up and you have the same fit dive after dive after dive. However, I do have a donning loop with a heel pad on the back. The loop is...

First let me say I am not a doctor and have no medical training what-so-ever. Recently I read somewhere in some advanced or extended range nitrox book that adipose (fat) tissue absorbs more nitrogen in relation to other body tissues. If that is a fact, can fat people (yours truly included)...

Not that I am an art critic, but the sticker would probably look cooler if you made the skull and cross bones black or a shade of gray with black outline. ok, tell me to shut up.

the big selling point for me was the upgradeability. Supposedly, you will never have to buy another dive computer. You can even send in a mono unit for the color screen upgrade... if you wanted to. I was told the color screen was harder to read and not worth the $400 or so to upgrade over the...

I come from the school of "buy your equipment once... if you can afford it". I purchased a Uwatec computer with Nitrox and deco for $199 since it was a floor model. I figured I could use if for the time being and then as a backup or let my bro/sis use it when I get the VR3. If I would have...

The problem, as I see it, is that you are thinking too conventionally and assuming that this small contraption contains compressed gas. People have already convinced us that there is no way we can compress gas to fit into those itty-bitty cylinders. Not to mention the regulator would be very...

This came up on another thread, but this one is in the right area. So here it goes... again... It was a good concept... to build a model great white that could swim with other great whites with a diver inside. Who wouldn’t like to be a shark for a few hours? But that is where the...
