Back on the band bandwagon. I found the Apollo gauge wrist strap that comes in a 1" size - the exact size needed. Slightly expensive at $20 and the included velcro strap clocks in at 13" which is too short for my dry suit use. However, the spring buckle is threaded like a scuba belt buckle -...

I am at dive 13 with the Mk2i. I am using it to track shore dives. From one entry point, we have half a dozen or so drops. I dive nights and mornings, so surface lineups are not always visible. For me, this was the singly most important feature of the watch. One thing I am noticing is that...

Are the transmitters available to the public yet? I am seeing dates like February 2021 for availability everywhere I look. FWIW, I picked up a Mk2i early and have been happy with it. I have about 10 dives on it. You do need to turn off "turn-by-turn" directions - finding this out floating...

I guess we could suggest that with the next round of pictures, try not to make it look like the suit has been strung up in a remote basement to be tortured.

So I tried both the Edge and Beuchat masks - not even close to fitting. The quest continues :) Fortunately, I have the Vida which is pretty darn close to a perfect fit.

Quick note to say that I feel your pain. What I can say is that once I found "the" mask (Sherwood Vida), diving was so much more enjoyable. It still leaks (mostly depending on the state of my 5 o'clock shadow), but in a 60 minute dive I may have to clear the mask once, as opposed to constantly...

I have found with other devices that use taps and shakes for U/I that they tend to fail to work as expected over time. I suspect due to accelerometer calibration drift. I can confirm that you can add a heading to the main data layout. I subbed it in for Temp. Not sure about about heading...

I do mainly shore dives with long kick outs and would like to use GPS to confirm drop zones closer than visual lineups (which do not work for some at night). Thanks for the insight on getting location lock prior to the dive. I thought it was enough to just have the watch ON. Did a night...

1) Teric comparison for displayed info. It looks like you need to press a button to bring up the compass - no? 2) Double tap - agree with concern about longevity of this feature. No problems with first dive in changing modes on its own. I remain hopeful. 3) Multisport vs. dive watch - I get...

I had mine out for the first time this weekend. For reference, I have a Petrel 2 and an Eon Core. It is only one dive, but so far I am impressed. The Good: The Display: I was worried that I would have a difficult time seeing the display (I use reading lenses in my mask), but it is very...

My most successfully used light is the more tubular blinking ones in the first posted link. However, I like the TekTite the best, as you can use it back at the car as a flashlight to help with gear down and to check for left items. However, I tend to forget to turn the dang things on prior to...

I have an ancillary question. I get out diving at least one a week and tend to soak my gear in a plastic tub. About every third dive I dump the water on the lawn / garden. I am wondering if I am, in effect, salting the earth - thereby stunting the growth of the grass and plants. Anyone seen...

Bob: Have you given any thought to releasing 3D files for your whiskers for those of us with 3D printers? I know that printed versions would not be as strong or robust as those you would or could produce, but they would allows us to try them out and tied us over until you get them back into...

For the all rounder - I have two suggestions. In the jet fin style, look at the Deep 6 Eddy fins. They are a bit lighter than the jet fins I have held, with a similar power profile. I have taken my XLs (1125 gms) on trips a couple of time. I tried the RK3, but the stock ones were too floppy...

I am selling a Halo 3D in XXL Short as pictured. I am not sure why they call it a short, as according to the 4th Element site it fits those in 6'1" to 6'4" range. I am 6'2 (and thought I was kinda tall) and height wise it fits great. Weight wise, this is for those in the 240+ range. I used...

95% of my diving is shore entry. Mostly nice sandy beaches - meaning I do not need anything substantial to protect my feet. I am currently using cheap house brand neoprene booties, but have used a variety of other options in the past. The most usual have been the DUI rockboots. A nice option...

I have a Eon Core with transmitter. I have used used for about nine months and in excess of 50 dives. It has been flawless. I tend to be one of the slower ones gearing up so I try to get to the site at least an hour prior to the dive to gear up. As such, my computer has timed out many times...

Reminds me of a respiratory therapist I knew in years past. When checking a patient's pulse he would always stare at his wrist. He never wore a watch. He said that he didn't need a watch to pick out what he was looking for, but that he found it made patients calmer if they thought he was...

I went through a similar experience at a similar time in my diving. Right around 75 dives or so, I had panic attacks creep in to my diving. I think most of these were the result of mentally forecasting a bad experience based upon some trigger (real or imagined). The results were rapid...

As noted - cost is the tradeoff. For DUI, the rings themselves are disposable - when gloves are worn out - you replace with a new set (no expectation that you use a heat gun etc...). FYI the $250 set are the fancy gloves with seals in them ( for those who want the extra assurance - personally...
