That is truly amazing. I'm super happy to hear that she has a new lease on life. You cant ask for anything more.

Great question. I'm a pretty small guy, clocking in at 140 pounds. You'd think California has awesome diving. Its actually known to be some of the harshest conditions in America. The water is always very cold (several divers I know only used drysuits), and visibility is quite poor. I...

I dont mind sharing at all. If what I writes helps other, I'm super happy to do it. I had a total colectomy in the middle of 2009. Prior to that I had lived with Ulcerative Colitis for roughly 8 or 9 years. UC essentially robbed me of my 20's. Being scared of the idea of having an ostomy, I...

I havent dove in a couple of years. But I did allot of diving with a stoma and pouch. I've gotten allot of emails over the years from people who are interested to hear what it was like. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. john@beyondvoip.net.

If there is any representatives for DAN who frequent this forum, I want to state for the public record that you're not doing your jobs. You had an open request for people with ostomys to talk with them about their experiences in diving with one. I sent several emails, and got zero responses...

Thats the problem with doctors. They dont have an ostomy and cant really give you real advice. I never had a single problem. I've dove dozens of times with mine. I've dove to 110 feet. Zero issues. Drain your pouch before you dive, and expect to change your appliance at the end of the day...

Steve, sending you a PM.

Bump - Dropping Price to $850. Shipping still included to US.

Bump - Make me a reasonable offer

I am selling an Eon Steel, in perfect condition. As you can see from the pics, it is running the latest firmware, and has a total of 178 dives on it with 50 hours of use. The unit has had service within the last 6 months. During that time, the included tank pod was sent out for the recall, which...

Dan, can you share a link to the PLB that you purchased? I have to admit, the $200+ canister is the big turn off on the item. But if a cheap solution is to just use any depth proof case that will fit it, I'm good with that.

I guess I am a bit confused. I thought the Gen II Nautilus was a PLB, and nothing more. If it isnt, then you're correct that it adds nothing more. The next purchase will be a PLB. So if the Nautilus is not one, then I'll have to find something else.

That PLB and case is a ton of money. The dive canister costs more than the PLB itself. I'm thinking the Nautilus Gen II at $180 which doesnt need the canister is much more affordable.

Thanks for the info. I just read through the entire manual, and saw that noted. I'm glad it was pointed out, because I would have stored it closed. Its not too difficult to use, but reading the manual made it much easier.

I wanted to grab the Gen 1 while I still could. But I'll probably also pick up a Gen 2 before the year is out. That way I have the full arsenal at my disposal.

I got the unit today. It is in fact new and unused. It did not have an MMSI assigned. I have gone ahead and assigned mine to it. I'm stoked.

I got asked in Hawaii.

Of course it can. Thats why I would call around and find a good price. I believe I paid $250 to do mine online. Then I found out the shop that I went to to show me the analyzer would have only cost $200 had I of gone directly to them. Then I spoke to my instructor and he would have done it...

I'm gonna chime in here. I took the PADI Nitrox online course. As soon as I was done, I felt like I had been completely ripped off. I paid essentially double what it would have cost to have taken it in person. Sure I learned all the important aspects of Nitrox, and felt absolutely well...

Thanks for that info PfcAJ. What you said is kind of the expectation I had with the First Gen radio, which is why I opted to track one down. I'm doing a boat dive on Sunday, so I will have it with me. It gets delivered before noon tomorrow.
