I just got both computers delivered yesterday. I have not been out diving yet, but so far I am impressed with the menu system and some other features. I like that the transmitter is actually linked to the computer via serial number, not a code like the Suunto. When you go to program your...

I just ordered two of them w/ transmitters. Looking forward to putting it through the paces. When I first heard about the buddy check, I thought "What if someone checks their buddy's air, and then forgets to switch back to their transmitter and runs out of air?" I looked at the manual, which...

The sensor is actually covered for three years. If you go to their website, it says "prorated" as far as the sensor. What does that mean in this context? No, I don't think you can tell from looking at the unit how old it is. The only thing I can recommend is that you would need to ask...

The 02 censor on my analox 02 analyzer went bad recently, and was reading far too much 02 in my mixes. I sent it into Analox for service, at their request, and they just called telling me that I have a bad 02 censor, which I already figured out. Anyway, here is the thing you should know...

I'm in! No wait....I am running the damn thing! :D Thanks for the plug, Chad. Signal Cove in Hudson? If memory is correct, that is a small mobile development in Hudson, FL, and is approximately 7 or 8 miles from the venue. www.spearboardopen.com

double post. how do I delete when I have posted twice. This forum stuff is new to me. :)

Hey Tony, should be more and more east siders. There was a good turn-out last year, but I hear teams are forming early. Heck, I even gave the JAX people flounder in the new rules (used to be hogfish catagory, now it's "hogfish/flounder"). So, regardless of geographical area, unless someone...

Thanks for the positive comments about the Spearboard Open. The 2005 Spearboard Open website has been updated with the Rules, Registration Form, and Waiver for 2005. It'll be another great prize table, and I look forward to seeing everyone again! www.spearboardopen.com

My friend, the better question is: How do Sharks respond to Tarpon? The LAST thing I will be worrying about if I ever find myself in a pod of Tarpon is one getting aggressive with me. I have seen many times what a school of bulls or hammers think of a pod of Tarpon, and it's not a pretty...

Thanks for the feedback, SubMariner. My comment was contextual (70' not shallow for spearfishing), but, it may be deep for video. The Gulf is funny, we can definitely get into blue water here, and sometimes top to bottom in 200' of water. I think the filter I have is for green water, which...

I did an article for Spearboard Quarterly, and shot some underwater stuff. You can find the link to video here. I used a red filter, but there is still so much green. This was a shallow dive so I was surprised colors didn't show better. We were diving in 70ft. I don't recall the water...

I agree, Chad is a good friend of mine and will cut the learning time down for you. He is also safety conscious, and teaches the technical aspects of spearfishing well. Good luck.

The complaint I have heard about the Dive Rite Nitek He is that the deco stops are way too long and overly conservative, and whereas the table may require a 10 minute stop, the He give you 45 minutes (for example). I have no experience with it, but imagine that this has become a common issue...

Follow-up: I contacted Suunto and they sent me back an email, saying that I should not be getting a fail message with three bars still showing, and that I should be able to switch to the next gas even with a low air alarm. I switched the batteries in the transmitter and receiver. I did six...

I am going to book our first trip to Coz today, and have a couple of questions about where to stay. It will be my wife and I, and we generally prefer the laid back AI route. We have stayed in Cancun three times. I am leaning toward the Occidental Grande. Two questions: 1. Do they have...

Not yet. I'll send them an email today and see what kind of response I get.

First Problem: I have been losing my Air Pressure and getting a failed message. I have a back-up, so it does not pose a problem, but is annoying. I just went down to three battery bars. Is there a correlation between air pressure failures and minimal loss of battery power? I am going to...

Thanks, I didn't mean to dismiss Ike. And it is impressive that he is here on the board, which leads me to believe he'd be able to contact and give advise. I have never had an ikelite before, so my decision to go ahead with the Sea & Sea was based in part on my experience with other...

Thanks for the link, Ike. However, it's not very compelling to hear Ikelite's reasons to buy an Ikelite. It's kind of like posting, "Which is better, Chevy or Ford?", and getting a link to the Ford site as to why I should buy their product. Little too much bias there, but thanks.
