While what I witnessed wasn't on a boat, I have seen the results of a camera and light batteries catching on fire during the night while charging. In Nov of 2018, I was in Philippines at a dive resort. The dive house had a handful of camera stations in a common area. One morning I came out to...

What still I don't understand is if they believed it was a serious medical issue due to DCS i.e. a "medical emergency", why would the plane continue on to Dallas for 2+ more hours? Why not turn back since they were only 20 minutes into a 2.5 hour flight? I'm assuming the cabin can't be...

Other reports show that Malik Altoos and his wife Kenda Albaree were from Denver on their honeymoon. I did manage to find a resident Dr in Denver named Malik Altoos. Could it be he just had an anxiety panic attack worrying about getting DCS which caused a feeling of breathlessness and tingling...

Maybe he was so worried about getting DCS that he had an anxiety attack. That could cause hyperventilating/breathing issues, and tingling in extremities. --- bill

So according to this report, a diver did 3 dives between 15 and 30 ft in Cancun, and took a flight home 19 hours later. He reportedly got DCS on the flight. Is that even possible? Plane Makes Emergency Landing In Dallas When Scuba Diver Suffers Decompression Sickness Can you really build up and...

I can't speak for the new version of the DC but I can say with a high degree of certainty that the pressure data is simply not there for the proplus2. I have written my own downloader code that reads the data directly from pelagic dive computers and the way that computer works is that it...

I'll try to be brief but there is truth in Dan's words. I've used & tested nearly every release of s/w (Oceanlog & ACI) for the past 5 years. (50+ releases) I was very active working directly with Oceanic during the transition from 1.0 to the 2.x release. I've even taken the time to figure...

Well, if the computer won't know your nitrogen loading and you will, why the heck are you worried about getting it out of gauge mode? Just leave it in gauge mode and use your knowledge of your loading since if you force your computer out of gauge mode prematurely the nitrogen loading...

If you do a dive in gauge mode and then you pull the battery to get it out of gauge mode before the 24 hour time, and then start diving in "computer mode", you are now diving with an initial nitrogen load that the computer's nitrogen loading algorithm doesn't know about. Seems like a bad thing...

Doug, Could you give a quick overview of what the latest ACI software is and how to get it? It seems to be a bit confusing, at least to me, as there seems to be different versions of the code that all have the same revision number on them and the auto update doesn't seem to be updating to...

I don't think manually patching the database is necessary. You can modify the date of any dive using ACI/Oceanlog. Simply find the dive you want to modify. Then change the year in the "DATE" field. Click on the [next dive] button (little triangle pointing to right on the top bar) and...

The computer itself is actually tracking the full year internally (up to 2039 anyway), and this year issue doesn't affect the use or capabilities of the computer while diving. It is only an issue for downloading, so I doubt that this would necessitate a recall. There are 2 "logbooks" stored...

Too funny. I told Oceanic about this issue about 9 months ago and even outlined a workaround in hopes they'd work it into their software release schedule. The issue is how the year is reported within the dive summary entries of the download logbook, which is a different logbook from the...

It is confusing. What isn't obvious or really described is that Oceanic/Aeris (Pelagic) computers maintain 2 separate logbooks. The logbook you see and can flip through on the LCD, which is just summary information, and the logbook you can download which has the profile information. It is the...

But it does do a "save as" where you can choose the location for a backup. All the shadow directory stuff or VirtualStore as Microsoft calls it was created by Microsoft as an attempt to create local file storage on per user basis without applications having to deal it. In my mind this is...

What OSes on on your computers? On Vista, the location where where applications get and store the logs can be different depending on if you have UAC enabled/disabled. When UAC is enabled, Vista creates a shadow directory structure under the users home directory for applications that attempt to...

Doug, Just noticed that ACI/Oceanlog 2.x can select the incorrect com port when locating the USB data cable com port. This occurs because the s/w looks in the registry for HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM\VCP0 While this method is nice in that the "VCP0" device will be created...

During a download, the PC s/w puts the dive computer into a download mode, downloads the data, then tells the dive computer to go back to surface mode. The divecomputer has a timer such that if it hasn't "heard" from the PC in 120 seconds, it will revert back to surface mode on its own in 120...

I've attached another slightly larger graph for the VersaProR computer. Its the largest I can get using Scubase to plot the profile data on my Monitor. I know nothing of this kind of diving but in comparing Jeff B's profile to JT's profile, to me, it looks like Jeff B went a bit deeper, did...

Very interesting. There is a big difference between the 1.x and 2.x OceanLog software especially in the GUI. Under the hood, the 2 versions talk the computers slightly differently as well as track slightly different data. This would seem to support the possibility of there being a s/w...
