    Perdix, Deco plan (real time)

    So.. I can't find a way to read the deco plan: I have the first deco stop (current ceiling), I have the TTS (so a general idea of how long the whole deco will be...) but no information of where (depth) it'll be the next stop and for how long. On my Ratio I can push a button and see all the stops...

    RX100V in manual mode (Av/Tv)

    I own a housing with no access to the rear control wheel rotation, as some of you know already, that wheel is used to control the shutter speed while in manual mode and the front wheel (the only one accessible) is used to control the aperture. To assign the shutter speed to the front wheel, you...

    PG in Dec/Jan ...so rainy?

    I'm not sure how the weather forecast are accurate over there, however I see rain and rain across the whole December. Is it the case.. or it's just the usual tropical destination where you have those showers that last 30 minutes and then the sun again?

    Shearwater Cloud 2.2.3 bugged

    When downloading the new news dives (previously synched using the smartphone) they are listed with the wrong date and hour (they all have 0001-01-01 12:00), plus any modification done in the desktop cloud (in example by adding the location) and synching, will not synch on the smartphone.

    Best cameras per category

    I'm trying to determine which camera fits each category and can be considered the "best overall" (trying to be generic without falling in the specific cases). It's an argument that is often published every now and then by the "press", but we know that they are often too political correct for a...

    El Galleon (Asia Divers) now has direct connection (Manila) and ATM

    Looking for my Manila > Sabang connection (I have opted for a private transfer initially) I just noticed that now El Galleon offers their own private fastboat (no more external companies), they will meet you at the Airport or Hotel in Manila and bring to the El Galleon pier. I will check if the...

    Spending a week on the islands in April

    Hi dudes, during my next trip to Japan, I will spend a week on the Islands for scuba diving. Since I want the shortest trip possible (to not waste time) from Tokyo ( back and forth) considering that I will have only a week, do you recommend Okinawa (main island) or Ishigaki? It'll be in early...

    Diving in Canary Islands

    Diving in the Canary Islands is often perceived as a not much life to see and wreck dives only. While it's certainly not the Caribbean area, nor you would see a lot of colorful stuff, the peculiarity of each island has a lot to offer, including marine life that can be see only in few places in...

    iBubble Underwater Drone

    So, we talked about iBubble in the past (it's a 3 years old project..), but now it's approaching to its "release" and more videos have come out. It looks really promising, but because it does crazy things, but because it'll be the first autonomous underwater vehicle and if proven to work it...

    PADI - No (full) cave certification

    Is there any reason of why PADI doesn't have a full cave certification in its didactic? They offer TEC (someway) courses, even reb.. but no cave (but only cavern). Is there any specific reason for this choice?

    Shearwater cloud + Perdix AI not working anymore (Android)

    It connects fine as usual.. as soon I press "Download Dives" the screen on the smartphone reverts to the "Connect" screen, and the Perdix AI is cyclying between "Sending" and "Sending List" (shown for just an instant). Tried to update the firmware already (it was updated to v53), to reinstall...

    How do you access El Galleon (Puerto Galera)

    Hi everyone, I know there's a path along the beach, anyway in certain points it seems not paved (beach) or such.. so my question is: when you arrive to the Sabang pier, how do you go to El Galleon with all your (heavy) luggage? There's an internal walkway? Thanks!

    Circuit under pressure with tank closed after purging

    Does anyone had a similar issue or can explain how this would affect the LP ports? Story: apparently there's pressure "trapped" in the circuit even after have removed the first stage from the tank, this someway "locks" the HP ports and the SPG doesn't work (it remains to zero) if not after...

    Olympus E-M5 II inside the housing... I can zoom!

    I own a EM5 II coupled with a M.Zuiko 2.8 Pro in a Meikon housing... as others with a similar setup know already, you have the big limitation of not being able to use the zoom while in the housing, so you're forced to decide in advance if you gonna take picture/videos in wide angle or zoomed...

    Perdix (Last deco STOP)

    The Perdix (AI) set in REC mode doesn't let you change the depth of the last deco stop, it's greyed and defaulted at 3 meters (10 feet), you cannot select 6m. This is a limitation due to the fact that you cannot change the deco model and the default one requires a mandatory stop at 3m ... or for...
