    @TheScubaPanda Hello Jonathan, thank you for the information. What is the expected lifetime of the batteries, before they need to be replaced? Just trying to get a sense of the ownership costs....

    Holbox diving

    Hello all, I am planning a trip to mexico this summer and I am looking into a stay in Holbox Island. Other than the (exciting) whale shark snorkeling trip, I was not able to find any info on local diving. What's up with that? Bad vis? protected areas?

    Xdeep shipping -- anyone with insight?

    My experience was very different. I ordered a completely custom zen, I was told that it was going to take 8 weeks to deliver it and it showed up at my LDS in 4. Good luck, I hope it gets resolved

    XDeep NX Zen Standard

    I have a deluxe with 2 large trim pockets. They are very large but they do fit on the cam bands, when they are set up for AL80/63 or larger diameter tanks.

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    yes, I do not think we are disagreeing. I agree with what you are saying about stress/anxiety but I was referring to the insetting of complacency that can happen when the lack of the mental "discomfort" translates in over-confidence. Let me put it differently: I think that the fact that your...

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    I think that the purpose of the training is not to eliminate that discomfort. In fact that would be a very dangerous thing to happen.

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    yes, she did. She claimed that she was OOA where she probably was just rapid breathing and therefore accumulating CO2. She spit the regulator off and tried to bolt to the surface. The instructor was able to help in this case, thankfully. Again, had he lost contact with either the arm of the...

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    Their decision? With a panicked individual in a life/death situation our rescue protocols rely on their decision? An instructor or a guide would be under immense pressure to try to save a student or a customer's life under similar circumstances and I won't even mention liabilities. I did...

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    The difference is that the donor needs to take his regulator off too, while wrestling with a panicked diver. And even if he successfully shovel his primary in the victim's mouth quickly, he would need to loose contact with it to allow himself to switch. At that point the victim very likely...

    Scuba Diver Panic from 15 meters - Scuba Diving Incident Analysis

    I see this video and I imagine how bad it would have been if the donor was trying to share his/her primary and not the octo. Or even worse, if the donor had the secondary on the inflator.

    Orange Jet Fins

    Many shades of orange look like brownish-mustard at depth. I wonder how these would look.

    Mk19 + d420 whistling

    so... a little update for the inquiring minds. I received the set back from SP. The D420 was found to be free flowing because of some sand in it. This is somewhat strange because it was free flowing after being bench tested. But it is entirely possible because, if I remember correctly, the...

    Faulty switch for XTAR D26 Whale

    I used very small and thin pliers so that I could "lock" them into the little semi-circular dents of the rings. It did not require a lot of torque to make the ring come loose. The pliers are part of a set of tools for electronics. Once the ring was off the whole button assembly came loose. It is...
