    The New Dive Rite Optima CM - My 30 Hour Review

    that's actually my primary concern as well. I also find myself taking longer to scroll through the menus and change settings on my nerd than my handset which is another light concern. I think the primary benefits of it would be less danglies when going through the wiggly bits and if I'm using...

    The New Dive Rite Optima CM - My 30 Hour Review

    appreciate the response. I'll assume petrel as the controller, but ill stop asking for free game. Mainly looking for feedback on useability of the nerd controller before placing my order. Have an older nerd and love it, but havent had any experience using it as a controller.

    The New Dive Rite Optima CM - My 30 Hour Review

    Are you using the new Nerd as a controller or a petrel? This quarantine has me finalizing my order for one to match my backmounted unit.

    FB posting - standards violations - how many can you pick out?

    Anarchy scuba on FB does some pretty deep dives (pun fully intended) on occurrences like this. I'm not sure how they find what they do, but they seem to care more than a lot of the agencies if I'm being honest.

    FB posting - standards violations - how many can you pick out?

    I'll admit I can't read. They definitely violated a boatload of standards then and that should be dealt with accordingly. I had assumed tdi. Someone posted this as the supposed profile as well, which is fairly telling. This only reiterates the fact I need caffeine before I internet.

    FB posting - standards violations - how many can you pick out?

    Unless I'm blatantly misreading the tdi standards, single tank appears to be allowed along with standard "BC"s. Also while I'm not sure of tdi standards for sites, IANTD requires a site where a deeper depth than planned for is reachable. Maybe the divers stayed mid water to abide by...

    Which agency has the best online materials?

    I've used TDI, IANTD, and PADI. TDI was phenomenal and padi was well padi. I wouldn't say it was anything groundbreaking, but it was well put together and worked smoothly. IANTD, on the other hand, was a throwback. What I was told would be e-learning was basically a digital textbook where I...

    Getting in touch with Vance Harlow - oxyhacker - Airspeed Press

    Most likely on paper because of how easy it is to spread ebooks. Makes it a lot bigger of a hassle for someone to take and post them somewhere for free

    Unacceptable Instructor Behaviors...

    recently saw a fairly well known florida tec instructor berate a 12 year old in one of their ow classes. behaviors like that can turn people off diving forever. it really blew my mind to see the father just standing there and watching

    Chewed up and spit out

    Glad you weren't hurt. I struggle a lot with calling dives myself and it's something I'm trying to be more conscientious of

    In need of help

    I second contacting a police dive team. I can't think of anyone else who would retrieve a gun from a pond for a complete stranger off the internet. handguns used in crimes are often dumped in a very similar way to what you've described and I'd really hate having to explain myself to the...

    Short people problems/hacks

    hp 80s are a hit down here with people of smaller stature, but on longer or more strenuous dives most people I know either jump up to an hp100 or a low pressure 95.
