Heading to Victoria from the interior this weekend. Is anyone planning to dive that day?

The current mix will be highlighted orange when a better mix is available (set to on) and serves as a clue that something isn't right in your specific case.

@Shearwater any insight into this by any chance ?

Is there a delay for @+5 and Δ+5 to update on the screen ? I noticed that while at a stop, Δ+5 will sometimes read -3 or -4 instead of the anticipated -5, holding the stop at the exact appropriate depth (and yes I'm on the right gas). This actually gets reflected in the log, where @+5 - TTS =...

DGX does not recommend using hand-held O2 analyzers for technical diving applications, and instead recommend using "technical-grade" analyzers have built in compensation for humidity, barometric pressure etc. I have never seen anyone using a $1000+ trimix analyzer to get a reading on anything...

There seems to be a consensus that diving in a "cold, dark, limited viz" environment results in further gas narcosis than say warm tropical waters. I'm wondering what the actual evidence is around that? Granted narcosis is hardly measurable/quantifiable but this thing about cold dark waters...

Had that exact setup. The wing is too narrow to taco. Most taco issues are with large double wings.

I dropped about 8lbs ≈ 4 kg going from single to double HP100 (12.9L Fabers), keeping everything else the same. Though bear in mind you'll also have double the weight differential between full and empty.

Hi, can I have my name changed to Narcoz Thanks

I'm planning a road trip through the west coast on my way up to BC and will schedule a couple of dive trips on the way. I much prefer to dive with steel when diving dry, but I'm unsure if I should take my tanks with me. Do charters in the PNW mostly use AL80s or is steel commonly available ...

Hello, I've taken my new Santi BZ400X undergarments in for a first dive and am quite impressed with the warmth is provides. However it did require me to add 10 lbs of lead. I knew it was floaty but not that much. I've read it can take some dives to "break in", after which the buoyancy might go...

Thanks spc751, can you point me to those groups ?

Hello, I'm moving to Kelowna in a few months and am interested to know what how active the dive community is in the area. I currently dive mostly lakes/quarries here in GA so I'm not anticipating anything too amazing out of the local dive sites but ideally I'm still planning on getting wet a...

Hi I just started reading deco for divers and stumbled across the exact same question as this post. I was wondering if you had in the meantime found an explanation for this discrepancy... My observations are the following: 1) In the book, except for the fact that the line is drawn at y=x...

In terms of features yes, though the ergonomics are quite different (e.g. 4 buttons vs 3, different display matrix positioning...)

welcome !

suunto computers are interesting in the sense that they will give you a ceiling to to go over. It's what they call continuous deco...

3.5 kb / 8.5 lbs

I second that.

A person who claims to have been working at Taba dive centre when this happened posted a comment on the BBC FB post. I've hidden the person's name as I'm not sure what this forum's policy is on privacy etc., but you can find the original post and comments here. Obviously take those comments...
