    Tech diving in Turkey

    I'm thinking to go to Turkey for the vacation in September and I'm looking for interesting dive sites including the ones for technical diving. I'm thinking about wrecks, not caves, and something more challenging than simple recreational diving. What dive sites do you recommend? Has anyone did...

    Is this a typical trimix mix? What would be the most common mix for trimix for that dive?

    I can try it with different parameters. What do you suggest?

    Fused RGBM 2 (P0) = ZHL16-C + GF 50/80 is for the default personal setting P=0. RGBM Fused 2 (P-1) = ZNLC-GF 50/85 is for P=-1 (more aggressive). RGBM Fused 2 (P1) = ZNLC-GF 40/75 is for P=1 (more conservative). Of cause, it's the approximate comparison. This time I increased the BT a bit, I...

    50/80. Thank you. I corrected the post.

    I compared Fused RGBM 2 (personal=0) with Buhlmann GF. As an example, I used a 50 m dive with the 15 min bottom time. For simplicity, I used 10 m/min for the ascend/descent rate. DM5 shows this profile for Fused RGBM 2 (personal=0): In the tabular form: I played with the GF values and it...

    Suunto Eon Core Upgrade

    I could not upgrade via DM5. I had to install SuuntoLink, which seems to be the app just for upgrades.

    I've just updated my EON Core with the new version 2.0 without any problems. I see that the algorithm is Fused RGBM 2 now. There is a new option: continuous decompression, or 3-m steps.

    Suunto RGBM vs Buhlmann ZHL-C

    Thank you, I'll check his blog. Yes, I'm aware that the thread is old, but the topic is still hot. He is the quote from the article link that I posted above: "ZHL-16C could be adjusted to pass all of the tests with GF-Hi < = 70 and GF-Lo > = 55. Suunto-RGBM could be made to pass all of the...

    Is the deco diving still prohibited in the Maldives?

    High SAC reported at the beginning of dive

    My gut feeling is that the computer SAC calculation is skewed during the descent. SAC = dV/dt / D(t). If the depth D (expressed in atm) changes with time t rapidly, comparing to the pressure sampling rate, the SAC calculation will be off.

    High SAC reported at the beginning of dive

    I'll check the tank cooling next time in the pool breathing from the regulator on the surface for 5 min before descending.

    High SAC reported at the beginning of dive

    Here is the tec dive with the dry suit and heavy gear at Blue Hole in Dahab: Again, I see that the high SAC rate coincided with the descent. We spend more then 10 minutes at the surface before starting the descent. I think that rules out the drop in the tank pressure due to the temperature.

    High SAC reported at the beginning of dive

    I'm using a Suunto Eon Core computer with the transmitter for several months by now. I noticed that it reports a very high SAC rate at the beginning of every dive. Sometimes, the initial SAC rate is as high as 80 l/min. I wonder what can be the reason for that? Here is an example of a pool...

    Best way to don/doff harness

    What's the best way to put on a harness, the right arm first, or the left arm first? I'm using a BP/W with a single piece harness and a single tank. It's definitely the right arm first if I'm diving in a wet suit. Both of the regulator hoses are on the right and I make sure that they run...

    Suunto Eon Core

    It has the Bluetooth synchronization with the smartphone. I love this feature. You need to install the Suunto app to your phone. It automatically syncs with the phone after the dive. In addition, it has DM5 software for PC/Mac. It provides more detailed info about the dive. It also allows to...

    Should I store a drysuit with the completely closed zipper?

    I've got the reply from Waterproof customer support: "The TIZIP should be stored closed in order to protect the zipper from dirt and damage, and also prevent it from becoming bent/disformed." It does not say anything about the docking end, although I explicitly asked them about it.
