I was reading through the Manual for the Petrel 3 (ahead of maybe buying one for either my Choptima or rEvo) and I got a touch excited that Shearwater have now made a provision for Semi Close Mode and Bailout Rebreather Mode on the computer. My only question is am I reading their Manual...

Hi, I'm planning some trips to Truk and Bikini this year and I was wondering if anybody had views about the merits of a PLB or EPIRB's that work in remote locations and if so what is the best sort of cannisters to store in whilst diving. I have a Nautilus Lifeline Direct which I could take...

I know that I sound like I am very unobservant; but a couple of years ago I bought what I thought was supposed to be a 30lb Halcyon Infinity BCD with steel backplate and the full backpad covering the backplate and it had the single tank adapter. Yesterday whilst putting together a set of...

At last week's local dive club AGM, I was discussing recent events, where training exercises at local dams/quarries had resulted in several Hypercapnia events. I'm doing the gas planning for a similar dam dive this weekend (without the obvious training stress), and I'm uber-sensitive to "what...

@tbone1004 I read on you other posts that you tend to run a lower set point @ 1.2 on your CCR. Are you proposing for a 30 m dive to run a rich dil higher than your high setpoint and breathe it down? I was taught to target a dil mix with 1.1 PpO2 at max depth, when I asked why not 1.0 or 1.2 I...

Hi guys, Went diving yesterday and performed backroll off back of boat. Had a flood after my second dive, I'm not certain what the problem was and I will do a build/close check tonight to see if the unit will still hold neg. What are your thoughts on this type of entry for rEvo specifically...

Hi All, I recently (May 2019) completed a Fundies course in Sydney, I didn't smash it, however I did come back to Perth and firstly, buy a Back Plate & Wing (BP/Wing) plus Jet Fins and secondly, commit to some bottom of the pool time, working on trim and buoyancy when task loaded. I hope to...
