I don't wear a dive watch on every dive- I usually use a Petrel 2 or Garmin G1- but will sometimes wear one in addition to the dive computer. Just because. I've used my Casio G-Shock, Vostok Amphibia, and Citizen Ecozilla and all have worked just fine. Even though both of my aforementioned...

Can't remember the specific post but somebody talked about using a padded strap with a boltsnap at each end which was draped behind the neck and over the shoulders and then clipping the boltsnaps to neck chokers on each respective tank to carry them. Would still be heavy and perhaps too...

I had a gag strap on my rEvo DSV when I first bought it but stopped using it due to the difficulty in switching to my necklaced BO regulator. I did not have one on my Sport KISS which had the factory BOV and after diving with that several times wished I did have one due to jaw fatigue with the...

I'll PM you.

I have one but the battery is dead....

So... you dive deep air, don't get narked, and don't get winded. Truly, your accomplishments are admirable.

I'll second this. I found that the beginnings of CO2 retention due to gas density feel like impending doom/ anxiety in the center of the chest whereas full blown gas density issues on a CCR feels like you can't breath enough. On OC I found that overexertion on air at 80' while dragging a...

So... the phone housing hardware/ software is rated to 196' whereas the Apple Watch Ultra application limits you to 130' with the same application/ subscription?

Bungee through backplate and have the LM buttplate, but end up clipping to the waist D-rings since I'm using AL80's.

How is a bungee mount not meeting the requirement to readily switch between hands? Honest question. I use this with my canister light and can easily switch it between hands if needed- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5808852 Granted, it is used with a canister light and not a cordless light...

I think there is something to the intensifying of effects at pressure. I had one beer during a 1-1.5 hour surface interval while spearfishing in the gulf in about 75-80 feet of water and even though the small buzz appeared to have gone away by the time I jumped in for the second dive I felt...

You do test mv in air and o2 but the pressure pot allows you to bring the ppo2 up higher to check for linearity and current limiting at higher levels of o2. Like I said not as relevant outside the rebreather but still helps to gauge the health of the cell. That being said, they still can just...

That depends on how high a ppo2 you expect to read with the cells. If you take the rebreather out of the equation then you won't be analyzing anything higher than 100% o2. I built the pressure pot cell checker specifically for checking my rebreather cells but have found that it helps to get an...

I use the same o2 cells from my rebreather after they have been cycled out at the 12-18 month mark. For the analyzer, I always calibrate on dry air from a tank before analyzing the target tank. This might be OCD and unnecessary but I also check all my cells, those in the rebreather and the...

This has been my experience as well for the most part. I also have the Solar model and use it for daily wear and find that, depending on the notifications settings, I use about 2-3% per day of normal wear and 5-10% per dive. I find that the battery percentage drops faster on days where I...

What is the p-port at the bottom of the case for? I have the same unit minus that part.

I have used GoPros and a Paralenz with helmet mounting, DPV mounting, Speargun mounting, and a handheld camera tray with equally bad results due to my horrible video filming skills. The problem with the speargun and DPV mounts are that when you drop them to do something else or during a spear...

Agreed and thanks for the reply. I previously replaced the stock BOV which had the fabric one-way valves for just this reason after it was failing pre-dive tests and instead installed an unknown brand DSV which appears to be functioning perfectly. I also have a rEvo which is better suited for...

Fresh packed scrubber before the 100 mile drive to the spring during which it was upright. Mushroom valves were sealing like they should. Also, I was using a DPV so no real workload to speak of. I initially suspected channeling but, based on the WOB of this particular unit, am leaning towards...

Thank you all for the replies. I had wondered if gas density might be a factor. DSV appeared to be functioning well and mushroom valves were sealing like they should.
