    Question How old are you and how long certified? Poll- please take part!

    I have been diving for 43 Years and probably done about 350 dives and another 500 or so spearfishing trips while snorkeling.

    Question How old are you and how long certified? Poll- please take part!

    That Poll is probably seriously Skewed just like this one. It's mostly younger people who use Reddit, so it would not surprise me if 80% of the people that answered are under the Age of 40 and most probably only dive as part of vacation packages. This Poll is Skewed because most of the people...

    Question How old are you and how long certified? Poll- please take part!

    Could be a lot of reasons why, but I am leaning towards the fact that most of the easily accessible reefs in the world today look like crap! If your first vacation dive is not a great experience then you will probably not pursue the Hobby further. Jeez I remember some reefs in the Caribbean that...

    So did anyone ever go the extra mile and make something?

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    I have not been here in almost a year but wow it's nice to see that you guys did pick up the torch and have figured out the details. I look forward to seeing when someone gets a receiver made that can be dipped into the water and get readings from multiple transmitters. Personally I feel like...

    Reading Wireless Air Transmitter using Arduino

    Man I have not been here for months and I come back and see that some of you guys have been interested in carrying it further. I had taken some snap shots from the spectrum analyzer and it showed the first five or six header bits remained the same and the last 8 or so bits changing with the...

    Shearwater Teric as a Daily Watch

    We don't mean the replacement, we are asking when the battery/board in the original unit that you sent back was manufactured? If you don't know that, then when did you first buy the Teric?

    Shearwater Teric as a Daily Watch

    January was when they replaced your battery, not when they discovered a fix! When was your Teric manufactured? That would be the more relevant date.

    Atomic Aquatic Regulators.

    Meh I am not buying a regulator purely based on the availability of spare parts while abroad. There are numerous Islands you can go to where they have Zero spare parts for any brand of regulator. It's bad enough that most times the boat captains are salivating over my pack of spare O-Rings, I...

    Shearwater Teric as a Daily Watch

    They have figured it out! And Its not like anyone who had the problem has ever said that Shearwater gave them the run around, they have fixed the few unlucky peoples DC very quickly and in some cases sent out loaners to those going on vacation.

    Shearwater Teric as a Daily Watch

    MY Teric has been sitting on my desk for 140 Days and the battery is at 53%. You need to send yours back.

    Teric Battery Drain - When OFF

    I cannot see any reason why it would change significantly in the first year. Whatever problem you had was fixed and that should be the end of it. If these batteries are of the same quality as the LIion cells used in phones, you can expect the first three years to be pretty good and then a...

    Teric Battery Drain - When OFF

    If it's doing it again on a replacement battery I suspect the Battery is not the issue, it's probably a hardware problem that is draining the battery. No company would pick this up on the first repair but you can bet that they will be looking at the power draw on the second repair. My bet is...

    Teric Battery Drain - When OFF

    Mine has gone from 100% to 86% over a 55 day period. That is really good IMO considering that I have fiddled with it for at least 40 minutes during that time trying some settings and I have left on the AI the whole time. @ErikNYC I would not worry about it to much, it seems that they have the...

    Oceans subsonic computer

    Buddy Watcher seems like an idea that would only work if you and a friend dived alone. In a group dive I am pretty sure the other people would be pretty pissed off if they kept hearing high pitched sounds coming from you and your buddy. Plus it's $250 for what is really a fancy tank banger...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    Blackberry was the darling child of governments and CEO's who wanted security first and foremost. Apple was smart in that they did not play into Blackberry's strengths but instead first went after all their weaknesses. Once they had beaten them in every other category and had eliminated them...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    Whatever Shearwater thinks is appropriate. If I was doing it I would use a five digit code and just make it a maximum of 10 tries before you have to wait 6 hours to try another 10 again. You can still do everything like normal with the Teric during this 6 hour period but the OWNERS info in the...

    Shearwater Teric why no password system?

    You can unlock your iPhone by resetting it and restoring the backup data from your ITunes account. Good luck with Android :eek: it's not like they even pretend to secure your private info. I would much rather have an Apple phone that at least takes security and personal info seriously. It...

    Why don't commercial or SAT divers have an octo...?

    Yikes !! This one scared the Bejesus out of me. You don't expect to be gutted on the toilet! There are just way to many things that can go wrong when doing this kind of work and there are a hell of a lot easier ways to make a buck than doing this kind of job. I salute you Sir, your a lot...

    Oceans subsonic computer

    Agree, that is why YouTube videos from the guys who do them for the adverts really do not sway my decisions, but I do appreciate the raw info they provide. Oceanic does not have to give units away, they can loan them out for evaluation. I just don't think its a good plan to sit back and hope...
