A (slightly) new one to me but it makes sense. One hand palm down moved from side to side to me means level off. Lifting it higher and repeating isn't one I've seen used before. Is there a signal you use to indicate the specific depth to ascend to?

Hi, I have found that there are no standard torch signalling gestures used when night diving. The signal for "OK" (slow circular movement of the torch) appears to be used across the board. However, the sign for getting a buddy's attention and the one for signalling an emergency situation tend...

I'm looking for clarification and (hopefully) consensus on the hand signal to be used to terminate a dive. There seem to be a few options but none are, in my opinion, ideal and create a chance for miscommunication which can in turn lead to trouble underwater. Firstly, there is the "thumbs up"...

I've just changed from a back mounted 3l (Ali) to a 7l side-slung (steel) cylinder. I carry a pony solely as an emergency precaution. In my case the question I asked myself was would a 3 litre cylinder hold enough gas to get me to the surface from 50m breathing heavily and with a possible deco...

Im sure this is just an anomaly. If I don't get anywhere with the agents I will go directly to Shearwater. I still believe theirs to be a premium brand.

Narked at 90 have now emailed back with a copy and pasted standard response. Attached is a two page form to complete and scan and then email back to them. I must then also include a hard copy of this form with the dive computer when I sent it back to them all AT MY OWN EXPENSE. The number of...

Agreed! I upgraded to v84 on the 2nd of August. I know there have been worldwide battery supply issues recently but that does not mean I'm willing to compromise on my personal safety. As we all know, a dive computer is an essential piece of equipment these days. Yes, I carry a backup computer on...

I'm very good at keeping my tech updated. It's been running v84 since I updated on the 2nd of August. I bought it from another supplier but all they did the first time I had battery failure is send it to Narked. I cut out the middle man this time and went to Narked directly but have kept the...

I've finally received a response from Narked at 90 (the UK Shearwater agents). All it said was"Have you upgraded to the latest firmware?". They had the unit a month ago!! Didn't they check the firmware version then??!! No empathy shown either. e.g. "Sorry you are having this problem yet again. I...

Thanks for the info. It gives me a great benchmark and strengthens my argument (hopefully won't come to that). My Peregrine wouldn't switch on yesterday which means it lasts a total of 7 days when off.

The computer is only 6 months old. It's going to void the warrantee if I start messing with it. Then I won't have a leg to stand on.

Hi, I bought a Shearwater Peregrine in April this year. After a short while I realised the battery didn't last more than a few days in standby (i.e. not being switched on at all). I returned it to NarkedAt90 who are the Shearwater agents here in the UK and they quickly replaced the battery and...
