Hey rebreather community, I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me find some info I was reading a while back (1-2 years ago), but google seems to no longer return the search hit. There was a forum post, albeit on a completely different forum to SB, where a rebreather diver had posted his...

As a side note, there is a bug on the Garmins where by they over read on the PPo2. It's pretty obvious if you set the Oxygen percentage to 100% and then put the watch in dive mode at sea level, and the PPo2 will read 1.10, which is impossible. This also affects deco time too, so it's not just a...

Actually I already did all the mods mentioned here, with two piezo switches (one for white light and one for colour) and drilled two new holes for RGB LEDs which I JBwelded in place, for the battery status. Also soldered an additional copper ring onto the existing one on the board, to give it...

Suspect the feeling less tired after diving using Nitrox / deco stops with deco mixes is due to less microbubble load on your system, and hence less immune system reaction. On the opposite end of that spectrum, I find if I get my CNS to 20% or above on a single dive using Nitrox, I get CNS...

Unsure at this point. As someone else pointed out, I had another topic on the go about maxing out Po2 on the rebreather to minimise risk from a P.F.O. Off gassing using a strong EN mix seems to work quite well for me, but I'd prefer the theoretical extra safety margin from the rebreather -...

Thanks for the input guys, I don't want this to get off topic about why I might want to dive on OC with "up to" 100% O2 (actually about 60% works better for me), but to put it simply, my physiology is different than most, so anyone saying "it's pointless on a recreational dive" clearly has never...

Hello, I searched online for the answer to this question but couldn't spot anything so thought I'd ask on here. Does anyone know, if you complete the TDI CC Rebreather (Air Diluent) non-deco, since the rebreather is injecting pure oxygen into the loop, does this mean you also earn the Advanced...

That would be great, however my Sea frogs RX100 VII (60m) housing does not have the port for the VPS-100, or any port for that matter.

I currently have a sea frogs housing for my RX100 VII. It does come with leak detection, however after having the odd small leak from either grit in the o-rings or the button o-rings requiring a clean, I tend to find I don't really notice the onboard moisture detection systems beep or small LED...

The SSI app is crap anyway. Subsurface for the win, although to import from Garmin is a manual file copy process from my experience (Descent G1) over usb, but it doesn't really bother me too much as I just copy them over 5-10 at a time. We asked SSI at a recent feedback meeting regarding...

Solution: change the display to battery % instead of the horribly inaccurate "battery time remaining" estimation the G1 displays by default. I wear my G1 solar as a daily watch and dive regularly, it uses between 5-10% per dive, and my dives are long dives, around 1-1.5 hours (in comparison to...

Thanks for the dive log. I had also carried out some dive planning regarding the rebreather and could see that descending below a certain depth (dependant on setpoint) would result in a higher PPN2 than for example a 32% Nitrox mix. Hopefully I can try the rebreather again with the added...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I had also considered that the symptoms of PFO were usually reported either on ascent, or very shortly after surfacing. I'm also aware that it's not an exact science, so I'm keeping an open mind in that regards. Usually, I'm fine on the dive, but I start to...

Thanks for the replies so far. As mentioned previously, I don't want this to turn into another topic discussing PFOs - those topics already exist on ScubaBoard. If you are all curious about my symptoms - it's mostly been feeling tired / ill after diving, and more recently aching joints. I have...

I've spoken to the odd member (and experts) about this already via PM, but wanted to ask a wider audience about their experiences as I couldn't see this specific question being asked. After visiting the chamber multiple times with DCS issues, I finally carried out a bubble study the other day...

Holy-thread-argument! :giggle: I read through some of this thread, but not all of it. Interestingly I was having this conversation with DAN, in the interests of diving more conservatively, they recommend (as part of other items) diving with two computers running the same algorithm, but one is...

Hello, As the title says, looking to buy a Choptima, complete with Nerd2. I don't need the O2 bottle, but would need to see the list of options and the usual details such as hours on the unit etc. SL

How was it that you were able to disassemble the rear housing?

Are they really that complicated inside that a local appliance technician couldn't take a look at the circuit boards for any potential electrical issues? Was always under the assumption the DPV was pretty straight forward inside, the sealing from the pressure being the complicated bit from an...

You shouldn't need to do a gas switch. I run my Teric with sidemount mode enabled. Not only does it give me accurate SAC during the dive, but also Subsurface shows my SAC once I select the tank size. No need for gas switches or anything. Edit: I'm running Subsurface on Windows, and the...
