    Need suggestions on small wristwatch-type dive computers and Suunto D4i

    I might need to make a slight change. My aunt called and said that the Aladin 2g might be too bulky to be used as a wristwatch for everyday use. She said that the salesperson suggested a Suunto D4i. Any reviews/opinions? As for the budget, my aunt said that she'll help cover the additional...

    Need suggestions on small wristwatch-type dive computers and Suunto D4i

    Will take these into account. Just need to narrow my list to 2 or 3, but that UWATEC is in there. Speaking of which, are the batteries user replacable? And can I get them at any watch shop?

    Need suggestions on small wristwatch-type dive computers and Suunto D4i

    Hehe, no idea what the price range is for the entry-level computers. Plus, I prefer to familiarize myself with a simple one first ... so when it's time to upgrade, I'll know what to look for (or, at the very least, have a better sense of this piece of tech). ScubaPro Uwatec Aladin 2G. I...

    Need suggestions on small wristwatch-type dive computers and Suunto D4i

    Hi! I plan to have my aunt get me a dive computer (was thinking a BCD, but it is a pain to lug around) while she is there. Any recommendations? Makes and models, as well as the specifics would be highly appreciated. The budget is around $100-$200. This would be my first dive computer. In the...

    X-Vision storage longevity

    I have been diving with an X-Vision ever since my open water days and have grown very much accustomed to it. I've recently purchased a third one for the sole purpose of storage. While I know that there is the possibility that I may switch to a newer mask somewhere along the road, I just want to...

    Stop whaling

    I hope this doesn't cause trouble: I think the post was intended to be a simple show of support for the marine ecosystem rather than stir/delve into the technical and messy political aspects. I may not fully comprehend the agenda of the person who started the signature drive but as a diver, I...

    Which Oly camera is best for a newbie ?

    Hi there! I own a stylus 400 and have been for more than a year now. Even though I still don't have its underwater housing (I use an U/W film camera with flash in the meantime), it has served me well on the surface. After surviving three falls (don't ask why), repeated water splashes (both fresh...

    What happens if I need to do this underwater, silly ?

    1. During my 2nd dive, I felt the urge to puke (well, the gag reflex was already triggered) but fortunately nothing came out. It was probably caused by my rapid headfirst descent plus the fact that I had a slight congestion. Anyway, I'm digressing... What I did to shake off the feeling was to...

    Mask/Panic Problems

    Hey Andi! I have also been certified earlier this month and I experienced the same problem during my first confined water session ... although mine was caused by an extreme reluctance to open my eyes in the water. It seriously hampered my learning progress to the point that I had to do 4 tries...

    Equalization: should I hear a pop?

    I also swallow to equalize :p For some reason the valsalva maneuver never worked for me underwater (plane rides of course are another thing). I don't know why. Weird, isn't it? Regarding the pop, I think it doesn't have to be a popping sound per se. Personally, I know I'm doing okay as long as I...
