    The curse of the early adopter.

    New Apple Watch is a dive computer

    In my opinion, newer or infrequent divers are probably better off not having to worry about Nitrox settings. I am fine with separate Air and Nitrox modes as long as the app can be configured to default to Nitrox mode with whatever appropriate O2% and ppO2 settings for those of us who choose that.

    Ray Maker (DCRainmaker) does an in-depth (sorry!) look at the whole EN13319 certification process for the  Watch Ultra in the Certification and Testing section of his Oceanic+ app review...

    New Apple Watch is a dive computer

    It’s also available from the initial “hello“ screen by long pressing the “i” in the bottom right hand corner, but someone would have to reset the phone first, which they can’t do with activation lock set i.e. with the Find My feature turned on. With Find My, the owner can locate their lost...

    New Apple Watch is a dive computer

    That’s what the “Find My” feature is for. It’s owner initiated. If you’d like someone to be able to recover their lost iPhone, make sure it has some amount of charge and put it somewhere within one bar of cell service.

    New Apple Watch is a dive computer

    😂 It’s like you Rip van Winkle’d straight out of a ‘90s Usenet group. Newsflash: Literally nobody cares what you think about their computer or phone.

    BP/W - Crotch Strap - Slide Release or just the loop???

    If you’re doing this specifically for DIR reasons, such as taking a Fundies class (?), it’s probably best to read the book, or ask in a DIR forum so you can start with the right gear. Equipment choices are all part of a well thought out system, one that may not be obvious at first glance. Many...

    So... Is the Roatan Aggressor

    ... an overhauled Bay Island Aggressor or a new boat? Inquiring minds want to know!

    TSandM -- Lynne Flaherty

    I don't know what to say. I don't come to SB often these days (really ever, anymore). For some reason I thought I might stop in to the forums tonight, on the anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and saw a reference to this. Just. Wow. Reading through some of the early posts, where...

    Scubapro MK25 'EVO' vs MK25

    SCUBAPRO - MK25 EVO/S600 Looks like Scubapro has made changes to the MK25 first stage, supposed to have something called XTIS (Extended Thermal Insulating System): "with mechanism fully insulated from the environment, improves cold water/ freezing resistance without compromising piston...

    Halcyon Infinity good choice BP ?

    I think socks don't go with sandals. :eyebrow:

    Halcyon Infinity good choice BP ?

    Bling? Following that line of thinking (if one is good, two have to be better!), why not four? :rofl3: This is just more of the same, marketing to novice divers who don't know what they want (and what they don't).

    Draft code of practice for Belize.

    In my case, my PADI AOW and OW manuals, respectively.

    Why is a Jacket BC better than a BP/W?

    It's been a few years since I was the only BP/W diver on a trip, whether liveaboard or dive resort. I don't see them being as rare as some of you guys are making them out to be. There were four on my last Aggressor trip, and half a dozen at CCV this Spring.

    What length "Long Hose" for Single Tank w/ Pony setup?

    Assuming the OOA diver has their wits about them, which can be a pretty big "if". That's what the modified S-drill is designed to sort out, at the beginning of every dive. Hopefully the OP would learn that as part of how to route the long hose.

    Petrel v. Vyper :)

    I disagree, I don't think it's an invalid test at all. There are a lot of recreational divers who do 4+ Nitrox dives per day for a week on a liveaboard, etc. and those are exactly the people who would be "penalized" by the Suunto model for repetitive dives. If anything, I'd like to see what...
