Hi all my advice for you if its not to late is to stick with the mosquito. It gives you all you need both underwater and in surface plus very important it works on RGBM which is currently the safest algorithm for decompression, as opposed to many other which work on modified Buhlman or other...

Hi, I'm just gonna dive with it in all its modes in various dives from course dives, fun dives and tech dives. So far it look good. In a deco dive it gave me the same deco stops as the nitek-3 besides the fact that it clears slower than the nitek when not exactly at the ceilings depth. It...

Hi guys, As an instructor I was asked to try out the new Mares M1. Has anyone tried it already? I want to know what to look for. thanks Danny!

Hi Again, As I know the most common theory on this subject is the Mayer Overton hypothesis dating 100 years ago and has to do with anestethycs. In general as I was once explained, N2 causes the release of proteins from a layer surrounding the nerve cells, which sattels in the synapsess...

Hi Jmsdiver, For an insight on Nitrogen Narcosis I would advise reading the chapter on inert gas narcosis in Bennet & Eliot, "Phisiology and medicine of diving" Besides that, the know symthomps of N2 Narcosis are: Euphoria, Hearing disturbances- Music, knockings, ringing, increased...

Hi Dr Deco, Do you know by any chance where can I find the Dr. X decompression planning software. Or at least the concepts of its algorithm. I'm writing an article for an Israeli diving magazine on decompression planning for tech diving and I'd like to write about Dr. X too since I've seen...

Hi guys, what dive lights do you recommand for technical dives, wreck diving and etc' (long dives). It needs to be rechargeable (power pack not batteries),powerfull, head worn (an option at least), optional HID. Preferable also other than NiteRider. Thanks Danny

Hi, One of my students in a technical diving course, said that he had heard of a formula to convert shellow deco stops for deeper one. For example in case pf high seas to convert a 3 meters deco stop to a 6 meters deco stop. Is there sucha a formula? Thank you danny

Hi Steve, I've been using Dive Rite Nitek 3 for any technical diving. It has 3 mixex up to 100 meters an a gauge mode up to 200. It's a very good computer even though it's extremely conservative. The abyss explorer seems to be very good also but it has to few dives on it yet and Chriss...

Hi Brad (atmox) You got it right I do use for my tech dives independet doubles. My inflator comes normnaly or crossed depends, I still haven't desided which is more comfortable. I'm using the super wings so I have two inflators. I also tied together the inflator and the pressure gage together...

Hi Atmox, I use this configuration since it's more comfortable to have one reg from each side. My deco mix is on the front and this way I know that when I take it's reg ther's no way I can get confused and breath the wrong mix. Also in case I need back one of the bottom mix regs or I...

The reason I'd like my reg to come from the left, is quite simple. While diving with doubles I like having one reg from the right and one reg from the left. I hang both of them on a bungy chord oround my neck and its very comfortable. Danny

Hi Tavi, The integrated weights work just fine, especially with twin tanks on the back, they blance you just right so you can stand vertically. I use a belt only when I teach open water courses just to set an example. Danny

Hi Sue, as a nitrox instructor, the answer depend on whos course are you taking. If your nitrox course is given by TDI, IANTD, or other recreational divinng federations (PADI, SSI, NAUI etc') than the answer is no since they don't certify you on the basic level to dive with more than 40%...

Dear Tavi I've been diving 8ith the Trans-Pac II and a Dive Rite reg with a DIN connection and a Yoke convertor. I never had problems with bumping my head nor with the reg disturbing the wings. In my opinion you could move the wings a bit lower. Try to keep the first tank strap abot...

To all who is interested I found the bottom timer. The new beuchat MCD II is compatible for dep dives beyond 100 m' (even though not published in the site. The data was given directly by the manufactor) Danny

Hi Eric, I haven't decided yet. I have the NItek 3 which is a bottom timer for 200 m. This is why I don't want to buy a new computer so quickly. I'm still looking for a bottom timer neto. It's also important for the club I work in to bring something that is available on the market so other...

Hi, I've been diving with the rg-1200 for a while now and it's quite a good reg' even though the apex, zeagle and aqua-lung are as good if not a bit better. The main flaw I found is that you can't switch it to left side if you're on a tek dive and you want one reg from each side. As for...

Hi Eric Thanks for the advice but unfortunately as you stated the OMS/Uwatec as so many others go only to 100 m' (328 feet) and the vyper and nitek 3 and some other computers do go deeper bur they are computeres and are not worthy of buying and selling as bottom timers as it comes to the...

Hi Guys, I'm Looking for a bottom timer for deep trimix dives (deeper than 100m'). I'm not looking for an old computer to be used as a bottom timer but for something that could be found on the market for my fellow divers to find also. Also it has to be a bottom timer only and not a computer...
