    Temperatures in Maldives during May

    I just got back at the beginning of April. Water temp 84F, Air temp high of 85F, low of 80F. I dove .5 mil, some dove in shorts and Hawaiian shirts. I realize its get colder, but at 5 degrees from the Equator, I wouldn't expect too much of a variation. You always layer.

    A gas loss non-emergency

    Torque Wrench for open ended tools Not sure about a tool specific for reg hoses ( I just do mine by feel), but in other applications, the open wrench has a square hole in it like this one for the socket wrench to fit into.

    Where to Get Reg Serviced

    Changing the battery on a Sunnto is easy as well. Battery costs a few bucks and as the o-ring is in good shape you are good to go. I have had a Vyper and Cobra for over a decade with the same o-ring (not suggested, just saying).

    Sola 1200 review

    I happy to say a quick email to/from Tech Support got my 'dead' Sola 1200 back up quickly. Apparently they have a 'sleep' feature that, if the light is allowed to discharge to too low a level, prevents it from waking up to take a charge. Striking/stroking the terminals of the charger across...

    Sola 1200 review

    Bought two Sola 1200s in October of last year. Charged both and then stored until now. One turns on, the other is dead the charger doesn't seem to recognize the light as it remains with a green light on while the other is red as its charging. Disappointment as I head to La Paz on Wed.

    Full face scuba Mask?

    Not sure what you mean by complicating 1st stages. As for looking around and see what people use, I don't think that necessarily applies with FFMs. Like all equipment, there is a time and place for FFMs. You don't see many people diving FFMs recreationally, because (1) no recreational...

    PADI Master Scuba Diver "Crew-Pak" Questions

    Depending on how they are taught, the specialties you are MOST likely to get something out of are Search & Recovery (you will learn how to use a reel, improved navigation), Deep (you should learn gas management, dive planning), Enriched Air (you have), Peak Performance Buoyancy (in theory, you...

    Full face scuba Mask?

    While I have only dived a couple of different FFMs, I think Elmer got most of the high points. To upsides I would add environmental protection - which would include warmth, but could include contaminants if done properly. To downsides, I edit that depending on which FFM you may not have to...

    As Seen on TV?

    The red thing is a microphone, it's an EMA-2 from Ocean Technology Systems. I was watching the Arctic episode and didn't see the extra bottle, but they were diving dry suits so it might have been an Argon bottle. I am recording the series now (thanks), and will keep an eye out.

    Nitrox Tank used first or last?

    As Red 5 pointed out, the first dive can only safely be done with in recreational dive limits on EAN, so its a moot point. He can't dive AIR either dive with that profile.
