As Paul mentions, having a short, easy to remember mnemonic is a good way to be consistent, and to run through it every time. Also, as fsardone mentions, checklists thrive in the world of aviation :D I am also a pilot (private, IR). Even then, I use mnemonics for almost everything. b.

I'd think the issue could be some sort of liability problem since the "guide", acting as an agent of the dive operator, wouldn't necessarily be able to affect a rescue of a diver in unknown gear.

I personally don't like the omni swivel for anything that absolutely must work and must put up with bad conditions. The 110* adapter etc work really well though.

Some points for clarification 1) Daren was an excellent diver who paid a great deal of attention to detail. 2) He always planned his bailout strategy for one - himself. 3) He typically used a lift-bag during deco at the quarry just to practice deployment. Deploying while on a rebreather is a...

All, There is a new version of iDeco Pro available on the AppStore. This version includes: 1) All settings available inside the app. You don't have to leave the app anymore. 2) Fix the big delay when tapping a dive to set/change it. It's practically instant now. 3) Changed UI to a...

So long as you use your same iTunes account, you don't pay again. Anyone can replace their iPhone/iPod touch and download all of their applications again, free of charge. As for VPM, although I have a significant amount of work into it, I've been entirely and utterly wrapped up with my day...

All, Based on feedback from customers, I've made some changes to iScubaPlan. The most obvious change is that iScubaPlan now shows the exact surface interval as a number. A really good comment was posted in the feedback for iScubaPlan that pointed to this feature being needed. This is a...

All, I've released another update to iDeco Pro targeted at CCR divers. Now, when planning a multi-level dive, you can double-tap a leg to set the CCR bailout point. With the additions from 1.1, you can now do full multi-level planning, even when shallower legs require decompression to...

Post copied to T2T All, I've released another update to iDeco Pro targeted at CCR divers. Now, when planning a multi-level dive, you can double-tap a leg to set the CCR bailout point. With the additions from 1.1, you can now do full multi-level planning, even when shallower legs...

Me and the fam will probably be there, so long as the weather doesn't get colder. b.

Those pictures were taken at 3 different blue holes in Cay Sal Bank, Bahamas. And you're correct, 2 of them appear in the latest edition of ADM. One of those dives was 250' (first pic), one was 400+ (I was finishing my deco on the hang bar), and one was 500+ (me and my teammate returning from...

A few dives come to mind for different aspects: 1 - Silver Sides Blue Hole - Cay Sal Bank - Extremely Deep - CCR - Did this dive with support divers and my teammate was a very gracious, very experienced, well known diver. The decompression alone was nearly 3 hours. 2 - Oriskany - Pensacola FL...

Really?? This is a real product? Pre-stressed plastic hardware? How do you tell if hairline crack is real? A "designer styled repair patch"? Pre-oxidized, uncoated brass D-rings? Those should wear the webbing out quick. Webbing has aged appearance? Seriously? How do I tell when it's...

Cool pics. I'm jealous too :D Your sidemount looks like its serving you well, too.

It does, in fact, change the parameters. This is because m-values & GF's are factored off pN2 (and pHe) of inspired gas compared to ambient. If the inspired gas changes from one depth to the next (a switch to O2 at 20ft), the inspired pN2 and pHe will be different. (btw, this same area of gas...

John, Most algorithms predict the gas switch. For example, in iDeco (which uses a Bühlmann 16 w/ GF) if the next deco stop's GF is 50%, the algorithm will keep you at your deeper depth until you would arrive at the shallower depth *on the new gas* at the prescribed GF. You can see this...

This is only correct during the week. Their normal weekend hours remain unchanged. They are OPEN this weekend and next weekend. b.

I just spoke to the owners yesterday. He said they are closed during the week, but OPEN over the weekend. So that is this weekend, and next weekend. b.
