    I hope the OP's subsequent absence from the forum is not for the same reason that his computer was unhappy !! Regards Richard

    Custom white balance

    1. I absolutely agree that not all PG's are looking to get the true colour and that some would like some attempt to achieve a different "effect". Reading the OP's posts however, it appears that the OP is disappointed that the correction attempt has not resulted in a true colour result. Hence...

    Custom white balance

    Hi there, Lot's of great advice here in the Forum as usual. Some basic things to remember; 1. In order for White Balance Correction to have the desired effect, the entire spectrum of light must reach the sensor/film in the camera. Anything less will produce an incorrect colour reproduction...

    Pony Bottle Recommendations

    My 2c I agree that to "judge" the concept of a second source of air under whatever circumstances the OP describes is off topic and out of scope of the question. If the second supply is only intended for use as a back-up measure (not extended dive time) then the calculation should be based on...

    Just finished "fatal depths"

    It's a good read. I found it to be a good reminder of how easily things can go wrong and how one should never get too complacent underwater. Regards Richard

    Help with Galileo Sol and Mac infrared interface

    Hi there, I know this is a little after the fact, but here you go anyway. This was probably the biggest disappointment regarding the Uwatec Galileo Sol. It only uses IRDA to transmit/receive data. The problem is there is no IRDA support in Mac anymore (apparently due to security issues...

    Not understanding the long hose thing

    Having other people be in control of your hose is OK, if they are experienced. If not, it can be painfull and expensive. The downside of having a long hose is those who need access to a hose may default to the diver with a [-]bigger [/-] longer one and that can become tedious. :) Best...

    Anybody diving a Uwatec Galileo SOL?

    Regarding PDIS, I strive to comply/follow it on all dives. I understand the theory and there is no negative impact and potentially positive impact. The nice thing is that if you need to blow it, you are still well within the (generally accepted) margins of safety anyway. Just my 2c...

    Not understanding the long hose thing

    This is a re-post of a thread I started a while back. I was going to shorten it for brevity, but then decided that any attempt to shorten it may make it unclear. Anyway, the result of all this was me changing to a 7' hose as a primary. Enjoy... Best Regards Richard I have just returned...

    Koh Tao - Is this the right place for us?

    Let me ask this then; When Stevenl says "Don't expect too much from the diving", it is not dead under the water is it? There is life and enjoyable dive opportunities, Kreepy Crawlies and fish .... Regards Richard

    Koh Tao - Is this the right place for us?

    stevenl, that is a valuable perspective. That being the case, it may be better for my wife and I to do our rescue course while the kids do OW (10 days-ish), and then move to another Island? Panang or Samui perhaps. Any thoughts on this approach? Best Regards
