I dive up in Hood Canal 3 or so times a month depending on how many classes I have going and how much I can get out for fun dives.
I own some property up there so I usually try to do multi-day dive trips.
I am looking to pick up a pair of Inon strobes --- Does anyone think there will be a sale on them this fall?
If some reseller wants to send me a price via private message for a pair I'd certainly be interested.
Are there any other strobes I should consider?
Looking for something affordable :)...
I only had 1 (and my phone) -- No idea how many they would allow you to bring in.
I guess they are looking for resellers of cameras getting around some sort of tax on imported equipment.
Do you think the training(testing) of the CESA needs to be done in Open Water or can a diver be trained well enough for a CESA in confined water (pool/horizontal) only?
Reading thru the WRSTC standards it doesn't appear they require a CESA specifically.
My part of the USA has about 99% of the people wearing masks in public.
I don't know about the rest of the USA but here in the PNW people are honestly giving it a go.
Howdy!
Has anyone used the Kraken KR-S02 Strobes?
I have a pair of them and trying to diagnose an issue with them with the company but wanted to also check with some other owners about it.
They are nice strobes and I know Kraken will have a winner here once this gets debugged out.
Well its all knowledge and you certainly will find questions like this on the IDC exams. I don't think they cover much in terms of dive planning or gas use -- If I remember right.
Well one is off to the manufacture in Singapore for a fix -- They said this is a problem they have seen before and know the fix.
I just hope I get the strobe back sometime......
They need a USA service center -- It was $60 to send this in :(
I got 2 of these in May 2019.
Both of them developed an issue where they would fire a flash then not fire again until I reset the unit.
One right away -- Other one after maybe 20 dives.
The place I purchased them from replaced both of them with new units.
The place I purchased them from also...
I am not sure why the cloud couldn't just have been hooked up to the desktop app.
I find the desktop app works better for me but I know they will keep improving the cloud version and get it caught up.
I just wish the cloud version had an option so it wasn't a dark color.
I wrote a little report about my IDC experience - http://nwdivers.me/blog/padi-idc-at-buddy-dive-in-bonaire/
I've also heard the IDC class is finally getting a complete make over after DEMA this year.
Sorely needed -- While the classes thru PADI have been pushing elearning the IDC has been...
3 people where on the same boat as me doing a discover dive a couple days ago and the class looked pretty complete. I think they charge $190
They spent some time in the shallows by the dock and then went on a boat dive.
3 students and 1 instructor at Cozumel Palace with Aqua safari. I was...
Is there a shop close to cozumel palace resort where I can buy a few Desicant packs for my underwater camera?
Camera body fogging up a little and forgot my spares.
Ok this one is weird and never heard of it before.
Girlfriend using a rental regulator.
Rented from a dive shop I trust and I know they service the gear on schedule.
2nd dive of the day about 1/2 way thru the dive and 40 feet deep.
The regulator starts acting like the tank is not open all...
Besides my eyes liking the non-dark interface of the older "Desktop" (Yes I know dark is all the rage but I don't like being forced into dark mode) -- How do you update the firmware, Start up text and start up image on the computer? I haven't found those functions in the Cloud version yet.
