You're correct... I found the thread: http://www.scubaboard.com/t56612.html It's a shame really, I don't like the new second stages near as much as the abyss. It sounded like the abyss was going to be discontinued some time back, but it seemed (maybe it was just me hoping) like the depth...

Head's oms website also doesn't show the reg as discontinued. This is a system through which Mares/Dacor dealers can place orders online.

Private forum, so I wasn't too worried, since there is no right. My comment was more about sarcasm and a belittling attitude to your post. I get just about as much as I can handle in other forums.. We don't need or want it here. If I'm incorrect and read it wrong, I apologize. I'd say it's...

Where's the alarmists? Who's in a panic? I've seen enough dark movies where everyone's dead at the end lately. I choose not to see another. Others have said the movie looks scary. It seems to be marketed that way, so it's hardly surprising that they'd have that opinion. I haven't seen...

I think the point is just where 'making money' occurs in your list of important things when making the movie. I think you'd agree if your main goal is to tell a good story, your movie might be more entertaining than if your main goal in making a movie is to make money. The two things aren't...

I'm sure it happens often enough. The difference in this particular case was that the operators waiting something like 51 hours before informing authorities, ignored an extra dive bag (containing keys, wallet, etc.) and the absence of 2 tanks and weight belts, etc. The series of events is what...

I could be a year into law school, but the timing of the end of my previous job was just past most application deadlines.... :( LSAT is another test to look into. It's pencil and paper, not computer adaptive like the newer GRE..

I'd have to concur with this. If at all possible, stay in school for a while longer and see if you can wait for this supposed economic growth of which politicians speak. It's sounds like you have lots of good experience and skills, which is definitely a plus. However, from my experience...

Now I know who I can hand-off all that web crap at OHS to when I go off to law school. Glad you saw fit to post this Ron... :)

Is there a mode that you can put it in where it only calculates NDLs, etc from 1 gas supply? You'd think it would give some sort of error if all 3 gases are being drained at the same time, but I guess not. I'd assume that you're breathing air with students, but with Nitrox, this would get...

Duh... You live in the USA, not India... ;) (couldn't resist)

I think, primarily, just one.. Thomas and Eileen Lonergan were left ~6km from land in the Great Barrier Reef in 1998. They never really found much of their remains, so I figure that Open Water is going to be 2 hours of them stranded on the surface, followed by some gruesome death, followed...

BS Electrical Engineering from Purdue, worked in TX since '96 in the computer biz (Compaq, Dell, AMD, etc.) doing a variety of things. Enjoyed the jobs immensely until the last few years where we've gone from employee empowerment to 'you're lucky to work here'. I'm starting my JD at University...

True - in fact, I can remember my SSI open water class saying 'diving is an equipment intensive sport'. I read that to mean it was expensive.. However, the example you used isn't exactly on point. You have to consider both the cost of the maintenance AND the cost of replacement. It seems...

My post was more a reply to freeflyer. It reads like there has been some native Mac work done already for the suunto devices. The point of the thread seemed to be regarding dive computers in general, not just your particular suunto. It also seemed to be aimed at native dive computer...

To be honest, if you mac guys are interested in software, you should ask those companies who make USB compatible computers for some documentation on how to interface (command sequence, etc.) with their computers via USB. If you can't do the development, at least you can save the developer from...

I've taught countless swimming lessons over the years, since as a competitive swimmer, I lived at the pool year round from ~10-18. Knowing how to swim and how to swim fast are 2 substantially different things. One of the most basic problems with most people's stroke (for freestyle/front...

Problem is, it's more complicated than you think. In addition, Radio Shack couldn't sell you a straight USB cable for $10, let alone one that could hook to your dive computer. 6' USB cables are $24 on their website. Considering I can find the same thing online for less than $5, THAT's a...

Genesis would have been dissappointed that he's not doing the reg service himself though... :)

I can get local service for $35-$45, parts covered and I don't have to hope that they make it through shipping there and back unscathed. They do if it's broken. Again, it's easier to take it to an LDS than it is to ship it to you. My comments weren't regarding annual service for anything...
