The Nemo Air and the T3 have absolutely nothing in common--not so much as a USB cable. The Nemo is AI, but it's a console computer with a hose. And this happens on dives with no other electronics involved. Thinking back (it's been years since I used it), the Nemo may have been more than a...

I've used at least three different programs to download the logs, and they would all import identical, glitched, profiles. I've always assumed that most of the dive computers out there are extending the same basic firmware. I'm a talking about all those computers with the four-letter setting...

I've had three different computers over the past couple of years: a Mares Nemo Air, an Aeris T3 Elite, and an Oceanic VTX. The Nemo and the T3 both have the same annoying bug: they will randomly log a few depth points that are plainly wrong. Here's an example: Profile Glitch by Fish in a...

The nearest I ever came was when I failed to open my tank all the way during a drift dive in Coz. When I reached the bottom, at about 70 feet, I checked my computer and it was flashing "LOW AIR" and reading something absurd like 70PSI. I was a pretty new diver at this time so I had to reason...

When I first started, I would often have to control my panic on the first descent of a trip. I would get overwhelmed by that sense of being a tiny being in a very big ocean. For me, it helped to look down so that I could see the bottom and know that I wasn't descending into some depthless...

I've used a CRL03 for years with my Canon point-and-shoot in a housing. It dangles a little more than I'd like when clipped up, but it's worked perfectly well otherwise.

You would think, but I looked at the manual (PDF), and I don't see where it is defined. Edit: which I see Yellowdog already discovered.

After completing our pool dives, my instructor said we were ready for OW, but he offered to spend another morning in the pool with anyone who wanted it. At that point I was doing well, but there were a few skills I really didn't feel like I had down (oral inflation being the big one). That...

Yeah, the photos I've found of it online look very similar. Awesome, thanks!

I had a great week in Belize staying at Turneffe Flats. Here is an album of photos I took with my Canon S120 - Album. I really like this camera so far, and I think I'm getting great pictures considering I'm just shooting with ambient light and custom white balance. I think my biggest...

My last 30 dives have been with a hoseless AI computer (Aeris t3 Elite). I have had two dives where the computer briefly lost sync with the transmitter. Resyncing simply required holding my hand up by my head for a second so it could reconnect. If that hadn't worked, I would have ended the...

This was going to be my suggestion. I usually go to LP first simply because I know I can find what I'm looking for more quickly, and that's because of their sorting and filtering capabilities.

I used 2" 3M retro reflective tape that I bought off of Amazon. I put a big "A" on the bottom of each fin since my name's AAron. The tape does NOT like to stick to rubber, so I was a little worried, since my fins are a mix of rubber and plastic. There's enough plastic that the tape has held...

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/18/world/americas/us-cuba-relations.html The important question is, how's the diving in Cuba? THIS thread is intended to discuss diving in Cuba. If you want to talk politics, there is another thread for that here ...

I log mainly for a record of equipment and conditions I can refer back to when making decisions on future dives. Should I bring the 3mm or the 5mm? Let me look in my log to see what I've used in the past and if I noted being cold. How much weight do I use with this combination of wetsuit...

I'd say that's accurate. As a recreational/vacation diver with 94 dives, I've never seen dive tables being consulted. Everyone has computers, and they generally just trust what the dive master tells them is a safe plan. This will probably dismay many readers on ScubaBoard, but that's the...

Diving with sea lions has been incredible fun. They are so playful! And fast! And curious! And agile! When they come up to you with those huge puppy-dog eyes, then pirouette and dart away, it's just so much fun! To them we probably resemble big, noisy manatees. The last night dive I did...

This was an issue for me when I first started diving, so I know how frustrating it is. In my case, it was because I was seriously over-weighted, so it doesn't sound like I have much to offer you. To me, it sounds like switching gear was counter-productive since it means you changed around a...

Cool. That's what I figured. I couldn't think of anything other than the depth readout that would be affected, and that's not critical. I figured I should probably ask, though, in case I was overlooking something.
