Chipping in my personal experience. I had a 2013 Zoop from Leisurepro. Just this summer 2021 it started giving me an ERR and no depth reading during a dive. I also have an ancient mosquito which I just happened to be wearing that dive also. I prefered the mosquito to the zoop. I truthfully...

No my point is what if the bungee fails, and it does therefore run away? I guess that would be when you buddy would need to help.

Thanks for the responses. Naturally this was a failure to predive check. There was no finding that hose. It was simply.out of reach. The dss inflator hose is also centrally mounted and thus somewhat obscured by the 1st stage. Some suggested a retainer which I do use. Has anyone here...

Hi gear heads - I recently had a mishap in which my inflator hose disconnect after backrolling in. I have a DSS wing with 13" hose. Plate with 5' long hose primary and 22" secondary on necklace. This was a somewhat risky situation since I was in a deep bottom situation and I was overweighted...

Yes, after my co2 hit I actually had my pulmonary system examined by a doctor, which was very informative. All of our pulmonary systems perform at a set level of efficiency for O2 absorbtion and CO2 elimination. At depth the amount of work (diaphram/heart) necessary for respiration is...

Personally for me, my one "CO2 hit" experience was as sudden and shocking as being blindsided by a 18 wheeler. It suddenly went from, wow strong current, I'm kicking very hard right now... to YOUR GOING TO DIE! AIR!, SURFACE NOW!, THINK OF YOUR FAMILY!My PADI training had never taught or...

I located this excellent video describing a CO2 "Hit" - when a build up of Co2 in the body diminishes mental function. I had a similar incident while diving at 100ft - fighting a powerful current for 10 minutes pushing an SLR housing(don't do that). CO2 hit caught on tape In the vid the...

Panicked Divers Anonymous: On my 230ish dive I decided to swim against a ripping current at 90fsw. I was wearing long Free diving fins and was pushing a heavy ikelite SLR camera rig. After 10 min I was sucking wind through the regulator. The water was 80 degrees and I could feel the...

What is wrong with the people on this board? Forum manners much? Liquidvision X1 congratulations on a very douche threadjack . Your product, though very nice, clearly addresses a different market. Mintaka, if you have the opportunity on a multi-day dive trip, could you report on multi-day...

I'd like to hear more about the battery life on this - the next generation of computers with the OLED screens are all rechargeable, daily, weekly type scenarios. This is a huge difference than replacing a battery once every few years. Though incredibly sweet, I'm just concerned that...

Mintaka - DROOL. How is the battery life? How about the Solar Cell? Is solar charging an effective option or is it more a gimmick?

Admittedly this post is rather trollish. I am honestly curious to see if some people actually do read CDNN and consider it a good media website. People never cease to amaze me, I wanted to see some data. Keep your votes coming on this obviously contentious subject.

@ mike_s: looks like someone already started this. Oh well more data is better.

Ok Ok - respond the the poll then we can have quantitative data to represent the diving public.

I have been reading quite a bit of CDNN over the past few years and I wanted to start a simple one question poll on perceptions of their website

They are calling for "Rough" 3-6 foot seas and issuing a caution for small craft in the open ocean. 15-20 knot winds this weekend. I'm heading there to dive (west end resort) - should I be concerned about my dives being canceled? Thanks everyone W

The reason I brought up Guam / Singapore earlier is because by in large diving in the South Pacific / South East Asia is a whole lot better than in the Caribbean. The quality of Reefs, the amount of biodiversity, the possibility of seeing large animals is generally higher. The Caribbean is not...

How about Guam? That's a puddle jumper from some of the best diving on the planet - Palau, Fiji, Truk. It's full of US Military so everyone speaks english. With your skillset you'd probably find fulltime employment easily. In addition it's a US territory. Or Singapore? They speak english...

Unfortunately my dates are the one thing I can't change. This is a compromise on a larger SE Asia vacation with non-divers - I'm tacking this on the end. It's a challenge to get good dive trips in with a non-diving family demanding your time. Especially with a limited amount of Vaca-time...

Yeah no the Vietnam part would be just sightseeing, eating and drinking (can you tell I'm pumped?) I'm just concerned that I'm going to try and dive Phuket just have dives blown out by the weather. Thanks for the tip concerning Koh Tao.
