woodman, you said you need to charge them after 48hours of using. What do you use them for? if you use up a lot of charge, then you'd obviously have to recharge them, be it 4 hours, or 48 hours later. On the other hand, if you've been using it for mabe 2 dives, and suddenly find that it only...

why are you stuck with those 2 strobes? Why not consider the Inon D2000? I find it's much easier to use.

I love all the pics on this thread! I recently upgraded from Ikelite to Patima housing, and i'm wondering how you guys prevent your right hand from getting cut on the latch. I usually don't wear a glove, and im hoping I dont need to. It would be a pain to have to buy a supply of plasters just to...

My buddy has been suffering from benign positional vertigo after returning from the past 3 dive trips. basically, any movement or changes in posture cause tremendous transient dizzyness lasting seconds to mins. These symptoms start 1-2 days after the last dive, and last 3-20+ days on average...

I thought i'd start a thread just out of curiosity... If you changed your gear after 6 months or less of usage, please list out what you had, what you replaced it with, and why you changed. eg: HAD: XYZ jacket BCD REPLACED WITH: a blue H after 1 dive REASON: scubaboard told me to do...

zero fogging issues. just insert camera into the housing when you're in a dry, air-conditioned room and dont leave it in the hot sun. put it in a dunk tank instead. also, I put some tissue or absorbant material in the barrel of the housing. silica gel is extremely annoying cus it gets...

It is a VERY nice looking housing but once I placed it into my right hand, I got a cut from the metal latch on my palm. thats from 1min of fiddling about with it. It i were to do my typical 70-90min dive with it, im sure it would really cut up most of the skin on my right hand. I was SO CLOSE to...

so it's about $6 more for the eneloops...double the price. Well I'd say that it's 6 bucks well spent!!

LOL well said, but over here the price diff is negligible. I wouldn't call them "mercedes" of batteries...just a tool to get the job done. How much more expensive are they where you're from?

bump this thread.

there are lots of batts with a higher capacitance than the eneloops (which are 2000) however, The OP needed a set of batts which perform well in cold water. Eneloops have an extremely low rate of self discharge, and they work better than other brands of higher capacitance, in cold water...

If you have money to throw around, get lithium ion AA batts. If you want to go the rechargeable route, then definitely get the eneloops. On my Inon D2000, the Lithiums last about 9 dives, while the rechargeables last 4 dives. I just change them every night. No hassle. The powerex 2700 are...

I'm thinking of the radiator 3/2mm wetsuit, but i haven't read a lot of feedback about this particular brand, apart from the fact that it's expensive. their technology appeals to me and I'm thinking of getting it and layering it with my existing 3/2 (which is more like 2/1mm after 170 dives)...

bumping this thread. I'd really appreciate any opinions/experiences anyone's had concerning this wetsuit, as i'm very keen to get the 3/2mm full suit. Thanks

Has anyone tried these ridiculously expensive wetsuits and liked them? I would love to know if they are worth the amazing price tag of AUD$215 per mm of material!

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that underwater sex can cause an embolism in the lady. Has anyone read similar reports? the sex underwater poll that someone recently posted, reminded me of this.

My sentiments exactly! However he wasn't from our dive resort. And I doubt I would have recognized him on land without his mask and gear on. I tried taking a pic of him actually. But it was slughtly blur. That and that chick he was diving with actually swam in-between me and him, and folded her...

yeah I misunderstood too. "That changes the whole complexion." at first glance seemed like you agreed with the vigilante. I take it back. Man I really hope you're right. I've experienced it once and hope it'll never happen again! Hahaha thats brilliant! Sounds like you had a rough experience...

yes resting on coral is WRONG. But is it worth pulling out a knife and threatening someone over? spitting on the ground is wrong. Littering is wrong. Spray painting graffiti on walls is wrong. Would you pull a knife on land, on someone over any of that, or over anything that culture/society...

Seriously though, what kind of foofoo pansy boy PINCHES a fellow diver!!!??? I mean, come on!!! HAHAHA
