thanks guys.... :) makes it all clearer... thanks devondiver... forgot about sea level 1 ata... heheh

Guys, Sorry if this has been asked before. Jus got myself the Aladin Prime and there is a manual setting for ppO2. Default setting is at 1.4 bar. If i understand it correctly, oxygen concentration when diving air is 21%. Based on ppO2 of 1.4 bar, that means that i would be at a max depth...

Hi Guys, Not sure if this has been asked before. I am using the Canon Powershot a570IS with the Inon d2000 strobe, and recently gotten the Inon macro lens.... For the past couple of trips, i have continued using the macro function on the camera with the macro wet lens on... I am still taking...

i made a DIY one out of 2" webbing.... not too tight... gonna try it out during my next trip.... :)

saw it... pricey huh?

Guys, Need yr advise.... Which is more comfortable, a 2-inch single crotch strap or the saddle-type? I have mixed opinions on both... any feedback from those who have used either set-up?

Has anyone seen the neoprene beanies / hood that has horns or a sharks fin on it? i have seen it and it looks really cool and i wanna get one just for the heck of it.... sure looks funny diving with one of those.... if u guys know where i can get one online, do let me know....

Thanks. Hope for more advice from the other SB'ers... :)

I am planning to go to a back inflate setup from my current jacket BC... the main problems which i find with my jacket now is that the front bladder somewhat limits my arm movement and when fully deflated underwater, it tends to float around my body... I have been scouting around for the best...

Thanks for the feedback.... will try to look at other options... :o)

Has anyone gotten the new Oly 770 SW? its rated up to 33ft/10m which is rather shallow for average dives up to 20m. Has anyone taken it (without housing) deeper than 10m? Any problems with taking photos or using the menu? There seems to be an Oly UW housing (PT-035) available. Distributors...

Thanks.

For nitrogen absorption, its personal and my dive profile is never the same as the DM... (mine is usually saw tooth hehehehh) During briefings, I will plan by checking the max allowable time based on the deepest depth of the dive site.... then i set the DC to alert me when the max planned depth...

Suunto Mosquito

Consider the Suunto Mosquito. Affordable and robust enough for rec dives. Been around a while and many divers started with it.... most glitches would have been long sorted out.... no problems with mine so far.... Was using a Swatch Fun Scuba as a depth gauge and bottom timer.... (dun laugh...

neoprene socks works me..... when i switched to a new pair of full foots, i got blisters on my toes and heel..... made kicking hell.... a pair of thin 2-3mm neoprene socks solved it..... not as good as booties for shore dives but better than walking bare feet.... the socks are a lot cheaper than...

Guys, just a quick question.... when u attach yr octo to te bungee necklace, does the mouthpiece face away or to you? the reason i am asking this is that my octo will purge especially when i rinse it with a low pressure garden hose at the front of the octo i.e. where the purge valve is...

Will it make the plastic face thinner, hence, affect the pressure integrity of the DC?

Anyone knows whether a scratch on the watch face can be "polished" off? Or can I change the casing that it looks brand new? Secondly, some posters mentioned that the older batches of Mosquito have some software glitches. Mine was purchased in Sept last year, hence, am not sure if the...

I agree with Frasermcd.... sometimes i do see big guys (not the muscular type) who use little or no weight at all.... do our body really "acclimatise" to frequent diving? maybe by some remote possibility that there is some metabolic changes to our body? hehehehe ok ok..... i am no expert...
