greetings from canary islands

[Stabat Mater]

I started diving '92, later got married and had 2 kids, now starting to dive again after the kids are less demanding. Also had a back operation (disc hernia). Taking it easy and diving when the oportunity arises. ¿What is the age for a kid to start diving?.

I have an aladin pro computer that I bought when I started diving. Later when I married i moved and I live at an altitude of 550 m. I wait for the no fly warning to turn off before getting in the car (up to 1 or 2 h depending of the dive. manual says its ok to go up to 4000m if the no fly sign is off). I'm trying to gather information about if my computer is reliable (compared to new computer models) and if the new models on the market would give me the same time for no fly after dive.

Howdy!

Welcome to SB!! :happywave Put us in your computer's favorites and check in often. This is a great place to learn, compare, argue

Your computer's manual sounds like it's way off for the 4,000 meter altitude; today, Divers Alert Network suggest 12, 18, 24 hours before ascending to 8,000 feet, which is less than 3,000 meters!

BTW - it would really help if you'd fill out your Profile - so we can respect your training and experiences, or be courteous if you're a newbie?!

Stabat Mater joined in April, and unfortunately failed to come back.

However, a new Auto Search feature was added this past weekend that pulled up 3 others threads related to the Canary Islands. See the bottom of this page.

Welcome to ScubaBoard!
Looks like you may need to pay several visits to the equipment section. THere are several threads there, one specifically for computers and gauges, you'll find the reall knowlegeable folks congregate around there.
You'll have you're questions answered often in detail there.
Hope to see you around the board often.

Now for my stock message, which is still under construction:
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!

Tom

I've deleted my answer to the poster's question since this was an old thread and it appears that this member is no longer with us.

Oops... I hope he didn't follow the advice in the manual.

Don, when are we going to the Canaries? They count as an African dive!
