I took my Petrel out this weekend and noticed that it is reading shallower than my Oceanic Pro Plus 2.1. The Oceanic matches analog gauges, so I don't think it is wrong. When the Oceanic was indicating 120ft, the Petrel was indicating 113. When Oceanic was 108, Petrel was 102.4. I have it...

I'm heading down there Saturday and want to make sure I've got my bases covered. I know there's a storm brewing. What's the water temps at depth look like? I'm used to wearing a Lavacore suit off the NC coast right now, but I have a skin in case it's too warm down there. What level of seas...

I'm trying to decide between these two cameras. Most of my diving is off NC in up to 115fsw. From what I've seen so far, the GoPro needs an aftermarket case to get clear images and the Contour needs one to go beyond 1m. Recommendation and reasons?

What's the size for those screws in case they don't happen to be with the backplate?

Disregard. A Google search revealed what a board search didn't.

I know there are purpose made wings for the BP, but is there a way to attach a bladder off a regular BC to the BP? I took the 65lb one off my old Tech and would like to use it on a BP.

Picked up a Lavacore full suit at my LDS a couple weeks ago. On Friday I dove my drysuit for the first dive and decided it was too warm. Put on the Lavacore, adjusted weights, and went for a dip. The suit is essentially 5mm worth of neoprene insulation in a 3mm or less package. I wore it in...

My buddy flaked out on me for tomorrow. Anyone up for diving at Fantasy Lake in Rolesville or Blue Stone in Thomasville?

I got one from my LDS today. Going to test it as an undergarment for a my Black Ice dry suit tomorrow, if my buddy doesn't stand me up again.

Thanks. I talked to Mike and he's squaring me away.

I meant Oceanlog. Sorry. Was looking at my phone when I wrote that.

I don't know if it's an issue with the computer or with Scubalog, but every time I download my dives, it tells me I have 0 pressure in my tank. When I go to the graph, I can pull the end dive pressure off of it and manually input it. While not a show stopper, it's a bit of a pain in the ass...

No, ended up not having time anyway.

Thanks. Kidsdream, can you confirm the size for me? My local Lowes was the one that got destroyed by the tornado a couple of weeks ago, so I've got almost hour drive to get to another one.

While donning my dry suit today, I found that the input hose of my p-valve had broken off at the threads. Anyone know if this is a common item that is available in a local hardware store or if it is a Dive Rite only piece? Any ideas on the size and thread pitch? I don't think I'm going to be...

In my Rescue Diver class, we had to react to various situations. One was a very over weighted diver who stepped off the dock, dropped to the bottom, and stayed there. My gear was set up on a bench at the end of the dock - all I had to do was pull my mask up from around my neck, slide into my...

I traced one issue to the end of the inlet hose. A little teflon tape sealed it up. We'll see if that fixes it tomorrow.

I have a Dive Rite p-valve installed on my Pinnacle Black Ice. I dove this past weekend and when I took it off, I found evidence of a leak. I originally thought it was leaking from the outside, due to the pattern of the wetness, but upon closer inspection, it's definitely coming from the...

I probably should have been more clear. My post was assuming it was a quality shop, not one focused on mass production. My shop won't take on a DMC until they feel that the person is competent enough to represent them among other shops and charters.

If the shop you dive with asks you to train as a DM, then you are ready. Express a slight interest to them and if they react favorably to the idea, you're good to go. If they pause a bit, then you aren't.
