Although if you want to keep your own DC, from what I have read, you can request that you get your own repaired DC back - it'll take much longer than a swap, but if you are like some people (me included), you don't want a DC someone else returned for repair - who knows how they maintained it. I...

I must admit, it doesn't look good when many complaints are brought to the attention of these forums here with no response from Aeris - then they pop up and place an ad in the forums, so we all know they are on-line - yet, still no responses on the issues at hand. I know this forum is an...

I use canned air to completely dry my DC and any gear that has areas that are hard to dry (e.g. dive knives). A burst of a second or two eliminates any residual water. Jim

There really isn't a whole lot to do except dive. You could take a boat to Peleliu and visit the sites of some of the most vicious Pacific battles of WW II. I visited the airstrip - still in use today - andsome of the landing areas. Jim

That doesn't happen in real life. They have a DM or boat captain go over information on the dive site, make sure everyone has a dive buddy, then let them dive. In case of any doubt, call the dive shop and talk to them directly.

I dove with MDA for several years. They have many tourists from off island and I have never seen them require a personal dive guide. It may state so on the web site, but I have never seen it enforced. I have seen them refuse to allow a diver to dive from their boat due to safety violations but...

Weird - it left off half of my post. Reposting... Hey Bill, I agree - plenty of advice given. If he's stationed in Guam, he'll have plenty of dives under his belt in no time. They finally transferred me off of Guam after four years. Now my diving has come to an abrupt halt. :( I'll miss...

LW, There are several options. As I said earlier, MDA has the free weekend guided shore dives. You just pay for the air tank rental. You can also, for about the same price you quoted, get an Advanced Open Water class - it includes five dives, dives that apply to the specialty courses, and...

LW, GTDS was a great dive shop. I did most of my diving and buying through them. Unfortunately, the owners went back to Australia and they hired on a Japanese partner who now pretty much runs the place. He doesn't care about locals or American tourists. His forte is the Japanese tourist...

Hello, Requesting an expedient response from anyone that can help me. My Aeris Elite T-3 worked great until today's dive. I went down to 105 feet and it still showed me on the surface. The tank pressure would only display if I depressed the side button. At the end of the dive (when viewing...

I have been a big Sherwood fan. I got my Oasis reg and Magnum BCD in 2006. I dive a lot (I live in the tropics) and have never had a problem. However, to say what you just said isn't very comforting. In diving, equipment needs to not have issues. "Not always" implies Sherwood believes the...

I did two trips and used Sam's. Their DMs will try to pair people up with like experience. During my last visit, we had two groups - those with long air consumption times and those with shorter ones. The first dive, they keep an eye out and do their own determination of who is a long air...

My issue was a contact that would intermittently make contact. Each time, it shortened the battery life due to a short caused by the contact. Once fixed at the LDS, it has worked flawlessly.

Hi DarkCoffee, No, I was in Peleliu and they only had air available. I'm back on Guam now, so I'll turn it in and have them check it out. I just hope they don't have to send it off. I don't like the idea of sending in what has been a great dive computer until this potential issue, just to...

Hi DarkCoffee, That was the first thing I checked. Not set to conservative mode. It seemed to calm down though and appears to be working normal again - matching my other dive computer again. Not sure what it was about those couple of dives, but I'm heading back to Guam and will have it...

I just left Pelileu today and am in Palau - no damage at all either locale. Tide went out then back in - total difference of ten feet - didn't affect anything. Enjoy your trip out here! Jim

Hello, I have had my Aeris Elite T-3 for a couple of years now. I just dove Pelileu and the high nitrogen would alarm, yet my backup dive computer and my dive buddy's computer were nowhere near close to the NDL limit. Unfortunately, I am nowhere near an authorized Aeris dealer right now. Has...

Thanks for the info, Scared Silly! Jim

Thanks! I appreciate the information.

I'm heading to Palau in a few days - also hitting Pelileu. I've been to Palau, but not to Pelileu. Any suggestions for dive sites and ground tours (I am a history buff - one reason I want to take a couple of days in Pelileu).
