There are 4 of us in our family, my 2 daughters use an Atom 2, and me and my wife use an Atom 3. We dive 2 trips per year, and I can find no fault with them. I do change the batteries more often as a precaution, probably 1/yr. The only time it messed up was when my daughter wore her wrist...

Just had a silly thought... If the position of the transmitter and the wrist mounted watch can be interfered with, I wonder what would happen if the transmitter were mounted on a short hose and velcro/strap/clipped to the front shoulder of the BCD? This moves the transmitter closer, and...

Some people may be more dense than others :rofl3:

There are 4 of use, 2 with Oceanic Atom 2's and 2 with Atom 3's. We have had only 1 problem, but that was due the user not he hardware. My wife wore her compase on the same wrist and when she flexed her wrist, she was pressing the buttons. Couldnt figure it out at depth so called the dive...

I know no would ask me and my wife (mid 50's) she still runs marathons and is determined to catch the 72 year old guy still does a marathon in under 4 hrs. I think the 50+ divers end up diving more because we tend to have more available cash for this $port. Lets face it travelling the world to...

All I know is that, I thought this was an answerable question at one time. Now I realize, YOU NEVER HAVE ENOUGH! There is always one more light, filter, wetsuit, drysuit, noisemaker, SMB, knife, fins, gloves, save a dive kit, log book, lubricant,... etc. Oh, yeah, not to mention another...

Ive been to Ohau, Maui, and Big Island. Personally I like the big island. Both for vacation and diving. It is NOT a beach destination or at least as much as the other islands. What I really like is the laid back attitude and almost small town atmosphere. In fact after our last trip, my wife...

Overheard "Anyone can dive REAL deep, once!"

Throw is probably the wrong word, but I can lift and set it down much quicker, I also have a lot more balance without the rig. I should also state, I dont shore dive much. Just this last trip to The Big Island where many of the entry/exits were a couple steps up onto the lava. The surge was...

Im surprised more shops with local diving dont offer something like this, but then it would probably take away from their "boat" revenue. I dont think an agency needs to get involved, as that will simply cost more. But it would have some value if you have never done a shore dive before. I...

Not sure where this should be posted, Im not even sure of reaction other than shock. We saw a pod of dolphins on our last dive, just cant imagine this. Group: Stressed, bloody dolphins await slaughter in Japan's Taiji Cove - CNN.com I understand the need for food, but I dont think this is in...

I just got back from Kona. Tried the Manta dive and got skunked. We hung out on the floor for 10 min, then just proceeded with a night dive. Was kinda cool in that we followed an eel around as it hunted. I am told that about 15% of time the dive ops get skunked. I am going to give a nod to...

depth is just a number for planning your dive. I dive to see something, where that something is determines the depth. I even like to snorkel a fair bit (and I cant get much depth free diving) but there are a lot of sites better suited to snorkelling. Some of my best pictures (poor by real...

You guys are making me feel a lot better. :confined:

While in Kona over the holidays, we did a few dives with Jacks Diving Locker and ended up doing one of the best dives I have been on. They even blogged a bit of it Whale Shark Sighting after the New Year | Jack's Diving Locker My whole family dives and one of my daughters was bringing her...

I like the headband IF its not your primary. I took a string tied it to the back of the headband and then clip it to my BCD incase it is knocked off. I use the head mount as more of a traffic cam. Sometimes it gets good shots. Most of it gets tossed. When you are in a vertical position...

I dont have a large camera, but there are now 5 us in the family that dive. We just got back from Hawaii, and for the first time, I decided not to carry on the regs. I have a nice new hard shell bag I bought for just this purpose. As the only male in our group, of me my wife and daughters, I...

I have some great shots of camera barrel. Anyone interested? It was green. See I didnt press the gopro button at the start of the dive, but I did press it just before I put it in the camera barrel. Whats the dumbest thing you have done with your camera. (and yes I still count a go pro as a...

We just got back. I would use 5s if you had them are planning more than one or two dives. I was OK in my 3 but switched to a 5mm. My wife and daughters were freezing in a 3, switched to 5s. The shop we dived with rented a 3mm farmer john with a 3mm long sleeved shorty giving 6mm on the core...
