    Anyone ever deal with Varuste.net in Finland

    I'm curious about responses here as well, also wondering about Dir Direct.

    Dependable ?

    Wondering if anybody, besides those in Europe, has purchased any gear from DIR Direct. Have you encountered any issues or are they reliable ? I heard one comment already and would like to hear any general consensus. Thanks

    BF, thanks for your response. The math for an hour at full power with a Tall UWLD comes close to your estimate. That's great to know.

    Thanks Grant. I've have learned the math recently. I did notice that UWLD adds the 10 %. I was wondering more in terms of the colder water times and how the cold would influence the life of the battery. I have a Go Pro and the cold water here sure cuts down useable battery.

    BTW BF, how long does the 160 WH UWLD battery last for you. What are the approx water temps ? Thanks again

    Santi BZ 400 extreme

    Thanks for the comment BF. I have to say that, when I'm on a plane diving somewhere else, I'm leaving half my gear behind, no drysuit / no heater / no battery needed for the warmer waters. It's ice diving here now, my buddy went recently, 34-35 F. Not for me until I get heated, I do have my...

    Jack Hammer, Thanks for the confirmation about the ballast. We'll see where all this ultimately ends. No idea when I'll be able to dive again anyway. All our dive sites are closed, who knows for how long ?

    Thanks again. Michael, I liked the fly comment, certainly a funny image. I've read a bunch lately and have also heard about the potential thinsulate issues. My buddy, who dives it, hasn't noticed any issues, but good to be aware of it. I certainly appreciate all the help I've received. Jack...

    Santi BZ 400 extreme

    Grant , I hadn't got to the point about the on/off switch on the Santi. I'm actually glad you pointed it out. Made me think about it. I do like the idea of a lesser amount of controlled heat over the whole dive . Gonna be hard to try it out before I buy, especially with all this other %$#@...

    Santi BZ 400 extreme

    Gentlemen, Thanks for the input. Grant, I appreciate the notes at the end . I've read about the connection re getting bent and heat. Still learning. My current max duration in 38 F is about 40 minutes. I am pretty chilly though. I'm always warmer on the second dive than the first, same...

    Santi BZ 400 extreme

    I'm getting tired of being cold. I'm now trying longer dives in fairly chilly water. I dive in temps down to 37 F. Average temp here is mid 40's. I'm looking at the Santl BZ 400 extreme heated thermal with gloves, canister , the whole set up. I currently dive a Bare Super high loft thermal...

    Diver's Diary in Mac

    forgot to change the year on my Mares Icon HD dive computer. As a result, my next 7 dives that I loaded from my computer to Diver's Diary show the wrong year and are in the wrong order in Diver's Diary. Does anyone know how to change the year on individual dives in Diver's Diary .. Thanks
