    Shearwater Peregrine charging cradle blinking green

    The charging cradle is blinking green and the battery isn't charging. It has been 5 months since last charged. The instructions state to "top off" the battery every 3 months, so thought I had some room to spare. Suggestions??

    Unable to download dives from Puck to Mac

    Question on Puck (the old ones) - I used to be able to download my dives into DiveLogDT (Mac) without problems. Then I was unable to download my daughter's Puck. Now I'm unable to download mine. I did buy another DRAK interface as the original seemed to not have a good connection. I've also...

    Carnival Magic - Cozumel, Belize, Roatan - Nov 09-16

    We stayed onshore for Cozumel. In Belize, decided to use SeaSports Belize. This is a short (< 10 minute) walk outside the "cruise ship area". We were very pleased with DM John who gave us a bit of history on the way to our first dive site, Gallows Point, ~ a 30-minute ride. Our surface interval...

    Recently flew from Providenciales (PLS) to the US. I underwent "enhanced" security screenings 4x. I knew this was NOT random but couldn't figure why. When I went through Miami, same actions.........the TSA agent commented that my boarding pass indicated the need for secondary screenings...

    Random (but targeted) thoughts

    Debated on where to post these. After thinking about it, I thought "Basic Scuba Discussion" would be most appropriate and educational. Yesterday, we dove in T&C (I am leaving the operator un-named as they handled as best I could see and do NOT think them as part of the problem)...
