Well at least we can agree on that! never could get used to useing anything other than bubbles for an ascent. do like the electronic depth gauge for a blue water hang though (really like it at night).

this is possibly the dumbest question in this thread! you looked at it just a couple of minutes ago right? you do know your max depth/bottom time? it was there just a few minutes ago - GO UP, no faster than your slowest bubble. if you can fix it great - if not you're done diving till you...

most of what's been posted is on the "hairy" side of information. while a computer is far from a nessesity for safe diveing, in some ways a computer can be more safe. you don't have to calculate your residual N2 between dives - the computer will take care of that. if you blow your profile -...

You BOZOs ressurrected a 2 year old dead thread so you could piss on each other?? get a life!

of course it's not a "fair" statement about padi! it was said with full sarcasm not as fact. but in fact you don't have to teach a course! just get some pretty C cards printed up from a completly bogus "agency", pass them out to a few non diving friends and see what i mean. of course don't...

this is hogwash! there are no "accredited" agencies - anybody can can print a C card and say 'you're a diver'. you don't even have to "teach" someone to dive ( before some witt says it, i might as well - so THAT's how padi does it!), just give them a C card. not all centers may reconize it but...

Aside from the macabe, this is a totaly useless post. 9 dead while solo diving ( maybe less as "solo" isn't included), in truth 'only' 8, 1 ( the 300ft+ air dive) can be assigned to darwin. 11! were part of a buddy team! seem's it proves it's not too safe to dive with a buddy!!!!

Does this bother anybody?? you were at the surface with <500PSI - you dumped your bc and you began a "runaway descent"!!!! that your buddy couldn't stop? Man, how much weight you carrying?? with a bottle that empty you should have to not only dump the bc but exhale completely and still just...

It does change - that's why the suit has an inflator hose/valve, so you can add air to keep the volume( and thus the insulation) the same.

for the same reason you can get bent free diveing, you could oxtox - IF you could stay down long enough. it's not likely to happen - by the same token if you went deep enough,long enough you could tox on air. ever since the major agaencies have tried to justify rediculous prices for a POS dog...

i dive dry because i like to be able to just pull the suit on and dive, get out pull the suit off, towel my hair and go.

Nice troll! but to post something a little on topic as a reply. I use just the setup you mention - except i use a stage slung bailout bottle ( that is shut off so the only true failure point is the tank O ring) with 1 first stage and 1 second, No SPG - when you go to the bailout the LAST...

i just want to say - I didn't come up with the technique!!!! Mandrake posted the steps, i just set them to an action. HE deserves the credit for it all! if he doesn't care if it's tweeked , i certainly don't.

that's a tough question. In the case you stated i think you gave a good answer. i'm not very comfortable about certifying 11 yearolds to start with, they certainly need more supervision than an adult, just useing the camera takes attention away for a while and many photographers get "tunnel...

I've got to agree with both Ike ( who it must be admitted has a vested interest in this), and Dee - i've got >1000 dives on my ike housings and never had a "leak", the things are just about bullet proof - they are NOT Idiot proof however, if it floods it was human error ( most likely yours - ike...

MANUAL focus, Dee. a fixed focus lens is a whole different animal, the s&s mx10 being an example of fixed focus. also because the MMII(ex) is designed for use above water too it has ( effectivly ) a flat port, underwater it has the same distance distortion as your eye in a mask - if it looks...

Dee, if you go to the web site and take a look at the pix - you see that dial on the right side of the lens ( left in the pix) - that's the focus control!!! the main lens has adjustable focus from infinite down to 3ft then it selects "closeup" with a focus of 18". closeup works by inserting a...

right now i'm interested in getting the free down loadable tools from the web site running. i want to see if the actions i use regularly will work on elements too. I use PS7 ( soon to be 8) and the elements stuff he has doesn't interest me at the moment. i will probably get his book to see if...

Dee, if you can find better instruction about how to set up the action player, post it eh? i can't make heads nor tails of the stuff supplied with the free download!!!

it seems that elements doesn't do actions - at least i can't find a way and there's nothing in the documentation about them. but take a look at this page: http://hiddenelements.com the book looks like a great thing for elements users - and the actionplayer download May be just what is needed.
