    Hero8 Black Choppy Playback

    I was shooting at 1280p, 60 fps mostly and no matter what I have tried I get choppy and fragmented playback that keeps freezing up. I got some improvement with a fresh reboot and nothing else open, but it still does it, just not quite as much. I have tried watching the videos on four different...

    Anyone Bought from www.emarplusk.com?

    I was searching for a band clamp for my new-to-me DAAM and found one at this emarplusk site for about $14. That sounded good. Then I found a J-valve rod for about $9. That sounded good too. Then I found a dive computer at a price that is too good to be true. I was just trying to qualify for...

    Casio DW1000 Replacement Module--Cheap

    I was watching the Chinese F-91W watches on eBay for a while and finally just had to find out if they were exact copies of the infamous Casio or not, so I grit my teeth and hit the Buy It Now button and sent away my $2.82 via PayPal. It turns out that they look identical except it doesn't say...

    Optional Download Cable for Aladin Pro?

    Sorry if this has been talked to death but i couldn't find any threads that were still open. I have an Aladin Pro that can use DataTalk/DataTrak to download the logs. I don't have the cable, but I have one for the Mares Puck Pro. The Diving Log software for the Mares says it'll work with the...

    Outside of Park Rules?

    Anyone know if an octopus regulator is required outside of the marine park? Rumor has it that it's required (according to dive boat DMs etc) inside the park but I've never seen it in writing. I have a few items that I'm considering donating to the Coral Reef Restoration Project but, although I...

    Making LP Valve Seats for Second Stage

    I couldn't find this info doing a search but it must have been discussed already... What is a good material (rubber etc) to use to make second stage LP valve seats? I've tried inner tube rubber but it's too soft and makes for hard breathing, but it does seal well. Way back when all we had was...

    Conditions at Sunset\Sand Dollar\rr World

    Anyone happen to know if the current is still really strong around Sand Dollar today? We were cleaning the coral gardens on Friday and there was a swift current going from North to South and we had to hang on to the platforms to keep from getting swept away Just want to know if it's worth...

    Fun With Jet Skis

    Watching from my balcony at the Coral Princess today I saw two jet skiers speeding through the buoyed-off swim areas and couldn't help but wonder what the penalty is in Mexico for running over a snorkeler with a jet ski in a clearly-marked swimming area Hopefully the guide who ran them out of...

    Bellevue Washers Source for Sherwood Magnum?

    Anyone have a source for some Bellevue washers to fit a Sherwood Magnum? The manual says it takes five but they all seem to have four. I found one source but it only wanted to ship to Australia. Thanks :)

    Trip Report Review: Blue Nation Diving in Loreto, BCS

    We (girlfriend and I) just got back from two weeks in Loreto, BCS. We dove with Blue Nation and they are great. Monica appears to do much of the scheduling of the operations and Yago is an excellent dive master, guide, tour guide, historian, etc. Captain Victor has ojos grandes--he can spot a...

    DIY Bifocals Revisited

    I recently started using a computer and the writing is so small for such things as Deco Time etc that I can't read it. From the previous posts I found it sounds like most folks are going with the stick-on bifocals on their masks, but since I already have a good, old mask and some reading...

    Flying with a Computer

    While reading one of my computer manuals it occurred to me that when flying we should have our dive computer with us inside the cabin because the cabin pressure is higher than the baggage compartment. I have not read this anywhere that I can recall. I am currently re-reading four computer...

    ebay Treasures

    I discovered this regulator on ebay while searching for some old gear that included a computer. Nobody else bid on it probably because of the way it was listed. The good news is that it came with a Beuchat Aladin Pro and Suunto Solution, both of which just needed a new battery and cleaning of...

    Seaquest Suunto Solution Computer Manual?

    Hi guys, It seems that none of the folks who had a copy of the .pdf manual back in 2010 are still here :( Anyone happen to have a copy of the Seaquest Solution user manual? I tried using the Alpha manual but so far have been unable to get it out of the 1000' altitude mode. I'm afraid that...

    What's This Called?

    Howdy! I've been trying to search for this item but I can't seem to guess what it might be called. There must be about half a million of them out there that nobody wants so it would be silly to try to make one. They were common in and around the 70s (maybe) and perhaps the 80s. They were...

    Lead, Delivered, $1.30/pound

    I just got 50 pounds of reclaimed lead shot for $65. It was sent Priority Mail, USPS. It took about four days to get it from the time I mailed the check. The shooting range it's supposedly from does not allow steel shot so there shouldn't be any (at least not very much) steel in it. They are...

    Hydro Testing on the Island?

    Anyone know if the scuba repair place does hydro testing? Somewhere else, maybe? My anti-virus software won't let me visit their site.

    Program Guide for HBO and MAX?

    We are getting HBO Channel 27, HBO2 Channel 37, and MAX Channel 29 here in our hotel. Anyone know if there is a program guide somewhere? There is no guide button on the TV remote that I can find and I can't find anything online. It must exist somewhere :) These are Mexican channels that...

    Blue Reef Q and A?

    I hope I got this right--this is not intended for Zeagle and I don't see any subheading up there... Dear Blue Reef, wherever you are, I have a few of your products and I'm impressed with the quality at such low prices. Are you planning on making a back wing to go with your stainless steel...
