    suunto mosquito malfunctions--is my computer dead?

    thanks for your responses, everyone. i took it diving yesterday along with a back-up computer. for those of you who do repetitive dives with suuntos, i'm sure you've noticed how the conservative algorithms can tell you surface a lot sooner than your buddies without (up to 30 minutes for me, in...

    i think my mosquito is at least four years old (it was my uncle's). i've been using it for the past two years and logged about 75+ dives on it, rinsing it pretty well after each dive. i also got the battery replaced about eight months ago. yesterday the depth reading was wrong by ten feet at...

    Yap - Pathways or Manta Ray Bay?

    pathways is not a resort/dive operation, so if you're really intent on having stupidly easy access to dive boats (as in, roll out of bed, go downstairs), this would not be the place to stay. additionally, if you're addicted to air con and western-style accommodations, then pathways is also not...
