Just read this thread. A fantastic read for sure. As others have said, building small volumes of anything is a tough go - without high margins to cover your costs - materials , direct & indirect labour, SG & A, capital amortization and profit - you may not nbe around for very long.

I am looking to sell my never flooded Sierra.
Its in good condition and it includes the travel case. I have two batteries, one that burns for 30+ minutes depending on load. The other is pretty weak but would be the perfect core for a rebuild (Rabbit Tool builds them for Dive-X and does the...
I am making an effort to thin out my herd of stuff.
Selling a mint copy (never got around to reading it) of Understanding Rebreathers by Jeff Bozanic - Looking to get $48 which would include shipping and fees.
I also have a copy of Tom Mount's Exploration and Mixed Gas Diving Encyclopedia -...
This is a very common problem. Unfortunately if your unit is out of warranty they will not take care of you other than offering a "discount" on w new computer. The company has been sold and they certainly are missing the boat with their existing customers.
Buy yourself of Shearwater Petrel -...
Let me see what I've got. I'll try to post an image up. Just something lying around from a strobe package I bought. Not looking for much, just actual shipping + few dollars

This terrible tragedy (not really an accident) was a case of totally flawed, bad judgement by...
A couple of thoughts and info/experience.
Like some of the other people, I frequently dive different configurations depending in the conditions, or type of dives being accomplished. For cave I converted to SM a couple of years ago. I find the over all stability and balance significantly...
Jim,
Made a comment that strongly indicated that diving using your computer as your primary reference was not suggested or even fool hardy. My inference that you apparently did understad was that a high percentage of cave divers do in fact dive using their computers as their deco reference...
Jim,
Just wondering if you have any cave certifications and have done any significant overhead/cave diving. If so, how do you practically or "realistically" use tables for those dives as a planning tool?
Jeff
I dive with 2 Shearwater's in computer mode. When doing OW (wreck) deco dives, I cut tables using V-planner that I use as reference. For cave dives I'm all computer as I trust the devices and they allow for some changes to the plan on the fly (any possible alternatives have been pre-reviewed...
Cam,
You did the right thing. If its not right its not right. And I would have been very surprised if they even went out in the end as the weather was very sketchy.
