    Atomic Cobalt Quick Disconnect O-Ring Replacement

    Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see a message that there was an update. I don't see any reason that Fluorocarbon O-ring would not work. Typically the Buna-N O-rings are used in most cases for SCUBA. I used Buna-N on my QD maintenance and had good luck with them "AS568-003 B90 (NBR) Buna-N...

    Atomic Cobalt Quick Disconnect O-Ring Replacement

    The one that you see when you disconnect your computer is the 003 90. It is not hard to disassemble the QD and that o-ring is much easier to service with it disassembled. If you pull the boot down from the QD you will see how to remove the QD assembly from the hose, it works out that the QD...

    Yamaha scooter advice

    I have 3 of these scooters when they were made by SeaDoo. I have 2 of the 350s and 1 of the 500. I will say their is a difference in the power of the 2 models. I find both acceptable for cruising around the reef, most of the time I don't take it out of the middle speed. If you are looking at...

    Atomic Cobalt Quick Disconnect O-Ring Replacement

    Thanks for all the help. When I look up the 901 size (I don't see it listed as a 3-901 and searching did find the 3-901) the O-ring is too large, it's ID is 4.7mm and OD is 7.5mm which would be to large, it would need an OD closer to the 4.7mm. I believe the Oceanic QD uses the 901. I have the...

    Atomic Aquatics Cobalt Dive Computer

    Ron, I hope you are still monitoring this thread. I have a Cobalt 1. A couple of my buttons stopped working so I used the instructions that I go from you some time ago to remove the cover. I cleaned the magnets which were rusty and that seemed to help a little but I still do have use of all the...

    New Diver - question boat diving

    I often start a conversation with divers I don't know by asking about their gear. Divers like to explain what they have and why it's the best; let’s face it we are all proud of the neat stuff we use. This gives you the chance to learn about other gear that maybe you LDS doesn't carry and...

    Cobalt Firmware update is on the Atomic Website

    Ron, I tried to update using the PC Cobalt Logbook tool. It looked like it was working but after more 1.5hrs it was doing nothing. It now is at the Connect to PC screen showing connected and will not respond to any buttons. What would you suggest the next steps to be.

    Velcro straps for Oceanic computers?

    I use a Cinch Strap with my watch 12 x 1 Inch Cinch Straps - 5 Pack - Secure(tm) . You can get different lengths and widths to fit your needs. They don't cost much and are functional. For my watch the 12 x 1 inch works great. The strap goes through both pin so if you pop one pin you don't loose...

    What would you buy first

    For me the first thing I would suggest is a good regulator. I have seen rental regulator mistreated in many way in my years of diving. The last thing I want to have a problem with at 100+ feet is my air supply. If I have air I can deal with pretty much any of the other problems. If I have an...

    COBALT-2 wishlist

    I use a 12 x 1 Inch Cinch Straps for my watch so that if it gets snagged and 1 pin pops I don't lose my watch. It is comfortable even on bare skin and it doesn't look bad. I have used the 12" with wet suit and dry suit and the length works fine. The 1” width is a perfect fit for my...
