No one? Now I don't mind risking mine to try it but can someone make some suggestions on the on / off switch since the stock one seems to be a simple plastic arm flipping a contact strip to complete the circuit.

Now I've gotten into this multirotor thing recently and noticed that the 3S ones should be able to produce a voltage that's around where eight "C" cells will be so has anyone tried soldering leads from the contacts on the Light Cannon head to a male XT60 or something? I'm still looking for a...

Hey! Been a while! :D Oh well, I guess that's an excuse for me to go all HOG then. In my defense, I did have one butt cheek against the rig but the wake from a passing boat was just too much for one butt cheek to handle. :P ---------- Post added December 18th, 2014 at 09:28 PM ----------...

To cut a long (and embarrasing) story short, a full kitted up scuba unit fell from a bench on the boat and the threads on the yoke (and perhaps some on the 1st stage itself but hopefully not) got stripped. Yoke was tightened back onto the 1st stage body. No leaks. Seemed fine on the next dive...

You give me too much credit, buddy. It was just a Note 2 in a cheapo plastic pouch and not even one of the better plastic pouches from Korea but the really cheap ones from China. :D

My own instructor who was an experienced diver and a very nice guy just died in a diving accident last month. :depressed:

I was already performing the duties of a dive master some months before I actually became one. 1. Carting equipment to and fro boat - Out of a willingness to help, dive for free and because the exercise came in useful (although most said a 5' 5" guy weighing 141 pounds didn't need to lose...

Again these won't win any awards but this time, none of them, other than some cropping, had been edited so as I understood the (huge) limitations and capabilities of the phone, it became possible to take some fairly decent photos. Most were either underexposed or overblown but the catchword is...

More HDRed photos. Not that sharp but they should be enough to impress non-divers. :D

If you really want a HOG 1st stage in yoke, there are some dealers who carry the conversion kit. Way neater than using an adapter IF you use yoke valves often. The finish is like the D1's so it's a perfect match. ps. Oooops, sorry for being a necromancer. When you're not working, you tend to...

I had some videos of myself in a swimming pool where there's no current and it was pretty apparent that everytime I stopped finning, my butt would rise so switching to a heavier pair of fins (from Mares X-Streams to Jetfins) helped immediately and I stuck to the Jetfins because I liked how they...

What symptoms did the narc'd student have? Also, who was the one in the Hollis F2s? Am considering them.

For me, now that my rig's the way I like it (barring a few very minor non-essential modifications which can wait), I'm more concerned about weight distribution. I'm using Jetfins which were the solution for me in the beginning when I had floaty feet but now, I find that I'm feet heavy so...

Thanks Colliam7. That page makes it easier to order. The problem initially was with most dealers specifying them by the length of the wire bits themselves. Anyway, according to the dealer who'd gotten back to me, a 3/4" (I think he meant length) one will crimp two 1/4" (6mm) ones nicely...

What if you had a leak all along? :D

My take is that if you want it, you can have it but with a wireless transmitter, your extra failure points will be :- 1. The flimsy connection to the 1st stage. Sure a port plug can leak but how many of those cases cannot be rectified by a simple tightening? Technical rigs are usually more...

Well, considering how strong you are coming, Omisson, it seems that you are just as stubborn. There is a reason why many preach a KISS philosophy. Is it really so necessary to have a wireless transmitter on what is meant primarily as a technical dive computer? I have used one in the past with my...

Nobody knows? A dealer has suggested that a 3/4" should work fine. Anybody?

Thread's getting interesting because I'd thought all along that having a short hose on the left and long on the right with both coming from the right of the neck was 'standard' practice. :D

Graham, I don't think many technical divers will trust their lives to wireless transmitters when going beyond recreational limits so it's not surprising that a dive computer like this doesn't have that feature. As for a digital compass, my Suunto has one but I find it a hassle to have to hold...
