    what do you think of the new SSI logo

    In what ways has the customer service been suffering? I'm a DiveCon in Canada and haven't heard of any issues here.

    SRP lens from Hero3, will it fit Hero4?

    I have the Blurfix red lens for my Hero3 and have just ordered the Hero4. Am I going to need to get another lens for the new one? I ordered the dive specific housing for the Hero4 to get the added depth rating. Looking on SRP's site, the language they use is a bit confusing. Anyone have actual...

    Sherwood Amphos Dive Computer

    Where do you get that it needs to be serviced? If you don't hold the "M" button for long enough to trigger the dry switchover to pressure gauge, it will show that.

    Sherwood Amphos Dive Computer

    Not sure if you've solved your issue with this yet, but I believe you either aren't pressing the Mode button fully or for the required duration. I know that's what will display if you simply press the Mode button quickly.

    SSI Level 2 and up.

    To the best of my knowledge, your card only gets replaced/ additional card given, once you complete specialties. Then as you attain further levels like Specialty Diver, Master Diver. You will receive cards for things like Nitrox, Navigation, Stress and Rescue. Eventually you'll need a separate...

    Sherwood Amphos Dive Computer

    I purchased an Amphos this week, unfortunately I won't get it until next week. The LDS had one on the shelf, but by pure coincidence, was on the phone with his rep when I was buying it. The rep told him he needed to ship all his stock back and they would be replaced. From what I understand...

    Wisdom 2 problem

    I'm on my second Wisdom 2 right now and have encountered the same issue with this one as the last. The problem is centered on the "Safe minutes". They seem to be completely out of whack. Just this last weekend, I did a dive that had a short drop to 60ft, but then back up to 30ft for approx. 30...

    Ears - over a long dive trip

    When I first started diving my left ear was next to impossible to clear. I'm talking nearly a 1/3 of my tank to drop down to 60ft. My doctor gave me a nasal steroid and after using that for a couple weeks, I could clear much better, but it was still a challenge. I decided I didn't want to be...

    Cozumel

    If you do want to pop over to the main land, either to check out the cenotes or try some sites there, I highly recommend Dive with Natalie and Ivan. Great people, great instructors and great divers. They're based in Akumal and have a website if you Google them.

    Time to get Replacement Card?

    This may be stating the obvious, but have you contacted the shop you did your course with? I also know that SSI usually posts the info to their site so you can log in and get the info for potential dive ops if you don't have your card when asked for it.

    Eyes, don't fail me now

    I'm not sure what the reluctance to go to a prescription mask is all about. There seems to be tons of DIY options posted here, but many seem like a lot of work and likely to require re-work and upkeep. I'm lucky enough to have better than 20/20 vision, but my wife is not. She is still a...

    Ear Equalisation

    When I was doing my OW last year my left ear gave me a lot of problems. My right ear will equalize if I simply exhale hard through my nose. By practising daily over the last year, usually a few times a day, I've not only learned that my left ear requires my head to be in a certain position but...

    Bullied under water

    I grew up in a household with a piece of crap like this guy. I know I might be projecting a bit, but I believe I recognize some of the character traits from my own experience. I probably suffered more than I could have because I wouldn't cower or run away from this tool. I don't think you should...

    How do I know if my son is ready for OW?

    I've sent Natalie and Ivan an email and asked them what they think. I met them at your recommendation actually. Great people. I understand that at the depths I'm considering, it might not be the most fascinating of the area dives, but I think it will be a great intro. I recall from snorkeling...

    How do I know if my son is ready for OW?

    I agree. He's been snorkeling with me there for a couple years now. Also, we usually go to the local pool every Sunday for an hour or two and play around with the mask, snorkel and fins. He's very comfortable with that aspect.

    How do I know if my son is ready for OW?

    Thanks for comments, I really want an outside perspective as its hard to remove myself from the Dad role. To better explain the plan I had in mind, here is what I was thinking. Firstly, we'll be doing as many pool sessions before we go as I can manage. This should be 5-6 sessions of an hour...

    How do I know if my son is ready for OW?

    I'm still a newbie with ~15 dives. My son, now 10, has completed SSI's Scuba Rangers program. We are heading to Akumal again this winter and he REALLY wants to dive with me. My thoughts so far are that we have the chance for about 6 hrs of pool time before we go and I would spend that with him...
