Looking only from the "dive" computer aspect, the Sol is still a fine computer. Where it looks a bit out of date is out of the water, namely computer integration. The IR interface is archaic. Downloading dive logs and updating firmware is increasingly challenging. If I was in the market...

The other thing that does not make sense in these news stories is "while exploring an area of mangroves". I have dived Crystal Bay several times and don't remember any mangroves. In fact, the area, with it's rocky coastline is most unfavourable to the growth of mangroves. And, even if someone...

This last weekend we had a lovely long visit by a whale shark on the wreck of the Seven Skies, about 120 nm NE of Singapore. She stayed with us for much of the diving, even visiting the safety stop under the dive boat. Enjoy this 5 minute video: Peter Walker - Seven Skies Regards Peter

Marine Parks Make Economic Sense My latest underwater video, entitled "Marine Parks Make Economic Sense" is a 15-minute, English-language cut of an environmental video, aimed at governments across Southeast Asia. Based on new scientific research, it makes the case that marine parks improve the...

I recommend that you become familiar with the Air2. I use mine often. Occasionally I drop the primary and switch to the Air2 and breathe off it for a while. When you are comfortable with switching back and forward, then start using the Air2 during ascents, just to practice dumping air from...

Try again a few times. The positioning of the clip-on interface dongle is critical. Maybe the sequence of connection has an impact. Start with nothing connected: Dive computer, dongle, USB cable, Mac, all separate. Plug in USB cable to Mac computer. Place dongle carefully on dive computer...

Maybe incline your thumb slightly upwards as they gain brownie points for honesty and openness. Regards Peter

Heard from Mares that 1.3.1 of DiversDiary is up on their software downloads page. This release seems to have made quite a difference. Tonight, after I installed 1.3.1, I was able to connect to the Icon, upload my name, see the stats, and download the 37 dives in memory into DiversDiary. You...

Not sure if it is an issue with capability and budgeting. Maybe both. Uwatec made the same mistake with Macs. They tried to do a generic Java app for the Mac and Linux, called JDive. But were never able to get it working because, for the sync function to work well, you need closer coupling...

I saw something on the Mares site that said virtual machines on a Mac would not work. What setup are you using? Win7 with BootCamp 4? Regards Peter

I understand from Mares that a new version of Diver Diary might be up on their website soon. Hopefully these connection problems will have been fixed. Also a new firmware for the Icon HD Net Ready is coming soon. But, Mac users will need to find a Windows PC to be able to install the new...

So, in your case, the Mares Icon HD Net Ready connects to your Mac and uploads dives but only into MacDive and not into Diver Diary, right? Every time, no glitches? Regards Peter

Thanks Zak for the fast response. I'd already found this instruction on the Mares software website and it did not help.Through the Mares software website, I've already made contact with your team (really fast response, impressive) so we are talking about solutions.I have a suspicion that it...

I'm having the same problem. Did you find a solution? What is different about the time that it does work?

Just received my new Mares Icon HD Net Ready and transmitter (FW 3.04). Playing around getting it connected to Diver's Diary (Version 1.2.3) on my Mac in preparation for some diving next weekend. As recommended on the Mares website, I first deleted the USBSerial service from my active Network...

Love it. Keep up the good work. One request. In the pull-down menu of Site Name on main page, can you add Country in front of the Site Names. e.g. Singapore, Hantu Jetty Singapore, West Reef Thailand, Chumphon Pinnacle Thailand, Suddhadhip Wreck I have so many dives in Mac Dive that it...

I'm just about to kick-off my next eco project. In quick summary, here is the plan: Produce a high-quality video on the the importance of marine parks -Why we should declare more marine parks -Why marine parks should be larger -Why neighbouring marine parks should be joined up -Why marine...

it's sold.

2.0.5 generally working OK. Imported 7 new dives from D9. But found 2 little bugs. 1. Dive Type wont let me type into the field in the info box - but can paste into it. 2. Diver Name for importing dives used to be "Peter Walker" but is now "Peter Walker 65902799 SIN" (part of my phone...

I've lived in Singapore for the last 12 months; a great base to fly off to some of the excellent diving in Southeast Asia. But, go diving in Singapore waters? No way! The waters around Singapore are turbid, oil slicked and polluted, mainly due to land reclamation projects, offshore islands...
