I've had one myself, so I thought I'd give you some insight. Mine occurred at 25m. I was carrying a pony, and my initial action (there was no thought it was an automated response) was to switch to my pony since it felt like an OOG - this didn't solve the problem and looking at both my spg...
The only penalty I've witnessed on the Eon, is with a conservative setting (P-0) and a short (45min SI) then the NDL will decrease of the next dive. I really have done everything to try to upset the Eon, and on its most aggressive setting it never differed from my Perdix on 45/95. Over 500...
The was an issue - I've run my Eon's down to 1 hrs (while underwater) and had no issues Although mine was a stell so has a bigger battery
The Problem with the Eon software was (is?) the battery life display giving time. This "time" was a guestimate based on previous information - but alter the...
Having never owned a Zoop I'll take your word for it. I can assure you that and Eon won't. Been there tried that, including setting it to the most conservative profile then being "stupid" on scooter under NDL.
Also people comparing a Zoop to a Shearwater are just being disingenuous An entry...
I have no doubt to not believe them, but I was still getting kits from my main dealer until 2020. The recall was because some cheap moron reused the plastic cap (teh kit provides a new one) over tightened teh screws and it went bang!
At the time I was in monthly contact with Suunto regarding...
Any computer that has a free diving option will not allow scuba diving for a period afterwards.
Shearwater doesn't have a free diving options
Yes a low batt will get a lockout if it dies because the computer can't track what you've done. I sure if you lost batt live during a dive on a...
I used to tell my computer to shut up (through my reg) when it bleeped - I kept the alarms on, because in the regular washing machine currents the ascent warning was very useful if task loaded
Hard disagree. I own and Eon Steel (none Bühlmann and a Perdix AI (the original) Both are great computers, both have their positive and negative
I have 1200 dives on the Eon and 500ish with the Perdix. I dive them side by side.
1. Fused RGBM vs Bühlmann I had a max run of 44 repetitive...
My Bungee is attached to the Karabiner I have at the end of the spool which attached to the DSMB or what ever else I'm using. I've found that by holding the spool in one hand, and the DSMB in the other and pulling them apart the bungee easily comes off (which is more applicable to you peeps in...
Have a loop of bungee on the reel. it holds teh line. No need for fancy wrapping on a double ender etc. The double ender, is just use to hold the reel/spool to my kit. My reel/spool would not unwind if the double ender came detached. Even in current
We're all different, but I got rid of my single piece harness after 18 months & 100 dives. I hated the faff of adjusting from 7mm to skin each year.
I moved the Dive Rite Transpac for the summer and Trans plate for the Winter
My voyager wings have been bomb proof, The oldest had 5 years and...
All I'll say is that I used them in the Middle East, so they were subjected to v high heat (+45C 120F in the Summer) and high UV. They would be outside All weekend every weekend for diving, and no treated gently. None of my 4 Beuchat masks have had an issue and they've been lent to students...
We used to Fast boat to the top and do 2 dives in our more stupid days
Now only Sheesa operate. I wonder if they'll still run Dhows to the top since they can make more money just going to Lima, and there aren't the people left with real knowledge of the sites (Neil Murphy at Freestyle the...
As a rough rule of thumb, I'd check them at start of dive expecting the top of their head to be a hands width under water, which got them pretty damn close doing conformation checks at end of dive
Perhaps on the lower end basic RGBM computers which no doubt have some head room for beginners built it
However for the Eon I can categorically tell you this isn't the case as I made a series of 44 repetitive dives, including some deco and a couple on scooters with shall we say, dodgy dive...
DM used to be my favourite and most satisfying course to teach. I'll add to what two others have said
You should have good buoyancy and trim already. As an example you should be able to carry out a mask remove and replace at a safety stop with no large vertical movement. Also make sure your...
Good luck with the training. I hope the Kiss is all you want it to be and allows you to do the diving you want too. Now and in the future
I'm going to smile inwardly at myself knowing that when you get to MX you'll be warm water diving (something you'd always said you wouldn't be doing)
IF...
On the (PADI) course DM's are explicitly taught not to touch tech gear
A DM woking in a busy shop on the ocean will just as much experience and knowledge as a BSAC DL. and unlike the club diving where you're cosseted and only exposed to a few people whose capabilities are well known, in...
In "Theory" You should be able to take a student, and just fine tune their skills to demonstration level, introduce leadership teaching skills. And in Theory it should be possible to go through the course in 10 days.
In practice it's another thing. Most candidates require lots o remedial...
