I returned from a Mexico trip and when I unpacked I noticed the Nitek flashing and stuck at 7 ft in dive mode. I have tried everything except pulling the batteries. I think what happened is it was next to some whet gear and must have gotten wet at altitude flying. Any thoughts?

Just got back from a week in Roatan. Awesome as usual and this time I did some diving with CocoView. I was impressed. The cost was reasonable for being a non-guest and they had no issues shuttling me and the wife back and forth. Patty is great, Jessie, Thanks for your help! Seems that the...

Can't figure where to ask so I am asking here and feel free to move it. I was in Roatan last week and saw this snail, it was massive. The length in this picture is at least 12" if not more. Just curious what kind of snail (gastropod) it is.

I have an OMS Manifold on a dual 130 HP setup My tanks are in getting hydro'd and I need o-rings for the manifold. After looking at their site I found this 200 & 300 bar Rotating Cross Bar Manifold Below is the isolation valve assembly and it shows three 0-rings. My assembly has only two...

I wasn't quite sure where to put this In diving doubles how would I calculate my weight Steel 130’s weigh -10.5 lbs full and -1.0 empty each The Manifold and Regs probably another 3.0 lbs (need to get this spec) SS Backplate - 6.0 lbs Total full system -29.0 lbs Full and -11.0 Empty...

I took these shots today in Kona and wondered what they are. I think this is a Stocky Hawkfish but it looks a little different. And this school, At first I thought Barracuda family but now I don't know.

Looking for a place to get more info on the different Algorithms that are used in computers. Any Ideas where to start? This curiosity comes from my experience with several computers I own. I have an Oceanic ATOM 2 and VT Pro and also dive with a Diverite Nitek He I have notices several times a...

Last week I was in Roatan and Utila doing my IE. Passed it with flying colors! Woo Hoo That's not the topic here though. To get to the IE I took the ferry from Roatan to La Ceiba the La Ceiba to Utila and was completely horrified at the garbage afloat between the islands. From the time we...

I need to get my IE out of the way. I planned on going to Roatan in September but now PADI isn't sure if they are holding it in Roatan or moving it to Utila. For some reason they think its a trivial matter. Anyway, now I am on to plan B as I really don't want to deal with the logistics of...

I just acquired me an almost new (2 Dives) DUI TLS 350 Drysuit. What a deal. I was a bit nervous as it was on eBay but they offered a 14 day money back so I went for it. I snagged it for just over $600 and its like brand new. Last night I donned and doffed it 5 times for practice and was blown...

Its in really great shape with pockets on the legs. Its a medium, not sure how old. I am 6'4" and its seems tall enough but too skinny. No rips or repairs Black with Blue upper. I'd love to trade someone for an XL because I need a drysuit! Whats it worth, any Ideas?

I just returned from Roatan and thought I would make a little report. The trip was awesome. We were actually there to close on our new condo and form a SA corp to hold the Condo and did some diving as well. The first three days were a steady rain and Viz was terrible. We decided to sight...

on the third dive. Really bites. I was able to get a new camera quickly but I now have no trust for the OLY PT-030 housing. No clue why it flooded. Was working fine through 1/2 hour of the dive and them swoosh, it was full of water. It’s new so I assume I can get it replaced. The lever for...

I inherited a Nitek he and I am not quite sure what to think about it. I have seen references to it doing deep stops but I cant seem to find anything in the manual. Also the computer interface is ridiculously expensive I thought. Anybody here using one? Personally I would like a VR3 but this...

I am thinking of converting to DIN Any idea how hard it it to rent DIN tanks on trips? Carry my own valves an option? What are options?

Keep in mind that I am very naive at this point and learning as I go. Having read several texts on the topic of deep and wreck diving as well and referencing back to my PADI open water Manuals, PADI ERD and many other texts that I have at hand, I see a disconnect or shift that takes place...

Any recommendations for some good tech, decompression reading. I am looking for info on theory for learning and enjoyment. Trimix, Dec, Advanced Nitrox, are all something I would like more info on. Eventually I plan on taking "DSAT Tec Deep Diver" or TDI Deco Course and Advanced Nitrox and...

I am sure this has never come up ;) (Pun Intended) I noticed my booties make my feet float up. I played with all kinds of weight positions. I use a 6lb DSS plate and a 40# wing. With a 3 mil shorty I put 2x2lb on my tank straps using x-pockets. I was noticing that I was head heavy, or so it...

Just a little excited! Over the past few months I have really been working on strength and endurance. Weights and Running. When I started diving my SAC was between 0.65 and 0.75 After much work and lots of dives I seemed stuck around 0.54 Yesterday I did two dives in Kona wearing a wetsuit...

I have been taking a supplement called Cordymax Its a form of the Cordyceps mushroom that grows in the Himalayan meadows and southwestern China. I have seen decreases in my SAC rate but I can't totally contribute the change to the muchroom becuase diving and practice may be also playing a...
