    Having Two Compasses - Warning: Dumb Question Inside

    As we live in different states, I had him test them to see how close they could get before being effected; he said at about 6 inches the stationary one (one he had sitting on the counter) did start to misread. Thanks for the replies.

    Having Two Compasses - Warning: Dumb Question Inside

    I appreciate the feedback. He will be bolt snapping the console to his BC so wont be too close when reading his wrist compass. I'll pass on the notes you've provided and let him go from there. Thanks, again.

    Having Two Compasses - Warning: Dumb Question Inside

    I apologize in advance for my embarrassing, dimwitted question :confused:. I bought my father (newly certified diver) an Oceanic Veo2.0 NavCon for Christmas, includes the compass on the console. He also has a wrist compass that he plans on using because he likes it on his wrist more than...

    Moved Back to Phoenix- Looking for Dive Buddies

    My fiancé and I moved back to the valley this past fall and I'm looking for a group to dive with and/or a buddy or two who dive regularly. We spent 2012/2013 in Michigan where there is a ton of local lakes and of course the Great Lakes as well. Upon leaving MI, we spent about three months in HI...

    Dive knives

    I just got a blunt UK Blue Tang Ti knife for Christmas from my sister and brother in-law, seems to be very well built. It has finger slots for better grip, will prove handy when wearing gloves. I don't have it in front of me but do not recall it having rivet attatchments on it. None the less...

    Funniest Diving quotes you have heard

    Great thread! Thanks all for the good laughs. During my AOW class, my buddy who only had about 10 dives was having trouble with his buoyancy; he kept shooting up nearly to the top. Our instructor was assisting him but was also giving him a hard time about it, they were close friends. At the end...

    Bummed.

    Sorry to hear about your GoPro. This happened to a friend of mine in HI; he was using the attachable LCD screen with the 'touch screen' housing and said it flooded around 45 ft. I believe he contacted GoPro directly and they gave him a significant percentage off a new one; might be worth a try.
