I have a Poseidon PE-100 compressor. I've had it for around 3.5 years and have not had any issues at all with it. The way I normally turn it on is with the drain valves open and the fill valve open. Once it starts, I close the drain valves but leave the fill valve open. Initially no air comes...

My Perdix AI had been off since I downloaded yesterday's dive this morning. This afternoon it turned itself on. Initially the temperature reading said 218ºC and then it started flashing with Err as per the picture below. If I turn it off it turns back on. I have since removed the battery. I...

After not being able to dive for 3 months (due to COVID restrictions in Sydney), I was setting up my camera rig on Monday morning for my first dive when I discovered that I'd lost a ring from inside the housing (Ikelite) that pushes against the sub-command dial and allows me to change the...

Under normal circumstances I dive every weekend and sometimes on weekdays. Unfortunately, Greater Sydney is on "Stay at Home" orders and I haven't been able to dive since 9 July - 59 days ago. I just turned my Perdix AI on and it says the surface interval is 40 days. Now, 2 years ago I was...

Has anyone bought from DiverVision recently? I have used them in the past with no issues but they haven't been returning my emails and I'm reluctant to place an order.

I was chatting to the owner of the company that services my gear, hydros my tanks and sold me my compressor about when it is ok to fill tanks. He said I should not fill my tanks if the relative humidity is greater than 75%. When I first thought about it, it made sense. The less water there is...

I was playing with the Dive Planner feature on my Garmin Descent Mk1. I'm using GF40/85. If I put in a 30m dive on 21% it tells me the NDL is 12 minutes. Seems low, but I can accept that as I have medium conservatism. I can then plan a second dive. If I put in a 60 minute surface interval...

I'm running Shearwater Desktop 3.1.5 on a Mac Mini running Sierra. I had a hard disk failure and after installing a new SSD into the Mac Mini, I restored from Time Machine. When I opened Shearwater Desktop after the restore it is missing the last 4 dives. i.e. the last dive it shows is from 17...

I made these from lengths of acrylic. I heated them up in the oven (5 minutes @ 150ºC) and twisted them into shape. Two of them twist one way and the other twists the other. The plan is to have line them up so the one that twists the other way is in the middle. They are made from 40mm wide...

I see lots of posts about Bauer Junior II but none specifically about Nitrox and Bauer PE-100 Is anyone here using a Nitrox stick with a Bauer PE-100? Thanks,

Note: This is not a safety issue but rather incorrect data being written for a dive. I've had a medical issue that has prevented me from diving for a little over 6 weeks (my longest non diving period in a couple of decades). I finally got back in the water 48 days after my last dive. For the...

I'm sure 2.4.1 showed all the gas data from my Perdix AI and even graphed it. It is not showing at all with 2.5.0. If I export a dive to XML, the gas data is there.

I tried to start the Shearwater Desktop app on my Mac (10.12.6) and I get the above message. I tried reinstalling but I get the same. I suspect rebooting might fix it but I can't at the moment as I'm running a long job that I don't want to kill. Any other ideas? Where is the data stored...

I'd love to know people's preferences for routing of the line to their pee valve. Ive just installed a Halcyon pee valve in my DUI suit and I used it for the first time yesterday. I haven't cut the norprene tube at all and it was perfect length for "up and over" (my undergarments are all two...

I was bored today because it's too rough to dive so I put some charts together comparing the Descent MK1 with my Shearwater Perdix AI (and Citizen Hyper Aqualand and Oceanic Atom 3.0). I've only had the chance to do one dive so far with the Descent MK1 so I'm using that dive. Here is the depth...

I'm looking for a dive watch, dive computer or dive logger to replace my 12 year old Citizen Cyber AqualandNX that has just died. I still have my 17 year old Citizen Hyper Aqualand but I know that it will be dead too once the battery goes. I need something with: * A display * logs depth and...

How safe is it to fill a 300 bar tank to 300 bar using a DIN to Yoke Fill Adapter like this: https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/diveshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3316 The description claims the adapter is rated to 300 bar but what about the yoke fill whip? Are people regularly...

I have an Atom 3.0 and I'm using a 5L pony as well as a 12.2L main tank. I will have my main tank with 32% EAN and my pony with Air. I only have a transmitter on the regs on the main tank. Can I still use the gas switching feature of the Atom (so it will track the change from 32% to 21%) even...

I am considering getting a CCR mainly for diving around Sydney, Australia but would also use it further afield where appropriate. There is a particular dive site in southern Sydney (called The Leap) which I dive very frequently and I think a CCR would be very useful. The site is usually a...

When you sync a SCUBAPRO Chromis with a PC or Mac and read the logs, does it record the dive start time in HH:MM:SS or just HH:MM? Also, what is the sample rate for depth in the log? The reason I ask is I currently have a couple of Citizen watches (Hyper Aqualand and Cyber Aqualand NX) which I...
