    Where is that? the only « clear » function i have is in Dive Settings and it only clear the settings, not the recorded dives :-/

    Erasing dive history from Cressi DC

    Makes sense, still a bit annoying when you buy a used DC :-/

    Erasing dive history from Cressi DC

    Is there a way to erase dives logged in a Cressi Leonardo? Factory reset won’t do it, it’s a bummer.

    a pressure gauge both in PSI and BAR?

    is there such a thing as a pressure gauge with both PSI and BAR values? it would be simple and so useful for the traveler :blinking:

    Just venting...

    although i know the signs, on one of my first dives in the caribbean last winter i was the first up after the safety stop and the boat was waiting maybe a 100 yards from me (it's one of their usual diving spots so he knew about where we would pop up) my instinct (and adrenalin) had my waving my...

    Tank explosion kills one - Cozumel

    for what i've heard (according to the personnel of my dive center), a visual inspection is done to find traces of rust inside a tank, if rust is detected the tank can be sandblasted (or some similar procedure) to remove all trace of rust, it must then pass a hydro to insure it's still good, an...

    Tank explosion kills one - Cozumel

    interesting picture i took of a condemned cylinder, it's one of those infamous cylinders with the bad alloy that killed people a couple of years ago, it was stamped XXXXXXXX over the serial when it failed the hydro, the shop owner had it cut in half as a display, it's quite thicker than i expected

    Anyone bought the new Cressi Air Travel 2.0?

    I posted this in General Scuba Equipment but didn't get a single answer maybe, i'll have more succes here :-/ i own the older blue/black model, although i like it a lot there's an obvious design flaw with it, the main tank strap is way too high, everyone i know who has one ends up using the...

    Emergency Oxygen Kits

    actually this is all wrong, the Good Samaritan Law WILL protect you against a law suit if what you did seemed reasonable at the moment, any untrained person doing something reasonable (putting 100% O2 on an injured person certainly is) can't be sued EVEN IF IT DID CAUSE THE DEATH OF THE INJURED...

    Dive knife or line cutter for my BCD

    a pair of trauma shears in the bcd pocket ;-) (you can actually cut a nickel in two quite easily with those so a wet line under 5mm wouldn't pose a problem and they aren't considered a knife in those places where knives are prohibited)

    Best motion/seasick meds for divers...

    Ginger will only work for moderate sea on moderately seasick persons, Gravol and Dramamine will cause drowsiness, scopolamine has a lot of side effects, quite a potent drug, the best i've seen so far is Bonine, no drowsiness or side effects, you can safely have a little alcool with it, it worked...

    Weight belt options

    i also dive from my sailboat, i usually enter water with a great stride but for climbing back i use the boat's swim ladder, to do that i inflate my bcd and remove it in the water (i loosely tie it to a rear docking line that i leave hanging in the water), i then remove my fins and throw them...

    New Cressi Air Travel 2.0

    Does anyone has it yet? i own the older blue model, although i like it a lot there's an obvious design flaw with it, the main tank strap is way too high, everyone i know who has one ends up using the upper strap (the lighter second one) around the valve, otherwise the first stage is literally...

    DC3/212 question

    Hi, i just bought a yoke DC3/212 and plan on adding a 321 octo, i have a couple of questions about it that i can't find answers online (there's only a Mini CD in the box, which i can't play on my mac but i assume contains the pdf manual available on the Hollis website) first, the DC3 is...

    Odd Ear Issue

    a tip from an ENT doctor, take a small clean drop bottle, fill it with 50% sterile water and 50% white vinegar, a couple of drops in each ear after each dives (or if feeling jammed) will prevent ear infection ;-)

    weird 2nd stage noise below 80 feet

    thanks for the answers, i'd still prefer having it fixed though, it's quite annoying at those depth (even worse for a padawan like me)

    Underwater iPhone 5 Housing

    i have the iPix, took great pictures with it, you can also put a 32mm wide angle on it, with 15 dives on it i had two occurrences where a drop or two entered without damaging the phone but it made me feel less confident about it, i think both time it happened because i kept a button pressed mid...

    weird 2nd stage noise below 80 feet

    Hi, sorry if this is a newbie question but today i was doing my first deep dive to 100' and when i got below 80' my 2nd stage started squealing heavily during inspiration, i could also feel it vibrate. it felt like when you open a water tap with air in the pipes or something similar, it was a...
