    rEvo landed costs

    Not suggesting anything of course, but you can get flights Canada (well ok, depending on which side you are on...)-Brussels for a few hundred, sometimes even as low as 300-400 if off season...Revo offices are about 2h+ away by train or 1h+ if driving from Brussels....And Air Canada has pretty...

    Equipment Gas toxicity blamed for Chinese fatality - Batangas, Philipines

    Well problem is scuba industry is simply too tiny for anybody to bother with a dedicated CO "scuba" meter...There might be small demand for O2, smaller for He, but CO is a white unicorn more or less. On the other hand I suspect there is plenty of those on the market for general industry...but...

    Equipment Gas toxicity blamed for Chinese fatality - Batangas, Philipines

    Look for "general" gas industry analyzers for cylinders, not "scuba" branded ones. This is for example what I am using: https://www.greisinger.de/files/upload/en/produkte/bda/GCO100_EN.pdf You can even get the T-piece attachment (plus other accessories, including CO filled cylinders for...

    A question for Europeans about EU light brands

    You can probably also add Kowalski and Keldan, the latter made in Switzerland and well known in video making circles.

    Wanted Wanted: Custom Divers Seeker Radar Detectable DSMB

    Ha that is interesting, seems a bit more engineered there. Curious if that is just strips inside or something more substantial. Either way, if you want to be "noticed" in an emergency on choppy seas best invest in a PLB and a waterproof container for that.

    Wanted Wanted: Custom Divers Seeker Radar Detectable DSMB

    DAN Europe sells SMB with radar strip directly. No clue how the shipping to UK works nowadays though: https://www.daneurope.org/store/non-member/en-GB/category/185__safety-rescue/subcategory/187__diver-visibility/product/1540__dan-smb-with-radar-strip (If you are a DAN member, log in to see...

    How often do you replace mushroom valves?

    Hmm speaking of the newer blue mushroom ones - anybody has an idea how they compare vs Dive Rite "default" ones? That is if they even fit...

    So what solid state sensors are out there at the moment?

    -made by Pyro Science GmbH, 10 year life, appears to be cleared for dive/medical/life support use. Offered in two distinct flavors: a) With Poseidon firmware - only works with Poseidon rebreathers, currently 850 Euro (incl. VAT; unsure what rate?) on Poseidon site...

    Any other CCR's with Solid State O2 Cells yet?

    Lots of pics on Oxygen Scientific FB page - if I was to guess, OS developed the rebreather, sensors, Rhino/Symbios computers and Halcyon just slaps its logo on it. They announced "strategic partnership" between OS and H in Jan this year, whereby "Halcyon will overtake all Marketing and...

    Shearwater and the Poseidon Solid State Sensor

    I do hope what you are saying is true, but I've just realized this topic was started in January 2019...that is a 5 year silence now. And they are also aware about the existence of the PyroScience sensors w/o Poseidon firmware (as above) since at least January 2023 (at least that is when Dive...

    Shearwater and the Poseidon Solid State Sensor

    There you go - 435 Euro including 19% VAT. These are the same as Poseidon (also made by Pyro Science). Just w/o Poseidon firmware (so if you have a Poseidon breather you still need 1400 USD one xD) https://www.tecme.de/frame_start1.htm As for Shearwater...0 interest policy seem to continue...

    Any other CCR's with Solid State O2 Cells yet?

    Seems dead sadly, everybody's waiting for somebody else. No CM model from Divesoft so far, and Diverite/Shearwater seems not interested at all, despite Choptima w/ DiveCAN being near perfect for this... In other words, things are moving at the usual pace in the diving world...DIY or wait a...

    Water Temperature Komodo end of April / beginning of May

    Hmm temp can differ a lot North vs South, but I guess given your dates you will stick to the North probably? Then I would say 26-30 is a norm (South could be few degrees lower at the same time...). That said, whenever I was there always took 5mm - might seem like an overkill but do a couple of...

    Dive Soft ODA Scope Mount Cover?

    My bet would be trying one of the lens scope covers. Vortex Defender 024 is working perfect with Nerd 2 for example. Now Divesoft ODA will have a different size I guess, so it would be a question of finding one in the right size really. Original discussion here...

    Flooded Inon Z 330

    Got my last one from rEvo (purely as was ordering some other things from there) - 58 Euro with VAT, for 56g / 2oz But given you seem to be based in US, just google around, its made there, so plenty of shops sell it. Maybe you can even get it directly from the manufacturer...

    Flooded Inon Z 330

    Just get Tribolube 71. I've stopped bothering with gazillion of small tubes of every manufacturer, that always run out at the wrong moment in the middle of nowhere or waste lots of grease left-overs inside when about to finish. And you get to enjoy the "o-ring bingo" - will this grease work with...

    Unknown Woody From “Dive Talk” DCS and Medical Journey

    Perhaps. Or perhaps might have something to do with the fact that Youtube channels are run on advertising income. Guess we might never know. Wonder when we will see a first "Amex refused my scuba claim but Woody told me so" post.

    Why am I finding it hard to source Apeks manifold parts in uk?

    Apeks has stopped selling service kits/spare parts to public in UK (and many other parts of the world) years ago, it would only deal with official service centers/authorized technicians. Just order those from Germany (or Austria), literally everybody sells those, including via eBay - this is...
