This is a very detailed, brilliant answer. And you sound like you know what you're talking about! I will do this and maybe we can do a shallow shore dive before we go on the boat dive. I appreciate it. Thanks!

Maybe somewhere. But not in the vicinity of this town.

Wow! I never thought of that! So glad I posted this question.

I hear you on the peace of mind thing. I'm not sure if I trust the guy at the LDS. That said, that's where we got it serviced. So hopefully, they'll stand behind it. Thanks for your response.

Good idea. I can bring it to the dive shop that did the service and see if they'll let us connect it to a tank. I don't have access to a swimming pool. But these are great suggestions.

I hope it's ok to post this thread here. I looked for a similar thread and couldn't find one. My husband and I got our gear serviced about a year ago. We have nice, pretty-new BCDs. He has a new reg. (Mine is a vintage Mares metal reg that I love too much to give up). We ended up not diving...

Thank you very much. I'd love to dive Pt. Lobos again! :-)

Hey, folks! Trying to book a dive for myself and some friends and it looks like (gasp!) the Silver Prince and Monterey Express are gone? Yes, I've been out of touch (before you guys start saying "where have you BEEN?! They've been gone for years!"). I hope not. I don't know any boats beyond...

No, we did not. We stayed in the bay. It wasn't really rough, but the viz was SO bad that we aborted our first dive. When I say "bad," I mean worse than I've ever seen and I've logged a whole lot of dives in Monterey. I couldn't even see my gauges. And, if I can't tell depth or air and if I...

Thanks. Guess we'll find out!

Hi, Monterey divers! When I shore dive, I know what forecast to look at. However, tomorrow we're boat diving in Carmel and I'm not sure what forecast to look at. Seems like it might be rough. Big swells. Do they hit Carmel as hard as the shore spots in Monterey proper? Hope not. Paid a lot and...

Don't take it personally! :-) I'm just jealous! I keep fantasizing about the Suuntos. But cannot afford one! I have two computers, too. Crappy old Oceanic ones, although I still love my Veo. I really want an air integrated computer w/digital compass!

Oooh, what a show off! I want just ONE of those Suuntos! Jealous!

This is an incredibly useful post!! I really appreciate all the detail. I think I'm going to practice this soon. Gonna do a few practices dives with my buddies in about two weeks. Again--thank you for all of the info. Very helpful. I learn so much on Scubaboard. Really.

So, I have one, too. Unfortunately, I don't think I know how to use it. I'm going to practice, though. Have you ever used it as a safety-stop anchor? I really need to learn how to use mine! I've carried it for ages, and never even tried deploying it.

Good to know. I put the Nautilus on my Amazon wish list. The dive knife will continue to go with me!

I hear you....although it's much more expensive. Some of us are po' folks. Or maybe we are because we just bought a new BCD. :-)

It says it uses GPS...that means satellites, right?

Looks like they sell it on Amazon, too.

Have you seen this one? Nautilus Lifeline Marine Scuba Rescue GPS | eBay That's a lot less expensive than yours, yes? It says its rated for 425 feet. What do you think of that? I really want one now that I've read the content you linked!
