Anyone know what this status message on a Suex battery pack means?

Diving conditions around Malta are benign in general, the water is calm, clear and warm. There's hardly any noticeable tidal difference. Currents however, are unpredictable. I've been surprised several times, which is one the reasons why I always have an AIS beacon with me. Seagrass, which is...

No it's not. And as you have likely read in the paragraph following my quoted text, you can read that I think the decision to dive was questionable. So your question was already answered.

On that fateful day, the wind was coming from the south, making this northern tip of Malta the best choice for a dive. While all dive centers keep a close look at weather forecasts, Mother Nature did not and decided to change wind directions at the dive site 2 hours ahead of the forecast. One...

Welkom! BP/W. It will outlast any BCD and you will enjoy the freedom of movement in a BP/W soooo much more. There's a solution for that and it's called drysuit.

I checked out yucatandivetrek, but no link to booking Terms & Conditions anywhere on their website (not indexed by Google). That's dodgy to begin with. Xtcdivecenter seems to process payments through peek.com (Terms of Service) which already looks less dodgy.

Did you book through a travel agency that has insurance for these situations? If you paid directly, what were the Terms & Conditions? Since you mailed PADI, did you book the trip at PADI Travel?

That's exactly what my software product does. Divers register at dive centers with their certification, self-reported dive count and the date of their last dive. From that information, statistics can be created: through which agency the diver is certified and in which age group the diver is. For...

You are an active diver and registered here. Those two sisters of yours are likely not interested in a scuba forum (and never registered) when they're not scubadiving. Which means that this forum cannot provide those stats at all.

This. It all comes down to attempts to blame somebody else but the diver him/herself. Why? Holding the agency responsible for lack of skills is typical heir-behaviour after a fatality. A diver could have been trained and certified years ago, when the diver's skills met the standards, but...

That's because of your avatar

What did you buy?

I'd do the morning dives plus the afternoon dive.

I managed to reproduce this issue, both on iOS and Android. Too busy this weekend to dive into it, in the coming week I'll check it out.

In that case: ask Samsung to update their browser to the latest standards, since the issue categorized by you as pretty annoying is caused by your browser. Your browser follows the Chrome v117 standard. Chrome is now at V122.

True. The advertisement should fill the entire screen width, I think this is a browser issue. Could you check what the page looks like in another browser? (not SamsungBrowser/24.0 - it advertises as Chrome compatible, but is 5 versions behind on browser standards)

The fill whips have DIN connectors, which prevents filling a 232bar tank with a 300bar whip. Most stations only do 232bar, only a couple do also 300bar. The bank inside the container is 300bar, you can check the bank pressure on a gauge near the fill whip. Filling aluminum tanks (hardly used by...

It's not a hypothetical scenario, as there are numerous filling stations, used by hundreds of divers yearly. And they're not located in Wonderland but in the real world. When you own a cylinder, it is your responsibility to have a valid hydro. We can start an endless discussion about this, in...

If you didn't read the instructions, it's not the fill-station owner's fault. If you didn't follow the instructions, it's not the fill-station owner's fault. So theoretically, a diver breaks these rules and fills a dodgy cylinder. The valve bursts out of the cylinder, damaging the fill...

Why?
