I am going to take the Petrel on a trip with multiple dives a day for about 10 days and would hate for this to happen, so I will try the SAFT battery as well, but just to make sure, are you guys talking about the 3.6v lithium SAFT battery?

Thanks for all of the feedback guys! I ended up going with the Aeris Accels. They are extremely light (the pair weighs less than one of my previous Scubapro twin jets), short and easy to pack. When I first got them I was afraid they weren't going to be powerful enough because they were so short...

Worked perfectly Mark, thank you very much!

Hi all, I've been running an old version of Shearwater Desktop and trying to upgrade to the new version (2.3.6) without success. Every time I try run the installer I get the message: This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I just ordered the Aeris Accel based on what I heard here. Will post my impressions when I get to use them in the water in a couple of weeks.

I haven't heard of these before, they do look very interesting. Please let me know what you think after you test them.

Hi everyone, so, long story short, an airline lost one of my bags during my last trip and I am in the market for new fins. I had a Scubapro twin jet for 10 years and really liked it (except when there was a current), but lately I've found myself frog kicking more and more, and the twin jets are...

+1 That's exactly what I did, the pads on the shoulders added no comfort, for me they actually got in the way and made the whole thing too tight around my neck. I have used the comfort harness without the pads now for like 5 years, best BC I ever had.

Personally, and especially depending on the type of fins that I am using, if I don't stretch the muscles in my legs I get cramps while diving.

It is amazing how people nowadays want to force their point of view on others. Just because the features are not attractive to you, it doesn't mean that other people have to think like you think. In other words, you don't need to "get it". Why do people drive ferraris? Why do people fly first...

Just to give you guys another option, I got this adapter: Bafo Technology BF-7030 USB 2.0 to IrDA Fast Infrared Adapter And it downloads dives from my Aladin Prime and Smart Pro on my Mac Book Pro (Intel) using jTrak with no problem. It also works on windows...

Yes, I have downloaded my dives and changed computer settings with that USB dongle and jTrak, on both my dive computers, Aladin Prime and Smart Pro.

I bought this one: http://www.datavis.com/Bafo_Technology_BF_7030_USB_20_to_IrDA_Fast_Infrared_Adapter.html For $30 and it works on both PC and Mac...

Hi all, There is a new underwater photography magazine out, Wetpixel Quarterly. It is a printed magazine in the landscape format with stunning underwater images. For more information, visit http://www.wetpixelquarterly.com/ Cheers, Luiz

OMS for me, really great system, has taken a lot of abuse. Very light for travel with the aluminum backplate.

Rock? No! :) I'm not sure if I would be able to tell from only the first picture, it looks really odd there. But it looks much more like the usual cup coral on the second photo...

It is a cup coral, genus Tubastrea.

While you are right that there are no endangered species on the menu, there is plenty of evidence showing that commercial fishing is having a tremendous impact and drastically reducing the populations of *all* grouper and snapper species in the entire Caribbean (including Florida). I think the...

Re Pain: Yes, fish do feel it, they have the same pain receptors as most other animals. If you want to learn more about the subject, check this: http://www.nofishing.net/FishFeelPain.asp Re Red Tide: The red tides in florida a caused by extremely high numbers of a dinoflagellate (Karenia...

Yes, shooting it is like shooting a telefone pole. A three year old can shoot a Goliath :) , that's why they are so vulnerable. Bringing it back to the boat is an entirely different matter. It is not rare to see many individuals with scars or even spears stuck to them in places where fishing is...
