It is not much larger but can carry much more. It is true that tank pouch is not very durable. Last only one week underwater. If he make it with different material that would be perfect as it can attach easily to the 2inch standard tank straps

Now we dive and walk around resort with this ultimate hoody : Sol Cool Technology for ExOfficio Clothing | ExOfficio US It is the greatest piece of clothing ever: the hoody one for men zipped up all the way up, exposing only your eyes so you have total protection from sun. It is lightweight and...

Your plb turn off at shallow depth. And it was not on the surface activated long enough. Maybe that was why signal did not go through. I had my plb1 in soft case and dived with it for days in manado and no problem, it was not activated. Weird thing was when it become accidentally activated...

Sar want to make sure that the actual person carrying the plb is safe before they turn off false alarms. (And not anybody on internet / guide/ resort)

Currents can pick up. Guides can disappear. Boat can stop working. Vhf radios on boat need power and battery can stop working. Etc... (Speaking of experience) When s... happens, would the guides save you or himself? Even if he want to, can he? (swim against current to come get you?)...

You should hide the hex numbers in your plb1. That is how sar or nooa can identify you. They need that number to make sure it is you and be able to turn off false alarm. (Don't want others to call in. only you in possession of the plb1)

During the whole time the south african divers had their heads underwater with knives in hand... later once we were calm and relaxed at resort they said the shark came very close to us (they did not want to say anything while we were floating away, to try not to panic rest of group as some did...

For south african divers ( that are used to dive with sharks in south african waters) to show fears and wanted our knives, it did not sound reassuring... That was when i remember i had my nautilus lifeline 1st generation (NL1) with me in my bcb. I told the group they need to hold on to me so...

I told everybody to stay calm, stop moving, stop kicking fins as maybe they can detect panic and fears. The south african divers said they want our knifes and said they will protect us as they are outside (we were in a crescent formation as everyone was holding each other. We were in middle of...

Another data case: We were diving in misool area at raja ampat years ago. During the whole week, everybody in resort were making fun of us and our gears (why do you carry knife, smb, whistle etc). Most of the guests that week was divemaster, guides, or sell dive gears. A few was from south...

Sar did mentioned that they got a very weak signal with gps coordinates in manado.
