I must admit I am a little torn between the 30 vs 40 wings! I’m a big guy - not a fat guy who wears a 7mm neoprene, steel 12 litre & steel 3 litre, plus 6 kilos of lead. I’m used to diving both Buddy Command & Apeks Black ice BCD, which have huge lift! Would be nice before spending the money to...

Looking at a Halcyon Eclipse & wondering if it’s worth spending the money on? My old BC (Apeks Black Ice) is on its last legs & would buy another, it’s been good - except for the terrible weak buckles on the shoulder straps which broke early on & were replaced with something more heavy duty. I...

Oh & diving at home if you are UK based, you are fully covered on the NHS including chamber trips

Try dive card basic | Products | aqua med which is a lot less than DAN, I’ve never had to test them for a claim but they been around for a while & I've not heard bad stuff about them.

The one thing missing for me from the Perdix is the option to alter text size. Until the perdix, I have dived Suuntos since the late 80’s with one unfortunate short change to Cochran! Perdix is not perfect but it’s damn near close! Wife dives a Suunto eon core which is definitely easier to read...

I actually ended up buying a new light (same one) & will send them the old one back for repair as a spare. Not complaining that the battery went, to be fair I have had it for a couple of years & dive with it most days so lots of use. A good solid lamp that for a change isn’t made of crap plastic...

Anyone know where in the UK to get a replacement battery for a Metalsub XRE1200R torch & how simple it is to fit?

Yes, it just needs a code to activate it - supplied by Shearwater

I have carried a pony for the best part of 30 years, never had a failure that has needed me to use it but dive kit can & does fail so I’ll keep carrying it. I don’t necesarly expect my 200bar 3lt pony to get me all the way to the surface through any deco I need, but it will make the ascent &...

I once went to retrieve a lost piece of kit for another diver, he realised he had lost it half way through changing! So I put on the wife’s tank - nothing else & I mean nothing, I was completely naked! Jumped in the water (shore entry) & straight down - why didn’t I check the tank was turned...

I know Rubicon; tend to private dive though - to poor for a dive centre

New to the forum but not new to diving. Been in & out of the water for around 30 years, starting out in the UK with a BSAC club & now semi retired living in the Canary Islands & diving most days with the wife & our friends. Life pretty much revolves around diving & our diving friends - if we...

Yes that was it, excellant customer service they are already on it! Apparently UK sold units should have a note enclosed explaining this - mine definitely didn’t. What a strange regulation though, it must be disabled for sale but then can be enabled - I’m sure that makes sense to someone somewhere

Thanks, I have emailed Shearwater. There is no AI on the startup screen so looks like it could be a problem! I travel on Tuesday for six weeks of diving so looks like I may have a problem

I’d seen that & it would appear that in the system setup menu AI setup comes after Deco setup but it doesn’t on mine - I’m hoping I’ve not been sold a Non AI - the outer sleeve certainly says AI

I know I’m missing something but can’t find the AI setup on my new Perdix. System setup scrolls to mode, deco, bottom row, Nitrox, display, compass but no AI setup?? I haven’t connected the transmitter yet if that makes a difference. Sent from my iPhone
