    Question Buy now, use later?

    So, the last piece of gear I'm missing is a regulator (and obviously cylinders). I'm based in Athens, Greece, where waters are not that cold. I am doing Fundies later this week where I'll use rented doubles + regulator set. But, apart from that specific dive shop which is very tech-oriented...

    Question Pressure test after battery swap? Aqualung i300c

    My Aqualung i300c showed the first battery warning yesterday. I'm trying to source the battery kit (battery + oring + grease) but can't find it locally. Also, I seem to have foolishly misplaced the battery tool needed to unscrew the battery cover. Out of curiosity, I asked a LDS if they can...

    Question Buying a too-warm wetsuit?

    I found a good offer on a barely used Waterproof SD Combat semi-dry 7mm, and I'm thinking about it. But I don't know if it's going to be usable in the summer as well. I would prefer to have only one wetsuit to worry about, so getting a warmer one makes intuitive sense, as I like being warm...

    Exceeded NDL by a bit, but computer cleared me. What should I do?

    I was doing a guided dive to 30m today and was roughly following the guide. I have a habit of checking my computer often, but it’s not 100% there, and I have just started diving deep. Excuses, I know. My aqualung i300c has a deep stop that triggers automatically, which I didn’t notice this...

    How much experience before using a GoPro?

    I want to be able to share some highlights of my dives with wife and friends, so I’m thinking of getting a GoPro or similar on a fix mount (mask or wrist or similar), and keep it recording in the background. I don’t want to get overwhelmed though so I was wondering at which point it would be...

    Worth pursuing AOW?

    I’ve seen that many dive operators will require you to have an AOW card no matter how experienced (or inexperienced) you are, or if you have other specialties etc. I enquired my local SSI shop and they said they don’t like to do this kind of thing (5 taster dives) and try to push people to full...

    Buying used BCD - what to check?

    I’ve found a Seacsub Pro 3000 for roughly €130. From what I can gather it was a high-end BCD in its time, with fancy systems etc. I’ve found a good review about it so it seems interesting. Also, in the local classifieds, you can’t get any decent BCD for less than €100, so I figured what the...

    Skills to practice in shallow water

    Hey all! New to diving, did my OW a month ago in Greece/Alonissos and subsequently joined a local club here in Denmark/Copenhagen. The club goes diving once a week, mostly shore dives in fairly shallow waters, max 4m, at a place called Havheksen which is an artificial construction of hoops etc...
