I subesequently downloaded a PADI dive table and I think @boulderjohn is right, There is a very low risk of DCS on the low conservative setting on GARMIN, assuming your doing no deco diving and max depths above 30 meters. My analogy should be the locals are doing 14-16 MPH in a 15 MPH zone...

If you are going to start diving deco, flick the Suunto and get something running the Bühlmann ZHL-16C dive algorithm. (i.e. Garmin. Shearwater). The only way you can have a somewhat sensible conversation with your buddy, about dive profile, is if you are running the same algorithm. Most of...

NDL Dive GF 45/95 total run time 38 min (add on 3 min safety stop) Dive GF 50/70 (same Bottom time, more deco) total run time 49 min

yes ... I wonder if there are any stats on local's getting DCS. It seems to me that they are willing to really dive to the limits of the rules ... because the rules are conservative <30m, <1hour, no Deco. the analogy is like driving a car 20 MPH in a 15 MPH zone

Yes thats something similar to what I have been doing, Except I have been letting the computer with GF 50/70 go into deco, and then do the subsequent stops (9m and 6m) to get to SurfGF 70 on surfacing. Whereas the locals (set 45/95) are skipping that second part (the stops, apart from the 3 min...

I have just spent a week open circuit diving in the Maldives on a local island. My question is do the local rules regarding, no deco diving and 1 hour maximum run time, encourage local divers to adopt less safe dive profiles then they would elswhere in the world.? Because they don't want their...

Speak to Ronald Shop - All About Scuba

I have fitted the Divesoft BOV with ADV, I like it.

You will be well supported with a rEvo on the east coast of Australia. The Asia pacific service center is All About Scuba, near the airport in Melbourne. Rubens Monaco at Deep Blue Ventures can train you up to MOD 3, he is based in the Portsea region. In addition you have instructors in North...

as above Sneak Preview: Halcyon Symbios Chest Mount and KISS Sidewinder 2

I wonder if the smaller exhale lung, somehow helps reduce this risk. The BOV exhale gas has to vent externally somewhere right? Anyway CHalcyMa is a better name I did like Michael Menduno's review in InDepth, not afraid to bite the hand that feeds him. :)

Isnt that the same thing as saying "Whatever you do don't Bailout" :) I.E. not the smartest advice

Why do you think that's the policy to "Not release this on controllers" Do you think it a manufacturer decision not encourageing unsafe use? They are essentially saying they wont release it on DiveCan models whether they are controllers or monitors. I just dont get why.

Its not on any of my DiveCan versions in Petrel 2's

I was reading through the Manual for the Petrel 3 (ahead of maybe buying one for either my Choptima or rEvo) and I got a touch excited that Shearwater have now made a provision for Semi Close Mode and Bailout Rebreather Mode on the computer. My only question is am I reading their Manual...

I think you are right with regards to Bikini the itinerary is the same whether booked with Dirty Dozen or direct with Master's Livaboard and did it directly last year (though it was booked via Dive Adventures (Australia) for a local dive shop here called Perth Scuba. On the Bikini trip I met...

Im not an expert on W-Hr and I understand all manufacturers exaggerate ... but aren't the PTB battery's for the Cuda X 20 V x 12 Ah x 4 - 960 W-Hr not 864?

Go for it, Choptima sidemount is very different then the traditional DIR back mounted doubles or even the newer traditional rack mounted JJ. You may not really save a great deal of money, going straight from a Padi Nitrox cert to say 30m no deco Air Dil CCR cert, because ultimately if you have...

Just read the blog, I heard all about it on MV Tata with John Entwistle enroute to Bikini, back in August 2023 and it certainly made me rethink my tendency to "over rely" on the RMS and be a bit Scottish on the Scrubber time buffer. No discrespect to Scottish CCR divers intended.
