    Xdeep/Genz Black - screen brightness issue

    Yep. Looks about right. If you look closely, you can see the U4 notation on the ribbon cable. This version has the ZIF attachment. This can be peeled off and the pads cleaned prior to installation.

    Xdeep/Genz Black - screen brightness issue

    Go to Alibaba.com and look for it there. Several sellers have a MOQ of just 1 piece.

    Xdeep/Genz Black - screen brightness issue

    Mission success. Got my screen from Alibaba. Although it had a ZIF connector, this “peeled” off pretty easily. A little cleaning of the pads, and soldering under a microscope, then it was all good. Tested it head to head with my Perdix. Will take it diving tomorrow. It’ll make a great back-up.

    Xdeep/Genz Black - screen brightness issue

    I'm still waiting to get it from Hong Kong. Rest assured, I shall post an update regarding the swap. There are several suppliers from Alibaba. SRP is anywhere from 18-20 dollars for small volume purchases.

    Xdeep/Genz Black - screen brightness issue

    I was experiencing the same issue and managed to get in touch with Genz. The charge was 70 EUR plus 30 EUr for shipping. A reasonable price, except coming from the far east, we have a problem with items getting "lost" in the mail. Additionally, the replacements are probably still similar to...

    KHR tank

    The tank came with an Oceanic sticker - though I can't be sure if it was there originally or not. Last hydro was in 1992. Still contains 1500 psi of air. I guess when the air runs out, I'll just knock the valve off and count threads since the valve type isn't indicated.

    DeepBlu Cosmiq....

    Here's a photo of me using it at depth. Very easily readable screen. Nice large numbers, display showing pertinent info. At the time, I was evaluating it and comparing it to my Suunto D6. I no longer use the D6.

    DeepBlu Cosmiq....

    The computer is easy to use. Easy to understand. Syncs easily to your phone to change settings. One thing I noted was if you switch it off then on again, it reverts back to a default setting. So if you were initially diving in progressive mode, switching it off then on will have you in...

    Diver death in Mabini Batangas Philippines

    I went to check my tanks to see how many turns it took to open. On hand I had 3 thermo valves (similar to what you usually find in Anilao) and 2 old dacor valves. The Dacors took 2 1/2 turns as well as 1 Thermo. The other 2 Thermos took 3 1/2 turns. Given that it took 2 1/2 turns to shut off...

    Diver death in Mabini Batangas Philippines

    Thank you for the additional info. Most objective and concise so far. There were other reports of finding her with blood coming from her nose and mouth - is this confirmed? Also, given the ubiquity of cameras, did anyone in the group take video/photos in this particular dive?

    Diver death in Mabini Batangas Philippines

    Thank you for the details. Would you know if it was her own equipment, or rental equipment? Earlier report indicated a weight belt on her. Just checking if that's confirmed, or if it was a weight integrated BC. Amount of weight?

    Diver death in Mabini Batangas Philippines

    I wonder how much weight she had on her belt for her to sink 30m near where she was last seen? Weather didn't seem to play a role in this one.

    DeepBlu Cosmiq....

    Got in two wreck dives with it yesterday on progressive mode and put it against my Suunto D6 on 50% RGBM mode. On the first dive, the Cosmiq went into deco about 2 min before the Suunto. However, after a SI of about an hour, the Cosmiq gave me more time at the bottom than my D6 - which went...
