    Uwatec 2g. Anyone having problems?

    I am on my second new Uwatec 2g in about as many months. The first one was giving incorrect depth readings on some dives. I only did 8 dives with it before sending it back. Got a replacement, this one has only done 8 dives as well and had been working perfectly but on the last dive it failed...

    Can U stretch fin footpocket?

    I have a pair of fins that are much easier on the legs in current than my OMS Slipstreams however they are just a little too small for use with my rockboots. I can get them on but it is a very tight fit and too difficult to get them on and off. They are plastic fins with rubber across the top...

    U pay to give companies free advertising?

    Another thread about a competition to design a t-shirt for a gear manufacturer got me thinking. Who actually buys a t-shirt so that a company can have free advertising? Isn't this the wrong way around? If I have bought a particular brand of gear (and sometimes even if I haven't) and I was...

    Aussie diving - June 2010

    Don't think I've ever started an 'Aussie diving" thread before, so I thought I'd take the opportunity. Got a couple of dives in on Thursday down on the Bellarine peninsula. No pics this time as my camera housing has a minute leak I'm trying to sort out. We were originally going to dive Barwon...

    Help-need new o-rings.

    I really would like to replace all of the button, zoom, playback o-rings in my Canon housing but no one seems to either be able to supply them or even know what size they are. My housing is the WP-DC900 for the Powershot A80. I have a new main o-ring which I got from Canon Australia, but they...

    All I can say is :rofl3::rofl3::rofl3: "Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus have a sword fight." The 'Pie chart' one is pretty funny too.

    Please help me ID this...thing.

    I haven't posted in this part of the forum before so I'll follow Rick's suggestions to help with a possible ID. (1) How big is the critter? Roughly 15cm long and 10 cm diameter. It had a hole in the point on the right hand side. (2) Where in the world is the critter? Rye, Victoria...

    Does respiration rate effect off-gassing?

    I hope this hasn't been asked before, I can't seem to find it. Title says it all really, does someone who breathes faster on a deco stop off-gas faster? And, if someone was bent (or suspected) and on O2, is there a benefit of having an increased breathing rate? I'm not talking about...

    U-tube manometer

    I am getting myself ready to strip down my old [spare] regs and learn to service them. They are Oceanic SP5/Alpha 8, they haven't seen a lot of work over the last 18-24 months and still breathe fine, could prob'ly do with a check out and clean though. I have just made my own manometer based on...

    Underwater channel -watching offline?

    I know that's prob'ly not what they want us to do but, I have at times some long nights to fill in where I have a computer but no internet access. If there was a way of saving the shows I wanted to watch to my thumb drive then I could watch them during this period. Does anyone know of a way to...

    Stop gloves sticking to velcro??

    I bought some new gloves last weekend, 5mm Northern Diver ones and they're great except they stick to velcro like you wouldn't believe. They couldn't be more sticky if they were actually made out of velcro. Velcro gloves...there's a joke there somewhere!! It is extremely difficult to get...

    Flashing tank light

    Crappy weather has lead me to small project I've been meaning to do for ages. Build my own flashing tank light to replace those cylume sticks. The pictures are pretty self explanatory, and, as you may also notice, I didn't spend much time making it look pretty. Parts list. AAA battery x 2...

    Washing gear in warm water-how warm is 2 warm?

    I like to soak my gear in warm water for a while after diving, I think it helps to disolve the salt more easily and ...well it's just nicer when it's cold!! I know I know... stop being a :fairy:. I have wondered about how sensitive the seals and valves inside the regs and on my drysuit (latex)...

    What Gen Y missed, no wonder they're messed up!!

    While surfing youtube I was reminded of an incident at work about a year ago where some of us were watching Magnum PI in the rec room when Miss Gen Y sits down and says 'What the hell's this?' Poor Gen Y. They missed out on quality like this. :shakehead: 3CquMO3vJvo _MVonyVSQoM I always...

    Gaiters

    I have only got 5 dives in on my new drysuit, all in less than 5 metres of water and have been suffering from floaty feet. I extract as much air from my suit before entering but still seem to have some in my feet. I thought I'd try a pair of gaiters and after looking at Halcyon and Dive Rite I...
