    Garmin Descent MK1 - Wish List, Reliability and other MK1 related things.

    I think all the dive related stuff is great but I would like the simple stuff that is already on the Fenix 5 series on the Descen as well, particularly:- 1. all day stress score 2. advanced sleep monitoring 3. and also probably, pay wave, I think these could easily be added in software,

    Spearo dead after hospital delays - South Africa

    Very confusing report, and difficult to make sense of it. 1. Arguing whether to admit him or not?? Does this imply they thought he was well enough to be sent home? It does to me on first reading, but was clearly not the case 2. Not breathing for 20 minutes, paramedics continued to resuscitate...

    Any reason to have some dives logged on paper and signed/verified?

    I have an electronic log downloaded from my dive computer, exported to MacDive and then DiveLog on my phone. I have also printed out the dives in booklet form so have a paper copy as well. Signatures are the problem, although Divelog can accept signatures written on the screen. I have added...

    Who certifies these people?

    Thanks for a considered response. I suppose you answered my main question as to who is responsible and what should be done. I remember being incensed at having to do a "check out dive" in Kuredu, having just spent a week diving Alimatha.. I was young then. I now understand the need and the...

    Who certifies these people?

    I have just returned from a diving holiday, during which my kids did the Adventure diver course. Events got me thinking about whether it is possible to fail the OWD course? I know of people who have not completed the course, but it is usually a voluntary thing, can't equalise, claustrophobic or...

    Rescue diver certification as a medical doctor: EFR needed?

    They accepted my ALS (UK version of ACLS) Instructor Certification as good. ACLS/ALS is far more comprehensive than an EFR/CPR course aimed at the layman. I cannot see a problem. However just being an MD or MBBCh or what ever is not a guarantee that you are competent in CPR as it is not...

    Hurricane Regs, 2nd stage main spring

    Simon, the Hurricane is a Beuchat VR or VX 200, you can pick them up quite cheaply on ebay. If you are stuck for parts Beuchat will almost certainly have them, if you can negotiate through the dealership network. My best break was when there was no agent in my country, Beuchat then supplied me...

    One week Manado

    Just returned from Tasik Ria. Very quiet resort, food is good but lots of the same, and not immune from causing Bali belli. I like wall dives and great vis. lots of that at Bunaken, house reef so-so for odd critters, but they do a day trip to Lembeh, true muck diving, not very pretty, but see...

    Dive Site in DM5???

    I thought I would try out DM5 several years after I was disappointed with DM4. I imported the SDE file from DM3.1, and .... DM 5 is almost there:) What I could not get was that there is no place to enter dive site, country, and it doesn't even number the dives.....or am I missing something? I...

    Dm5

    I suggest you get DM3.1 and forget about DM5. Get much more info on DM3.1, and it actually works. One day Suunto will realise that diving is a bit different to running around the block. (moves count) I do transfer my dives into MacDive once downloaded, now that is an excellent program, and easy...

    No SAC in DM5

    I am sticking with DM 3.1, does everything I want. DM4 was abysmal, and 5 marginally better.

    Suunto DM4??????

    I am amazed that nothing substantial has changed since I was last on here. It seems like some non-divers at Suunto in a boardroom have decided that divers and cyclists and runners all want the same thing, and they have tried to squeeze all into a software package. I can't believe the arrogance...

    Diver dies off Perth

    Thought I would beat Dandy Don to this one!! Actually came looking for details. Man dies scubadiving off Rottnest Island | News.com.au No information available, but seems like diving off a private boat. Suspect it is unrelated to diving as the area has very safe shallow dives, but would love to...

    :) Fun question : How deep have you gone on single tank ? What's your record ?

    What the diving world needs is another superhero. Those rare individuals with self proclaimed super physiology. They can dive to 200 ft an an 80 filled with air, and have no effects, and surface with 1500psi. Their physiology is such that they don't produce carbon dioxide. This often translates...

    Accommodation and diving Kona

    I hope I can get some good advice. I will be visiting Honolulu in late October, and am planning to travel to Kona for 3 or 4 days diving. I will be travelling alone, and will not have transport on the island. I am looking for cheap accommodation and diving. In terms of the accommodation I just...

    Problem returning product to reseller scubastore.com also known as tradeinn.com

    When you make a mistake it costs you, full stop. Free parts for life is a con, you will end up spending the price of a new regulator in 3 or 4 years in labour costs. I buy form Scubastore, and don't try and trick the local agent into giving me a warrantee! I accept that the price difference...

    Changing O-Ring With Battery?

    Hear is the evidence that that is the official Suunto o-ring spec. You really don't have to buy an official kit. I carry a spare battery and o-ring on all trips. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/computers-gauges-watches-analyzers/321215-suunto-cobra-maintenance-2.html
