Re: Do you Remember?
Terrible computer! Bad software and setup. Batteries had issues. You had to whack it to change any settings. The company also ended up being unreliable and abandoned the customers before long. A dive shop tried to sell me on this when they came out and I was not buying.

Re: Apple Watch Ultra as a Dive Computer
There are some very comprehensive reviews out now that cover using the watch as a real dive computer. The short version of the reviews are that it works well, but you have to pay a monthly fee of around $10 or $80 a year to get the Oceanic+ app that enables dive features. Most of the reviews I read ...

Re: Have you ever had a reg freeze in Puget Sound?
No, never had a reg freeze on me. I've gone diving plenty of times when there was ice on the water too. Mostly using ScubaPro Mk25 1st stage regs which are not sealed. That said, I would be very careful when diving in air temps below 30F. A second stage can freeze quickly if it free flows or gets we...

I wonder if they have a crotch strap on that BC? It is 100% inflated and is going to give them a good jolt to the jollies!

Re: Belize Resort Recommendations Please
Maybe consider going to Roatan in Honduras instead. It's very near Belize, but there are numerous resorts that feature both shore and boat diving. I've been to CoCoView a few times, but it's been at least 16 years since my last visit. Recent trip photos and reports from friends still look great. You...

Re: New to Cold Water, looking for dive buddies!
Welcome to the PNW! I hope to see you diving with us soon. Get that Drysuit first and start talking to other local divers about what to buy next. What regulators do you have now? If in good shape they will likely be all you need for local diving. The idea of a cold water reg is a bit fuzzy. It's unl...

Very nice! I just got one of the Kraken wide wet lenses as well. I've only used it twice, but in pretty dismal vis so far.

Re: Viz Reports Thread
I dove Sunrise and Dalco Wall today and it was not bad. Sunrise was about 10 feet, and Dalco was better at 15 feet. Two nice dives with GPO's, Wolfeels, and Grunt Sculpin babies. Also a red irish lord on eggs.

When I take the rebreather to places like that, I pack an empty plastic spray bottle with a dry tablet of steramine inside. Just add water!

Re: Steramine anyone?
In tropical climates you need to be a lot more careful about slime growing in your loop. In the PNW it's not such a big problem. If I don't have the opportunity to fully rinse my loop at the end of the day a few spray pumps of steramine solution will keep it sanitary. It kills everything real good.

Re: Steramine anyone?
Yes, I use it to clean my rebreather. I use a spray bottle for a quick spritz in the hoses and mouthpiece between tear downs. When I do a full teardown I fill the sink several inches and crush a full tablet to soak hoses and lungs, etc. I do not rinse the parts again with fresh water after using the...

There is a Marker Buoy dive there tomorrow evening... I'm supposed to dive at Cove 2 in the evening, so I'm trying to find some folks who would want to dive the Junkyard earlier (I'm available any time after 2:30PM). If anyone is interested, let me know! I plan to be at the Junkyard arriving @ 3:30...

I have been actively diving CCR since 2007 with over 1000 dives on my units. I suggest you get at least a couple hundred OC dives in before you consider CCR. You really need to be relaxed in the water and completely in control of yourself and your gear. Are you the kind of person that really enjoys ...
