Well, here we go. It is not really 100% Hollywood. It was 100% Hollywood marketing but director and actors are second rate from Australia, which was obvious by bad job they did. I think the best quote I saw was from the person that never dove in his life. It goes something like this. “If those idiot...

Me and my team red looking at the calm sea. If sun is setting down, even better. I’ll be happy.
Having another 2000 dives would work better though.

I guess, we have to extra rinse our equipment.

I think this should go to separate thread as “How to test computers” but since there is no separate thread I’ll post it here. It happens that I am around bunch of unruly kids all day because my wife has home day care. I am sure that if I gave them my Suunto (that I don’t like) they would not be able...

Uhhh! The damage is already done. As I said before I was impressed with this computer by diving with the buddy who has it deep into Mexican caves. He had some dead pixel issues but company replaced it very quickly and he is quite happy with the unit. Reading this thread I’ll just wait and see if the...

in the current world of 'sport/recreational' decompression diving perhaps ;) ... which is what this particular computer was designed for ... ... Bob (Grateful Diver) Just came back from Mexico and had opportunity to dove with dive buddy that had X1. I loved it on his hand during deco. I didn’t both...

If I ran a Dive Shop, I would... give free air fills so divers would wear out thier gear faster. I'm saying "Tire Air" not Geezer Gas(Nitrox). For those that want the Nitrox, the "All you can eat" for an anual price is about the same thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankfull for ...

Catch if you can. Our local divers on PBS diving and talking about state of Puget Sound.

Looking for dive buddies. Nice personality but not taking myself too seriously. Have a team. Techies welcomed, although most of our dives are in 60-100 range.

like mission impossible style! :boucegreen: :boucegreen: oh what a difference the right gear (for me) makes! :boucegreen: :boucegreen: i tried out my new backplate and wing today. it was like diving an epiphany! i hovered! i stayed off the bottom for almost the entire dive! i only wore 16 pounds of...

I've flown with the 50w Salvo li-ion battery. I didn't use the airspeed press labels, but I will next time. ALL Salvo batteries are of compliant-size for flying. However, don't underestimate the moron-factor of TSA. In Puerto Rico, they laughed because they thought it was "hilarious that the b...

Ouch, I am sorry. That was us. My dive buddy told me that there was some commotion about our scooters from park and recreation people but one guy from that crowd came up and he was very helpful in assisting me to gear up (Thanks!). Never ever I heard that our scooters are not allowed. Maybe my grump...

I believe any activity that has life threatening or life ending consequences if something goes wrong can be considered extreme...however i believe for it to be considered a sport, competition must be involved. So, driving on the freeway is "extreme" then. I'm not buying it. I say, like ma...

That is Dos Ojos in Mexico. Very early so we avoided the crowd and silt up hence clear picture.

I am new to the board, but have been diving Pacific Northwest for three years so far. I am sure I met many of you during my Cove 2 adventures, although I couldn’t tell by your names or avatars. I usually dive with my regular team, which of course is “Red” colored (except one very fine lady diver who...
