    co2 hits? bov or not

    Interesting, I just recently did a 10 minute maximal swim OC with a rebreather on my back and three 80s clipped on to see what my SAC rate would be for near worst case BO. I could not have finned any harder and it took me a long time to regain my normal breathing rate after the test. My...

    Bungees on a Shearwater Petrel 2?

    Michael you should contact shearwater as your experience of the compass seems entirely at odds with my experience and the experience of anyone I've discussed the compass with. It's usually very tolerant of tilt. Perhaps yours has a problem.

    Mouthpiece Retaining Head-strap

    I have found it critical (on a rEvo) that the DSV has to start in a neutral position. If there is an upward or downward bias then the gag strap seems to exaggerate that. Play with how tight you are doing it up and where on the back of the head the strap lies. There'll be a sweet spot in there...

    Open Letter to Paul Raymaekers

    Mark, you are starting to sound a little preachy? ;0) Not an option though if you've bailed due to an internal O2 leak eh? What was that about testing the BOV before/when you get in the water? ;0) <conjecture alert> I think there are behavioural drawbacks with the use of a BOV such as...

    Gopro alternative

    Pretty impressed with this. http://www.aeecam.co.nz Includes a 100m rated housing and a mate took his on a dive with me to a bit over that depth rating a couple of days ago and it was fine. Not sure how many deep dives the housing will withstand. We will see. I'm sick of my GoPro freezing on...

    Diving too carefully?

    The Dunning Kruger effect. :0) The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize...

    Diving too carefully?

    Then don't include it in your discussion if you're so respectful of his privacy! You said "I also had a private conversation with G on this matter,..." you wrote that in an attempt to insinuate that you were correct due to information you could not disclose. In doing so you disclosed (if...

    Diving too carefully?

    So you have a secret, one that can't be revealed publicly, but that at the same time you rely on in your argumentation. An argumentum sub rosa? How convenient for you, and how obscurantist of you to behave in this manner.

    Diving too carefully?

    No Ross he doesn't make anything up, he merely read what GLOC had written more closely than you (which is the same thing as saying he actually bothered to read it). "However, when I got back to the UK I had a PFO test with Dr Mark Turner and found that I had an 8mm x 12mm PFO which has been...

    Diving too carefully?

    Ross, is this yet another thread in which you are going to play "make believe" with your qualifications and expertise? If so, I hope the authentic experts, once again, have the time and stamina to refute your fantasies.
