I'm selling my Ratio iDiveReb computer. It's a full-fledged tech computer in a watch format that can run both VPM and GF (although only one at a time) for everything up to CCR trimix. It's been a great computer, but I finally bit the bullet and got something with cell monitoring, so now need to...

I picked up a used Piranha Travel Battery kit, with the intention of using the tube to house a custom lithium battery. I have the original NiMh Cuda 400 battery left over, and do not need it. Unfortunately, WYSIWYG with this. It came fully charged, but the included charger appears to be broken...

Dont suppose that means I'll get that great deal on the BMCL, then.

I may have missed it in the neverending argument, but I'm actually more interested in Don's experience. If you don't mind sharing, how are you doing, Don? What treatments have you gone through and how are you responding? Jim

Dang dude, are you trying to get me divorced?! Bump for a great seller. I bought a booster from him, and not only did he do an awesome job of packing and working out how to get it halfway around the world to me, he also took the time to send several detailed emails regarding operation and...

It's an interesting concept, using a co2 sensor for helium and running it through some math to get helium content. The o2 side of things has been done many times, and there are some good examples floating out there to prove it. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about the specific challenges...

Per our messages, dibs on the BMCL and MAVs if you part out! Jim

Like new JMC (Kirby Morgan) M48 Supermask. Yellow. Used twice, decided it wasn't for me, so am moving it on to buy new toys. Comes with mask, OC pod, mouthpiece, swivel, carrying bag, and manual. $325 shipped CONUS. International buyers, contact me and we can work out shipping. Jim...

Still available?

Someone over on thediveforum did a similar repair. No pictures, but a text description. Link. Jim

Advanced Diver Magazine ezine issue #4 talks about this in general in an article starting on page 3. I've considered something like this for my Inspo as well, for the same reasons. Essentially you'd need to run whips with QD's from the sidemount first stages to QD's on whips connected to your O2...

Ditto. I've had an inflator go into auto-inflate once, and it was terrifying. We teach and are taught the various things you can do in that situation (swim down/butt dump, grab onto the anchor line, disconnect inflation hose, burp drysuit, etc), but when mine went, I hit the surface before I...

One of my buddies uses a plastic backplate with his Inspo and doesn't have any problems (Dive Rite ABS, I think?). I've had one, and didn't find that it saved much weight over an AL plate. I got better weight savings by changing things like the waist buckle and tank brackets. I'm currently using...

What hose size are the T pieces for? Looks like Golem offers them for HH or Meg/Inspo. Interested if it's the latter, although I feel like I can see a big "H" on one of them. Let me know. Jim

Yep. DM's problem, not mine. Unless I'm working, getting a discount, or feel like being a nice guy, tasks like these are why we pay the shop and tip the crew. From a liability standpoint, I would think it's a really bad decision to ask your customers to do things your crew should be doing.

I'm also curious why you were supposed to clip into a submerged float ball, and what the reasoning behind that was. No matter what the reasoning was, that should have been made clear during the dive briefing, NOT as you were getting tossed about in the waves after surfacing. At that point...

I'd recommend designing it so that the unit is on when the magnet is removed and the reed switch opened. That way if you manage to lose the magnet, the holder breaks, etc., your display stays on instead of turning off. I had it the opposite way on a primary light I had. The ring holding the...

Assuming their serial numbering system is sequential and not overly cryptic, could that number be deduced from a serial number from a newer unit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I started a thread asking about "the best" scooters over on TDS, which quickly turned into manufacturers and fanboys pushing their product and poo-pooing others, along with statements like "when X expedition dive a cave on mars 10,000 feet deep and 100 miles back, they relied on Y brand...

I did this a few years ago when I had my Cuda. I bought a small piece of 2 or 3 mm AL, looked at pictures online, measured my compass, and cut the shape out with a hacksaw. I found thumbscrews with the proper thread at the hardware store, too. I eventually abandoned it and moved on to a kayak...
