ScubaPro Aladin H Matrix Dive computer

by DavidnPeggy on April 20, 2019

I am wondering if anyone out there knows how to hack my dive computer.

While diving at Turneffe Atoll recently my dive computer decided to punish me for an unspecified infraction. presumable partial pressure violation for depth while on Nitrox Nitrox. Yes the actual Nitrox % was less than the entered %.While I could use the dive computer on subsequent days. The computers built in punishment requires it to be not used for 48 hours before removing it from gauge mode.

While a respect the parameters, I do not understand why a computer would not use the critical dive information to help keep me safe on subsequent dives, ...

Miflex\Braided vs standard hoses

by David 'dibs' Bishop on May 01, 2017

Hi AllJust wondering thoughts on Miflex or braided hoses vs standard - I recently 'upgraded' mine and my fiancees regs with these in part for the colour options and my perception that they should be superior in flexability and weight. (Colours & durability back fired as I ended up diving with a pink hose in Egypt).Just thought someone might have an informed opinion on whether it was the right way to go or not?Thanks in advanceDavid 'Dibs's Bishop

Scuba with a Monofin?

by Gia on April 14, 2017

I've been intrigued by monofins of late, and their efficiency in freediving. I was curious as to whether there might be a benefit to using a monofin in scuba but found very little discussion of it online-- one or two people who have said that they've done it and liked it, and that's about it.

Has anyone here tried using a monofin for scuba and have thoughts?

Diving with the X-15 Monofin Hydrofoil

by Nico Danan on June 19, 2014

I recently took the new Oceanic Omega 3.0 regulator for a few scuba dives in both the Mediterranean sea and Kauai. I really have nothing but good thing to say about this rather small and stylish redesigned and improved regulator. In high currents and challenging workload situation the Omega 3.0 surprised me with a smooth and constant air delivery. Although not a huge fan of side exhaust second stage, the Omega 3.0 won me over taking my stream of bubble away from my face and behind me , opening my field of view while I was cruising the Hawaiian coral reef.
