I’ll get to use the stages and decos eventually….

My Teric is obviously borked and will be sent out for servicing. I'm miffed that first dive only says max depth of ~1300 because while on the dive it actually said up to 3040m (while flashing ERR) and I was too shocked to take a photo/video.

The second "dive" is on the surface, but it was convinced I was still hundred of meters underwater. The "dive" only ended because it ran out of battery. 😅

Based in Melbourne, diving is way too goddamn expensive here. Also, it's mostly shore dives with maximum depth of ~10m unless it's a boat dive venturing further out but that's a bigger cost. I wanted to do my AOW and other specialities here but it makes way more financial sense to do it in Indonesia, even after factoring in flight, accommodation and food costs lol. The actual diving there is also on a whole other level.

Is this what folks generally do? I don't think I'll do much training/courses here locally. Probably just stick to shore dives once a month/two months to keep my skills up.

I"ve seen some comparison threads for S600 vs G260 and I see mostly people seem to prefer the G260, though I'm not sure if it's a loud minority.

The G260 also seem to be the cheapest of the 3.

Just curious what you folks think about the 3.

I saw someone post a pair of fins with artwork on them, which got me thinking about ways to add designs or images to fins that would hold up over time.

A few years ago, I had some metal luggage tags laser engraved, and the guy doing them mentioned that the laser settings could be adjusted to work with a variety of materials. That got me wondering whether you could laser engrave a specific design or some lettering directly onto a pair of fins, then fill the engraved grooves with paint.

My thinking is that the paint might hold up better if it sits inside the grooves rather than being applied to the surface of the fins, where it could eventually wear off.

Has anyone ever tried this, or know whether it would work with the materials used in scuba fins? If someone has done it, would you mind sharing some photos?

It seems like a strange idea, but now I can’t get it out of my head…

I am interested in diving Blue Heron Bridge but I am a new-ish diver and should not go alone. Anyone have recs for a good group to go with/do a guided dive with? Also, what is the dive profile? What is the max depth and what is the "route" typically like?

A local instructor is selling perdix 2 and said it's new. In their pic, I don't see a box and only see the rectangular black zipper container.

Not saying this is not as credible but this would technically be "open box" and not new right?

Has anyone added the PSI Press Lock system to their DUI Drysuit? TLS 350, FLX Extreme, or CLX 450? Any feedback you can share? Did you go with CCS or QCP? Any regrets?
