So I have a 150 steel so at max pressure 3400 I should have 150cubic feet, but how do I figure out what I have if my tank is now at 2400psi]]>stu13http://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=27816Wed, 15 May 2013 11:47:00 CDTEquipmentI like the idea of being able to hook a transmitter up to my daughters reg, since she is my most frequent buddy, I am wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or opinions about this PDC? Or have any suggestions about an alternative with similar features your input would be appreciated]]>Plmr747http://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=27769Mon, 13 May 2013 15:14:00 CDTEquipmentHi my wife has a brand new Sherwood Magnum, we were diving in the Bahamas last week when she checked her gauge it read 1000 psi, she had 2000 psi 5 minutes prior, she signaled to surface. I didn’t notice excessive bubbles and by the time we got to our 15’ safety stop she could hardly breathe, very little air coming through. When she surfaces she only had about 200 psi in the tank. We took the reg to the dive shop where we purchased it, he said it was a simple adjustment in the second stage. We are afraid to trust this equipment. We are new to the sport, and are not sure this is fixed. Please, I would love to hear some "experienced" advice. Thank You]]>lerpyhttp://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=27768Mon, 13 May 2013 14:31:00 CDTEquipmentThinking about getting into doubles for possible further training into the wreak/cave diving world. Looking for advice for those using doubles what size is best. Going based on I am 6’2", big guy so can carry some weight, but but don’t want to become a beast of burden. I have looked and see the spectrum is pretty much LP95 to 130’s and there seem to be some odd sizes that are used by some. I currently use a single 150.]]>zielithttp://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=27749Sun, 12 May 2013 18:36:00 CDTEquipmentHere’s the "must haves" for all scuba fashionistas.

It looks really cool and a great way to multi-use equipment. And I can carry my dive log and pics with me so I can spend valuable work time looking at my dive memories. BUT - does it work? Is it a viable tool or just a gadget? I would like to hear from a user if possible. Give us the good, the bad, and the ugly - all that apply.

Can’t wait. The place I’m getting certified in also rents gear. Figure this will be good to try a few diff setups. I def want to buy my own gear. I don’t want to start off buying beginner type gear and work up. Would like to insure as I go from beginner to deep diving my gear is up to par. Need some recommendations for what to look for and buy. I don’t really have a budget. Wife won’t be happy If I spend a vacations worth on gear but if need be so be it. Is used gear worth hunting for? Does it matter how old? Are there any great deals on packages? What should I stay away from and why? Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you Jay]]>CptFlipperhttp://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=26827Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:34:00 CDTEquipmentHello All, I’ve been diving with my cressi aquapro 5 for a long time for recreational only and when I switched to tech I used a Hollis SMS 100 double bladder. For the first couple of dives I felt that by buoyancy was terrible. I have adjusted my weight system to balance out but still felt kinda strange. Could it be the wing BCD or just all the equipment on me that made it a little hard to control buoyancy?]]>that_guy_nickhttp://www.divebuddy.com/forum_topic.aspx?ForumID=26733Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:48:00 CDTEquipmentHi guys. its time to upgrade my gear to accommodate more technical diving.

For a while now when I open it up, the program becomes non-responsive and freezes up. I have the most up to date version.
