Review of the Shearwater Petrel Dive Computer I’ve owned and used a number of dive computers over the years. The most recent of these was the Subgear XP10, I bought a couple years ago as a simple Nitrox computer for sport dives. Before that, I had an old Oceanic Datamax Sport for that type of […]

One of the fundamental calculations we rely on as technical divers is the SAC, or surface air consumption rate. We care because that is the primary means for determining the volume of gas we need to take along to make a given dive. The formula looks like this: SAC(cfm) = ((PSI used / working pressure) X cylinder […]
Here’s a little information about VR’s new VRx dive computer from their site. I had a discussion about it with the owner of the dive shop where I teach.

http://www.inspired-training.com/DIR%20-%20Whats%20its%20not.htm I’m not sure just what to think about DIR. There are aspects that I most certainly agree with. Gear standardization, for example, I believe makes sense. The idea that every reef diver should be carrying a 7 foot hose? I’m not so sure. Like a lot of people, I am interested in learning why […]
Update (7/19/13): Before buying the Subgear XP10 dive computer, please read my comments at the end of this post… I recently replaced my old, tried and true Oceanic Datamax Sport dive computer with the SubGear XP10.
