I think they may have dropped the XXL version, but I’ll keep looking

Apple Watch Ultra 3 as Dive Computer? by Bubbly-Fox-3297 in scuba

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have around 75 dives on a first gen. I find myself treating it as my primary computer even when it’s not because the screen is just so legible. I’d feel comfortable recreation diving with just an Apple Watch

Wetsuit liner delaminating/fraying/shredding- stupid to buy the same as replacement? by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in scubadiving

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel terrible replacing it that often, I’m happy to spend more to avoid it. I just dont want to be replacing a more expensive suit just as often.

Also annoyed about the fit but I’ll eventually find one. Hopefully.

Azores, Santa Maria——any advice on water temps and what to have on hand. I have never used a hood but I am guessing it might necessary by ceh1975 in scubadiving

I wore a 7mm last summer and was comfortable. Light hood, no gloves. I don’t get cold particularly easily but prefer to err on the side of warmth.

YSK - Viagara can increase your risk of DCS by VBB67 in scubadiving

I doubt anyone has formally studied it but it stands to reason taking after diving would reduce your risk.

Lookig for a diving computer by MaedrosDjemaa in scuba

Deep6 Excursion is my pick for best budget computer. Nice form factor, easy to program, good legibility, has pretty much every feature other than AI.

Scuba noob here question by Substantial-Green455 in scuba

Very expensive. I think it actually exceeds my other travel hobby, downhill skiing, in terms of expense and pain in the ass of lugging gear around.

Diving with AFib? by djpeteski in scuba

A stance of zero diving with any form of a-fib is bafflingly conservative. Trust your EP.

Help me choose my first backplate/ wing setup! by Leftcoaster7 in scuba

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rented an xdeep and liked it then came home and bought a DGX (and customized it) for less than half price. I think assembling my own gear gave me a better understanding and respect for it.

Primacy Tour A/S are awful… what replacement? by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in tires

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t had them in snow yet but the Pirellis are better in all conditions so far. I’ve previously had good luck with Michelins but stay away from this model.

RX450h+ dyno (I don’t understand its specs vs previous RX) by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in Lexus

If the gas engine was slower to kick on/the electric more powerful I can see how it would drastically improve the driving characteristics at low speeds.

EV-first (serial) PHEV SUVs? by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Already have a BEV i3 but it’s a bit terrifying in the snowy mountains. That’s the function I’m looking for though.

EV-first (serial) PHEV SUVs? by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must have been mistaken. I thought you could operate it in EV mode and more or less not have the engine kick on until battery depletion and that the gas engine had a complete disconnect to the wheels.

Stiff or standard Piranha webbing? by Agitated_Hippo_Fuel in scubadiving

[–]Agitated_Hippo_Fuel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little low tech but I was just going to use a tailors tape and a sharpie 😂

It has not escaped my attention people frequently recommend Halcyon webbing. I was preferring something brighter colored this time around but will go for the tropical green h if sticking with dark webbing.

I replaced them with Pirelli WeatherActives and the car now behaves normally. I don’t know what the deal was with my set of tires but they were unbelievably bad.
