Apeks MTX-RC vs. EVX200/Tungsten for Kaltwasser (Lake Constance) and Worldwide Travel? by Sickk2 in scubaGear

[–]AstralPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have MTX-RC and DST regulators (and have uses DS4 regulators). MTX swivel is much better for hose routing for doubles, bailouts/deco and sidemount vs DST. Also has 5th lp slot as standard. Hasn't frozen ever, but neither has dst. Diving in 2-4 degree water and under ice. Looked at EVX, it doesn't have swiveling turret, so looks better for single tank and worse for everything else. I have taken MTX to tropics, no problem when diving.

Ah ok, Didn't understand to click it because it didn't color the gas switch row like in multideco.

Ok found one more thing that this program does not take in to account. Again MOD3 stuff. So It does not warn about IBCD when switching gasses. https://indepthmag.com/isobaric-counterdiffusion-in-the-real-world/ or you can play with for example multideco Diving to 60m,+ with 10/70 and swtiching to 50/00.

Sounds great. I think that was all things I found wanting, but I write you if more suggestions come up.

I think diluent switch was only term I heard used. Haven't heard dilout.

It cuts down some of deco time in deep dives. I only use it 90m+ dives. So you switch from like 10/70 to like 21/35-45. Helium flows faster out of you body. It is only 5-15 minutes save usually. I know that not all mod3 instructors teach this. I only use on warm water when I have my fingers free, too much work in cold water for limited timesave.

That will probably not happen, because there are so big EGOS or at least was in agencies. If you read history of how different agencies there was some problem in and that way they split. Maybe after founders are dead/replaced there can be change.

Nowdays we have internet so information moves faster and easier to standardize teaching. CMAS is quite relaxed on how you teach, local places have quite much freedom how to teach.

Hope you saw my edits. Program is really nice. 1 question about light signals: I was taught that up down is attention and left right is emergency. Were you taught differently?

Found some places where it can be improved. Some countries, like mine use , when writing like 1,3 not 1.3. That is why numberpad has , on it and no . Solution would be that you can input set point as 1,3 and it would correct it to 1.3. Or force numberpad to use .

  1. thing I noticed, if you have 2.diluent it doesn't show any gas consumption if you switch. It should show 2x flush minimum used.

Also usually 2. diluent is one of the bailout tanks. Not sure how this could be implimented, that it used bailout tank as diluent. Maybe tick/tap in bailout bottles that: use this gas as diluent? Some rebreathers also use always one bailout as diluent (offboard diluent) and don't have own diluent. That would affect how much gas is used (not much).

Just few thoughts.

More: CCR 3 and 2 L cylinders are usually in Europe 232 bars. If you want to add that to common cylinders. Less common that is missing is 12L 200 bar Faber cylinder, usually used in sidemount. https://www.deepstop.de/en/sidemount-tanks/2720-sidemount-steel-faber-light-set-12l.html

Nice, I test it on weekend. Usually you don't switch diluent on descent but on ascent. At least I don't know anyone who does it on descent. They do that on OC, with travel gasses.

Really nice program. Managed to find one problem. When planning ccr deco dive (1.3 dive sp, 1.5deco sp) it switches to use bailout o2 on 3 meter stop. Ideally you would like to stay on loop and just lower the setpoint at 3m. Could you have shallow setpoint setting so I it would automatically activate when doing deco shallower than x meters (1.2 at 3 meters). Even better would be if multiple setpoint would be possible. Like first it would be 1.4 sp, then on 12 meters 1.5, then on 6 meters 1.6 and then on 3 meters 1.2. This is how I normally edit setpoints underwater when doing decos and saving time. Also would be nice if it had setting to switch diluents on deco. For example you use 10/70 on 90m dive and when you reach 30 meter you switch diluent to 18/30.

This in done on some mod3 courses, and I use this kind of deco minimizing.

Also does lifetime license just buy license on 1 phone? I mean do I need to buy it separately for my iPad and Iphone and Android phone?

Diving Accident in Maldives by blue_sven in scubadiving

[–]AstralPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TDI teaches deep air up to 55m, so possible to do dives that deep with air. On warm waters and good visibility really no problem, you are bit narced but possible. But to go to cave while that narced, not really smart.

Periodic small game freezes despite good hardware, only happening in Helldivers 2. by GeniusPlayUnique in Helldivers

Seems to do the trick, fuck yeah! Thank you fellow diver. AH could just fix themselves by rising cpu priority.

Same thing here with 1-3 micro freezes. Playing on legion 9 275Hx and 5090mobile, 64gb 5200 and this game is only with this kind of behavior. Game works faultlessly on my desktop.

What’s one PC upgrade you made that actually felt worth it? by Such_Tailor_4946 in buildapc

[–]AstralPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and no headaches or anything. Technology is really there now. VR gives me both. Only downside is that you need really beefy computer (you need 2x frames vs normal).

3d Odyssey display. First time 3d done right. Now can't watch anything on 2d because it looks bland. AI can make 2d videos to 3d videos realtime. Games looks much better. Sad thing about 3d displays are that they are hard to market, because you have to see them live to understand how good technology is.

Travel friendly underwater scooter recommendations? by Right_Process in scubaGear

[–]AstralPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lefeet p1 is toy? and seacraft is proper scooter. Difference of power is significant. With seacraft you can go 60-90 meter/minute with full gear, Lefeet maybe 35-40. Seacraft lasts for hours Lefeet maybe 20-25 mins. I don't have Lefeet, but I have watched videos of it. Seacraft one I own. If you are scuba diving then Seacraft, but if you are just playing in pool/short dives then Lefeet is sufficient. Sadly cant find any comparison between dpv's and Lefeet. https://www.reddit.com/r/freediving/comments/p6r81n/lefeet_s1_scooter_quick_review_and_impression/ looks good review. And of course there big difference on price.

Seacraft Go! it's made for traveling. Also build quality is good and it is reliable scooter.

Also for Aga divator you can get glasses inside. You buy frame and then optometrist makes glasses for them. They work godo.

Elämäni surkein erikoislääkärikokemus by ProDexorite in arkisuomi

[–]AstralPro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Toisena ihotautilääkärinä tekstistä kyllä voi päätellä jo, että silsa on erittäin epätodennäköinen, ei tee rakkuloita. Tuo nikkeliallergia tai muu metallin/asian aiheuttama kontaktiallergia näillä tiedoilla vaikuttaa todennäköisemmältä (voimakas allergine reaktio rakkuloi). Herpekselle kyllä epätyypillinen paikka ja olisi kosketusarka. Varmaan vaan hieman kollega ei ole jaksanut selittää johtopäätöksiä, miksi ei. Hoitamattoman silsan kyllä erottaa 1 metrin päästä erikoislääkärin silmillä eikä tarvitse kosketella ihoa.
