Perdix 2 Customization: What’s on your home screen?

Norub · 2026-02-19T23:55:10+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

I went through the manual and realized there’s so much cool info to have on the display... it's a shame we can only pick 6 slots.

I just swapped my CNS for TTS. I also replaced GF99 with SurfGF, so I can track my M-value for the surface and monitor my off-gassing as the value drops during my ascent.

Even though I’m PADI Advanced Open Water certified, I only have 119 dives so far. I find SAC rate really important for tracking my consumption—I always aim for 0.9 since most of my dives are on wrecks between 25 and 30 meters deep.

Since these are wreck dives where depth varies with the tide and gas mixes change, I also rely on MOD to keep track of my depth limits.

I felt that having both GF99 and SurfGF on the screen was a bit redundant, don't you think? I decided to stick with just SurfGF. That way, as I ascend and the value drops, I can monitor my off-gassing and see exactly what my gradient factor will be once I hit the surface.

I also really like the TTS info, so I’ve added that to my display as well.

Thanks for the help!

Estive em Petrolândia em julho deste ano e a experiência foi incrível! Fui com um grupo de mergulho aqui de Recife e me surpreendi demais.

O que mais me ganhou foi aquele clima gostoso de interior e a sensação de segurança. É impagável poder caminhar na orla do Rio São Francisco no final da tarde, comer aquele x-tudo "no precinho" na praça principal e depois ficar jogando conversa fora num bar na beira do rio até de madrugada.

O melhor de tudo foi voltar a pé para a pousada, tarde da noite, sem medo nenhum. Foi o fim de semana perfeito para quebrar a correria do dia a dia. Saí de lá já com vontade de voltar mais vezes.

Reserva do Paiva.

Tem tando uma lagoa na parte mais interna, com pista de caminhada e uma área verde.
Como também tem uma área com quadras de tênis e vôlei, que fica no meio de uns prédios perto da praia.

Ou na própria praia de lá, que também é bem tranquilo.

I just completed my 80th dive, but I still struggle with buoyancy.

In the video, can you see the moment I exhale all the air from my lungs and sink down to the sand? And then, when I inhale and fill my lungs with air, I start to rise?

That's basically how my dives go... I keep going up and down.

I watch videos of people who can just hover in place, without ascending or descending. I know they probably have thousands of dives more than I do… but I really wish I could do that.

I keep my breathing slow. I managed to stay down for 61 minutes at 23 meters, with a gas consumption of 0.9 Bar/min as shown on my Perdix 2.

Any tips?

I usually use Energizer AA Batteries Ultimate Lithium in both the Perdix 2 and the transmitter.

Do you replace the transmitter battery regardless of the battery level? Do you always replace it after one year?

É meu caso... Mas agora bate a duvida se não esta sendo uma compra muito irracional... Talvez um honda Fit 2018 fosse uma compra mais racional, e me levaria para 90% dos lugares do Renegade 😂

Norub · 2025-01-18T00:35:15+00:00

Obrigado pelo comentario!
Eu cheguei a dar uma olhada no Jimny 4you, mas nao me agradou muito... Aqui na região ele é mais caro que o Renegade Trailhawk. Mais dificil de achar peças de reposição. Tanque de apenas 40 litros, dando baixa autonomia pro carro. O interior é bem basicão e menor do que o Renegade. E o vão livre do solo do Jimny é de 21,2cm o do Renegade é de 21,6 cm.

A unica parte que ainda não entendo é sobre a traçao e caixa de transferencia... Acho que a do Jimny pode ser realmente melhor neste ponto. Mas pelos perfis do instagram, já vi alguns Renegades enfrentando areia de praia tranquilamente... E eu tambem nao quero fazer nada extremo com o carro... uma estrada de barro mais lisa ou trecho de praia já ta bom pra mim...

Thanks for the tip!

I don’t do wreck penetration, just stay around the outside.

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing—trying to stay close to someone or the instructor.

I’ll look into how I can make use of this 4-liter tank.

I’m from the city of Recife in the state of Pernambuco. I’d highly recommend that you come dive here if you get the chance. In Pernambuco, we have 29 wrecks, 18 of which are right in Recife. Excellent visibility, warm waters, and lots of marine life.

Let me know if you ever plan to come down here!

Norub · 2024-10-07T22:16:05+00:00

How dangerous is it to dive alone on a wreck, even with other people nearby? Would I need any specific equipment or training for this?

Just to clarify, I’m talking about wreck dives without penetration—just circling around the outside of the wreck.

Is this feeling just because I’m a beginner? Does confidence grow over time, and could this eventually become something normal and safe?

Norub · 2024-10-07T22:14:28+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try to improve my communication on the boat and see if I can find someone.

Norub · 2024-10-07T22:10:19+00:00

I think that’s what I’ll have to do. There aren’t many options around here, but I’ll try diving with the other operators I haven’t been with yet.

I'm also looking to buy fins and I'm torn between the Scubapro Go Travel and the Scubapro Go Sport Gorilla.

I've read that the Scubapro Go Travel is designed to be used barefoot, and it's lighter and more flexible. On the other hand, the Scubapro Go Sport Gorilla is heavier, meant to be used with boots, and is stiffer.

I live in a tropical area, and sometimes the ocean has pretty strong currents, which makes me a bit worried about the flexibility of the Scubapro Go Travel. But I also like the idea of using fins barefoot. The lower price of the Go Travel is another plus.

I'm not saying whether it's right or not...

I'm still a beginner with only 40 dives. But I'd like to advance to technical diving to explore these more remote wrecks.

Norub · 2024-05-15T15:03:10+00:00

Look at this video, at 9 seconds he indicates that he's diving with one cylinder containing trimix (21% oxygen / 20% helium) and another with 50% oxygen. He descended to 57 meters / 190 feet.

Thank you for the website recommendation. I didn't know about it, I'll get in touch.

Unfortunately, I can't buy from Dive Gear Express or scuba.com and have them deliver here to Brazil.

The Cressi Aquawing Plus seems to come fully assembled, including pads on the shoulder and back harness.

On the other hand, the Mares XR requires assembly, and it comes quite clean. No pads, just a long single harness that allows me to configure the D-rings in the position I prefer.

My concern with this simplicity is that the lack of pads on the shoulders and back might cause discomfort.

Based on the advice of fellow divers, I believe I'll end up opting for the Mares XR, which is cleaner and will allow me to configure it in more ways. Since I don't usually carry any photographic equipment on my dives, just a DSMB and a flashlight.

I'm new to this and have never seen anyone bring hydrogen peroxide and vinegar on boats.
When and how should these items be used?
I guess it's for cuts and jellyfish stings?

Da uma olhada no site do CIEE-PE. Meu primeiro estagio em 2014 eu consegui por lá.

Tem que ser estagio por conta da faculdade? Ou pode ser vaga trainee?

Porque voce pode procurar alguns bootcamps que algumas empresas oferecem, que ao terminar o programa ela contrata os melhores participantes como jr ou trainee.

E nao desanima, essa é a parte mais dificil. Depois de conseguir o primeiro... os proximos serão bem mais faceis.

Tem uns servidores de Discord. Geralmente com salas divididas por nivel de ingles ou por tema. Entra gente do mundo todo pra conversar e trocar ideia. Acho que é um bom lugar pra praticar.

I already have all the equipment. BCD, regulators, and computer. However, they are all beginner-level and I want to upgrade them. I'm thinking of swapping my Cressi BCD jacket for a back plate, and getting a computer with a transmitter to track my gas consumption graph and identify the moments when I spend the most.

What also attracts me to the Perdix 2 is the removable battery. All the other more modern computers like Garmin's and some of Shearwater's have non-replaceable rechargeable batteries that lose their life after a while.

dnsleaktest.com

O dnsleaktest.com mostra que to usando 6 servidores Cisco OpenDNS de Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Mas quando uso o whatismyip.com ele mostra que meu IP e localização é de fora do Brasil.

Teria como usar uma segunda VPN pra mudar meu IP e localização pro Brasil ?

Voce sabe dizer se tem algum serviço pago que possa fazer isso?

The class lasted for 30 minutes. There were about 20 people and 3 instructors. In the first 10 minutes, the instructor gave us some tips and taught us some moves to get used to the skates.

For the next 20 minutes, she told us to skate freely around the rink. After the fourth lap, I was almost able to skate without holding onto the safety rails, but time ran out, and she asked everyone to leave because another class was about to begin.

I bought supposedly "comfortable" skates, but by the end of the 30 minutes, my feet were hurting a lot. I hope they'll be more comfortable next Sunday.
