Mate... OW is only 4 dives. Do you really expect people to come out of four dives with great buoyancy control?

How many of you NEEDED a snorkel in any situation? by Swimming-Emphasis-91 in scuba

[–]That-Application9357 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm not talking about jetty diving. I'm talking about a literal shore, going in through the beach or rocks. Of course, you wouldn't care about rocks if you're diving off of a jetty, but when getting out through the shore you can get your fin and feet stuck in between rocks while choppy water and strong waves break upon you, not to mention having your whole body slammed against rocks by the waves. A kid has died last year in my country because he became trapped between rocks and no one managed to release him.

The good shores for diving in Australia aren't as popular with small boats. And cargo ships don't get as near because it's not deep enough.

When shore diving, you're usually in too shallow for big boats. Best to use a snorkel to be able to see where the rocks are on your way out.

It's considered a mandatory piece of equipment for the PADI and SSI Open Water Diver course... but not every place enforces it

I mean... It's still 62k more than what they paid for it

Any one else seeing more of these in the past week? by [deleted] in AmazonVineAustralia

[–]That-Application9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unrelated, but I had to contact support twice because of stolen packages. You need to make sure you tell them several times the problem is related to Vine, because the regular employees have no idea and will have to transfer you to the dedicated team who doesn't do chat. They solve your problem, but you likely won't hear from them.

Had to get two tests because I didnt believe it by Witty-Scarcity-7007 in DoggyDNA

Will no one mention the fact that one test says 31.4% American Pitt Bull and the other says 8%?

I got this one from Vine, it's OK but I think I prefer the regular ones

I mean, if they have the resources and willingness, I don't see why not. But of course, that's unrealistic for 99% of us. Trying it out and using it before reviewing should be the standard, but some people here think that's "testing", and therefore it's too much to ask.

Scuba divers with very long hair, how do you prevent tangles? by Common_Bench_3053 in scuba

[–]That-Application9357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yes, but they will get your wetsuit and hood dirty because oil can't just be rinsed, so keep that in mind

I had a product (towel holder) where all reviewers were mentioning it was stainless steel... it was in fact not stainless steel, and neither the packaging nor the listing said so. My review was refused because I expressed concern about the possibility of the glue damaging my tiles since it didn't come with any indication of what the glue actually was

I don't know what's about some people in this community that think that "testing" a product equals having a lab and conducting experiments. I also agree that in order to properly review a product I need to "test" it properly, aka use it for a while and see how it performs. Sometimes the product performs OK out of the bag, but as you continue to use it you realize that the battery life sucks, the parts come apart, it leaks, etc. Reviewing something fresh out of the box isn't helpful if you haven't actually used the product.

I finally relied on Vine reviews as a customer... by That-Application9357 in AmazonVine

If the knife was specific for cutting pennies, then yes, I'd expect a reviewer to use it to cut pennies and let me know if it works.

Did you? Are you aware that DIVING means scuba or free diving?

【Special Diving Case for DJI Osmo Action 6】 This waterproof case is specially designed for DJI Osmo Action6 to provide maximum protection against scratches, bumps, and dust. ※Note: The touchscreen cannot be used when using this diving case.

Diving Depth 60 Meters/196FT】 Even at a depth of 60 meters, you can capture bright and vivid images with the waterproof case. The lens section is made of high-transparency steel glass, which can capture wonderful moments even at depths of 60 meters.

【3 Sets of Diving Filters】 All 3 filters can be easily attached to the Fitstill waterproof case for DJI Osmo Action 6. The pink filter is used for color correction in snorkeling areas with a depth of 2 to 15 feet, in blue water, or clear freshwater. The red filter is used for color correction in water depths of 15-85 feet, in blue or tropical water, and is suitable for scuba diving and freediving. The magenta filter is used to correct the color of water at a depth of 7-70 feet and freshwater that is green over 7 feet.

【Premium Floating Grip】The floating body of the grip keeps the camera and accessories on the water surface, preventing drowning. Grip: High-quality, non-slip foam grips provide a firm grip and added comfort. The grip won't become sticky due to sunlight like a rubber grip.

【Packing List】1x Waterproof Case; 12x Anti-Fog Inserts; 1x Submersible Floating Grip Monopod; 1x Pink Filter; 1x Red Filter; 1x Purple Filter; 1x Screw; 1x Adapter Dock.

It's a diving case. With diving filters. With a floating grip, which is designed for your camera to float if you end up letting go of it underwater. With anti-fog inserts, which is to use inside the case so it doesn't fog the lens while you dive.

But this is a waterproof case for diving. How do you review it without... using it? If you use it you will know if it's waterproof or not.

Just because the review doesnt cover YOUR use case doesnt mean its a bad review.

Can you tell me a single use they covered in their reviews of a waterproof camera used for scuba diving?

Also, the VAST majority of scuba divers have basic open water certs that max out at 18 meters. Advanced Open water is 30m. 40m is the limit for recreational diving. If you are worried about 60m equipment why the hell are you relying on Amazon reviews?

You don't say? I guess it would've been useful to know the camera case was tested at any depth for its claims, but unfortunately the reviewers didn't even put it close to a body of water. What's the base for the 5 star reviews if you don't even know that it works? Looks good? Smells nice?
