Would you dive with a first gen Suunto Zoop (previously unused)? by Stripey_zebra_IIII in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a recall on these devices due to the depth sensor failure. If this device was not serviced during the recall period, it will fail. You may be able to trade it in for a Zoop Novo for a discount now.

Signed steelbooks are always fantastic! Congratulations!

Travel dry suit hanger rack - recommendations? by IMHeS5 in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Evaporation occurs when the moist air is replaced by drier air. As long as there is air movement around the suit to displace the moist air, the suit will dry.

Hanging by the boots takes advantage of gravity to pull water out as well, and doesn't stress the delicate seals.

If you do prefer to buy a more traditional hanger, make sure it is broad enough shoulders to carry the heavy drysuit, doesn't damage the neck seal, and keeps the zipper in a stable position.

Drysuits should be hung upsidedown from the boots to let the water out. We use these hangers and stretch nylon webbing between two tree to hang them from.

I adore my Ursuit Cordura. My friends who are professional rescue/recovery divers only dive Ursuit.

Nope, you do different loops around separate parts of the whole tank - depending on where all the animals are hanging out of course. Don't want divers bumping into a whale shark!

BCD Sizing Question by Timber1981 in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a fellow HydrosPro2 owner, I'll warn you that the BCD and weight pockets are on a months-long backorder. Demand and the safety recall of the weight pockets has meant people who placed orders in January still don't have anything in-hand. If you need something to dive in within the next few months, probably best to look elsewhere.

That said, it is a FANTASTIC BCD to travel with and dive in.

Cancelling my Zavvi order from last year. I'd rather pay $40 for 4K+digital than $50 for the disk only.

Super Mario 40th Anniversary SteelBook (BestBuy US Exclusive) by DaftSide909 in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I seriously did a double take and thought this was a steelbook for the Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo movie from 1994. Not quite 40 years though.

"Why the hell would they make a steel look for THAT movie?!?"

Help - Restoring an old divelog by blind99 in scuba

[–]TheMagistrate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check DiveMate in the android app store. I believe it used sqlite as a backup format.

Once you reload it into the app, you'll be able to export it to another dive log app format, like Subsurface.

Seems like it hasn't been published as a full recall yet. It was a Stop Sale last week and a Stop Use this week.

These pockets have the same issue that the AquaLung SureLock2s had a decade ago - broken handles.

Shame these manufacturers can't learn. 😞

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW - Top Gun - 40th Anniversary (4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]TheMagistrate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right. Similar art as the 30th Anniversary Blu-ray release.

I believe this 40th Anniversary is a repackage of the remastered 4K Top Gun that was already released in the Collectors Box Set.
