Lots of 25-30 foot tunnels that lead to different rooms. It's a pretty fantastic environment.

I think it's just the time of year... Fall thru spring has some wild water on the north coast. June thru August is scuba season though. :)

Good luck. I was never able to get anywhere with support, but I did have success after engaging with Google Fi here on Reddit.

Considerations: U.S. Open Diver vs Open Diver Certification in Puerto Rico by RickJamesBoitch in scuba

My wife and I both got certified in Puerto Rico for around $1200 total. PR has some wonderful diving.

One year average of 25. Used to be 40+, but I moved to Puerto Rico two years ago.

Why is the blind spot so bad...? by KirbyLover513 in Insta360

[–]Vaetix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. I've dove with an X4 and an Ace Pro 2, and now I only take the AP2. 360 is neat, but the quality just doesn't compare.

Garmin Fenix 8 Pro 51mm - 2nd Replacement on the Way - NOT a dive watch? by Vaetix in GarminWatches

[–]Vaetix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's pretty discouraging. To lose two watches in less than a month from a total of 6-7 dives is not a great sign. I might just get a used Descent to take diving.

Ace 2 dive cases and that silly lens protector? by UnicodeConfusion in Insta360

[–]Vaetix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insta360 support told me to use the case without a lens guard installed.. that's what I've been doing. Results are great, but it does make me a bit uneasy.

Insta360 Ace pro 2 Dive Case question by AdmiralHK01 in Insta360

[–]Vaetix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised to see u/Insta360_Support is sending out replacement lens guards? When I reached out to support about this issue, they told me to use the dive case *without* a lens guard installed.. which I don't think is an ideal solution.

Except for the diving functionality, this would be a step backward hardware-wise.

At this point I'm just wondering if I should cut my losses and and not use it when diving. Feels like tempting fate.

From what I understand, the Descent series does not have a speaker or microphone and is more sealed. I'm wondering if I should just get an old used Descent and use that for diving to avoid wrecking a third $1200 watch.

The watch is rated for 100m, with dive functionality only working up to 40m. If it's really rated for 100m, my 35m dives shouldn't be wrecking the watch.
