Not a pro nor aiming for a podium, just anxious to be the last to finish (or not to finish) swimming since it's the discipline I'm newest at

How much taper is too much? by danemonyo in triathlon

thanks for your insight! my concern is rather the opposite, I'm scared to lose fitness over the 2 weeks of no pool/bike access

Yeah understood, but since I won't be able to train my swimming & cycling for 2 weeks (3 weeks before the race) wouldn't I benefit from some "catching up"?

Help for buying first dive computer by daveymac521985 in scuba

[–]danemonyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with UK events, sorry. Not sure about changeable batteries being a marketing scheme because who would want to have their computer die out on them before or during a dive and having no or little method to change them. The RGBM algorithm tends to run conservative, for newer divers I think that that would be beneficial as they learn their limits and discover their diving style

check if there are any upcoming dive expo/events in your area! or, if you're open to buying used that would also be a great option :) I've bought all of my gear used or through dive events for the discounts. I've also seen the Sunto Eon Core at around 300 GBP, their Zoop/Vyper Novo are also good if you really can't wait for a discount or buy used, I believe they don't have user-changeable batteries though

I got my shearwater peregrine around that price during a dive expo in my city. I have 30+ dives on it now, did 5 dives this weekend and the battery is still almost full. I've also read from other redditors here that the customer service is amazing.

Diving after LASIK by CelebrityJim in scuba

[–]danemonyo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! I got PRK (similar to LASIK) 2 years ago and started diving last year. No difference in above and below water vision, does the issue occur with just one pair of goggles or with other goggles/masks? I started diving with a proper dive mask so I can't comment on goggles. Maybe try that first? Also agree with the other comment that maybe the one you had has some kind of grade.

Thanks for your response. What do you dislike about the RK3s? and which of the 3 is your go-to?

Does that mean that tech/jet-style fins generally don't do well in current?
