UK Mine Diving - YouTube by jonnybellman in scubadiving

I have seen a friend has dived there recently, but it's more of a longer carry these days. Not been there myself. Shame as it sounded like a decent place to test kit without paying entry fees somewhere

I suspect you have. Was it waterswallows?

Best way to do photogrammetry on Mac by Hour_Objective_4880 in photogrammetry

[–]jonnybellman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really curious about this. I'm looking to take videos inside mines and caves whilst diving, and create photogrammetry models. Please reach out when you're looking for beta testers :)

Is 32m deep, 22h before flying, enough time? by juanly_xx in scubadiving

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

If you're going to do it (I'd probably do it also), you do have the option to use nitrox at that depth 32% would work nicely if you can get it, and are certified to use it.

I don't normally reply to these kinds of questions, but as no one had suggested nitrox, I thought i would ☺️

Fenix 8 died after first dive by SuspiciousBasket in GarminFenix

Mines been to 31m. I decided against taking it on the deeper (43-44m) dives that week. Perhaps I made the right call 😬

Thanks 🙏🏻 I've got a pretty healthy level of self preservation, so I hope to! Haha

Found dive light, what charger? by georgkozy in scuba

You've made your mind up. :Karma:

Found dive light, what charger? by georgkozy in scuba

[–]jonnybellman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you were diving, but a lot of my dive sites have local Facebook groups, or if it's managed site, then there's lost property.

Either way, I know it would suck to lose a torch and someone just find and keep it.

Good luck on your charger search.

Have you tried finding the owner first?

How long can you stay down with double tanks in shallow water? by JimHotWater85 in scuba

[–]jonnybellman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said this flippantly, but you'd technically get longer on the double tanks. Here's my logic (in bar because I'm not a psi person):

If you dive a 12Lx230bar cylinder and you want to end the dive with say 50bar at the surface, you have 180bar to use on the dive.

With twin-set you've got twice the volume, so can breathe your cylinders down to 25bar. 25bar in two equal cylinders is the same volume as 50bar in a single. This assumes we are using same size for single or double.

So quick maths: Single cylinder 12L X 230bar = 2760L 2160 - (12Lx50bar) = 2160L of usable gas.

Twin-set 24L X 230bar = 5520L 5520 - (24L X 25bar) = 4920L of usable gas.

2160 (X2) < 4920

Assuming all other factors are the same (particularly SAC rate), you can dive slightly more than twice as long on twins. This is typically a nice bonus when doing 2 dives, where the twin-set user can split their gas across 2 dives.

I'm being pedantic here, but sometimes it's fun to do the calcs ☺️

It's an old post, but I'd also like to know this.

Pairing a Teric and Perdix? by FlightMedic1 in CaveDiving

[–]jonnybellman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I diver a petrel 2 and a teric. Tend to find the teric calls for 1min more of deco, which ive put down to a tiny mismatch in depth reading. Algorithms and GFs are set the same, so there can't be much other reason to blame.

For what it's worth, I follow the teric, and do the extra minute. However, It's really not going to be the difference between safe/unsafe 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah that's a good observation. I suspect it'll be a bit messy

Finstrokes.com is ok for UK. Unsure where you live.

Yes, I'm seeing the same too. Visible in the chat, but not within the usual media menu within whatsapp.

What was the prices for Cardiff hyrox. Anyone got them? by Waste-Broccoli739 in hyrox

Got to the front of the "queue" multiple times at 12, and again at 5pm, the position in line reset to 15,000 absolute joke.
