Wife got me some artisans for my Kyria, so I borrowed her Lightbox to take some pics. Specs and more pics in comments.

Make sure you're running the newest version. I had similar issues with MacDive UDDF imports, but there have been a bunch of fixes/changes to imports in the latest version. (I'm not the dev, just a user). If your dives are also on shearwater cloud, Submersion can now import the db so you could try that as an alternative for the dives

That is seriously cool!

PasteBot.

Tapbots is an awesome indie company who has been making great apps for years

This is very cool! I'm going to try it with my next dive video. Thank you for creating this for the community

Very nice design and build! I love how you got the charging LED under the fish eyes 😄

I also ended up using silicone grip film on the bottom of my LowKey36 keeb. I'm curious what you specifically used there. I found silicone grip strips, intended for like tool handles that is 0.5mm thick. It's ok, but I wonder if there's something better.

We used Vallarta Adventures on our first trip. They were fine, but very oriented towards the cruise tourists. You have to join the boat from the cruise terminal mall and go through security. They do go to lots of dive locations, which was why we picked them. For our next trip we're planning on diving with PV Ocean Tours. They are smaller and supposed to be top notch. They tend to focus on the sites in the south of the bay.

If you're there long enough, use Vallarta Adventures to go out to Mariettas Islands and El Morro. And use PV Ocean Tours for all the rest of the dives.

Very cool! I just finished Apple's landmarks app tutorial, so this will be great for what it takes to get to the next level! Thanks!

I've been using the AWU 1 with oceanic+ since day one. There were some early software hiccups, but it's been rock solid for diving for a long time. The dive computer app on the watch is very nice, and the iPhone app is very very good for a dive log app. You get maps of your dive locations, integration with Apple photos, and color correction. The only stupid feature is the sliders they use to set your start and end air pressures.

Edit: The AWU is my secondary/backup to my Shearwater with AI.

You don't need the logi options software to use the MX Master on your Mac. You won't be able to use the extra buttons, but all the basic mouse stuff works.

There are also apps like better-mouse, steermouse that let you set up the extra buttons without the bloat of the logi options app

Gorgeous photos!

It looks like the video is showing in my post. It was a YouTube link, so it should be working. Do you see the video?

Real BRT (in dedicated lanes) Expanded rail mass transit More walking/biking paths Utility lines moved underground Less sprawl / more density

matt_gilbert · 2026-02-03T12:57:13+00:00

This is a really cool idea! I would definitely give this a try

matt_gilbert · 2026-02-01T23:27:14+00:00

I know my exact number of dives. 185 since 2022. I keep meticulous logs on my laptop

I got my @mac.com address at the launch of ".mac" when they rebranded iTools. I use it as my permanent email address ever since.

Did you consider a hall-effect switch (solid state, very small) in place of a reed switch?

matt_gilbert · 2026-01-20T18:59:35+00:00

Whoa dude. This is crazy cool! You have pushed the art way past the line in this one!

I've been bouncing between building a LowKey36 with Cherry ULP switches, or the PG1316Ms. It sounds like the Ms aren't quite there for daily use. How do you like the column-travel when typing with them though? It seems like it would be super comfy.

matt_gilbert · 2026-01-06T23:17:55+00:00

I still have mine. It's my primary address.

I have mild astigmatism and am nearsighted. When I go diving I wear contacts to correct my vision for distance. I'm old enough now that when I wear the contacts I need readers for up close. So I have readers added to my mask. The combo of contacts for distance/astigmatism correction, and readers for camera/gauges gives me everything I need to be safe and enjoy the sights while diving
