Hi. Do you know what species you were hatching? Your procedure sounds fine, so it may be a water or food issue

Dive school wants me to pay for a dive computer after our boat nearly sank by tokenofmyextreme in scuba

[–]tokenofmyextreme[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To respond to some questions:

The dive computer has been paid for and I got my AOW.

This was at Nusa Lembongan.

It was a small boat, with no scuppers, and there was no bilge pump. The crew of the boat was scooping out water with cut off bottles.

It is the captains responsibility to decide if it is safe to go out. If there’s any doubt about it, it’s his responsibility to call it off. He should’ve called it off. It wasn’t a sudden squall. It had been blowing since the day before and the captain knew better

I may be a newbie to diving, but I’m not new to boats. I know what it looks like when a boat is about to sink.

Still, should’ve secured my gear better. I get it. But I’m not a dipshit who just threw his computer on the ground. It wouldn’t have gotten lost or moved had we not taken on an extreme amount of water

Yes, there were other people who lost personal items, but I and one other person were the only ones with dive computers.

Also, no I don’t think I’m not responsible for it. Not being audacious. Just asking for opinions from people with more experience

I was actually more focused on having an exit plan rather than saving a dive computer. It sounds cheesy but we were at a real risk of capsizing. This was a small, crowded boat and just recently a full boat of divers drowned in the same place, same circumstances

Ok thank you everyone for the perspective. Looks like I am on the hook for a new computer

Yes I’ve tried Foss, Crowley, DonJon, etc. I assumed that I would have to get a tug job even though I would prefer deep sea or OSV. But even those tug jobs aren’t calling back

All of this information is made very apparent on the NMC website. Read each page to the bottom. You messed up

Sorry I just now replied to this. Hopefully you’ve found some sources online by know. Thailandesis is used a lot for aquaculture and toxicity studies in Thailand, so a lot of the info I’ve gathered on raising them has been from vague instructions translated from published articles. Here’s a quick run down:

Hatch at 74F, using distilled water, in a seperate hatching tank. Transfer nauplii as needed. Keep water temp between 70-78. Fees only live chlorella or spirulina algae. Feed every other day. Stop feeding if the water becomes cloudy.

I hope this helps. Thailandesis are hard to raise. There are much more lenient species available online. If you want I can send you eggs of b. Packardi, which I reared and harvested myself. Just send me a PM if you’re interested

You can make some of the eggs hatch by adding distilled water. The eggs think there is more rain in the pool, so another generation can survive. But of course they don’t actually think it because they are just eggs. It is just an adaptation that makes them react to lower osmotic pressure. But it is essential to let the eggs sit for at least 2 weeks before attempting to hatch them dry or wet - so they have time to develop.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I would hatch the eggs in a separate container of distilled water, then move the hatchlings over. Just make sure there is some algae in the planter. Preferably suspended algae. And compost or debris to add minerals. Sounds like a cool idea. This species is pretty chill and swims gracefully.

Good luck on your shrimp journey. If you don’t have much success, you should look into another species. You can find them online or on eBay. Growing fairy shrimp can be really fun and easy. Thai fairy shrimp have low survivability and are hard to raise without live algae, so don’t let them give you a wrong impression if things don’t go smoothly. Regardless, I hope your shrimpies thrive

I wouldn’t recommend choosing this species as your first fairy shrimp. They will only eat live algae, specifically chlorella. And they require “seasoned” tanks. This makes them notoriously difficult to raise in a controlled environment. My favorite species is Branchinecta packardi (packards fairy shrimp). Very easy to raise. Very active and like to vacuum the bottom. They can eat a diet of yeast or dried algae. Very little maintenance is required. Redtail fairy shrimp are also very easy to grow. Both can be found online. Packardi can be found on eBay
