So a large amount of pretty unique gear has been stolen from a store at Capernwray recently.

It includes:

Halcyon/Suex...

Well, to be fair, privacy of medical information and implied HIV status is pretty fundamental to their work as an HIV support charity.

I'd expect a £10,000 fine if I filled a dive tank with...

The Climbers Club have just ignored it. They post out a book annually with 1700 members details in it. Which, considering they work on the basis that approval for membership is based you being...

I'm part of a small-ish mountaineering club. We have a plain English policy. I sincerely hope the ICO have bigger fish to fry than us.

CONS : There will be some losses in the VO itself and it's on the customer side of the meter so you're paying for them

PRO : If you are having a problem with the invertor cutting-out due to high...

Jamboree

Tidy solution would be to use a NAS. You could also use it for other stuff and don't need to worry about file system type, just create a shared folder with the correct credentials. Point time machine...

Holdpeak HP-570S-APP - That is a standard multi-meter, but with a clamp that can measure current in a conductor. Can't do Earth loop tests


An earth loop impedance test is more involved and needs...

I'd suggest not buying a proper earth loop megger unless you know how to properly use it and interpret the results. Part of the loop may not be in your property / be on the network side. There may be...

If you need the depth at a 'shore' site, Wastwater is 70m. Or Lochaline Wall, which is 100m+ in the sea and diveable in all but the worst conditions. No fetch so the swell dies away in a couple of...

The HSE medical requires a VO2 max (from a step test) of 45

I wouldn't trust a Garmin VO2 max. This time last year, I'd just recovered from covid and started doing couch-to-5k. Useless, unfit,...

Yes, I realise this. However, my point was that people are complaining about the difference between ppo2 of 1.4 and 1.44 at around 30m. A change in ppo2 that occurs over 1.1m (on 36%).

I think...

Problem is, not all computers and gauges operate on the same principle. Some display the depth in salt water, some in fresh, some are adjustable (shearwater). This is generally just the displayed...

I don't have the disposable income to buy a new one. No one would buy a new gavin so it's only fair to compare with a 2nd hand suex. I bought my 14 for 2k with two batteries, a 4 blade removable prop...

I'd make the argument for just using 32% for all 'normal' diving (e.g. single cylinder in the sea upto 35m), with the possible exception of 6m training stuff. Everything would be safer if they just...

Buy a second hand SUEX.

Does anyone know of a problem with a SUEX that wasn't just an old/worn-out battery? I know a lot of people with them and I've never heard of a fault.

I have, however,...

That was always the case from when it was introduced at Sports diver. 36% to 30m, 32% to 35m. 1.44. Dive durations are really short. (They were planned on air tables, but aggressive 1st dive 88...

Crown Plaza is on one of the garden reefs. 5 Egyptian stars = 2.5 stars, no in room a/c

There’s a section of the M1 between J26 and Trowell services - labelled on drawings as “Strelley Bumps”. It’s in a constant state of sinking due to coal mining. I worked on a rolling crown...

Sds drill required.

Or stick a length of 4x1 timber on the wall with stixall or maximum torque adhesive. Paint it the same colour as the wall or your woodwork and it won’t look out of place. Let...

Before it all kicked off, I actually did an IFC with an old-school BSAC beard & sandals guy who just dived 1 reg and an auto-air thing on his BC. He had to stop and re-configure himself before we did...

There is no issue whatsoever teaching new divers primary donate. It’s exceptionally effective and a good tool for teaching proper buddy diving. You actually need to concentrate and take some action...

I assume it’s a rigid tank with a pressurised bladder inside. They pump water in and out of the space between the bladder and the tank. Constant volume, variable weight.

Solving a problem that...

I did the IFC, OWIC & PIE like this and passed. I made no modifications to my GUE/DIR single tank kit at all, just bent the primary hose into a U shape and stuck it in the right shoulder D-ring as an...

For your use case, just get dropbox. I think the free version is 2gb, but the entry level paid version is 2,000gb. Other options available too.

For a proper NAS, look at Synology. The 'j' series,...
