The resources that we have are in a totally different league from most of the world. It's a great product - so far no problems at all. Flooding is the same with both units, if I'm not mistaken. Open the dive cap by releasing the latch. Would I remember to close the cap? There was a fairly strong current across the reef, and it took some focus on navigation to stay near the boat.
The Nautilus not only saved our bacon, but saved our trip. I'm a little surprised a decent whistle isn't on the list. This information will only be used to determine the nature of the software issue s to fix or repair software bugs. I had alerted Marine Rescue earlier, first of all with a heads-up when the divers were down and the weather was going bad and then again when the search started. But I never used it for a call of any sorts maybe I should try. I guess that is to say, we weren't as remote as I thought we were going to be. They know bad things will never happen to them so have no inclination to spend on emergency safety gear.
I knew that if that LifeLine had not been with me, I would have been dealing with stress that could have turned to panic, if not for me for someone in my group. Do you have a LifeLine testimonial or story to share? Speaker performance may be temporarily affected. Thanks for making such a great product. There are some limitations to only having the old Nautilus Lifeline Radio with you when you are lost at sea such as; - low battery when you want to use it, - flooding it when cap unlatched underwater, - out of radio signal range to any marine radios - no boat around to listen to your distress signal, - etc. The reason I went with the Nautilus Lifeline was that the liveaboard I signed up for in Komodo said that they did have a marine radio that monitors channel 16 and do ship-to-ship on 15 or 17. To expand upon the situation where I needed the Lifeline. If you consider the price it's very cheap compared to five radios a year that break up on landing big jumps.
All 4 failures are what I have read from users. It gets pretty cold and lonely off the wild coast of Maryland in the winter time and we really try to create a buddy system for safety reasons. This photo is our rescue by a Zodiac from a live aboard that was in the area. Nautilus didn't really make it clear just how important that battery threshold could be, and the unit itself really doesn't make it clear what state the battery is in unless you've got the display on and visible or how to do something like override the threshold when it kicks in. If we're diving well offshore, with nothing but open ocean around us--that is, not in the middle of a bunch of islands--then I'll deem the risk and severity of the possible outcome to tip the decision over the threshold. He is the author of The Northwest Dive Guide, The North American Dive Guide, To Kill a Diver : a murder mystery, and Whoops Divers Guide: a scuba cartoon book. On day two our regular boat op was not doing a night dive and we wanted one, so we scheduled with a different smaller op.
And I always had it off over nght. Stay extra safe on the water with a Nautilus LifeLine now available at Pura Vida Divers. I guess that is to say, we weren't as remote as I thought we were going to be. I have no idea what etcetera means in this forum. There was about fourteen folks on the boat in addition to my group of four. After 2 hours one boat picked me up.
I see from my chartplotter the other two miscreants have pulled the anchor so I lay out a sea-anchor to stop a drift to New Zealand while these guys do their hour long deco. If you're diving at a resort in Indonesia and you get bent, guess what? What to do to correct the problem? The Green Chat Button is pre-set to channel 68. Chat feature won't do you any good if the dive boat isn't monitoring the chat channel you have set. The Nautilus Lifeline is intended to aid in your safety. My only concern with this part is usually on the tenders, there's a bunch of commotion going on for getting ready to dive. What is the Nautilus Lifeline? If this application crashes your mobile phone may send diagnostic information including your device type and software version to the Google Play store.
Prior to the trip, I set the Chat channel to 15. I always did switch it on prior to a dive and stood out in the sun or moon , waiting a bit, making sure it got the location before putting it back in the holder. I think the distress signal goes quite a bit further. It seemed everyone had cell reception during most of the trip. Well, that's not always possible and if you are yearning for hitting the water, some of us crazies will go it alone regardless. Of curious panics,Of hard-fought engagements or sieges tremendous -what deepest remains? Check out all 800 dive related videos on Youtube under Mike Hughes Scuba. Recently four of us went out on a less than perfect day to dive a wreck about half a mile offshore in 51 metres.
The Dive Equipment and Manufacturing Association is open to anyone Divemaster certified or above, dive retailers, dive resorts, and manufacturers that may have products that the diving public may enjoy using before , during, or after dives. Seems like a non-starter, unless someone's intentionally trying to get rid of you. Went out last week to Nassau with a small group and the weather was borderline at best. At the last minute before shop closed I bought it at Divers Direct. But it's been 2 years.
