We are right on target for the projected pump plan, and within normal ranges for this time of year.

Brandon, many reasons to wear the computer on the left. First the rebreather (ccr) manufacturers usually put the controller computer for the unit on the left. Your dive light is mounted on your left hand so you can also see the computer with the arm already extended to the front of you utilizing light. Power inflator on the left. As you are venting the wing or drysuit the computer is right next your face, great opportunity to view the information on the computer, most people are right handed and wear a watch on their left. Standard muscle memory, most people are again right handed so anything they pick up, point to, grab on maneuver all done with the right hand. Keeps left hand free to use, power inflator, illumination with light, and rotate to dump wing and drysuit gas. Now let’s get into the technical side of diving. 1 all tech divers should be diving with a minimum of 2 computers. So one worn on each wrist. I personally dive with 3-4 (ccr controller, 2 back up independent computers, and if diving with open circuit buddies a 4th set to OC with the gasses they are breathing so in the event of an emergency. I have a good idea of their dive profile and can assist them to the surface based on their profile) so NERD on my ccr, one computer on each wrist, and one clipped off in my pocket. The right side of the diver is designed for emergency gear. Right pockets etc. having that side clear with nothing I the way to access emergency gear quickly and efficiently. This also keeps my left hand with my primary computer free and in my line of sight, regardless of what my right hand is doing. Assisting an injured or unconscious diver to the surface you are venting their wing of gas on the assent, my left hand is holding their power inflator on in my left hand, up To vent it. Also right in my line of sight to keep a safe controlled slow ascent. So to answer your question. Yes it’s a personal preference which side you wear the computer on. However the correct way you should have been taught day 1 is primary computer and primary light on left side.

Fantastic! Keep us updated!

Thank you for the kind words and contact. I will add them to the list of fins to test. Currently I have 10 Sets of fins I need to use. Adding another pair at my own cost is not feasible at the moment.

@@cyborgpirate5882 no problem man, actually I’m not in a hurry! I still have time before buying a pair of tech fins, thank you for your job!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you buddy! Yes we love these and are proud to carry them with our shop.

@@ivoryjohnson4662 fantastic!!! Good luck and keep me posted. Love to hear about your success!

@@desertbreezekayakingllc ugh I know right?

No no no, we are not either!

Peoria Arizona. Maricopa county. Phoenix metropolitan area.

Wow! That’s a long time. Good work! I’d recommend a remora or nemo drill with brush and Velcro head for 60g and 120g pads would expedite the process, and an Airline R360 for surface supplied would remove any need for dive gear. ☺️🙌🏻 Hull cleaning is a whole other line of business. Could be good for you man. 😁🤙🏻

@@pinnacledivingco sweet! I will look into those. Thank you.

I didn’t print mine. I paid for them. You can find them or similar files on Thingiverse

Noted!

@cyborgpirate5882 with all the side by side comparisons that you've done, it would be nifty to have you compare them all against each other. You are a well of knowledge. you just need to bring some buckets up to share with the community 😉

We keep diving fun and safe always

Very true!

Judi we are stoked to have you both out with us on the trip! We will be putting together a meeting in the near future to get everyone prepped and set for the trip.

Had an amazing Fathers Day, and weekend. How about you guys?

You guys have a great weekend as well! Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!

He is a cute little guy. Not bad for a dog I found in a dumpster 1-2 days old.

I have dived a couple in the 3mm. However it wasn’t during the comparison so I didn’t gather data.

Thumbs down on the cancellation. We need to have a board meeting with Mother Nature about the winds this year…

So far it’s looking good!!!!👍🏻

I know…. Geez it’s getting old

Many thanks! When are you coming back out with us?

I’m going to try to get back over there in July. I had an amazing time with you guys last time. Great experience! I’ll def will let you know. Be safe brother.

@@DiveSquadusa fantastic!!!! Looking forward to it!

No we are out mid lake boat diving. Not near the shores. No rattlesnakes out that far.

We are too!

Exactly!

Thank you. lol working by braille

We are excited about it too! We will see you Sunday!

The RK3 was not designed for diving. However the RK3 HD was. It was designed for diving because of the popularity of the RK3 amongst scuba divers.

​@@cyborgpirate5882 Not at all. Both the standard RK3's and the RK3 HD's are exactly the same fin. The only difference between the two is the "density" of the rubber compound used. The standard version is "less dense", and as such, more pliable and they float, while the HD is the "high density" version, making them stiffer and negatively buoyant. I remember explaining this in a previous comment in another video on your channel, but the RK3 is just a short term for "3rd generation Rocket". They are the 3rd generation of the classic "Rocket Fin" originally made by US Divers (a branch of Aqualung) for US Navy Aviation and Surface Rescue Swimmers, and the intent of the design -- with the middle two rails for support and the extra stiff fin blade -- was specifically for fast swimming speeds on the surface of the water. That's exactly why the Rocket, Rocket 2's (aka the "Super Rocket's"), and the RK3's have those central rails, and why the fin tips are pointed. During the same era when US Divers made the Rocket fins for the US Navy, ScubaPro made the "Jet Fins" for the US Navy, with their "smooth" fin blade that was longer, wider, and more flexible. The Jet Fins were specifically made for diving purposes, and over the years, countless companies have piggy-backed off of the Jet Fin design to market their own take on it, of course, always with the claim of being better in some way. To THIS DAY Jet Fins are STILL issued in dive school and Rocket 2's are STILL issued to SAR swimmers (I have had both issued to me myself). The reason why the RK3's even came into existence was when US and UK special operations commands issued an open bid for a new fin design. Apeks, at the time, made the RK3's to enter their bid with, and they were popular enough with dive teams to win the bid. THEN Aqualung bought out Apeks and rebranded it as their "premium" brand, and the RK3's were introduced to the civilian markets. They became popular for diving for no other reason than because of the design features they have which are superior to the Jet "style" fins out there... Primarily, the WIDE foot pocket, pre-drilled draining holes, spring straps, and a foot pocket design that brings the bottom of the pocket nearly to the heel of the diver's boot, allowing greater control of the fin (whereas traditional Jet's foot pocket typically only goes to the middle of the foot, which isn't ideal). For "diving" purposes, a more flexible fin blade has always been thought of as better, and for surface swimming, a stiffer blade creates speed, and is preferable. However, many divers like the stiffness for control and when diving "heavy" (with lots of equipment), and as such, choose the HD version just for this reason. Regardless if they are used for diving (I use the RK3 HD's myself and have for years and I love them), the "design" is STILL based entirely on the surface swimming fin design. That is its intent.

You bet! I sure hope so too! Gonna be awesome!

Large front pocket and expedition bellows on both sides

What type fins are you using? How much air are you getting in legs and feet?

@@cyborgpirate5882 I'm using mares superchannel, so you think I get too much air in the feet?

You bet! www.seattlefabrics.com/Standard-Single-Bar-Slide_p_365.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoKeuBhCoARIsAB4WxtdNrSF4n5TeO4q5LRiS65tHdN0qCkK4J9t9dEBubZ4_nzU2Y1gqtNcaAu5MEALw_wcB

Not sure what you are referring to. This was a solo dive. I was the only one there.

@@cyborgpirate5882 Not sure I just saw something on the ground near the end

@@squash3763 no one else down there but me.

April 28th 9-11am

@@cyborgpirate5882 Awesome! Thank you.

Are we going to get the opportunity to see you?

Sometimes we use skill, sometimes we are lucky. So far we are 96% winning and utilizing skill and luck.

Always a happy day when we come back up with a win.

Yes, there is a lot of stuff blown off from the docks in the big storms. We are assisting with cleaning up under the marina. It takes time and skill. But we are cleaning it all out.

We would love to have you! I think Norway is beautiful. Spent 6 months stationed near Stavanger

We are keeping an eye on it. Friday and sat had some pretty high wind forecasts. However they are moving in the right direction! Based on the clear skies and warmer temps forecasted for the weekend. I don’t think the winds are gonna be a factor:)

Fingers crossed

Absolutely! So happy we are having a calm weekend finally! Happy-paddling!
