hmm still i would of thought you would of got more than that.

woot scuba diving is awesome I love it the other group of five pulled out so there is just 3 of us the other two are cool people and we ended up having extra time left over to work on anything we wanted. I am trying to master hovering but damm its hard.

yeah i started playing with weights and found 5 weihts were fine two either side of my hips and one in the small of my back. I was working on trying to control my breathing so i sit in different areas in the colum of water.

i'm learning with pro dive we have been doing all the pool work at bulimba and next weekend we go to straddie and do 2 shore dives and 2 boat dive. I have always wanted to do it but have kept putting it off. I am enjoying it so much I will be buying my own fins, boots, snokel and mask.

me and my dad go diving out of our boat a fair bit, prehaps you can come along once your qualified? :mad:

We have our own gear (masks, tanks, vests, fins, etc).

If I was you id go for a lighter weight with less air in your vest. For a start, you wont waste as much air inflating it, you will be more mobile as well as a large amount of weights can be quite uncomfortable. Also, inflating the vest reduces your ability to move around.

Also, how thick is your wetsuit? A thicker wetsuit will cause added bouncy. Personally, I wear a 7mm set of johns and a 5mm top, which adds quite alot of floatation to my setup, meaning I dont have to use a whole lot of air at all to maintain even bouancy (I cant spell that word :wave:)

ahh i was only in a pool so buoyancy is going to be tricky at best, I didn't have the BCD inflated much. I was wearing a 5m wetsuit but wasn't a springer suit. I have passed all the theory and we have done most of the prac next weekend is our first dives in the ocean and as the instructer said it will take us a little bit at the start to setup out equipment but he is very surprised at how quick we have all picked up the skills (esp removing the bcd underwater and putting it back on).

How good are the mares fins as these are a set i am looking at or the aqualung fins?

cool. i used to go snorkelling off mooloolaba in the bay, when i was younger. but i dunno juststopped going, but scuba is alot better if u wanna go deep reef diving.

troy, once u are qualified u have to come up and dive the hmas brisbane off mooloolaba, that would be a good dive, lots of marine life down there since its been sunk. they showed pictures of it on the news a while back 1 year after it was sunk, fish have made it there habitat very quickly same with the coral etc

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
