wow v6 liao

Elastomer refers to the material of the watch strap.

If you are doing Tec or wanting to do it in the near future, D6i is worth considering. It allows user to switch gases during dive and has a digital compass. The compass has a bit of a learning curve though. Most Tec divers will prefer larger dive comps like shearwater and use D6i as a backup.

Else just opt for the D4i. If stock still avail, the older version cost around RM1.1 while NOVO is now selling around 2k. MIDE was at RM1790. IMHO, getting the old ver is more sensible. NOVO has a better strap that can be purchased and fit onto the older version at RM230.

A clip on suunto compass will be at around RM60. You may actually go to an outdoor equipment shop to find a compass that can be attached to the watch strap as well. Just make sure it's a liquid filled compass and not the hollow type. If you are lucky, u may find it a those RM2-5 ringgit shop too.

So elastomer is better quality than the ordinary one?

Same price as per current offer... I got a new offer of RM1550 for D6i whether Elastomer or non-Elastomer same price with USB. And RM1080 for D4i Novo.

With condition trade in an old/spoil dive comp.

Itchy hand... I actually have puck pro and compass d... just thinking heading off to idc... thinking of getting something good...

Some BCD inflator hoses are made from elastomer. D4i NOVO strap is elastomer too. The older version of suunto dive watches are made of rubber and they break in just 2-3 years. Easier if they do not come in contact with water for a long duration.

When the NOVO came around, they changed the strap from rubber to elastomer which is said to have a higher tolerance of breakage. My Old D4i rubber strap failed me after 3 years of usage during my recent dive at sipadan and I replaced it with the new NOVO elastomer strap. It looks sturdier and feels slicker in comparison to the old rubber strap.

If you are planning to use it during IDC and for teaching purposes, i would suggest you get D4i NOVO. Better use dive gears that are similar/closer specification to rental gears so u can relate it to your teaching and demonstration during courses.

V6!

Guys, how much does the fin affect the ability to do a reverse frog kick? Some say any paddle fin can do..Tried it on rental fins and i'm just rocking back and forth. LOL

I don't have the monopod (as in the selfie stick right?) but I plan to get one too. I doubt it's as stable as a 2-handed tray, but you get more perspectives... and that's a winner in my book

A lot! Get your own pair of fins and keep trying in the swimming pool.

When I was self-learning the kicks I just did it when I go for a swim. No need for any scuba gear, just put on the fins, grab the pool ladder and kick away.

pls get the GoPole Evo

wKkaY, your video is using goPro? very nice shot.. i think i need to aim for it in the next Mide

v6.0... congrat

why next year when you can do it now??
wait... i should stop encouraging people to spend money...

your video is really nice! I have recently went perhentian and took some video with GoPro as well, but the result is no where near yours. can you help to share some tips & advise to a newbie me please? do you use any filter? editing? or other equipment? or any other information for an entry person like me to take note when I do video under water?
thankiu very much

last i checked it was Rex who influenced. Not you, you are not that important.

Yeah man, I am getting the selfie stick cause I don't have money for the tray. I haven't even got the GoPro yet. hehe!

Yeah I use a red filter, to me it's the second most important thing for getting vibrant punchy colors with the GP... the most important being shallow water.

My settings are 2.7K / 30fps / wide or medium FOV / Protune / Cam Raw WB.

I'm still trying different editors, but so far I like GoPro Studio the most because it is simple.

Before red filter:


After red filter:


After adjusting color and sharpness to taste:

Burnnn

NICE! I can't wait to get my unit! Is the macro lense that I saw you using during the pool dive necessary?

Can post pic of tripod setup?

HOW COULD YOU!!!
Fine!!
