Hi there! Thank you very much for this very helpful review! Indeed I have read about the concerns on dive comp operating with RGBM algorithm, it sounds quite frustrating to have your dive comp locked

I'm deciding on the CREST CR4, hoping to get some good deals tomorrow at MIDE!

Thanks for confirming the RGBM/Fused RGBM algorithm lock. So it's still not yet adjusted.
Sounds like a nightmare, if you plan to venture into tech diving in the future. I may not want an algorithm that will change my deco stop time when in water, even pre-dive planning/gas planning using decompress planning software.

anybody dived in Semporna and had a go pro? did you use anti-fogging inserts?

I got bring insta360 but record only longest video less then 2 minutes
So i didn't put any anti fogging

i dove mabul island before with gopro and yes im using anti fog in my gopro hero4

Thanks all. i brought my GoPro10 and dived without the anti fog. so far no issues throughout the 12 dives.

Anyone from JOHOr heading to salang soon? Left my mask there la

Any dive centres to recommend in semporna?

Looking for new pair of fin. Budget of Rm400, found the below from scubawarehouse

1. Cressi Thor
2. Mares X-Stream

Seem Mares is rather the choice of many diver ive seen. Anyway thoughts on Cressi ?

wow didn know x-stream price is less than 400 now, always thought they are the most expensive fins from Mares.

I'm on my second set of x-treme... Trust me when I say it's the easiest and lightest.. I know some may differ but once you get use to it... You will not go for any else

anyone interested in BALI mola2 dive trip upcoming 27th-31st Aug?

Anybody tried Deep Dive Dubai? Was wondering if it's worth the hype

Finally back in the water again. Videos from my recent trip to Fiji below.

Anyone have any good deals/contacts for dive computer? Looking for either Crest CR4 or Cosmiq+, although leaning more to Cosmiq+. Other suggestions are welcomed

I bought the Crest CR4 for RM950 at MIDE from Scubaholics anonymous. At that time there was another booth selling at RM900 but I missed it. Currently there is a seller selling on Shopee at RM950 with 10% cashback which is pretty worth it imo can just buy online.

have you dived with it? how's your impression of the dive comp? also, have you used other dive comp before this? 900-950 is ok price, and i've seen it a lot on shopee as well. maybe wait 9.9

I'm using CR4, previously using rented/borrowed Puck.

Display - Bright enough underwater for me (adjustable brightness setting), while personally i dislike negative display of cosmiq+

Battery - Claimed it can last 26 dives per charge. Personally I've done 10 dives within single trip while battery bar ended up roughly 50%. Another thing, I fully charged my comp after the trip, shutdown/power off and kept for 5 months until my next trip, battery dropped to 50%.

Log storage - 900+ (frm website) , while for cosmiq "Up to 200 unsynchronized logs (*Pre-COSMIQ⁺ Gen 5 models stores up to 25 dive logs)"

Log extraction - via bluetooth to their own handphone apps, apps support cloud backup, still hav not figure out how to transfer to PC

Algorithm - both based on Bühlmann, personally i did not change the conservative setting and my NDL seems to be shorter than average. Note: Happened to me few times where my NDL left 4min (that's when i receive alert) and i need to inform the DM personally (DM did check his own comp after i inform him, so I assume DM NDL is longer than mine)

Perhaps abit nick pick is charging the dive comp: CR-4 is using clamp type and it is abit hard to access the port IF you use zulu strap (ori version comes with normal rubber strap)

thanks for your personal review....seems to be pretty good considering the price. Now backside itchy, dunno wanna spend a little bit more for a Atmos Mission 1, but still evaluating whether i need it or not!
