I've got a better idea... why don't you share your info so we can all benefit from it. This is a forum after all...

Hi all,

to witness the D3's potential, go to the FSA website at www.fsa.org.za and look at the dive profiles logged by the a D3 at the SA champs.

Bill,

on the first page, follow the results button of the 2002 Champs.
You will find all 34 dive profiles and static results there.

Thanks. It just took a little persistence. The page comes up a little funny on my system. I tried twice last night and then got it first try this morning.

Good numbers. Ver-r-ry interesting. The deepest dive has the shallowest profile. Thanks for sharing. I'm interested in any comments, especially on descent/ascent rate, from anyone.

Aloha
Bill

Can somebody post a direct link, that site's use of Java for its menus makes it impossible for me to navigate it.

Bill,

i personally use a Stinger and at the champs i had both the Stinger and the D3 on all of my dives.

What was very interesting was to see the diffirence in depth between the two computers seeing that i was sntaching the tag with the D3 arm and grabbing the shotline with the Stinger arm.

Also have a look at the two profiles, one from the D3 and the same dive from the Stinger

This one was to 40m with the D3

What i forgot to share was on how fantastic it is with the 1 second sampling rate of the D3.I the slightest thing happens down there, you will be able to see it in your dive profile.

On the second day i also went to 40m but on my way down some of the support divers were to close to the rope and i got slighty surprised by two huge bubbles on their way up next to the rope, note the slight change at 20m, also on my way up i saw the first support freediver and judge waiting for me at 10m, you can clearly see on the graph at 14m i actually for a split second lost my rythm.

Small things like these can make a huge diffirence in one's performance.

If any of you have trouble with the Java applets, upgrade your browser to the latest version but in the meantime got to

www.fsa.org.za/2002Nationals.htm for the profiles.
