New York has attached these pictures to the Fire Island Reef. I believe that is an error.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is ny09_shinnecock_ss.jpg
Note the large rectangular structure at lower-left. This is the drydock, with a raised spine down the center which is visible in the pictures. The walls have fallen.

Gauges & Computers

2016 Update

Computers and electronics change so fast it is hard to keep up with it. The general recommendations below should hold up pretty well even as the technology races forward.

The dive computer should be considered standard equipment. Diving with a computer will give you more bottom time and more safety margin than crude estimating with dive tables. If you are buying your first set of gear, get a computer rather than analog gauges, and you will not regret it. There is a great deal of variation in the design and operation of dive computers. Among the choices you can make are:

dive computers
  • air-integrated or not
  • conservative vs. liberal algorithms
  • violation lock-out mode
  • Nitrox-ready or not
  • wrist, console or hose mounted
  • dive logging & PC interface
  • backlighting for night diving
  • auto-on vs. manual-on
