1. It snowed in Michigan this morning! So it looks a lot where you are at.

2. “More cruising fun?” If you have to just pretend to break something so you can DIY.

3. My French is probably not any better than yours but I am pretty sure you didn't get your baguette from a pâtisserie or pastry shop. You got it from a boulangerie or bakery. All you need now is to find a crêperie. Ah, the sweet trifecta! 🙂

4. Mads, when I was 16 back in the 70s, GPS was still a plan of the US government. So we learned how to navigate using a sextant, a book full of star charts, and some trigonometry. It didn’t have sub-meter accuracy and I was pretty happy if I was within a mile or so of my location. Which given the fact that we didn’t have the exactly accurate time reference from GPS either was actually not bad. So like you, if I was crossing the ocean, I’d probably want to know how to use the old school sextant and a paper chart to find my way to my desired location. After all, it’s not hard, just hot as easy as looking at the screen of a computer and knowing where you are to the meter. Instantly.

5. Dominica was always on my to-go place list when I own the boat but sadly never made it.
   As usual enjoyed your video and the attention to detail that you both delight in. It's what makes your channel special. No news on the generator lately?

6. The Nema gear is WAY overpriced for the quality of gear you get. Over $2000. !!!!!
   You can buy a Micro Tank and proper regulator for $400 and not be "tethered" to a hose. Even the USCG topside AirCompressors can be used with a standard regulator and bought for under $1000. I've been cleaning hulls since 1982
   " Sinbads Boat & Dock "
   circa 1982 , Naples Fla.
   Used standard tanks on a surfboard with 20ft air lines. I think I paid $125 for the setup back then

   😊

7. It will be interesting to see how the Diveblu holds up. Thanks for testing, so we don't have too. My first dive was in 1970 at age 10. 30,000 hours later, I still use dive tables. Plan your dive, dive your plan.

8. Really disappointing that PADI does not instruct tables anymore. They should at least provide an introduction to them. This is no different the GPS vs manual navigation discussion. I always trust maps and charts, if for no other reason just to confirm.

9. great toy for cleaning and shallow water diving…..great luck to get a sponsored unit, your friends on Cadoha have one to forage for crabs and lobsters

10. Batteries do not run out on paper, stick to the paper dive charts.

11. With age,comes wisdom !

12. Quick tip. What I find great for cleaning the hull when sitting in a dingy that won’t stay put is a suction cup with handle, you can pick up a cheap one at an automotive supply store, they sell it as a dent puller. When in the dingy you can tie off to it or just hold on and reposition as you move around the hull.

13. If you go for patisserie , you are going for the boulangerie 😉

14. Love Ava’s shirt! Always enjoy watching you two. 😎❤️😎❤️😎

15. 👍🏽

16. I still teach the RDP to explain decompression theory, but would never expect a student to actually use one instead of a computer. However when switching to tech and especially trimix diving, we would rely on PC generated tables (such as decoplanner) more than the dive computer.

17. I love Dominica I think its my favorite of all the islands. However, its been some time since I visited. So has the law there about SCUBA tanks changed? I guess they were OK with your Nomad

18. 😃😃😃👍👍

19. Best soap in the US hands down is orpine wash and wax. Just incase you can’t get that product overseas.

20. We build a same system, not reliant on batteries. Harbor freight oil less compressor, medical air hose. Standard regulators etc. Cost AUD300 been using it for 5 years to scrub 52 f ketch. We never buy commercial products.

21. ANOTHER PAID PRESENTATION 🤢🤮🤢🤮

22. Ahh, my Sail Life fix, now I am happy

23. Great video, as always! I also get a kick out of Eva's use of the word, "laundry mat"!!!!! (laundromat) 🙂 🙂

24. The USN tables were modified some time ago and IIRC the new PADI tables also changed toward safer numbers. At a major dive conference I had the pleasure to listen to a USN Chief Diving Medical Officer, and when he asked for questions I said I was taught to use the USN Cold Water Tables when I needed my usual 1/4" farmer johns and all. But literally EVERY shop and divemaster said no. And that included a lot of the audience.
    Well, the official USN response was that if you needed more than a bathing suit, you needed to use the cold water tables (only found in the USN manual) or go UP one time depth group from the normal paper tables.
    So I wear the computer to keep the staff happy, and my more conservative numbers from the tables. And nitrox, when available. I'd rather wear a belt and suspenders than spend night in the chamber, wondering if I'd ever walk again.

25. Regarding energy – It would be interesting to get an update on how you're doing with the electronics. How much does cooking bite into the batteries, and how long does it take for solar to fill it up again (sorry if it's already been covered).
    In any case it's a good excuse to check out that latest GUI update from Victron! (If you haven't updated already Mads, you are a bad IT nerd!)

26. Diveblu3 looks good, didn't catch the cost though. No running water for cleaning the topsides? Dried on salt is so abrasive. Great video!

27. Love the new start up video 👍👍

28. Jejejejeje!
    You are the best!!!
