New release of the Logfile analyzer tool

Søren Reinke — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 10:46:48 +0000

I have just released a new version of the Poseidon MKVI Log File Analyzer tool.

The tool, is now able to show the diluent mixture og He/O2 if diving with the blue trimix battery, and most likely also the new tech unit’s battery.

Diluent Mixture

The data is only found in the Red Box log file, and will only be displayd if present.

As always you can find the newest version here: Log File Analyzer

Dolphin asks diver for help

Søren Reinke — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:22:21 +0000

On January 11th a diver leading a group of snorkelers on a nightly Manta Ray dive/snorkel trip, was approach by a Dolphin.

The dolphin was entangled in fishing wire and was asking for help to get it removed.

The diver Keller Laros, did of course help the dolphin.

A video of the incident can be seen here:

The dive site was actually the same site, where I did my first Manta Ray night dive on the 3th of January 2013.

Diving with Manta Rays on Big Island, Hawaii

Søren Reinke — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:59:45 +0000

From the 25th of December 2012 until the 10th of January 2013 I was on Holiday on Hawaii.

While staying on Big Island, I had the pleasure of doing a Manta Ray night dive with Jack’s Diving Locker.

Thanks to Greg Mclaughlin the man behind, the excellent iOS Dive Log program, for suggesting that dive company.

I was trying to film the Manta Rays with my brand new HD GoPro 3 Black Edition camera. My diving light was to bright, so some of the video has to much light.

This was my first try to film underwater, and also the first time I ever edited a video

Found this picture on Facebook:

Hanging like that, is like doing a safety stop on Thistlegorm in a ‘moderate’ current
Gladly I have never seen anyone’s pants do like that

p.s. I have no clue what the french text is saying.

Ice Diving

Søren Reinke — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:30:42 +0000

On the 18th of February I finaly did some Ice Diving.

We did meet with some fellow MKVI Rebrather divers at Knivsåsens stenbrott (Dalby stenbrott) in Sweden to do some diving.

This was the first time I did some Ice Diving, and I did love it.

Thanks to Mikkel, Nico, Rene and Anders for a great day.

Here is a few pictures from the dive site, some of the divers is from another group.

If you wonder why they are lying around on the ice, it was while wating for another group to get up.

Here is a few youtube videos filmed by Submis.

p.s. I know my inflator is leaking, have to get it checked.

Poseidon Discovery MKVI Logfile Analyzer

Søren Reinke — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:22:56 +0000

Back in January 2011 a Poseidon Discovery MKVI rebreather diver called Submis posted a thread on the www.Rebreatherworld.com forum:

Poseidon MKVI log files

He had found out, what some of the fields in the Rebreather log files did mean, and used Excel to create a graph.

It caught my interested, being a software developer I immediately started to create a program to make it easier to create and compare these graphs.

I would love to get feedback and ideas for further development of the tool. Either post as comments to this post, or better in the above Rebreatherworld thread.

To download the tool, and follow it’s progress, go here:

Here is a few example of the graphs from a dive I did in Sharm el Sheikh last summer, including a screenshot of the User-interface where I Compare PO2 values with the PO2 setpoint.
