I had a CO2 hit last februari. It was because my drysuit was flouded and all was ok, till we swam at 65m in an old mine and I had to follow the tunnel upwards. All the water came into my legs and normal swimming was impossible. It became then also very cold. So I tried not to stirr everything...

You already have an IANTD AOWD. So this means you have a 30m cert already. And this is followed by a 40m deep dier specialty normally. I would do just a deep diver cert from any available agency, it doesn't matter if it is padi, ssi, iantd or whatever. Then you also have the same. CMAS 2* is a...

My motivation for mod3 maybe was not the best. I had a full trimix cert oc and did it just to have no limits anymore. The instructor I choose did not tell me, but he had a employee that was guiding technical dives and promised that employee as soon as there was a good full trimix student he...

It is not pure tea trea oil, it is specially made for ears, called 'Audiol Swim': https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/audine-audiol-swim-natuurlijke-oorspray-10ml/9200000065804850/ A good instructor will tell people on a trydive that if the ears start hurting and clearing ears does not work, then they...

Yes, I heard they are working on a Z-400, but there is no date mention that this will come out. I hope then that they improve the switches to turn it on as they are very week on the Z-330. I have 1 where the pilot light doesn't work anymore and it is not the light, only the switch. Also 1 other...

My friend has for 1 ear a hearring aid and also had as a child a lot of problems with his ears. Before I did a trydive with him, he went to a doctor to ask about his ears as he told me he was not able to clear his ears, but he also did not had problems in a plane or so. The doctor did not find...

As I was not born in 1976, I see a lot of differences between 2010 and now. Especially in the DIR edge. From no computers and deco by head the moved into computers. Also gradient factors changed and vpm is now almost not used anymore. Even Suunto now moved into Buhlmann instead of 'fused' RGBM...

I own an Inspiration and a Sidekick. And have for a lot more ccr's a user level cert. Also have, I think a lot of hours on a CCR to know a lot about things that can happen. I use a DSV on both units. I have tried a BOV on the Inspiration, but I found it too bulky and too heavy, even if they say...

I have been in the shop in France. For fills and bought something. And not only 1 time, a couple of times. So there is a real shop behind it. The owner dives himself too, but is most times a dry caver. But if you are worried, there is a real shop behind this webshop.

My pony's for solodiving are ali80's as I don't have others. On Curacao it was a 12liter ali. No small stuff, also because I can do longer dives and turn the 2 cylinders more or less into a twinset. My single tank wing has enough lift capacity to hold this. So if you have the chance to try a an...

Wow, what a prices for something to try out and later try to sell. We have sometimes here try out dives for drysuit. Costs nothing and if you haven't ever dived a drysuit, there is an instructor available. 150 dollar for only 1 dive, that is probably more than 2 dollar per minute as I guess...

If I come I can take most of the gear with me, but no weights and tanks of course. Are the shore dives good? Or better boatdives?

With drills it is quite normall that the sac/rmv is a little bit higher. I talk about sac/rmv as a lot of people talk about sac in liters per minute, but officially this is the rmv.

True, you can also do Ginnie/Devis on oc, but sometimes a ccr makes things easier. And it is very nice to dive the Peackock tunnels in 4 hours on ccr without dragging a lot of bo because you are never far from an exit. But you also must know that a ccr can be a very #$%#$^#$^machine. I...

The answer is quite simple: You can do cave diving with both units, no problem. They are backmounted, so not for very tight restrictions. But both will do the job and both will work more or less the same. The difference is just the brand. So you drive a Mercedes or a Vauxhall. Both will bring...

I think this is because you was nervous for your first trimixdives. I have never mentioned a higher RMV/SAC. A lot of people have a little bit higher consumption when something is new. So it is not strange. Don't worry too much, relax and enjoy your diving.

Cyprus is still on my list, also because of the 'strange' things of the country like the Turkey part. So if I want to visit Cyprus for about 1 week, can you advice me? Shore dives are also ok. But of course the Zenobia must be done. I also read about the marathon in march, and they don't have a...

You can use the EM5, don't worry, I was in the middle and my camera is for sure not bad. I don't see the difference between the results with the em5 or the em1. But the em1 is a little bit faster, I can use some more lenses, has more focuspoints for macro. So it makes it a little bit easier. I...

I have 2 loose leds, so don't need to break. But even then it was hard to stick it into the housing.

I own the Turtle trigger as my EM1 mk2 blows up the original flashes very fast (this has to do with the charging circuit). So I had no choice to go to the turtle trigger. The Nauticam won't fit in an isotta housing they said to me. And then the problems started, first it did not fit, they sent...
