Then you do the course with a bad instructor for you. A good instructor knows how to teach you with other stuff they don't have and maybe let you use their stuff to feel difference. What you describe here is a thing you see a lot in sidemount diving and also in rebreather diving: what is the...

I own an Inspiration and I am Inspiration instructor as well. I also own a sidekick and have for 9 different ccr brands a user level. I have dived my Inspiration up to 135m depth, done dives of 6 hours, so it works for me. I prefer on some narrow caves the sidekick, but the WOB is bad if you...

ccr training is unit specific, so if you do for example the mod1 on an Inspiration, and you move on to normoxic plus trimix, you have to do that course on an Inspiration. If you buy a Triton, then you have to do a crossover and show the skills for the normoxic course again. It is not a complete...

If that is equivalent to an adv. nitrox, then only a normoxic trimix plus to 75m is needed. If you don't want to use the helium often, then oc is the best way to go. Cheapest, easiest, fastest. If he wants to go to ccr, then it starts with the costs of a ccr, second hand around 4000 euro, new...

That is the same as iantd has, called normoxic plus (and since a week the depth is 75m). The normoxic plus was 70m. But with TDI you have advanced nitrox and decoprocedures, sold as 2 courses, most times in conjunction of each other, but you get 2 cards. This means 3 courses. I don't know if...

Do you reed urgency? I don't. This diver already has a cmas 3* cert, this means 60m on air. He now wants to do it a little bit more according to modern standards. But I don't read rushing. I did all my techcourses in 6 months (or 6.5), this was from advanced rec. trimix to full cave to full...

It will be an advanced nitrox and then normoxic trimix plus course with iantd. So 2 courses, no more are needed. And there is no need to wait between the courses according to standards. So you can finish 1 and start the next one directly. If you want the easiest and cheapest way, don't do...

Tell the last alinea to ccr manufactorers, haha. They don't understand what you write. ;)

I will see moalboal in november. Oslob, Simulon Island (both 1 dive), Pescador Island, sardine run and mating mandarin fish I have booked. The turtles are there on the beach is told to me, so I will try to find a way to get a tank for a snorkeldive on my own.

I think Wibble tries to get an answer of an THINKING diver, not from someone who just follow what is told how to do it. We all want to become thinking divers I believe and not the one who states: 'When diving to 30.2 m depth you will die if you don't use 21/35. And air is a bad gas to use. In...

Is this different from others? At least with other agencies you don't need to renew a card by paying every 2 year. But a non profit organization in my country means the organization is not allowed to make profit. But they can have employees like a founder who gets a very very high salary as CEO...

I read here a lot of things that are also dependent on the intelligence of a person. And the natural talents a diver has. Theory, for some divers very difficult, already in open water. Pressure? Gases getting less volume on depth? Gases in your body causing dcs? Quite a lot of divers will pass...

I am one of the best DIR divers in the world. I promote 'Doing it Relaxed. :D Every diver, like in every sport or whatever is human. And humans like it in most cases to belong to a group. And this means people start stating themselves as different or better than others. Padi is for everybody...

Are the ingredients of 'sea drops' that different from shampoo? Sea Clearly Reef Friendly Mask Defog | Stream2Sea ( know, no sea drops as I cannot find ingredients) Ingredients Our eco-friendly mask defog is made with only the safest ingredients, including Deionized Water, Aloe Barbadensis...

Muck diving or small critters means the same: no colorfull coralreefs, but a bottom full of sand on a place where you normally won't dive, only biologists and photographers will come there. In my opinion it is just something commercial. But if you are not photographer and no biologist, muck...

I know they went a bit into DIR, but this means a lot of divers cannot use this center anymore.

I have made a reservation with a divecenter and said: we want to do these and these dives. And they agreed. I expect then that they do what we have asked for and not say yes and do no.

In 2020, there was no problem renting tanks as a solodiver from Buddy dive.

Here another diver that does not like muckdiving. Or only for 1-2 dives. We go to Moalboal and Malapascua. I haven't been there, so cannot tell how it really was. We have booked from Moalboal Pescador Island, Oslob (yes, Whalesharks :D) and Simulon Island. In Malapascua of course the sites...

Maybe you are allowed to do something like advanced nitrox or tec40 with a single tank and a stage, but then it is for sure no tech and I don't teach it that way. I explain people why this will not work. Single tank and a stage is in my eyes 'Bonaire tech', it works when you want to dive longer...
