I managed to get my OW the first time round, I was very careful and very much in awe of the underwater world - a great first time underwater.
But saysing that I was eager to dive with other people and not the forced buddy I had, he swam off each time we started to decend, I was not scared but...
Download, and had a look, but don't really understand if this is a good thing, as I'm not a drysuit diver yet.
Currently starting to think about drysuits and their use.
Does anyone know of any issues legal or otherwise in diving at Lake Eildon. Is it just a matter of taking 8-10 tanks and a buddy and a surface team for safety. Then planning the dive and diving the plan.
At the moment when it's quite low the idea is tempting as it would be cool to explore the...
100 dives!!! I'm only just about to clock the 100th and while I could teach some people some things, I would not want to teach people .. as it's a huge responsability. Maybe when I've clocked 200 or even more.
Some people want to teach .. I just want to dive.
Very important point, the streamlined effect is a great way to reduce effort and consumption of air
Sure is, it's like simple now days...
And two of them, tanks will not drop like they tend to on jacket BC's
Does it ever!!!!!
Firstly well done for noticing your equipment and wondering if there is a better way to do things... to many divers dont reassess their streamlining and equipment configurations and modify to improve their diving pleasure.
Mine clips to the left D-ring on my waist strap, it is clipped using a...
I'm no expert at all .. but I would think it's fine to switch to air as air has a deeper MOD than Nitrox mixes. So there would be no decom issues, it would be mainly a matter of nitrogen loading and how you go about assessing it.
Interesting to hear what others say...
I'm eagerly looking forward to the next time I go diving to try the 1st stage upside down.
I now understand why people like to buy the older Apeks 1st stage....
I have a 27lb wing and have taken it to the Great BArrier Reef and to Indonesia and had no issues with the size of it. It wraps nicely round the back plate and sort of makes for a nice bunddle of equipment.
2cents worth
I found most stores sell the set and it was very expensive to buy one part.
You could always use the extra 2nd stage as a back up incase something happens in the future or you get the chance to purchase a second hand first stage on eBay for using on a stage bottle?
Personally I rented for the first year, if you are doing rec type diving then rental gear is fine.
Buying all together? We bought piece by piece, bought a computer first as my friend went back to Europe and I used his. Then we decided to buy BC and Reg around the same time and no they were...
Love it ... we could travel the seas .. I'm sure we could put in a dive platform that divers could leave and return from so that we could stay underwater for months...
