I blend my own mixed gases. Both inside my CCR and with my Haskell pump. Courses are not the only way to learn. Neither are they the best way for everyone. Myself? I learn best from independent research and bouncing ideas and thoughts off more experienced divers. Sent from my iPhone...

I do a type of diving that if I mention, they'll delete my post. I dive to nigh on 300', on a scooter, exploring, on a side mount CCR wearing a drysuit. I have a PADI OW, AOW and rescue. That's it. It's just been a gradual progression Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't worry Fred, they can admonish us for our actions, but we'll enjoy our diving days rather than moaning on the Internet about the people who ruined them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---------- Post added December 22nd, 2015 at 09:06 PM ---------- I may have replaced a word or...

Sometimes words are all that are required. I had my rebreather resting next to the Cabouy entrance pool under positive pressure when someone walked up to it and kicked it out their way. I sternly said "Oi you fornicating gentlemens implement. You better vacate the area sharpish before I...

When someone has just moved your primary line belay for the cave without saying anything to you, it's hardly rude to push them into the sump pool wearing their under suit... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm openly hostile to people I don't like, without attempting to intimidate or overbear. Just leave me alone, or be nice. Everything will be fine. Step into my space being a d1ck and I'll make sure I let you know about it. Works very well for me at cave sites where some divers can be...

Oooh. Different situation in the UK. But fair play. Buy the petrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Xdeep is cheaper. Shearwaters better Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What works in exploration works in tourist diving. Go slowly, baby steps, know your stuff, don't blindly follow anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In the following post, proper measurements are used. Guesses have been taken at silly measurements, they're probably wrong. So I do a fair amount of cave exploration. Dry and wet, and the wet normally comes after the dry. I discovered a 3rd sump into the system. The first and second sumps...

Erm...dives are being done regularly that you can only safely do in side mount. I've done 4 since Friday. I do whole sumps less than 12inches high. Some of these, I do with a figure very prominent within GUE. Now, why don't GUE teach you to do deco dives longer than an hour bottom time...

Good post mate. I haven't seen your posts. But in some cases, people say ask your instructor as different instructors sometimes have different ways to do things. If you don't do something their way, they'll fail you. This might not be the case though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then you have to plan for padlock breaking too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wrote something earlier, but I'll pipe up again. When I was new to cold water diving mask off was a nightmare. Now I can just whip it off and swim around quite happily. It gets easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am saying Paul appears to have acted in a completely immoral way, reducing revenue for a diving instructor to increase the revenue of a large business (comparatively speaking) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you *think* you know what's really happening here, why don't you go ahead and defend their reputations. Looks like you're trying to do that but failing miserably. People with nothing to hide who are having their reputations trashed generally tell the truth. Sent from my iPhone using...

Really bad photoshop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Trust people providing you with products and with money to gain/lose. They always tell the truth and act in your best interest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why is that all we need to know? Why can't we know the details? What's wrong with transparent business practices? If I was running a corner shop and sending your money to ISIS, you'd want to know. If a person is making units whilst running immoral business practices, I want to know. Cos...

You'll be ok. It's work it. Irish divings really good, as is the UKs. As someone said above, learn here and most places will be easy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
