Recient,y completed SDI dive master, thinking about TDI dive master and have two questions. What are the annual fees? Will I have to pay fee for both SDI and TDI or does one fee cover both? Second says that a TDI DM candidate has to repass the highest tech rating. I did extended range by...

Wit H my luck i will die in bed at 99. Shot by a jealous husband.

67 years old. Retired in Moalboal Cebu, Philippines. Dove more than 170 times in 2022, on track to do same this year. Also took up tech diving recently. Have TDI ExRange and SDI DM completed in last year. Did tech dive just this AM as I am learning to sidemount having only used twinset so...

I took up technical diving at 67. My goal is to be the first 100 year old guy to dive to 100 m.

No not an instructor with another agency. I am living in Moalboal and with limited travel I dove the same sites too many times. I decided to take tech courses and have TDI extended range, would have done Trimix but no local instructor and now thinking of CCR route instead. I helped my...

I have read stats that say about 80% of the people who get their OW end up only diving a few times a year, for about 8 years and leave diving before 100 dives. Most of the hard core posters here dive 100 times a year or more, then there are the instructors and DMs.

I have not taken the instructor course. Finding out this information is part of my due diligence before committing to something like this. All part 3 says on this is fill in a form or take the course. No details on course requirements or what is considered acceptable prior experence, which is...

A SDI instructor needs to have speciality instructor courses to teach each and every speciality but I cannot find any informationabout the courses. Are they online or just how does one go about becoming certified to teach specialities?

That is my setup as well. I dive with dual perdix, only one AI, and have them set for different information the AI one displays all the air info, the non AI displays depth and deco information. When I go SM, I will have my gas info from each tank on my wrist with mechanical SPG on each tank as...

I am in Moalboal, all roads open and cleared, just a little debris along the edge in places. Travel around the place is not an issue.

I am in Moalboal and was here during the storm. Lots of damage, houses destroyed power was off several weeks, we were dark 29 days, other places locally still not restored. Most of the dive boats were destroyed. Only one belonging to Cebu Dive Center is whole but for other reasons is in dry...

I bought some used equipment form a woman about that size, her travel setup was a soft backplate with a small wing. She said it worked well for her, I will adjust the harness on that to fit me for a light weight travel setup. BPW is the way to go for everyone, you have infinite adjustment to...

That would work too.

If it catches on a snag I want it to come off rather than pull my neck towards whatever it is caught on. Bascially I want everything fastened in such a way that it does not come off in regular use but can be pulled apart or cut apart in an emergency.

I recently completed TDI AN and DP courses. I came to Moalboal Philippines just before the pandemic and decided to just stay here until it is over. I had been rec diving a few times a week but after a while wanted something a little different. I signed on for the two TDI courses Prior highest...

I came to Moalboal in early March 2020 for a planned 6 week dive experience. Got caught in the hard lock down in late March and had a 3 month surface interval with not much moving around. Diving restarted here in July 2020 and I have been diving several times a week here, taken the TDI Deco and...

I had been tying the fisherman's knot to attach my necklace to the regulator. However I quickly lost two of them. Now I just tie a bowline with a small loop on each end of the bungee cord. Each can them fit tightly over the mouthpiece securely holding in place. Given a sharp enough pull, one...

I do not know why this is a question at all. DAN is dive coverage by a company that knows diving, the dangers and the treatments for these dangers. I have the full package from Dan Asia, cost around the same as 10 or 12 dives from my local dive shop. Since I dive often, it works out around...

Sounds like my story, was 40 when certified, now retired living in Moalboal and dive several times a week. I ice dove at Wesk Hawk Lake, do ,they still do that? From Portage la Prairie BTW

At a resort after a group dive we were having refreshments and one member's daughter came up to him and since she was deaf spoke to her dad in sign. Another member turned out to be a teacher at a school for the deaf, he spoke to the daughter in sign. The teacher had kids about the same age the...
