Ya, well we count using Hexadecimal in ASL....LOL :mooner: Chris....cave manuals have a pile of hand signs....but in reality you'll use very few on your standard rec dive than you've probably not covered already. If you're trying to convey an entire paragraph, for whatever reason I wouldn't...

Having done this site with Christi myself, I can back her up on what she says 100%. She had us do a couple days of diving with her (DM), because we were unknowns to her at the time. And Geez, it's been so long maybe we're unknowns to her again :) Fastest current I've experienced in Coz by...

10 years of diving......oh I just checked, never mind.......... Lets start using our heads here erpara.

And if you ever read those nonsense RSTC standards you would run for the hills....BTW the RSTC (WRSTC) was created BY the agencys AFTER they were formed to give you a feel-good moment. The RSTC standards are a 'cater to the lowest commmon denominator', which is exaclty what PADI and the other...

All models rely on a given maximum ascent rate (and should minimum, but that is rarely an issue with most divers) Told ya it'd rot your brain. ;) What else would you have it do while ascending, regardless of model, table, wheel or computer?

Not sure what the defined 'law' is here, but I know for a fact that at least one GUE instructor will NOT let you retest 'solo', in fact I'd go so far as to say none of them would. Solo just is not in the vocabulary nor mindset. If you mean can one person on the team fail with the others...

Sounds like Steve S's system.

LOL, well, I can see you just made it up :) And for the record I never said use a computer :D, it'll rot your brain doncha know. I prefer to just roll the the dice for SI and NDL. Clipped off, right pocket. ;)

LOL, I brought that up for kicks and grins during my IDC...........lol. Nothing like tossing in a grenade and then walking away... :D I think it's important to note that that profile is not only seriously aggressive, but you wouldn't have enough gas on a single 80 or 100 to do it properly...

May not be true, but I think the reality of it is Nitrox 'works' a little better with AOW dives than the puddle-jumping 20-30ft dives our OW divers in this area tend to do. Our preference is as stated, we highly recommend Nitrox and AOW training at the same time. This give our students some...

And the cost of this beast is????? BTW, any thought of the majority of people following this line of schooling would surely meet with a load of laughter. OW, AOW I don't care were the info gets in there, as long as it does, which in most cases, it does not. I can also assure you that I have...

Show's how many people actually bother reading the rag, I would suspect ;)

Holy, you're psychic Walter!!!

people want to be advanced divers. and most do not want to work for it, as it's usually ego and/or marketted as a higher order of diving that they must achieve to be 'good'. I really can't see teaching a lot of the truly 'advanced' topics right out of the gate of OW, but even then, the course...

I'm just going to punch my keyboard a few times..if you see a name come out of it then I guess I got lucky......I'm also pretty sure it would be untraceable in a web search since that's what I hear is the biggest reason for not naming anyone..... <puch punch> H!e@a#t$h L%a^e&t*a(r)i <punch...

I guess you've totally missed the point made several times by two of us. Thanks for coming out. There is no argument to be made for forcing deep air diving as a part of standard training criteria for those that do not wish to do so, and never NEED to do so.

Exactly Lamont. I don't give a rats behind if someone ELSE wants to dive deep air. I know many folks that ONLY want to dive wrecks in our area in the 120-160ft range, and they have to slink around with their Adv Nitrox/Deco (air to 150ft) card looking for someone with enough common sense to...

Read it again and I said MOST of the people reading this should have the OPTION. I'm well aware of the excuses a few give........ and I knew someone would be trotting it out here inside of 2 posts....lol. I guss I win the bet again. I'm asking for the OPTION for the MAJORITY to do the smart...

I'd like to see the agency's wake up and start supplying divers with the brains to not to deep air dive, the OPTION to learn decompression diving using helium right off the bat. There is absolutely no need for most of the divers reading these posts to HAVE to dive air when it's not the safest...
