The title says it all, thats what I initially learned way back when I took the Fundamentals course, It was the same in Tech. So in that spirit, my dive this weekend was a Blast! No we didnt dive in Choclate milk like some or in perfect vis either but we did a nice wreck and made it another...

I only had 50' or so vis yesterday.:D I think the weather pattern finally "Feels" Different here, a change of seasons is in the air. Oh, USBBee try moving your knees outward to keep your balance with a single 80. I was always holding my arms out and to the sides for balance before I got...

It is a cool avatar, kind of gives me Avatar envy:D Smartass is okay in my book. But thats where I draw the line:D Henry

Spartcle Brane. I think you are calculating from PSI to CF. I was going from CF to PSI thus the algebraic rearrange of the formula. I'll play with both. However I see KevRumbo's contribution here feels a lot better to me, I'll be giving that one a try also. Keep em coming, thanks for the...

Heres a safe topic:D I had trouble with calculating Psi from an Al40 using 1.25 as my tank factor. It seems I just cant multiply with 1.25 without using a calculator. Heres what someone suggested to me. Divide by 5 then multiply by 4. 5/40 =8 and 8 X 4=3200 PSI. I'd be willing to...

Rainman, your question is too ambiguous for one. Ask 20 divers "What is their perception of penetration" and you'll get as many answers. Of course in Gue training the instructors usually will default to "Go to the horses mouth" for information. This question would be better served being asked...

"3:03 on the timer, divers are in ship with some holes on the side. Daylight can be seen. No lines. Definitely an overhead environment. @2:53 on the timer of that clip, diver goes in to hole to go to deck below. Now two decks in, no lines. Definitely an overhead environment. Meng Tze, good...

Doc, very nice video. I'm thoroughly tempted to make the switch to a real video camera after seeing your footage. I think we have a few people from our area coming out to dive with you soon, that cold water is a bit much for us locals....

Swim though only guys... sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theory. Creative editing and video work makes this very confusing and gives the illusion of real danger:D Is there some risk? sure, we are inside the wreck. But besides that heres what you dont see. First, the camera is an Oly...

Rainman, thanks for asking about the line!, yes its a bit of creative license on my part to aim the camera away from the swim thrus:D Henry

Hmmm, seemed simple to add a link:eyebrow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVKz1wbhpbk

Ok, heres a quick video shot with my Oly 5050 in video mode. May one day I'll get a good shot:D We still had more fun than a barrel of monkeys...... Blue water Divers took just us 2 out, what a treat! Hope everyone had a great weekend, I'm back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to it...

Thanks for the info. and report Mark. Wow that class was staggered quite a bit across the weeks, hopefully in this time you can go out and practice handling those extra bottles. This approach does make sense, I actually split the T-1 class over a month this gave me the time to come up to...

Hi all, we had a great dive on the Jim Atria in Ft. Laud. today. We piggybacked on a T-1 class doing their experience dive completing their course. Congratulations to Guediver! for his T-1 pass:D It was very interesting to learn Ed hangs out here in the forum! The Wreck was fantastic. A...

"We can debate things all day long here in the forums or out at the dive site. But in the end, just shut up and dive! Shortly after that he convinced me to take a fundies class and..." That about sums it up! Theres some great reasons for Dir given here, I went down the path less traveled when a...

Mike, I read the thread when I check in, but my original intent was to bring attention to the air fill problem which might and has affected other users of the Board. I have no complaints about the dive operation that they run, I'm sure its great. Living in south fl. makes the drive bearable...

Brent, I tried shooting a 75lb lift bag. I'm diving tommorow and I think I'll stuff the large sausage in my backplate mounted halcyon pocket. Meng-Tze, the mistake I made was biting off more than I could chew at a depth and obligation that I feel might have put myself or someone else at risk...

Just as a note: I have had the bejezus drilled out of me using the normal prerigged spool and Smb. I also have a large Smb which still doesnt present much surface area to the current. The normal team procedure is to have someone hold the reel and one person inflate the bag. We almost...

Ok heres a post about one part of last weekends dive on the Jim Atria that didnt go quite like the textbook version that we like to dream about. I've never shot a large liftbag from depth using a reel. So I dutifully notified the team what I would like to do. No problems so far:D Of course...

Hi all, just wanted to share another negative air fill experience in Key largo. We returned from a morning on the Spiegel and tried to get Nitrox fills at Ocean Divers. Some how they've decided not to fill tanks with just vip o2 cleaned decals around the tank neck. They insist on having a...
