This article gives a very good description of the incident and subsequent trial. Divernet: Diving instructor cleared in 'safety-stop' death case. https://divernet.com/scuba-diving/diving-instructor-cleared-in-safety-stop-death-case/

I'm heading up to Ginnie Springs on Thursday April 21st if anyone is interested in some midweek diving? I am Intro Level as of November last year, and I have done 15 Intro cave dives since then (Peacock, Madison and Ginnie). I dive backmount doubles (either HP 120s or LP 104s). I am really...

Thanks for all the updates. I heard Peacock was still looking good somehow?

I'm planning on diving Ginnie Friday, so thanks for all the reports. With the weather / rainfall the way it is do you guys think conditions are likely to improve or worsen? Thanks.

This sounds like so much fun!

Thanks!

I'm in the same situation, it says Scuba Instructor instead of Divemaster under my name.

Thanks!!! That was a really good read. I find it fascinating how hurricanes can have such an affect on shipwrecks lying 100' + below the surface.

That is impressive. I would love to have the opportunity to dive a wreck that many times. You must feel like you know every inch of it. And when changes occur like you said with the hurricanes, it must be a lot easier for you to get reorientated and work out what happened. When I dived the...

Wow! Your photos are phenomenal! You saw a lot of big marine life. Do you have any photos of the wreck itself?

Did a Search and Recovery sub-forum ever get created? I can't find it if it did!

I've been thinking about how to reply to this thread for a while, as I would like to say that I do have defined limits on how /when I solo dive. But the reality for me is that my diving limits are actually more conservative with a buddy than without one. I started solo diving due to wanting to...

Same here! It was a little pricey going with Stuart Scuba. $120 vs JDC which I think is only $80 for the same trip. But it was nice and quick going out of the St Lucie inlet rather than having to drive all the way to Jupiter and then a long boat ride back up the coast. Stuart Scuba seem to do...

I got to dive the USS Rankin on Friday in Stuart Florida. I dived with Stuart Scuba and really liked their operation, very relaxed. The water was beautifully calm on the surface, like glass. However the viz was cloudy and not great on the bottom. It was hard to get oriented especially with the...

Just dived Solo with Stuart Scuba out of the St Lucie inlet in Florida. They are Solo and Tech friendly. They had a very relaxed approach. I told them I was SDI Solo certified when booking. On the boat it was me and a rebreather diver both doing solo tech profiles (and another buddy team diving...

Totally understandable. And I agree on the two year gap. I was just hopeful!

Per your original few posts, after emailing TDI you did not believe there to be a time limit. This is what I understood to be the case. My mistake. Regardless, again, per TDI, this is not an option anyway. I don't have anymore information for you so I suggest you contact TDI directly if this...

I apologize for opening a can of worms here, that was not my intention. Just to clarify my personal situation and position........ I'm not saying @stuartv was incorrect 5 years ago (I'm just giving an update on what TDI is saying now), I am not complaining in any way. I'm not arguing with TDI...

My NDL display switches to @+5 when in Deco. I put the timer there for safety stops on Rec dives (rather than switching between Rec and Tech modes), but on my last dive I found it is also useful for managing air breaks during O2 deco as well.

Regardless, I was basing it (incorrectly), on what I read in this thread. I was just posting to confirm that per TDI this is not an option. I'm not saying TDI's position is wrong. I am just trying to make sure no one else makes the same mistake I did.
