The divemobile... Just for inspiration

Go diving! and have fun! (In other words... don't overthink it) You have already met and dived with your instructor. He most likely gave you very sound advice. Maybe do a nightclass so you can join the local GUE crowd a the Tuesday afternoon dives. Might prove to be inspiring. Go for a dive...

You wanted cheap. Go with Molnar Janos then.... His wifes farm IS ON the land of the PLURA cave in Norway. Jani is absolutely cave focused. You asked for reccomendations for quality instructors that wont break the bank. You need to consider 3 things. Location. Price. Quality. You can have 2...

Have a chat with Jani Santala at Plura Valley. I am not sure of his class schedule atm, but he is a good instructor. Normally lives and teaches in Plura/Norway, but also teaches in Långban MIne and Tuna Hästberg Mine in Sweden, Montola MIne in Finland, or in Molnar Janos Hungary. At least for...

For anecdotal evidence.... I tried a full suitflood in the baltic (brackish) sea with a D12 and 3 stages after a T2 dive there. My Halcyon Evolve 40 worked like a charm. (The full suit flood came at maximum bottomtime, just before planned ascent. So with no less 1/3 gas in tanks (probably more...

Before you do ANYTHING.... Try one dive with shoulderstraps so loose that you kan get a fist between your suit and the straps, and a properly fastened waistband WITH the crotchstrap. Most likely your issues comes from too tight shoulder bands. As long as you have fastened your waistband and...

Yes... Nordic Blue XS or S (FUE is your dealer) Mulig DUK har noen igjen i Medium (som tilsvarer Nordic Blue sine Small)

If you have been a carrier of MRSA and been successfully treated and confirmed a non-carrier I would personally trow away the wetsuit and get a new one. Completely cleaning/eradicating MRSA from a porous material like neoprene will be exceedingly difficult. If you still were to try to "clean it"...

While the narrow D7s are nice, getting a Wide D7 with a manifolded isobar will make sense for you.

Unfortunately, the legislation took a turn for the worse a few years ago when they consolidated several laws/pretexts to laws into one "doesn't fit any" law about commercial diving. The problem is that they define anything that involves pay or equipment as commercial diving. And the law for...

You should contact Gunnar Midtgaard. GUE CCR2 instructor. He works in the Norwegian Diving Assosiation NDF and one of his main responsibilities is the cooperation between NDF, Instructors and the Authorities. It is true, the Norwegian legislation is bonkers and is only geared on high intensity...

It has a timer... with seconds. So... if you spend 30 seconds from 12m to 9m. Stop for 30 seconds. Then Travel 30 seconds from 9 to 6m. Chill for 30 seconds. And you have 3m/min.

Been diving Primary Donate in scandinavia and the Oslo fjord (where every winter has sub-zero water temp) for the pas 10+ years. NO issues with freeflow. Even when practising gas donation. I have not heard reports of this happening either. I HAVE however heard reports of non-functioning back-ups...

I was honest curiosity behind the question. Staying calm and collected after 1-2 minutes post last is impressive either way.

Question: What was your rationale for not going straight to the surface when you had two failing regs? If you are not breathing, you are not really offgassing either, so a safety stop is neither effective nor warranted? Wouldn't the safer option be to surface sooner?

I would assume that the regulatory value for work of breath is related more to the fysiologically higher risk of CO2 retention with following risks rather than the overheating of the regs. If you need to work hard to breathe, your respiratory rate will eventually slow down and the volume of each...

Nope. The times I have tried it... I have hated it.

Nice to get the knowledge though. Just didn't come out in your story that you did fundies in single tank.
