Most likely, as with me, the issue is getting on board or on shore with a full set of gear. If you were in trouble, I would ditch my gear and have no problems getting on shore or in the boat. However... In a normal situation, giving me a balancing hand, and enabling me to carry my stuff to...

Being a girl, with a neuromuscular condition and up until recently quite heavy, this is a challenge I have faced on quite a lot of dives. Divers who believe that "if you can't carry your equipment up the (incredibly stupidly constructed) boatladder you are not capable of doing the dive... I...

I can't remember that being a theme during my T1/T2/CCR2 classes with the exeption of the point jadairii is making above. Limiting exposure to what is needed to achieve the objective that you want to achieve, keeping in mind local temperatures, weather volatility, currents, traffic and so on...

These: Nordic Blue Tørrhansker for Ringsystem - Fue.no

What do the people in your community dive with, and where do you see yourself diving? I know that in the nordics, diving d12s for recreational diving is quite common. Personally I have only used singles rig when diving abroad (warm water tropics) and consider doubles (small D7s or bigger D12s)...

What is it about that crotch strap that makes it not appealing?

If you broke off the nipple, you are going to want to do what Divin'Pawpaw over says. Get a new inflator. If the wing is relatively new I'd take it to the shop you got it from. I only know of Kingfish that deals Halcyon in Copenhagen, but I assume they can help out. If not, then dgx is a fast...

What happened to it? Could you just screw it back in again?

I AM a woman.... I am not petite, but a few of my friends are (Hence the comment about getting a small plate) I have been both grossly overweight, and normal weight. I only spoke of MY experience. I have never said anything was "scandalous" but MY experience has been that chest-straps and...

Good point. Soft BCDs not specifically made for women are usually made using "unisex" MALE avg measurements. Men usually have quite a longer torso then women and "unisex" bcds therefore tend to ride low on hips, with the consequence of being hard to properly cinch around the waist and will ride...

Get a proper BPW. I have used mine in everything from bikinitops to 2C coldwater drysuit. Halcyon webbing is a slight bit softer, but I have never missed padding on mine. (I live in a 3rd floor city apartment and carry my 120lbs CCR up and down the stairs in nothing but a t-shirt. (Edit: AND...

No. This is not the GUE I am familiar with. My experience is of a community interested in understanding both physical and psychological reactions and working as a team to process and overcome challenges. Usually there is some explainable reason for reactions under water. Finding the root cause...

Check out Dyk-Leif at Väderöarna. Very nice naturediving with a very nice operator. Has a boat with a lift. https://dykleif.se/ He'll fix you up with diving and accomodation!

Don't worry. That is usually a technique error and not a factual stretchyness. Make sure you have enough room in underarms, overarms, shoulders and overall length on the suit. Keep proper amount of bubble in the suit. Make sure your harness is loose enough to promote the movements. It is the...

As you see on the pictures, the hose is indeed around the back of the neck. I understand your experience of (il)logical fright based on previous experiences. Your fright while illogical to most of us, is absolutely logical based on your previous experience. This should not be taken lightly...

What is a "super 80"? Regards... the ignorant european...

Honestly... I don't think you'll find a tech-diver out there using "nitrox regulators". We use normal regulators, and just make sure to clean and lube with proper o2- grease when the need arises. In my home-area (Norway) scubapro and apeks are quite popular... the go to colour is black... And...

Question... You said you were in Double Alu80s. Are you SURE you were actually leg heavy? The reason I ask is that top heavy can often feel like "leg heavy" for the diver, because the natural way of compensating for being top heavy is to either go completely out of trim, legs down. (Because If...

Like the other GUE-divers here, in my opinion this does not constitute "Failing" Fundies. In a very short amount of time, a quite substantial increase in taskload and motorskills is introduced into your dives. Add to that "test-pressure" and nerves and the techpass might feel infinitely far...

Just to mess things up... Have a look at Ursuit. Finnish made. The SoftDura is super nice to dive in. Only suit I have ever had two of (the first one grew in size over the winter). Have also had BARE and First Gen Santi Emotion.
