I always try keep some air bubbles in my nose so that water doesn't go up.

Don't stress. If 10 yr old children can pass and have fun while doing the course then you'll do fine. My fiance recently qualified and her biggest issue was having the mask off her face, but even though she didn't enjoy that part of the skills, she passed with flying colours because she just...

And this has what to do with the cost of diving?

qualified 8 years ago and in the first year of diving I managed 50, but then kinda fell out of the sport until this year march and have done about 18 dives since restarting, so on average I guess that makes less than 20 a year

My diving club has also switched to Reef Teach for those reasons and haven't looked back at all

When did they build a lock up garage? Last time I drove to Moz we were parking in a field

Enjoy your trip...I'm sure you'll love it here.

I've quickly done a quick spreadsheet (metric), but will change the formulas to imperial if required. It's really simple. You enter depth (msw), O2%, and time (minutes), and it displays PO2, CNS%, EAD, as well as your Max single exposure and Max 24hr exposure. PM me with your email address...

The only times I believe you should be asked for your c-card/logbook is when filling with EANx or when asked by an insta-buddy /DM/instructor before a course or supervised dive.

I agree whole heartedly with these sentiments. You already have most of your hard gear, apart from a tank. Your dad owns numerous tanks, so just use one of them. Also, tanks are not items which you want to transport. Just use rentals when you go diving anywhere outside of driving...

It's a pity Mercury is so toxic...it would be wonderful as ballast for scuba. With a Specific gravity of over 13, it's more dense than lead, and being liquid at room temp would make it so my more comfortable to wear that lead as it would conform to your body's shape

I've only ever really dived with independant female divers. I have seen only 1 woman diver who was totally dependant on her husband, but that was many years ago. During my first 2 years of diving, I regularly dove with two women who were very independant...in fact, we used to compete in a...

Actually PO2 plays a role regardless of whether you're diving EAN or not. It's just that rec diving limits don't come close to 1.4 PO2 when on air Dive to 54m (1.4 PO2) or 63m or (1.6 PO2) on air and you'd be on the limits of oxygen toxicity

Mosquito < D4 < Stinger < D6 < D9 is how I see it. The mosquito is the cheap plastic relative of the stinger The D4 is closer to the Stinger but lacks gauge mode, but has deep stops (I think) The D6 has a compass and deep stops, and 2 gases The D9 has compass and deep stops, 3 gases and is...

Well I think I found it. Pt is the logging interval.

Thanks for all your replies. Will look into Tohfinio, Bazaruto and Benquerra. Unfortunately I don't own a capable vehicle, that and we'd be flying in, so lifts would be essential. I've put in a query with JoLo, as well as a few travel agents for mauritius/seychelles/maldives etc, so...

On friday evening, my fiancee and I went through to our LDS to pick up her Nemo Sport, which she is absolutely thrilled with. Once we got home though she immediately handed it to me to "figure out" for her. I took a brief look through the manual and began "figuring out". I have one...

As stated before, I'd also stay very far away from any diver who got mad because you cut the dive short. When I started taking my diving further than OW, I was lucky enough to have a very good instructor who made it very clear that any diver can call any dive for any reason...no questions...

Clarifon, Where abouts in SA are you and how much in Rands are you looking at spending? I'm picking up my fiancee's Mares Nemo Sport tomorrow night for R3999.99 You might also be interested in the Mares Puck which IU think goes for about R3000. ps. Have you had the opportunity to play...

I know I'm addicted...especially because I'm seriously considering taking the wedding money to finance new gear
