You've misquoted me, I said RIB diving. Which is mainly done in the UK by clubs not commercial operators who tend to operate hard boats (which mainly have lifts). Its your fellow divers who are most likely to 'grab' your kit, not professional crew.
And yes I have seen transmitters damaged...
Most RIB diving in the U.K. involves removing kit in water where the cox/crew take it onboard, then you climb in over the tubes. There isn’t the time to ‘look’ for a lifting handle, kit is grabbed by whatever is handy and dragged in.
I was hoping for an hour yesterday on a 30m dive, but my buddy (on a 15Lt, me on a 12Lt) got low on gas, so only 50 min. Saturday was 70 on a 10, but only 10m.
First water 9’C, second 11’C.
I did the survey yesterday.
When I did my master’s I had to have a clear question that the survey should help answer. I didn't get that impression from yours.
Hi, welcome to the underwater world.
That ‘gadget’; how often do you think you’ll go back and look at a dive’s 3D profile. The novelty will soon where off, then you’ve paid for a function you don’t use.
However, if you get into diving seriously, you’ll buy all sorts of gadgets and items...
I dived 8 years in a 8mm wetsuit, with 16mm over my torso. I often made excuses not to do a 2nd dive. Once I switched to a drysuit, I’d happily do 3 dives.
Go for a drysuit.
That’s the myth. When the U.K. HSE did the research they found divers did what they were taught in an OOG situation. Even 20 years after training.
The BSAC incident reports do not contain evidence that the ‘in-use’ reg is snatched.
