Some valves even when open need a help by pressing the button. From your dive count, you’re still learning when to start dumping. I think it took over 100 dives to be comfortable ascending by not leaving it too long. Also, when did you last do a weight check, being overweighted means you’re air...

I have often hired a guide. I don’t like groups and I don’t solo dive. One time my regular buddy (an Assistant Advanced Instructor) was limited my time underwater so I paid for a guide. During the pre-dive brief I check they are capable of doing the dive I want, if not I modify the plan.

How a dive shop maintains their equipment has nothing to do with the agency they advertise. The agencies are only interested the “training” standards the shop follows, how a shop manages “fun” diving usually has nothing to do with the agency.

interested in what’s available.

Thanks, I stand corrected.

My Seaking is nearly 40 years old, AP still provide the parts is needed. Although the AP Autoair is a nice product, it sufferes too much from grit and sand, hence I use a ScubaPro inflator.

That's why I use Westfield. I'll be in Florida and Belize in June.

Not true, as much as the doom sayers claim. It was the then BSAC NDO meeting the Attorney General (in person) that got the case dropped

All the charges were dropped.
