Jim, good to hear people acknowleding ****ups. I was reading some of the DIR posts (in a different thread) and get one of them to admit any racing heart beat at 60m will be like trying to get a hotel room with water in New Orleans. Mistakes make the diver. Redundancy gets you home. boogey

I really feel awful posting this message...but, then again... Tuesady night....leave work, go diving.... Wednesday night...go home see her indoors, nice food for dinner....went to the cinema and saw "Wallace and Gromit""...funny as fkuc. Thursday....leave work, go diving....a few beers...

For it is the doom of divers that they forget.... REMEMBER and tell... No task loading stories pls...that's your own fault. boogey

Just wondering how many people still use A clamps...?? I think we all have stories of o-rings blowing at 40m and passing the redundant.... BUT would it have happened if the gear was all rigged at 300 bar and we all dived with DIN?? It is accepted universally that it's the best rig..so...

Can I ask a question for deco divers that dive within air limits (70m),,, 1. What gases do you take for travel, back and deco? Tell me the variations of the diving because my question is very open. I am very very intersted to hear experiences. boogey

I know every diver has had a scare....it keeps you alive... I'll briefly tell you mine and how I am just still getting over it...and your stories are welcome... Immediately before I moved to Curacao, I had a last dive in the lake in Luxembourg. It's basically cold diving...depth 35-40m...

Oh not you.....I came here to escape...

Pasley, Thanks for the concern....she turned out to be fine and kind of you to ask. We flew Sunday lunch time and she had a pain in her shoulder on Monday. She put the decision off until Tuesday and was in the pot that night and the next day and she did say her symptoms went. It is...

Padiscubapro, Sounds interesting...that's a good price. I'll give it some thought but I was thinking more of a cheaper second hand vr2 as back up but $1000 is very tempting. It has colour screen and you are able to supply all relevent pin numbers? boogey

Thanks....I'll start asking around. I suppose it would be fairly easy to link up with a small group as I would be as a single student for these courses...my wife won't be interested in this but she'll want to be tehre to make sure I am ok. I'll check the cave forum as suggested. boogey

I appreciate the welcome.....very kind of you. I'll see you on the boards....and if you ever come to Curacao...hopefully see you here too. boogey

Thanks all....been an intersting read and quite enlightening. boogey

I was given a zeagle set up to test when I was back in the cold dark lakes of Luxembourg. Fairly decent but it wasn't a match for the Beuchat VX 10 Iceberg that I was using at the time. I laso had s Scuba pro mk 25 s600 rigged for cold water...that free flowed a fair bit too but performed second...

Interesting to read..... We went to Palua 2 years on the trot, back in 91 and 92. Each time we were there for 3 weeks I dived (my wife is a very nervous diver so didn't do too much). What a place...it's the best warm water diving in the world. I was only BSAC and PADI OW when we first...

I hope this a perfect opportunity to get some help from you cave divers... I am looking forward to gettting my cavern diving course under my belt once and for all. I have been silly and done many a cave penetration in Europe with only ice and wreck OHE experience before. I would like to...

Joe...thanks for the info. When you said you can't believe you're saying they're being used safely. does that mean that you view them as odd/unsafe. Never used/seen them myself but they do sound odd/unsafe. Do you know why they were dreampt up in the first place? Was it a case...

GO GO...run from the plane...as soon as Cayman immigration let you and get wet. Cayman diving is OK. On the return, you can dive 12 hours before a flight, 18 hours if its two dives and don't think about deco and flying for at least 24. Check your dive comp for your saturation percentage or...

I remember reading about something called a J valve....if I remember correctly, it released an extra supply of gas, from a reserve, when the tank was nearing empty. I also read that if the switch hadn't been switched back, on filling, the diver thought he would have a full tank but only the...
