Then just tell your instructor and keep the eyes closed :D Not an issues at all. Most instructor ask their students if any got contacts, because its normal these days

Certifications are interchangeable. Especially with padi and sdi. Just pick a shop and let them do the classes together. They dont have to continue in the same Organisation, where they started. Most of us have certifications from different organisations

i had a lot of students with contacts, no problem. Just keep the eyes closed and tell your instructor about it. Personally i would recommend getting a mask with optical glasses, so you dont need to use contacts. There are a couple reasons for it: 1. Less chance to loose it 2. Training should...

I am not 100% sure about that, but i think lp72 are more heavy in the water then the bigger tanks. That could be a reason you experienced a different trim.

Yes bit its not really that big of a difference. Just mount the tank a timy bit ower and you should be ok.

I had some bad fitting hoods aswell. The old santi hood felt like she breaks my jaw. Now i got the 10mm waterproof and i love it. Fits good and is warm.

Yes all stages and every backgas which is not exclusively air has to be m26. I rarely see anyone with m26..

Improve my teaching and have some good courses with awesome students. Personally i want to continue my tech journey. I am still at the beginning, because my instructor had no time. I learned all the skills myself and want to do the courses now :)

In Germany anything above 21% is m26, per law. But no one follows it. Even for O2 stages m25 is used. Thats just whats used and no one is going to change it. With m26 its there might be problems to get a fill,because some fill stations have no adapter. I dont know, if the m26 is really...

Use keepers. The sleeve is not needed and is usually bouyant

Try this. While hovering in trim. I think thats a lit of task loading :D i always wanted to try that in peak bouyancy dive for aowd. But i didnt yet.

Where was the instructor? The 2 students were on the surface, alone? And why are they supposed to remove all the bcd as a first act in an emergency? That sounds strange to me.

This is not for tank testing, right?

Its more a skill of body control and bouyancy, while taskloaded. Similar to the attachment of the spool to the dsmb. In a real world its most likely already atached. But its a good bouyancy skill.

I took the time and on page 46 (German) instructor manual its clearly written. Its possible to count a adventure dive as a first dive in a specialty AND the other way around. So you can do 4 specialtys including navigation and complete the aowd with just the deep dive. So i am not wrong here...

No because deep has aowd as a prerequisite. But i have to read the manual to be sure.

The courses,which are standardized, can be used as the aowd dives. I dont see, why my info is wong? If he got a s&r specialty he can count them as one adventure dive. Same for navi and other standardized courses. So please explain me, what exactly was wrong in my statement.

You can use some of your specialtys and let them count as a aowd dive. So if you got 4 specialtys including navigation you can earn your card with theorie only and the deep dive. Or you can choose some new dives and have fun. Depends on what you want. Talk with your diveshop. Some will...

Thats not an incident. You were very lucky to see a GW. Thanks for sharing the story

I am very interested, since i was thinking about the same. Didnt find enough i formation. So i didnt start yet.
