Sorry you had such an experience, but you're right probably not relavent given this thread is about GUE.

Your unwillingness to take the bet supports the "dive long enough, you may get bent" argument.

Peace.

Whose GUE Tech 1 class was this? When I volunteered to film Bob Sherwood's GUE Tech 1 class, he made it abundantly clear to me that the priority was to capture good student footage. I definitely broke trim and contorted my body all over the place as you must have in the class you filmed. Bob...

Pretty much all my gear is as I would want, and I would replace with same make and model if ever lost. The only exceptions are my dive computers (bottom timers). Suunto D6 watch and Citizen watch have such a small displays. The Citizen watch also will not display depth past 260 ft.

I'm not sure you understand statistics and probability well. Maybe I don't either. How about I bet you $1000 that if you roll the dice 1000 times, snakes eyes will show up at least once. You should have the clear advantage since each throw is independant and only has 1/36 chance of hitting...

What's a regulator?

Frankly, I could care less if you think it's undeserved or deserved. If I got bent, I'd care more about the fact that I got bent and how I could help avoid it in the future. It's kind of like falling off your roof doing work on the house and ending up in the hospital. Who gives a crap if it's...

I had trouble until I got larger or better fitting undergarments. I figured this out when I realized I could touch my valves wearing no undergarment, but I could not do so wearing the ill fitting undergarment.

Good stuff what you are doing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your service to the community, Mark. RIP.

Congratulations on taking the class. The standards in GUE classes are high, so definitely don't be too hard on yourself. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Just keep at it, and be patient with yourself. Nobody is born with these skill sets. Everybody has to work at it, so know...

Did a week in Grand Cayman diving in a drysuit. Water temps were in the low 80s, and it felt fine. On the surface, it was warm, but I would just jump in the water to cool off. I'd prefer to be in a drysuit for the redundant buoyancy as well as thermal protection on dives to deeper technical...

fyi, GUE Tech 2 = Trimix

Doesn't UTD also have a technical dive master rating? I think I was talking to one of their dive master candidates or dive master, and I remember him talking about how he was going to try to get some kind of technical dive master rating. Maybe talk to those guys as well if you are interested...

When you posted your original post, I actually thought to myself, "Leave it to the rocket scientist to dig this stuff up..." LOL

If insurance is footing the bill, definitely brand new Halcyon all the way!

I thought it might be more like a percent figure or $/product sold figure. Why would there be a limit as a manufacturer? Just wondering. In any case, I think that it's great. Have many family and friends who are cancer survivors.

That's pretty cool. Wonder what "a portion" equates to, but good stuff nevertheless.

Pink stealth. That's awesome, Marc. :rofl3:
