Sorry but if DAN adopts a term I'll take it as gospel. Regardless, replace DCI with AGE in my posts I dont think you would disagree with me in saying that for someone not trained to do so a CESA from 100ft has its risks of over expansion injuries. Besides we both agree on the general...

I could only find ones with barbie on it....Im not that self confident in manhood to go there.

Totally speaking out of my butt (as usual) but I doubt there is little difference from UTD intro and GUE fundies at a rec pass level. I know they diverge at the "tech" level but I dont know if you would know enough to decide on the abitrary differences from one or the other. Personally I'd say...

We can both agree on that! :D DAN Divers Alert Network : Decompression Illness: What Is It and What Is The Treatment? UHMS also recommended phasing out the term type I through IV for describing DCS and I believe that has happened as well.

Get with the times Thal, DCI is a term used to describe DCS and AGE. Hell it's even in the current PADI open water manual.

its understandable, balls of steels requires a large jock strap.

lol i like you for some reason. I enthusiastically await reading more of your posts :D

This is the crux of what i find wrong with your methods. The more narced you get the harder it is to know how impaired you really are. By the time you realize that you are beyond your limits it's usually to late to preemptively thumb the dive and you are already starting down into the incident...

Are you looking into getting an instructor for a GUE primaries class or just talking about doing some demo type dives?

Yeah i always forget about the buoyancy ascent since i rule it out because its so dangerous. A CESA from 100' at 60fpm ascent probably wont result in a DCS but the chance of a DCI in a diver not comfortable doing a CESA is high which is why i have problems with PADI dropping buddy breathing...

I did misquote and someone called me out on it all ready. This statement is dangerous. You can no more teach someone how to handle narcosis any more then you can teach someone to handle their alcohol. Just because you might have a higher tolerance for nitrogen narcosis doesn't mean that...

Because a lot of us, myself included, have a problem with anyone saying this.... It has been shown time and time again in study after study that only repetitive tasks can be manageable under the effects of narcosis. When things go badly and you have to react in a way that isn't ingrained...

For your deep dive training what sort of exercises did your instructor teach you to better handle narcosis? I am being a bit silly as im sure your deep training consisted of the instructor telling you the dangers of diving deeper on air and then straight to 120. "how did you feel at 120"? "I...

Every GUE instructor I know will tell you why GUEs END is 100ft. Then they will tell you that you are an adult and can choose to dive as you see fit after class. Their goal is to educate you as much as possible to the dangers of technical diving. It's up to you to decide what your individual...

I've got to give you credit for all the time you spent digging up images to make this post. smartass :mooner: lol

Why point are you trying to make? That ENDs are black and white and if your training agency says its X it should always be X?

Most studies into the impact of nitrogen narcosis sees an affect in the majority of subjects at an END of 100ft. Just guessing that this is why the more recent tech diving agencies recommend an END of 100ft. For me personally I stopped diving 32% to do wreck penetration dives at 100ft due to...

Every tech diver I know has their own personal END that they are comfortable with. Some are ok with END's beyond recommended ranges. All of the tech divers I know have a very well grounded understanding of these risks. If they choose to dive beyond safe diving limits then that is on them...

This a thread in the technical diving subforum. Most agencies now a days agree that diving air beyond recreational limits has to great of a risk and therefore recommend trimix. I think doing something recognized as dangerous when there is a safer option is by definition stupid.

I wanted clarification in how he felt helium brought it's own risks when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. I shouldn't have made the statement that his intent was to state air was better then helium. Bottom line he makes these posts to do nothing but stir up a hornets nest. People...
