I'm thinking I may wish I had a set of those for my next dive!

what IrishDiver thinks abot hot air now?

That's where I am with PADI. Got several specialties (Nitrox being one of them) as well because they were reasonably inexpensive, I could do them locally, and I think the instuctor is a pretty knowledgeable and consientious guy. But, mostly as a result of this discussion board, I think I'd...

to see if you BC isn't completely deflating or something. Your weighting will almost cetrtainly come done. You're about the same size as me. I dive Al80 in a 7mil neoprene dry. Started at 26# (in fresh water) when I fisrt got it early last fall. As I learned to handle it, I've slowly...

I'm aware that there are several models used with various different planners. We've been working through some of this on another thread. From what it looks like to me (I think you mention it above) Navy uses the 120 compartment, but there's a conversion method to be more conservative. don't...

in the preface of the book. It's copyright date is 1991, so may or may not still be there.

I have BRW's Diving Above Sea Level. Mike's description sounds very similar to what this book. Actually it's ver batim. I can do the math, I was just hoping I wouldn't have to. You know, you get use to the tables, and nice & easy, blah,blah.... What's missing are some practical worked...

I'm taking a PADI altitude course. Like most PADI courses, here's the book. Any questions? Working through the dive planning is fairly straightforward. I have a reaonable amount of formal secondary physics and science education, and grasping the conversions aren't that difficult. I'm taking...

or at least I haven't been able to fine them yet. I was origiginally trained with Navy tables, and am in the process of getting them in my hands again. If you go to the link I provided, it read as thought the answer to the questions I asked would be yes. that jsut didn't seem right...

Got a reponse on the thread I started in the Dr. Deco forum. Indicationis that the Navy Manual has a table for this. I aggree. I din't intend to imply that. But I think you stillhave to do the theoretical depth to determine use in the decompression model. I've had a Navy manual on...

Guess I should have known the place to get it would be the Navy Dive Manual. Weinke's book on altitude diving lists references to it. I ordered one in an electronic format. Hopefully be here in a few days. I have a lot of questions~ not just altitude ~ that I figured I could get from...

but in a sort of rational way if you thnk about it long enough. What your really doing is makking a rreeaaalllyy slow ascent from depth. with this metthod if you think about it. I think I saw somewhere to use 2 fsw for each thousand feet of air. so an 8000 foot ascent in air would...

I know. I just stumbled across that site. It's seems reasonable to me as well, but it's almost too simple. that's why I questioned it in the first place. There's still got to be a way to determine the actual surface interval prior to departure and use the actual dive site elevation to...

There have been a couple of threads open recently regarding diving at altitude, and obligation of agencies that train a ta altitude. SMKChef actually post this one Altitude, cold, & DCS in this forum. A number of has carried on a discusion related to it. the gist of the somewhat unresolved...

Looks as though Stephen was right. Don't know why I thought not. :bonk: :confused: I found this site Altitude Dive Table . It appears to support Stephen Ash's concept of simply using the highest expected elevation anticipated after diving, and use it to run the tables. Walter? Mike? Is...

Okay. Been trying to keep up with the posts on fins, but want to confirm I have the info I've seen correct. Looking at either Jets or Quattros. I currently use a set TUSA Xpert zooms (yeah, splits, but I like them). I'll probably keep using my Zooms for the warm water vacations. They are...

You have that right. I'd like to find a relatively easy method to determine the surface interval required to achieve a safe group to ascend to a specified altitude after dive. This book I have indicates it can be done with the navy tables, but even so, doesn't list any examples to halp...

First off- we've got to get together and buddy before the DIR-F class. I'm sure you'd like a little brush up as much as me. Looks like it got changed to April which is better for me. And what was that other post about no Quattros in that class? Oh, well! Back on topic of altitude: I...

Didn't see the name. Sorry, I think it may have actually been Saturday about 11:00. It was a pontoon tied up at an island about 1/2 mi north of the north ramp at Pleasant Harbor on the east side of the lake. Looked, but didn't see bubbles, but we were a few hundred yards away, and with the...

Rain? Lucky you. We were over for the Birthday Regatta. Winds were a bit flukey for sailing, had a blast, but tired today. We were talking. Couldn't imagine that place on a summer holiday weekend! I'm a trout fisherman, too. One of the things I hope to get on this ice diving trip is a...
