    Light-for-Me service (does that exist?)

    You did try to contact light-for-me for just 3 months? You should be much more patient. I’m trying to contact them for almost 1 year. They did sent me 1 message that it’s hard to run a business during COVID. You can try scubasupport.NL maybe the can help you with a torch. They can repair most...

    Er zit ook een groot verschil tussen materiaal van seals. Ik heb latex, neoprene en siliconen gehad. Latex vind ik niet fijn. Maar ook dikte maakt uit, je hebt latex seals van dun material en heavy duty (dik materiaal). Dat dikke material vind ik nog erger. Als je lange duiken en/of diepe...

    Question Sidemount or backmount doubles?

    You still have to climb the hill with your tanks. Sidemount tanks connected to a sidemount rig is not easy. Tanks will move, (even underwater my aluminum tanks positions will not be the same when my tanks are full and when they are empty). The same will be happening when climbing a hill. I...

    Question Sidemount or backmount doubles?

    Sidemount is more complicated. In doubles you should have the same mix. In sidemount tanks it’s not always the same. When you share gas with a buddy, back mount is very effective, you can both breath until there is no gas anymore. With sidemount 1 tank will be empty earlier. With backmount...

    I did found this somewhere in my email, but I don’t know if it’s correct.

    GUE Fundamentals

    The setpoint is always at 1.2. Only during deco I use my mav to add more oxygen. I know it’s also possible to change the setpoint in the controller during the dive, because I did try to change it during a deco stop at 6 meter. I always use 1.2 during the dive, other teammembers are also using...

    GUE Fundamentals

    I do like the gue configuration. It’s still possible to donate a longhose. Because of that it’s easy to dive with buddies who dive oc. When I do a tech dive in open water I only have decostage(s), there is no bottomstage. I also like the backup regulator with necklace. There is a lot of...

    GUE Fundamentals

    Gf 20/85, I did learn that during gue training and that’s wat I’m still using. When I did ccr1 I was using a uwatec TEC 2g in gauge mode and the petrel2 ccr controller . Ratio deco / pragmatic deco or other calculations during the dive are not accurate enough or not even possible anymore for...

    It was before I was using a rebreather otherwise I should have used 18/45. :)

    GUE Fundamentals

    I will tell you in my own words what my ccr1 instructor told me. Ccr1 is just like fundamentals. You learn a lot. But it's mod 1 + mod 2. It's already very much for 1 week what you learn at other agency's in two weeks. When there is an issue you have to bailout. Small issues can be solved. But...

    GUE Fundamentals

    Yes, I do understand, my 30/30 was 28% oxygen, there was not a problem 🙂

    GUE Fundamentals

    I'm also sure it's not the way it is everywhere. But most of my diving is in The Netherlands were I live. I see it happen a lot of times, everybody here knows it's happening. (I prefer 25/25 for that kind of dives. But that's not a gue standard mix, I don't like 30/30.) In the past GUE was...

    GUE Fundamentals

    I think it depends on where you dive and which GUE instructors and/or divers also dive there. In 2018 I was joining a gue project. The project was finished. Next day we were doing a fun dive (baron Gautsch, depth 28 - 40 meter). We were in a group of divers and were discussing our planning. I...

    Dutch scuba fans?

    Voor 2022 heb ik nog niet zo veel plannen. Wel wil/hoop ik 25 mooie duiken maken. Daarmee bedoel ik een tech en/of cave duik van 2 tot 4 uur. Dat komt erop neer dat in ieder geval 25 duiken wil maken waar ik mijn rebreather echt voor nodig heb en dat kost me meestal een hele dag voor 1 duik...

    DIR- Generic CCR1 class report in Croatia (Krnica) with Derk Remmers

    If you want to damage the delrin parts between the stand and JJ canister you should do that… The JJ and D7 are a lot of weight. When the bottoms of the D7 are at the stand, the weight /force at the delrin parts is reduced. When the D7 tanks do not toch the stand all the weight and force is at...

    Bij het Oostvoornse meer is het weer het juiste jaargetijde. Dat betekent koud water en goed zicht. De houten wrakken blijven indrukwekkend.

    Dennis is maandag bij Trufe ook binnengekomen met een D12. Hij heeft zitten graven en wij hebben ook nog gravel naar de zijkant geduwd voordat hij naar binnen ging. Het hangt van jezelf af en de omstandigheden. Soms moet het gravel aan de kant duwen om binnen te kunnen komen. Ik ben er een...

    Het zicht werd met de dag beter. De eerste dag vlogen er stenen uit de ingang en kwamen we niet (op een veilige/acceptabele manier) binnen. Succes in april, waarschijnlijk is het dan beter dan nu, slechter kan bijna niet. :)

    Ik ben terug van een lang weekemd Frankrijk. Doordat er in de voorgaande weken veel regen was gevallen viel er helaas weinig te duiken. We hadden veel spullen thuis kunnen laten. Van de 9 flessen heb ik er maar 2 gebruikt.
