Ok it looks like the majority of the people here are recommending to just stay on the GUE stream and do C2 for OC, so I think I'm going to do that if the training quality is really that much higher than other agencies. In still going to transition to CCR for my ocean dives because I've maxed out...

Ok, this was the response I needed to hear. I'm always interested in opinions from people who have been trained through multiple agencies and have taken various pathways. Way too often I encounter GUE Kool aid drinkers and it gets hard to figure out whether they're speaking reality, or if...

I see you're located pretty close to cave country so that probably skews your perspective a bit. I need to be clear that I am not interested in getting a CCR "just because". I live in a location where I can be shore diving in 100s of metres of water with only a 30 minute drive to the dive site...

Alright, so about me... Pretty much all my training has been through the GUE curriculum (Tech 2, Cave 1, DPV1). I'm at the point now though where I am looking to transition both to Full Cave as well as move onto a CCR. The thing is I have very little interest in diving a JJ CCR in GUE config...

Just name your price.

rjack, I realized that I may have met you already. At a UASBC intro course 2ish years ago in Victoria.

I recently started solo diving, after years of adherely strictly to a "team diving" philosophy. The other day I had a realization that the single biggest thing that made me feel uncomfortable solo diving before, was just the stigma attached to it, especially by certain groups of divers who are...

I haven't dove with him before, however a local dive buddy of mine took pretty much all his IANTD cave training from him, and had his T1 co-taught between him and Shockey, so he had lots of good reviews.

Thanks for the input everyone. I think after reading the comments, I'm pretty decided going with a Fathom and doing my training in Mexico at 3rd Dimension.

Yeah for the scrubber I would definitely get the 5.5lb for it, and I'll look into a spacer too. That's a good idea. I'm diving in 8-9 degree Celsius water, so 3hr dives just aren't happening for me. 2hr max. I'm not dead set on back mounting my Dil, but I would like it to be an option. The...

Right, what is deep... I want to be diving in the 50-60m+ ranges at the drop of a hat (yes I know not deep for some) and have the ability to go to the 75m range when the dive warrants it.

Hey scubaboard, Ive started saving for my first CCR, and have been doing the necessary research to figure out what unit I want. I'm mainly interested in backmount manual CCRs with backmounted counterlungs, that are fairly modular and can accept a wide variety of cylinders in case I want to dive...

Sounds like the exact same set up on my harness. The bungee was able to work its way in. After that dive I moved the positioning of the bungee an inch or two back so that wouldn't happen.

I always test all my gear before each splash. I do a full GUE Edge, and I never jump off a boat without inflating my wing before, because anyone who dives doubles steel tanks with stage bottles knows how negative you get with an empty wing. I really do believe it was the 1 in a million chance...

This was a boat dive onto a cold water wreck (130ish metres long) sitting in 36-40m of water, with parts of the super structure beginning around 18m, and the first decks at 24-30m. Equipment being used was double steel 100's (12l) on my back with an AL80 (11l) bottom stage, all with EAN32. There...

I was looking for the Sierra battery. A person near me is selling an old Sierra body with a dead battery, and I'm doing a cost comparison between getting one of the Li-on replacements you are bringing in, or purchasing the PTB Module and batteries for a retrofit. Where abouts in Canada are you...

I know this is an old post but did you ever end up getting more of these batteries into Canada?

Where are you located in WA? Can you post pictures as well? I'm interested.

I know this is a longshot, but seeing as there are no replies to this post, do you still have these scooters?
