    Question Anyone used Proteushop.com

    I have been in the shop in France. For fills and bought something. And not only 1 time, a couple of times. So there is a real shop behind it. The owner dives himself too, but is most times a dry caver. But if you are worried, there is a real shop behind this webshop.

    Review Diving the Avelo System

    My pony's for solodiving are ali80's as I don't have others. On Curacao it was a 12liter ali. No small stuff, also because I can do longer dives and turn the 2 cylinders more or less into a twinset. My single tank wing has enough lift capacity to hold this. So if you have the chance to try a an...

    Review Diving the Avelo System

    Wow, what a prices for something to try out and later try to sell. We have sometimes here try out dives for drysuit. Costs nothing and if you haven't ever dived a drysuit, there is an instructor available. 150 dollar for only 1 dive, that is probably more than 2 dollar per minute as I guess...

    Dive Buddies Wanted: Cyprus

    If I come I can take most of the gear with me, but no weights and tanks of course. Are the shore dives good? Or better boatdives?

    Trimix Sac Rate - slightly higher?

    With drills it is quite normall that the sac/rmv is a little bit higher. I talk about sac/rmv as a lot of people talk about sac in liters per minute, but officially this is the rmv.

    JJCCR or AP Inspiration

    True, you can also do Ginnie/Devis on oc, but sometimes a ccr makes things easier. And it is very nice to dive the Peackock tunnels in 4 hours on ccr without dragging a lot of bo because you are never far from an exit. But you also must know that a ccr can be a very #$%#$^#$^machine. I...

    JJCCR or AP Inspiration

    The answer is quite simple: You can do cave diving with both units, no problem. They are backmounted, so not for very tight restrictions. But both will do the job and both will work more or less the same. The difference is just the brand. So you drive a Mercedes or a Vauxhall. Both will bring...

    Trimix Sac Rate - slightly higher?

    I think this is because you was nervous for your first trimixdives. I have never mentioned a higher RMV/SAC. A lot of people have a little bit higher consumption when something is new. So it is not strange. Don't worry too much, relax and enjoy your diving.

    Dive Buddies Wanted: Cyprus

    Cyprus is still on my list, also because of the 'strange' things of the country like the Turkey part. So if I want to visit Cyprus for about 1 week, can you advice me? Shore dives are also ok. But of course the Zenobia must be done. I also read about the marathon in march, and they don't have a...

    OM-1, Sea&Sea YS D3 DUO strobes and Turtle flash trigger

    You can use the EM5, don't worry, I was in the middle and my camera is for sure not bad. I don't see the difference between the results with the em5 or the em1. But the em1 is a little bit faster, I can use some more lenses, has more focuspoints for macro. So it makes it a little bit easier. I...

    OM-1, Sea&Sea YS D3 DUO strobes and Turtle flash trigger

    I have 2 loose leds, so don't need to break. But even then it was hard to stick it into the housing.

    OM-1, Sea&Sea YS D3 DUO strobes and Turtle flash trigger

    I own the Turtle trigger as my EM1 mk2 blows up the original flashes very fast (this has to do with the charging circuit). So I had no choice to go to the turtle trigger. The Nauticam won't fit in an isotta housing they said to me. And then the problems started, first it did not fit, they sent...

    Which of the following is your preference for side mount, and why?

    Then you do the course with a bad instructor for you. A good instructor knows how to teach you with other stuff they don't have and maybe let you use their stuff to feel difference. What you describe here is a thing you see a lot in sidemount diving and also in rebreather diving: what is the...

    first rebreather: AP inspiration EVP to buy or not to buy?

    I own an Inspiration and I am Inspiration instructor as well. I also own a sidekick and have for 9 different ccr brands a user level. I have dived my Inspiration up to 135m depth, done dives of 6 hours, so it works for me. I prefer on some narrow caves the sidekick, but the WOB is bad if you...

    Seeking Fastest Path to Normoxic Trimix Certification (70m) – Experienced Diver, Traveling to Florida

    ccr training is unit specific, so if you do for example the mod1 on an Inspiration, and you move on to normoxic plus trimix, you have to do that course on an Inspiration. If you buy a Triton, then you have to do a crossover and show the skills for the normoxic course again. It is not a complete...

    Seeking Fastest Path to Normoxic Trimix Certification (70m) – Experienced Diver, Traveling to Florida

    If that is equivalent to an adv. nitrox, then only a normoxic trimix plus to 75m is needed. If you don't want to use the helium often, then oc is the best way to go. Cheapest, easiest, fastest. If he wants to go to ccr, then it starts with the costs of a ccr, second hand around 4000 euro, new...

    Seeking Fastest Path to Normoxic Trimix Certification (70m) – Experienced Diver, Traveling to Florida

    That is the same as iantd has, called normoxic plus (and since a week the depth is 75m). The normoxic plus was 70m. But with TDI you have advanced nitrox and decoprocedures, sold as 2 courses, most times in conjunction of each other, but you get 2 cards. This means 3 courses. I don't know if...

    Seeking Fastest Path to Normoxic Trimix Certification (70m) – Experienced Diver, Traveling to Florida

    Do you reed urgency? I don't. This diver already has a cmas 3* cert, this means 60m on air. He now wants to do it a little bit more according to modern standards. But I don't read rushing. I did all my techcourses in 6 months (or 6.5), this was from advanced rec. trimix to full cave to full...

    Seeking Fastest Path to Normoxic Trimix Certification (70m) – Experienced Diver, Traveling to Florida

    It will be an advanced nitrox and then normoxic trimix plus course with iantd. So 2 courses, no more are needed. And there is no need to wait between the courses according to standards. So you can finish 1 and start the next one directly. If you want the easiest and cheapest way, don't do...
