A couple of months ago we were diving with a lot of gue divers. Most of the divers were tech 1 oc divers. They were using a set of doubles with ean32, 21/35 stage and oxygen stage. I was in a team of gue ccr divers. We had a dpv and a oxygen stage. After visiting 2 wrecks at 35 meter the oc...

What is different between tech 1 and fundamentals? In tech 1 the lecture did have a mg table and we did use that table for planning our dives. But I agree with you. I don’t like the mg table in ccr1. If you are using oxygen instead of ean50 as decogas you should have more backgas then the...

My switch of my bigblue vl9000p did fail. The light did flooded. Some lights are more reliable then other lights.

20/85

Bigblue is crap, I would never use it as primary light in a cave. I would never buy bigblue again. I did use 2 bigblue vl9000Plights for video. After 28 months one of them flooded. The switch/button was leaking. I think it’s just a single o-ring button. My halcyon canister light, ikelite...

Small o-ring at din connector problem.

This video is after diving last Saturday, leaking at ap1478 diaphragm. A few weeks before a buddy had the same failure. When I do have problems at my Apeks first stages it's at ap1478 diaphragm or the small o-ring at the din connector.

Depends on the dive and equipment I’m using. OC (sidemount) group 1 CCR, more demanding dives group 2 I can leave my oc equipment in my car after diving in freshwater. I would never leave my ccr in my car for one week after diving.

Last Saturday we were diving 2 wrecks in Oostvoorne.

You’re wrong, long time ago I worked at lab for gasses. We had equipment for rolling tanks.

Eastern Scheldt, fun/experience dive, max depth 41 meter, 100 minutes dive time.

Global underwater explorers is located in the us. Rec 3 is 15 minutes deco and not tech. ;-)You don’t even need tech skills for 15 minutes of deco... But I cannot remember when I did my last backgas deco dive. I always bring decogas for a deco dive. With a decogas I can have a longer bottomtime.

Burning marks on the skin and/or burning marks in heating products of Santi. I don’t know, last summer I did a 3,5 hour dive, max depth >50 meter. I didn’t turn off my heating at the end of the dive at the surface.The result was small burning marks on my skin. Maybe it was my own fault I don’t...

At this moment there are a lot of issues with Santi heated products. I would not buy them now. Two buddies had to turn of the heating during a dive because something went wrong. They all did use sant heated products. One of the buddies told me and the other buddy I saw it after the dive with...

I tried to do the test. I did create a vacuum and my adv button was inside. Sensor values: 14.8 14.1 14.7 I did slightly open my dsv until the adv button was in top position. sensor values: 14.9 14.2 14.9 Normal vacuum test when checking adv button is good enough for me, this extra test...

This is just my own situation: Preparing my rebreather taks 30-45 minutes. Cleaning and removing parts takes me 30 minutes. When I was diving oc nitrox or air I could fill at the local shop in my own town or I could fill near my work. I could wait while filling. Sometimes my set of doubles did...

In the past I did a lot of training dives in lakes. I was diving in lakes at least once a week. After CCR training I sold my oc equipment. I wanted to do 100 hours on my rebreather in a year. That wouldn’t be possible if I would dive oc + cc. I decided to do dive at least one Saturday/Sunday...

Finally ice diving!

Things can happen very fast. Long time ago a buddy was having problems with his inflator.This was at the surface before we did start the dive. His inflator was not stuck but it was auto inflating his wing. It was not possible anymore to disconnect. There was ice at the connector. He had to...

Het is afwachten waar er ijs op het water komt. Ik ga het liefst ergens duiken waar het zicht goed is en waar genoeg objecten liggen om een lijn aan vast te knopen. Daarnaast wil ik dat het ondiep is of blijf ik in een ondiep gedeelte. Ik zal met reel en lijn duiken zoals ik ook in een grot...
