Yeah right. And decided to do that by destroying a quite an expensive asset? And also losing any leverage they might have over Germany and other EU countries.

I'm not sure if you are saying that Russians looked for a way out of the contract?

I'm still waiting to hear how and why it's the Russians that did it.

And I see a trust me dive as a dive where I know no better than to just blindly follow wherever my dive lead takes me, not knowing the risks or how to mitigate them. I don't see it as a dive outside of my comfort zone/skills/experience, since I don't even know I'm out of my comfort zone. If I...

Says the man with 31k reaction score?

Tracy spotted it. Those blue Apeks kits had seat failures, so best to either sell them in pieces without HP seat or discard entirely.

How the F you came to conclusion you have more knowledge and facts to share just because you sent some money? I was red before you even came here, so technically I kept it running for you to able to join in the first place, so now you take the load. (For the record, this is meant as pure diss to...

This rant is exactly in line with all of his/hers/its? other posts regarding reading comprehension

You're prime example that just because someone pays to SB does not translate into being readworthy. Although I do agree with your assessment on tursiops' worth to this forum.

I promise I won't tell if you share it with me. Pinky swear!

My cert allows me to demonstrate and teach you OW skills, but does not allow me to issue you a cert. So, I can show you all the skills required for OW and train you to pass the exam. Please explain to me how you would be safer with an instructor than with me? If your assumption is correct, who...

Not everyone lives in sue happy USA

I am part of a dive club that has around 80 active members, operating under CMAS. When I was new diver, I was taken to 30 meters on my 5th dive, by a diving instructor that examined my abilities during 4 previous dives as OW component of OW course. He found me capable of doing that dive. I did...

Correct me if I'm wrong, you are 24 years old , somewhat freshly minted instructor? If that is true, what I have gathered from other threads here that you responded to, you believe that instructor rating gives you some divine ability with all things diving? To keep it short, you're wrong. I can...

Did you even read OP? OP is a certified diver, asking to go deeper with a highly experienced buddy. He's not asking for 120 m CCR dive straight from the street.

It's "self imposed" limits. Personal responsibility has gone to such a low level that we are afraid of anything out of "ordinary".

No, it will be a bit loose, but you should be fine.

Why don't just crack them open and let fishies eat?

You want edge of your seal just above your Adam's apple. If it's below it or all the way up where your neck is starting to widen, it will roll up. When donning suit, set it as high as it can go and then pull down on seal base until it's where it needs to be.

I was talking about installing/removing suit rings. Instal is not that bad, just need to keep wrist seal tight to avoid it getting all bunched up, but removing it requires some serious power. QCS rings I can easily remove without any tools.
