Three weeks ago I was on an all-time high in life. I completed an awesome week of deep technical diving and completed my Advanced Trimix class. I dive for work, dive for fun and dive for vacation - my life has been all about diving for nearly the last ten years. I'm the kind of diver that...

It's a K14-85 Miami Beach built MAKO compressor with the original Bauer block. Serial # 1/530.

Hi people. I have THE ORIGINAL Miami Beach Bauer/Mako air compressor (literally number 1 in the series) that I was going to have the end stage rebuilt on. In the meantime I picked up a Mariner and am not needing a third compressor. I would be willing to sell it cheap because I hate to see an...

Not sure how that fits in to this conversation, but for what it's worth you are correct. <p.s. it's Chatterton>

I definitely DO NOT want to go into politics here (or anywhere for that matter) but I have to be realistic. If the T word gets into office there may be a lot of parts of the world that are not as friendly toward the U.S. If Muslims are told they are not welcome in the U.S. I doubt they're...

Ireland and Iceland are definitely on the life docket. Know any Charter Boats out there?

" Those are definitely considerations. I find it ironic (as most things in life are) that once you get full Trimix and get the skills to do the deeper wrecks you run into complications because so many have gone CCR. I am not ready (that's an entirely different conversation) to trust a...

The amazing thing about that is that the Maldives were rated the #1 ISIS recruitment area in the world.

Thanks for the idea! I talked to a friend of mine who has dual citizenship and he is working to hook me up with the right people over there. I will check out Red Sea Explorers. Definitely food for thought. thank You!

That's a fantastic wreck but we're looking for a bit deeper..

Any news on the wreck hunt?

See previous quote on John's Smart-asseddry

It varies greatly on how awesome said trip would be as to how much I'm willing to spend. If it's a life changer I might be willing to go into debt. No wife, no kids, no rebreather- pure wreck diving addiction....

I do train in the environment I'm going to be diving in. Other than the deco math and additional tank switches, the physical dive skills for Advanced trimix are exactly the same as they are for Trimix. Every time I do deco and switch tanks I am doing those skills, and I do them both in wetsuits...

Philippines is yet another amazing dive area I'm apt to avoid due to the current political climate :(

While I'd LOVE to do some Pacific Island wreck hunting, I'm afraid we'll have to at least know where the wreck is and its depth or the entire trip could be sidescanning topside. Japan sounds interesting of course, but 280 meters is more appropriate for a ROV class than advanced trimix. I do...

We are trimix certified. This is for the advanced cert and will be the fifth technical class I've taken with John. We've done classes on the Great Lakes wrecks where I live and on the Florida wrecks where he lives. As it is the last OC class my dive buddy and I can take I thought it might be...

I joyfully spend the grand majority of my dives on the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. 15 minutes from the Port of Milwaukee I'm out diving Lake Michigan all spring, summer and fall and get to visit the astoundingly intact 1800's sailing ships on Huron and Superior almost every year. That's why...

For a class or otherwise, this one's got my attention. Checking it out. Thanks!
