Yesterday I (we) dove Sweden's second largest lake, the 'Vättern'. A warm but slightly rainy day and good company. So far so good, we were about to go diving witch is always great right? You know the feeling when you'r about to try something new. A new divesite is always speciall. Everything...

Ask your instructor (mentor :) ) to print the 'Renovating Haldane' and 'RDP History Development' pdf from the PADI pro site. My 2.

I soak my things in a freshwater and soap mixture to get rid of saltchrystals after each day of diving, and I then hang it up in the boilerroom and turn on the 'de-moister' or whatever it's called in english, anyhow it's a machine that draws the moist out of the air and likewise the equipment...

Yeah, I dont remember if there where monthly schemes or weekly but yes you have to know it. You only dive every 6th hours when the current turns, otherwise it'll be too strong and push you down to depths Nuno Gomez wouldnt even dream about. Needless to say, all dives are drift-dives =)...

Diving under a 90m long cargo ship in search for dents in the hull. It was like diving in a cup of coffee, first 4 inches was brown then it was pitch black and all visual orientation that could be made was the red hull above your head and the bubbles from your exhales going to either side of...

Saltstraumen in northern Norway! Beeing the worlds strongest maelstrom it has the most oxygen-rich water on the planet, witch means an insane amount of spiecies. Worlds top cold water dive if you ask me.

I really fear the bow of wrecks in bad vis. I have no clue of why but so it is. Just picturing searching for a wreck along the bottom in bad vis makes me shiver! I know it sounds wierd but nothing scares me more, I mean the rest I can still do something about even if it's currents, equipment or...

I too own a Suunto comp. The depth-sensor went nuts for me aswell. About 12 hours in about 40 degrees C water and some dish-soap cured my problem. I dont know if you'r problem is the same, I assume some salt-crystal made mine go nuts. Otherwise Suunto has been great when i've encountered...

Been diving in Saltstraumen since wednesday, extraordinary beatiful! Lots of colors, lots of life, deep as hell and the world strongest maelstrom! In about an hour we're going to do our last dive before flying home tomorrow. Laters!

Rinse the depth-sensor in hot water, probably just salt disturbing them.

I totally love Suunto's products! It gets as conservative as you want it to be, less or more. I believe all Suunto computers have a personal conservatism setting, I thinks it's 4 stages, either 0, 1, 2 or 3. A little about the Suunto RGB model.

Just as *dave* wrote, you will (god forbid that it happends) notice if you get bent. As you said, a no-decompression dive is a no-decompression dive. But one should remember that there is an obligation on doing a safety stop at 5 meters for 3 minutes if the dive is deeper of equal to 30...

Staffing on ow dives one and two in the local spot...0 degrees with slush-ice in the surface and 2 degrees on 6m depth...Cold...Cold Sweden.

I'll tell you about some great spots, even come with ya if i've got the time :) Hmm, I might even learn you Americans a thing or two about drinking aswell :D

What I know there's no literatuer book that covers the techniques for finning or other things, unless it's covered in any IANTD, NAUI, GUE or other technical diving manuall. The things I know about finning, heli-turns and buoyancy is thought to me by my 'mentor'

Ice diving is awesome! Superior vis, no currents and an awesome cloudshaped ice-sealing (if done in a lake or mine-area) But ice diving as any other diving activity should be done with great responsibility. One line-commander per divepair or one line-commander and only one divepair in the...

There's so many things and emotions that contributes to me enjoying diving that words just isnt enough. But to make it short, the weightlessness, colors and that I have the priveledge to see and experience these things that many has never or will never experience. And as a recent ow...

Went diving in 'Ablahamn' in Kullaberg, Sweden yesterday. Max depth was 17.5m and total time 41 minutes. Was guiding one of my newly certified friends, really nice dive with lobsters and other large critters, too bad my friend consumed a little bit too much air and we didnt make it to 60...

Great! I've taken plenty of courses, in school, in icehockey, through work and diving but when I had completet the Rescue Diver course I felt really great about myself somehow. I felt like 'damn, this was a really really great course' and got a few mindbeakers along the way. Good luck...

Jackson Reef, Straits of Tiran, Egypt. Extreme along-reef current and I had enough luck to be pulled along with a downgoing current wich led to a little too fast ascend for a couple of meters back to my buddies (we were diving in a 3 pair and I was the furthest away from the reef wall)...
