I'm returning back to Kuwait next month and I'm looking for a dive buddy. I will be doing some diving in Thailand as well. If your interested let me know. I haven't had the opporunity to dive the Gulf yet.

Yes, I was refering to the muscle building NO2. I was thinking that some divers smoke which the use of tobacco products causes the blood vessels to constrict and there doesn't seem to be too many problems with that now, NO2 will actually or "should" increase blood flow. Would that maybe help...

Can supplements such as NO2 affect diving? Will it make you more susceptible to DCS? I'll be waiting your responses.:popcorn:

I love crossfit anyway, the reason for my question is this, physical fitness is promoted in diving, especially when it comes to technical diving. Now if you are diving frequently, when do find the time to get fit? Well in my opinion you must workout prior to the dive and make sure that you...

I have a good question that may have been asked and answered already. If you are diving very often and need to excercise, is it better to excercise first then give yourself about an hour before you dive?

Where is the best place to rig the pony bottle. I have a 13cu

Hey, I have a question about regulators. I have two mares proton ice extreme V-32s, with the 1st stages being DIN, could they be good regs for now to use while I'm learning about tech/cave diving? I could always upgrade or change to a different one later, I was thinking about dive rite.

Ooh, forgot about that. Just rolling saves on energy because. Your legs will be able to stay level causing less drag. Well I'm going to hit the pool on wednesdays now. I'm in pretty good shape but at 40 technique counts.

Could anyone direct me on where to go to see a picture of a weight pouch for the HTS? There is only one dealer in my area and he needs to see a picture.

I wouldn't mind heading up there, the website is pretty good. My nieghbor is here looking over my shoulder and wanted me to ask, if you are out of shape and you know for a fact that you will not be able to swin 400yards in under 14minutes what would be the second best certifying agency to go...

If there are any DIR dives on the panhandle send me a PM, I'd appreciate it. I'm shooting for the December class at extreme exposure. I talked with Doug on the phone yesterday and that just confirmed my decision. Even my wife who as of right now is a non-diver asked me why it has taken me so...

I totally agree with you on that and I hope that I'm not misreading anyone's point, as I've heard it said earlier for what you get, it is worth the money. I do admit that I will be a little nervous when going through the class but I can offset that by practicing(diving:D). Would anyone know...

I like all the replies that I've been getting. So far I bought a BP/W (steel), a set of doubles w/ manifold and Halcyon wt. pockets. Now, I think about it I should have consulted with the forum before I bought anything. I do have a question about brands. Does it really matter? the BP/W I have...

I have a question about the BP/W. I have a "Tech" BC that one could place a back plate in and it has 50lbs of lift, will that do for DIR?

I just did a quick search for DIR courses in florida and found a dive shop called extreme exposure I read the standards that they had posted which echoed everything that GUE has set for standards, also there are some pretty good videos on youtube (of course everyone here knows that already). It...

Good luck as well. I just started a little over a month ago and I'm learning a lot. there are some things that I found that I needed to work on. I say do not read too far into the physics, I had to re-take it twice. We start working in the pool next week(fun times).

After reading the sticky I feel that everyone should eventually take the DIR fundametals course. Anything that will help you become a safer diver and dive with less stress has to be extremely beneficial for all types of diving.

Can someone direct me to a website that fully explains what DIR is and where you can get training?

I have seen dive table apps for the iphone, so I know that the program is out there. I was wondering if there was a dive table app for the blackberry phone?

Joe that is absolutely a great idea. I'm sure that there are more "C" students like more out there that need just a little more......how would you say "special coaching":D Clay you are awesome;)
