Thanks, seems like quite an undertaking! Guess it is better to learn the family that sport diving is not about depth, but about seeing beautifull stuff in the shallow.

so bottomline, it would be at least 5-6 hours back up, so total of almost 9 hours under water?

sorry for the many questions. But how should I read above info? number1: number2 number3' Code number1: not a clue number2: number of minutes of ... number3: number of seconds of ... Code: gas mixture?

OK, guess that both choices depend on balancing advantages and drawbacks. What would you chose? KR Kristof

Hi Yesterday at the family table, the conversation turned to scuba diving, since the boyfriend of my wifes cousin occasionally dives as well. Soon the craziest questions popped up from non divers. And on one question, I had absolutely no clue what to answer. But I’m curious for the answer...

They made an attempt to recover the body .... causing the death of another diver ... https://www.hln.be/nieuws/binnenland/-duiker-overleden-tijdens-zoektocht-naar-marc-sluszny~ad4ef400/ It would have been a better decision not to risk any lives to recover the body. I guess they wanted to...

My story about the dealextreme SSC P7 version: Last winter, I started reading about it, and saw that many people praised this light? As I needed another lamp, I made the step, as it was only about $81. As I saw that many people were on the waiting-list in December, I ordered it right away...

They fill the "chambers" with compressed air to keep the water out. If you stand there, you can talk with a slightly higher voice :cool2:

which section to look for?

Anyone who took the plunge lately? How is the temperature in the Oosterschelde/Grevelingen? I'm a wetsuit diver, but the weather doesn't seem to be helping this year?

I use my regulator, computer, mask and fins overthere. The scubatanks have an international valve. There is an adaptor in it, and they don't want to remove it. It is a nice concept. First 5 to 10 minutes snorkeling. Great to test if you can freedive to -10 m. Then a bit fooling around...

Hi This might help you: a short explanation on regulators with some drawings

- test it on air-tightness - test if your weights remain in the good position if you shake it a bit - and test if all the airdumps are working. Especially the one on your inflator-hose. I know somebody that went diving with a new jacket, and the string the inflatorhose was too long => her...

seems to be all great material you picked out. I would go for an otcopus iso the air source 3

go for a led lenser D14 backup torch untill you saved a little more ... you easilly need $700 for a decent torch

a long question that makes it even unclear to me :) Maybe a short summary: regulators YOKE (or international) fittings on regulators are most common, but they are not safe enough to cope with the forces that are introduced by the high 300 bar pressure. DIN fittings can be made...

stay away from gear that is discontinued, because it will be harder to let it service. With discontinued, I mean then stop of production of the renewable parts. E.g. for a BC, you can buy an old model, but all the critical parts (dumpvalves, inflator, weight-pockets, ...) can be the same on...

Hi Here you can find some recommandations on selecting the thickness for wetsuits. For 58F, I would suggest 7mm with at least a skinsuit below it. When I select it for myself, I take a double 7mm on the chest

some people do it because it looks cool ... :rofl3:

The zipper of most wet-suits ends at the neck, so you won't be able to glue a neckseal there
