No problem herman, Here in the UK we do have some brands that are produced in the EU that have different specs than USA. Theres been some issues with the AQUALUNG and OCEANIC being incompatible. So far as they are out of range on the Inter stage. Theres a couple of others, ill check...

You contradicted yourself there! I never said anything about BRANDS! There IS a need to match the first and second stage! You said it above. AS LONG AS THE SECOND STAGE IS TUNED TO WHATEVER THE FIRST STAGE IS Therefore they have to match. Secondly, in modern regs there are PLENTY of...

Errr excuse me both of you are wrong!! the instructor said on three occasions for everyone to STOP and take a breath! So is the instructor at fault? DONT make claims about people YOU DONT KNOW. its rude. did they? NO therefore IDIOTS! For some to claim they come from GAS COMPANIES and Nuclear...

REGULATORS ARE REGULATORS ARE REGULATORS. every one that is sold for use for SCUBA DIVING has to pass certain regulations on their ability to provide air in an AVERAGE state. The differences are as follows 1: construction material. Plastic, Polcarb, Carbon Fibre, Stainless, titanium. the list...

This is my View on this. The turn half/quarter back is to ensure that the valve doesn't get stuck in the OPEN position. This is absolute rubbish! An open valve that's stuck is not an issue at all. You wait till the cylinder is emptied and then have the valve repaired/replaced. What IS...

bit of a late reply i know, but here goes! Dont feel pressured or anxious about your fears. Firstly, we are MAMMALS, and we dont like water on the face and inability to take a standard breath. Secondly, that is bad enough for some at a depth no deeper than a standard swimming pool, when taken...

Mike, As a DIVE MASTER trainee, i carry all the equipment from each dive for the Instructors, and sometimes the students. I NEVER get tips, and wouldn't expect them. What IS nice though, is a letter later on addressed to me saying that they enjoyed their time and diving with me and would...

DONT WORRY!!!! there is plenty of time for you to practice and perfect the RDP tables (even though they are now becoming the ERDPml) when you have got your cert!! Youll do fine! I would wish you luck but i am SURE you dont need it!

I read through these posts and i managed to get 2 wrong on the Physics. Simply because i got confused on whether to divide or multiply by 1.03! It also doesn't help when you have 5 idiots in the class who want to argue if 0.97 is the same as 1.03! FFS i was getting really annoyed at them...

Well what a serious let down! First time to the NEC and i wont be going back!! Lots of stands selling absolute rubbish like large bean bags to sit on, and massage systems! WHAT THE ******? i came to a DIVE show not a damn better house product show!! AND then theres the cost of food...

Im a bit of a latecomer to this thread. Heres my take: A CAR OR TRUCK, you can have all the gucci kit you need but if you have no way of getting the crap to the dive site, then whats the point?? Oh other than that, decent regulators!

Is there any reason for this thread now?? Can the moderators not delete it? Kinda stupid now!

TUT!! i learned to be a sex god from watching porn! or did i imagine that in a dream???

On PADI STANDARDS, a deep dive is anything below 18Meters (metric) The DEEP dive cert for padi allows you to 40M (132 feet) If you take the course, you should have been taken to as close to 40m as possible, and done a few tests to show you about Narcosis and such like. I would not pass...

There seems to be some slagging going on here, and mostly aimed between the Organization and the Divemaster/trainee themselves. STOP IT!:no::no::no: argue all you like about the standards, teaching methods and practices and instructor abilities to teach properly, BUT what do you think...

I dive in a few places, Stoney cove, and a few sea dives. (cornwall, plymouth, portsmouth, Farne) Dostill and wraysbury as well. Yes i learned to dive with a drysuit here in the uk, and i only use one for winter dives when the water temp drops below 10 degrees. Remember that the surface to 6m...

Firstly, Congratulations on passing your OPEN WATER. And it takes a lot of thought to want to go through to PRO level in diving. Id like to say that some of the ESSENCE of whats said here has some correctness. Really, you shouldnt start your DIVEMASTER course until you are VERY competent and...

Hello mate! Im up by STONEY COVE, but come down to Portsmouth with Fathom and Blues a lot. My other half is a Diver, but she is now pregnant with our first child, so i have to beg about for buddies to dive with. I have spare tanks and weights if you have regs, suit and the small stuff! Ive...

Evening!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :balloons: We too are having our first baby!! Its hell on my other half as she cant dive now for a while, and i think she is getting pissed at being surface support!!!!!
