    Diving in Norway - Gulen ?

    Hi there! Where you should go really depends on what kind of diving you want. That being said, you can't really go wrong with Gulen! Both marine life and the wrecks are fantastic, and they are on all kinds of depths:D If you decide to go for Gulen, you definitely want to fly to Bergen and...

    Can Deco-Sickness occur during the dive?

    He wouldn't experience any symptoms of dcs while at his max depth. Your original question was "can dcs occur during the dive?" The answer is yes. However, if it does, it would be while decompressing at relatively shallow depth towards the end of the dive. This is also much more likely to happen...

    Can Deco-Sickness occur during the dive?

    How to INCREASE the risk of decompression sickness, if that's your thing: Do the dives that you describe, only deeper and longer. Ignore mandatory decompression. Stay dehydrated and generally out of shape. Since the dives of yours are air dives; switch to a high helium mix on decompression...

    Bladder for drinking underwater?

    Now, that's a lot more like it:) It seems you have actually done some research before making your product, good on you! I still don't see the big difference between the turtle and the camel, but if I ever come across your product, I promise to have a good look at it, and if I believe it can have...

    Does defining "technical diving" serve any purpose?

    Hmmm... I am pretty sure what you are referring to here is the case for the surface intervals of the those tables... You must excuse me if I have gotten you wrong, but if all decompression/"no decompression" numbers were to be calculated based on respectively the 60 or 120 min compartment...

    Bladder for drinking underwater?

    I don't mean to be a d**k, but when promoting one's product as superior to others on an open forum, one should be expecting to answer questions. So my simple question is: How, is it easier/better? One thing that should suggest that having the buckle at the top is a better solution is the...

    Bladder for drinking underwater?

    From the picture you posted it looks like there is a loop on the top and a buckle on the lower band? The one I posted had a loop on the lower and a buckle on the top...?

    Bladder for drinking underwater?

    Hi TurtleBak! I have no doubts your product is a great one, but out of interest; How can something _possibly_ be less complicated to attach than the picture i posted? Best, Bjørn

    Hanging bottles underwater

    I find this practice counterproductive. The proper solution to low on gas scenarios and underweighting is learning gasmanagement and correct weighting, not treating the effects of failing to do so. Best, Bjørn

    BP/W Questions

    Hi OzGriffo! Unless you are one of those guys that needs extremely little weight/lead to be correctly weighted and you are planning to dive a drysuit, I would suggest you go with the ss plate. Aluminum is nice if you travel a lot, but in general it makes more sense to buy gear for where most of...

    Going deeper, safely

    Maybe I need to expand my horizon when it comes to deeper reefdiving:) Regardless of personal preferences, the point is like NWGratefuldiver says, that a more sound motive for a dive would be the actual dive rather than the depth.

    Going deeper, safely

    Let me tell you, it doesn't look like that in Norway! Anyway, I guess I could have added "typically" to my sentence:) I know there are exceptions, but on a general note......;) Beautifull pic's btw, and something that fits right into what I ment with "something specific" that I could...

    Going deeper, safely

    Hi all! New on this board, and English is not my native language, so please bare with me:) First of all, what are your motives for "going deeper"? It allways scares me a little when divers states that without any other reason than going deeper than they have been before. When someone ask me...
