Well guys, i made the trip to Dutch Springs this past weekend (17th&18th) to take the GUE primer class with Bob Sherwood. I have to say it is one of the best decisions i have made in dive training choice. Day 1:Our goals of the day were to learn what it is to dive as a team,to descend and...

Preacher, I can assure you that i understand the situation fully, as i am the only one who knows all the participants and the facts about the dive. Now if there are those who choose not to or can not come to a opinion based on all the information that has been provided so be it. I have been...

Farside, Their will be other divers on this trip

halemanō, I completely get what your saying in your posts(that you think its ok for the diver to make this dive) If this is your opinion that is fine by me it is what i asked for in the op and you are entitled to it but it is not mine and never will be.I hope everyone takes the time like...

NW, I do not see this as a padi issue either and the thing that concerns me is this diver is taking such a risk at their current level of ability (not training).There is a big difference between what the plastic card in your wallet says and what you are capable of,I know i don't have to tell...

Jim, I have done all i can do with this diver ,they are going to do what they want and this diver has been told to wait by myself and to come out and dive with us for a while ,then go to the wreck later when they work out their troubles and perfects their buoyancy control.

The empire gem is the specific wreck on this dive and i am still thinking it is my credability in question here more so than with the original question.You did not answer my question as to why you are so excited about my o.p .AS far as what i posted feel free to do some research on the wreck.All...

sesna, Were you nervous before the dives as this leads to anxiety and then panic like when a person gets lost they are ok at first then progressivly reach panic when they realize the have walked for hours and are in the same place they first knew they were lost.I am glad you are ok and able to...

I am not dive recue trained but have extensive medical and rescue training which is relate directly to my work and the enviroment we work in.I would definately attempt to do all i could until i could no longer safely ,to save another persons life barring giving mine in return.Being sued or...

I will answer any specific questions you have outside of what i said i will not give out. and i thought i had been but i guess i need to do a better job:dork2:.please if you would like to know something when you post it ,use my screen name or my real name so i know the question is directed at me...

For the little space they take up and weight they add,well worth having, even if you never need them.I like to carry 3 one small titanium knife on the waste left of qr buckle and a z knife on the left and right shoulder straps.I even carry a pair of stainless surgical wire cutters in a pocket...

I did not mean to get a heated debate started about all the particulars of the dive plan as this is the internet and i in no way could possibly express the divers skill level in words or every single little detail about the dive .It would take every one who answered my post to see this divers...

Moderator or staff, I chose to contribute since sb and its members have been so great. What i would like to know how do i go red andhow do i recieved the benefits associated . Need a little help. thank you vince

Did you guys notice a bad taste or a bad smell when you prebreathed your reg in the initial setup check? does the shop have a current cert on the compressor at the fill station?Where is the intake for the compressor?Sorry this happened hope the rest of the weekend went well vince

Thalassamania , I was wondering is this a common practice to dive above a 1.4 And if it is how far do divers push the pp02 on a dive similiar to the dive i was reffering too in the op.Thanks for the info

halemanō, I will try to answer your questions 1. I,m sorry if i missed your question or ignored what you wanted to know 2.The diver is finishing his aow this weekend and passed his no dive nitrox class .The so called deep dive he will make on dive 4 or 5 of aow will be in 65 ffw max...

Mike what i was saying in the post is for the nitrox blend the diver was talking about using (32%)nitrox .The safe pp02 for any dive is 1.4 and 1.6 is only generally used in deco and for divers pushing tech and exploration limits but the risks of cnsot and pot becomes a very real factor. As the...

Just to let everyone know i talks to this diver again today as a last ditch effort to to change the divers mind, so in my heart i know i did all that i could have, so if something happens i didn't,just stand by and do anything to express my safety concerns. What i did was take the diver off to...
