practice... a good thing to do is practice shooting bags at a set depth - keep the variance in depth as tight as you can get it (if you start at 15ffw ..stay there)... Go slow and it will become second nature. Maintaining a set depth is really all about having a stable platform to work...

I run my petrel but dive the plan... why not.. usually the petrel clears me of deco a minute or 2 before the plan does.

we have a good following in the local area.. (Raleigh NC) and are doing classes about once or twice per year. all instructors are with other agencies (myself included) but it really dosen't matter, those of us whom have trained with GUE teach with a GUE mindset and strive to set the students up...

We just had 2 Fundamentals classes in raleigh, one split weekend (5 day) and one 4 day traditional. Both yielded better divers and a high level of passes at both levels (including myself as i was interning the split weekend class). I think the flexibility is good for reaching more students and...

I buy Halcyon and scuba pro after moving through a bunch of other stuff. Basically because the service and quality are excellent. I had a problem with a backup light, I gave it to a friend who was headed down to FL, who then gave it to someone working at extremes exposure, it made it over to...

Looks like we have a motley crew coming down from NC.. And Maybe Texas as well... My focus is going to be on C1 dives with a lot of line work which i need to do before signing up for C2. work stepped in the way of my normal trips to nFL, but now is leveling out. Be glad too - should be at the...

I'm not the scuba police.... you need to answer that question for yourself :)

... both of mine (SPG and Long hose) are tied right behind the swag... Tight. My bands are at the crest of the tanks.. and my plate is standard. See you guys in High Springs in 2 weeks :)

True.. which is why both of my sets of seconds are unbalanced now. But one should also service their regs which should catch the wear problem, hopefully. That is taking a leap, i know.

Halo/Spro G250 or Apeks xtx200 Primary, Aura or R195 scubapro. The low spec scubapro regs work great as second- almost never have to mess with them even in 42 degree water. A high spec reg tuned down is fine, i did this for a while as well with a second xtx200) but moved it to my dedicated...

In rebreather cost terms, thats not too bad.. Comes with the petrel Electronic package as well i assume. T2 is still the entry point i see.. makes sense given the nature of the RB.

A drysuit is NOT required for a Fundies TECH pass. btw.. recommended ...sure, depending on where your at in the world, but not required.

I'm in the Same boat as litehedded - I can't even count the number of time EE, Doug, Kyle, and the whole crew there has gone above and beyond for me and anyone else i've sent in there. And for that matter Halcyon as well!! Awesome place and people all around

Bands at the crown of the tanks my friend, :)

who do you dive with.. there is a GUE crew in TX.. The reason i am asking is normally i find that its an ass over tea kettle thing... what i mean by that is that its you feel that when your in proper trim your going to go head first down and are uncounciously moving your legs out to balance...

tbone - i have heard nada on side mount other than some sr instructor tests (they use it when needed, usually 10k back in the cave), and no test classes after a small trial. i'm open to it but we shall see. I need to do a SM course since some of my students are diving that way and frankly i...

No pope of DIR..anymore anyway.. but if anyone "owns" it.. its the wkpp.. which is small, inclusive and modernizing as needs dictate. If you like the style of diving (team, safety, planning, etc...) then i'd probably start diving with GUE folks and then decide from there. it's a mind set...

on my second meridian - and a button came out of this one too.. off to service and then it'll be for sale (they replace the whole thing)

AL doubles or steel? I.e which tanks for doubles. A simple solution (with double AL's is an AL backplate and add a halcyon soft v weight to adjust as needed between the wetsuit thicknesses. The soft v can carry upto 14 lbs with 7.25" tanks (use soft weights to get this much in there) For...
