Good right up's everyone. All fair and accurate records of our funnies course. The course was a lot of work but its paying off now. Felling way better in the water. Thanks Guy, Koos, Jo, Liz, Alex, Dave and Dennis for the excellent instruction and Lynne, Dale, Ryan, Jim, Rick for being my dive...

It could also be your body language but it is probably a combination of a lot of things.

I thought that a chat forum like this was the modern form of a soap box

One major con is that if you don't rout it correctly and don't check it's routing befor every dive it can get you in a real cluster when you are really in a out of air situation. Ian

50 degree water. I can't wate untill it's that warm where I am I was thinking about getting a argon set up. exelant thread Ian

I dive with the 7 foot hose because I have had to shared air and the extra length makes it a lot easer. By the way i am not a tec diver and have only dived a single tank. It dose take some time to get used to and you should do some drills every so often but that is the same with any new gear. Ian

I am not asking about a balanced rig I have read all about that. There is tones of articles on balanced rigs and how to get a balanced rig witch i have :) what I am trying to find about is ditichable lead. Thanks ian

I have been reading about GUE and the DIR configuration and I haven't found much on ditchable weight. Do you have ditchable weight when you are do a open water dive within recerational dive table limits with a single tank and whats your reasoning if you do or don't? Thanks Ian

I would go with Rock boots: 1 it is alot easer to fix or replace a boot then anything that is attached to your dry suit. 2 most of the people that I know who dive a DUI with turbo soals wouldn't get them in there next DUI drysuit but where I dive we do a lot of shore entrys of which we have to...

for warm water freediving fins are the best. they take some getting use to and gave me cramps the first time i used them but now i won't dive with out them in warm water

I gust read all 785 posts ( over a cupple days ) and I have been converted. When I go to doubles, I will SM them. Have you ever heard of anyone SMing al40 or Faber LP45. Thanks ian

Hahahahaha BINGO My point exactly Ian

Ok, what would you consider to be the established term or terms to what we are trying to avoide by oxygen servicing our tank and reg

Dose it really matter what word we use ( flash over, burn, oxidizer) in the context of this thread, it all describes what we are trying to avoid by oxygen cleaning our tank and reg. :) Ian

Cool video.

Danvolker that makes a lot of sence. Well in the the mean time i think I am going to have to look into this micro bubble attachment. That's what I thought would be the case, it's more of a experience issue. Slowly work your way up to the faster current.

Back to the the topic before this turns in to something about who should be allowed to use a rebreather. I think it's is the visual aspect of the bubbles that plays the biggest part in scaring fish off. Ian

Gill envy "Watching Pelagic freed on Swarms of fish with hours of gas to spare " sounds like you found heaven. Thanks for the informative post Danvolker I guess what I was saying is it the visual aspect of the bubbles or is it the sound that that is made by the bubbles that scare the fish...

Danvolker that sound like a good idea but isn't it the bubbles that also scare the fish away or do you think it's mostly the sound. Ian

I live in British Columbia and dive a lot 3 to 4 times a week but I have hit my limit. Its the cold after 40 min I still have half a tank but I am freezing. So I think I am going to have to invest in a heated undergarment. All i could find was the golem Q-Vest and the UTD Expedition Drysuit...
