my interpretation:
Read as: all divers must show proof of certification with an agency that does require such standards (most actually do and 10 hours is a bare minimum actually). any combination of 10 hours is possible between theory/pool/open water according to this 'legislation.' maybe...
Not going to ad nauseum.
Here's something else you can maybe take away. A final redundancy if your hose does blow is to shut down your air, get on your buddy's AAS. When your bud's tank is drained, swop regs to your tank (which hopefully has some left). But this too takes training in a...
Sorry sharky! I did not hold my breath out at Malpelo & Galapagos and ended up with relatively good shots (I was on OC) vs. the Mk6 guys. I find that long steady rythmic breathing (1 in 1 out >15m else 2 in 2 out) works better around predators in most cases. Works great in Asia too! Perhaps...
for those who celebrate -
Wishing you a Joyous, Healthy & Prosperous Lunar New Year!!!
恭喜发财!!
for those who don't, its a great holiday anyways! enjoy!
As Devon said it was. Just like how back plates / floats came into the rec world. Seepage from the dark side ...... :D
And another equipment / course marketing opportunity for the agencies to sell certs / books / DVDs. And of course income for the instructors.
Steve, the semantic 'myth' is propagated by the agencies. I do believe PADI is being asked to relook the word 'Advanced' - AID is the most likely replacement?
That said, PADI is probably one of the greatest marketing organisations in the recreational dive industry to date. Issue could be is...
SP Nova Gorillas: more control for helicoptering and reverse swimming. positive bouyancy of these fins helps newer divers quite a bit with keep out of siltout conditions in the early days.
Due to its overall length, far more powerful for small movement propulsion (small degree of kick with...
1. friendly race between a new instructor and a seasoned dog on a crowded dive boat. boat is tied up to the buoy, both instructors get racing to gear up, the noob jumps in and declares a WIN! after 10 seconds .... the winner asks for booties and fins.
2. instructor stands on dive platform at...
Ima curious as to what transpired just prior to your signing up for this course at the facility you were at. Were you given options? Did you make any other or particular requests in relation to your course?
Looks like the case in Singapore Vladimir. Attributable accidents & fatalities mostly belong to the larger operations which is statistically default since they host the larger number of divers as well. But all are going to be made to 'pay' for regulation.
CamC: I know of 'legal' dive...
Dear Qnape,
might this leave instructors will little to no inspiration to pass the knowledge onto DMs who will remove the need for instructors from an economic perspective? And now that this bit of a gem is out in the open here on the internet what incentive is there for a prospective diver to...
