If you have a trimix or cave cert from cmas, is that worldwide recognised? I have a friend with a normoxic trimix diver cert from CMAS and she cannot go to tdi advanced trimix course because they say that cmas is not recognised. If you go from tdi to cmas, then no problems. So a new rule of her...

What do you think about this: H2O Divers Dahab | DIVE WORLD RECORD I will follow this attempt of course, but just as interest about if they will pass or fail and maybe about their diveplan, safetydivers, etc. In my eyes it is too deep, too dangerous, so nothing for me to try, but I hope the...

There is a rule that you can ask GUE for scaling your cert into a GUE cert. I don't know the details, I only know that there must be a possibility. You must proof that you are good enough for example on fundamentals tech rating or tech1. Has anybody experiences with this? I mean with this...

I like technical diving, but sometimes it is soo difficult to find a buddy. The reason: the partners of buddy's don't want that their bf's go diving with a female diver, or man expect more than just diving. I don't know female technical divers in my surrounding. Do others have the same...

How deep do you dive as max. solo? and the max. decotime?

I really like doing real technical dives (rebreather, over 330ft depth, caves). Seems that woman not do such dives. Are there here any female technical divers?

I heard that Otter uses a plastic zip in suits too, that seems to be a BDM zip. No grease needed here. The tizip needs grease at the docking end. Is the BDM zip better than the tizip? And same durable? No leaks?

I have a Santi suit with a tizip. The zip is from beginning of march 2012. When I forget to use the silicone grease, I get wet, the suit totally floods. Other dives say we never grease and never problems. Sometimes I grease and get still wet. Then a next dive I am dry. The problem is, I don't...

How fast in dives or time have between starting technical diving and finishing full trimix did you take? I have done it quite fast in time, not in dives. I had over 500 dives when I finished my full trimix course. Still love technical diving. A good friend did it in the same dives, but is...

I have a Hollis backupllight. The led6. The first one I tried in shallow water, max 17m. It worked ok. Then I did a dive to 110m, it was taken as a backuplight, so not used. After the dive, it was not working anymore. No water in it, at surface it worked, but at 10m, it was not possible to put...

-Beginning of november 2010, I bought a divecomputer, the Uwatec 2g. -May 2011, it flooded where the battery is placed. I never replaced the battery. -I got a new one under garantuee (perfect). -december 2011, it was not flooded, but didn't work well (after a dive to 35 m it gave a desaturation...

I am curious what you should advise for a holiday combined with some TDI or IANTD courses: -2 weeks and do cavern, intro-to-cave and full cave course or -2 weeks and do advanced nitrox and normoxic trimix. What do you prefer? Diver has some experience with a twinset, has around 250 dives, and...

I'm looking for a wing which I can use with a D12 steel and a bigger twinset. I have halcyon evolve 40lbs and want a bigger one because sometimes I dive with a D12 and 4 stages. A D18 will be the future :) How long is the C60 from top to toe? Is it not too long/too big for a D12? I have only...

I'm looking for a wing which I can use with a D12 steel and a bigger twinset. I have halcyon evolve 40lbs and want a bigger one because sometimes I dive with a D12 and 4 stages. A D18 will be the future :) Is the Hollis C60 a good choice or is it better to look for a horseshoe-wing instead of a...

I was wondering if there are real possibilities for (technical) solodiving on holidays. I don't have a solo diver certificate, but i'm a full cave diver and full trimix diver. In one of my books from a trimixcourse stands: if you don't feel good to make the dive alone, don't make the dive. I...

I did my entry level trimix (60m. depth) not a long time ago, but slowly it's time to take a look on a full trimix/extended trimix course. OC. I prefer doing it with the instructor from my entry level trimix course. But he need another student to do it (problem is we have to travel at least...

We want to stay on the Manta Queen (1 or 2) in april. It's 4 nights, 4 days, 4 dives a day. I'm a DM, my friends has AOW. Have you been on this boat? and was it nice? Long dives (normally we dive 60+minutes)? some deep dives? (30+m?) Diving on your own with your buddy? (I have a mail where...

I heard that your TDI full cave pass is not always accepted in Europe? Is this the truth? And can you dive in Mexico in caves with your TDI full cave?
