    Light deco?

    Should have included without getting bent. My bad.

    Light deco?

    Agreed. I was questioning the validity of a rule that has no precise definition and is not exactly the the smartest approach to deco diving. I stand by my original statement. All factors being equal, if you can do a direct ascent, it wasn’t a deco dive.

    Light deco?

    Just playing devils advocate, but wouldn’t being able to directly ascend invalidate the point of having a deco obligation? Or are you meaning when your computer shows a couple minutes of deco that will clear during a normal ascent?

    How do I log it?

    The swim wasn't too bad, once I got a bit inland I caught a different current headed to shore. Took about an hour all up. The boat never had a chance to see me, by the time I got to the surface and deployed my smb, coupled with a high swell, I was pretty much already out of sight. The worst...

    How do I log it?

    So the other day, doing a wreck dive,I got blown off the anchor line on descent and caught in a ripping current. I lost sight of the boat and ended up swimming 4km back to land then got a friendly jetskier to give me a lift back out to the boat. Should I still log this as a dive? If so, does...

    How to change battery in a old Mares computer ?

    Give Dive Centre Manly a call. They're pretty good with battery changes. They also have Uwatec bottom timers if the thing is truly dead.

    Marketable skills in the dive industry

    Hmmm... I might be SOL on that point. ---------- Post added October 14th, 2015 at 10:58 PM ---------- That right there is the crux of my question. Forget about instructing, forget about diving. There's thousands(millions?) of people out there who can do that. What matters out of the water?
