Thanks good to finally hear something about him. And Jim was openly honest about that over the phone. And I dont blame him for being like that. I rather someone be honest and just flunk me and say i'm not ready rather than pass me and send off into something I'm not ready for.

I was wondering the same thing? I plan on doing all of my training in doubles. And prefer to enter any overhead enviorenment with doubles over a single. ---------- Post added May 25th, 2014 at 09:33 PM ---------- I run into an issue though that I'm going to have to purchase double cylinders...

Thanks guys. I think I may go ahead and dive backmount doubles. I'm going this week to meet up with a local cave diver/ow level instructor who dives sidemount and backmount. And he is going to give some insight along with willing to help me learn either one prior to my cavern and cave training.

Ok guys I'm currently in the process of beginning my cavern and cave training soon down in florida. I have heard nothing but great things about Jim Wyatt and highly consider using him as my instructor. But at the same time I somehow got ahold of Jim McMicheal, and talked with him for awhile and...

Welcome. And good to see another AR diver on the forum.

Well I finished up my PADI Nitrox course tonite, and I'm officially Nitrox certified. Next up peak performace buoyancy.

Will check into the weights on the shoulder straps. That'll probably be my easiest solution. And yes I am properly weighted. I even tried moving weight around from the front intregrated pockets. To the pockets up on the tank. Neither of which could I get weight high enough to balance out.

I tried both picking my feet up and moving my tank up. I have decent trim when it hits me in the back of the head lol needless to say that aint gonna work. I'm gonna try my dads fins since he sinks head first. Maybe I can correct this with fins. I checked my bc for pockets around the top to add...

I have already been looking at BP/W style. But hopefully this will last for more than a few dives lol. But right now I need to try finding a new pair of fins. I spent all weekend working with my bouyancy and trim with the new BC. And i'm foot heavy with the fins I use. I only get good trim with...

Haha I know havent fully accquired everything I should have said my basic gear. Because I already catch myself looking at tech gear on and off. Just kind of nice finally owning my hear rather than renting equipment. I was talked out of buying my own stuff from people who own their own gear for...

I just got thru picking up my new BC after waiting a week for it to show up. Hopefully gonna go try it out this weekend. I purchased the dimension I3 from aqua lung this past week. Along with recently accquiring there micron regulator and octo. And also signed up for my nitrox course today...

Will do. I'm looking at diving norfork, but not real sure about where all to dive at there. You ever dive there?

Hey guys new to the forum here. But located in central AR and would like to meet up sometime and meet some new dive buddies. I'm currently an open water diver, going next month to get nitrox certified and then the next step will be advanced open water and cavern/cave diver. PM me sometime.
