Bringing this thread back around to what the OP was about...
Another good way to select your Tec Instructor is to ask for prior-student referrals. I ask my students if they are OK with me passing along their email to future students who are considering taking me on as their TDI Instructor, and...
A few comments vis-a-vis the above:
If you're trying to reach out to a potential Tec Instructor you are thinking of hiring and they are unresponsive, that should be a red flag.
Agree with whomever said, 'just because you have a Helium card, doesn't mean you have to dive Trimix.' More education...
I don't know which of the islands you're on, but if you have the chance to dive with Rubicon on Lanzarote, ask for Mark Rowe and you'll be in safe hands!
DSMB and reel. I’m a tech instructor and I will never get in the water without these two... even for a 30’ reef dive.
I have two separate stories of friends, better divers than me by far, whose lives were saved by their DSMB...
Hi Team,

If you really should be diving Helium mixes but the cost is...

Focus on drawing gas into your lungs using your diaphragm muscles as opposed to your neck or chest muscles. Then exhaling using your chest...
As a general rule of "thumb," you should thumb a dive the minute you ask yourself if you think you should thumb the dive. There is always another dive... if you follow this rule.
Congratulations and thanks to the Thornton clan for an excellent show! The Wyndham is really an ideal size and layout for this event. Here's looking forward to 2020!
Apeks manufacture their regs as stated above, in Blackburn, Lancashire, but what is also of note is that they machine most of their components themselves as well, or at high quality factories in Germany.
I was recently informed of the passing of my former Employer, Chris Davies, Owner of Octopus Diving and Caribbean Technical Diving which occurred yesterday April 10th 2018 in a non-diving related manner.
I worked for Chris for 2.5 years. Chris gave me my start in the Technical Diving world and...
