My $0.02.. Me = cave rebreather 100m...titles titles titles...diver - seems this needs to be stated before an opinion. To the OP. IMHO, Yes wreck training is a good idea. This was stated by a few qualified to do so including JC (quoted), DD et al. This thread has a lot of back and forth on...

“Bomb the boats and feed the fish....” Great work on the part of a FEW people in the Indonesian government who are willing to take the risk to do something about this.

My advice is to do a try dive on whatever CCR model is convenient to your location. You can then decide. FWIW I was not interested in CCR after a lot of digging and talking to people who used them. Mostly due to ROI. After a try dive of 90 minutes in 20m of a reef I have seen many times, I...

Are rebreathers getting safer - yes. Absolutely no question. There is a big 'however'. They are only getting incrementally safer. All of the major manufacturers continue to improve their designs for reliability/safety/performance. This is the natural evolution of any product and is...

AN/DP combined into one class then normoxic seems about right to me. Assumption: the diver doing the training already understands buoyancy/trim skills and has a grade school proficiency in math with high school level of understanding of physics and biology. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To the OP (if you haven't already disappeared from the holier than thou nonsense): you did nothing wrong. Think about gas expansion vs depth and why not to dump ALL your BC before ascent. Let it out as you go. Buoyancy skills are perhaps the most important skill IMHO. What is completely out...

My judgement of others is sound... ...others' judgement of me is not. This question (OP) can be asked of almost anything and get the same or similar response. Self vs external view. Interesting thread none the less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also use Zantac. Works really well. Several others I know also use it. I don't have an issues every dive but for the longer ones it is good to know that it will be a comfortable dive.

We dove on the MSY Seahorse about 14 months ago in RA. Booked 7-8 month ahead which I think is typical. Was a fantastic trip. The boat, crew, and guides were top notch. The owner was also with us which is apparently common. He acted as guide for many of the dives. This is the only boat I...

I have been diving everywhere for about 25 years. Been fortunate enough to go to Walindi for 2 weeks and on board the MSY Seahorse in Raja Ampat for 12 days. Completely agree with SpeckeldGrouper in terms of their respective strengths. ...but there is just something about having the ocean to...
