I've dived the Shearwater line for a decade or more, had roughly 30 Peridx in various flavors pass through my hands, and all of my teammates and students dive them. In terms of reliability, phenomenal customer service, and re-sale value, anything made by Shearwater would be my first choice...

Sold, thanks @BalekFekete! Pleasure doing business with you.

For anyone looking, I have another brand new Perdix AI ready to ship. $900 with free shipping to the lower 48, Paypal friends and family only please, or local pickup to 20639 via Paypal or cash.

Hi yes still available.

Dropping the price, $850 with PayPal Friends-Family.

Hi all, one unit left.

Hi all, I'm done diving for a bit due to some ongoing health issues, so I'm offloading some of my gear, including my most recent purchase a custom Otter Atlantic HD Drysuit. The suit is brand new, in box, still with the hanging tags. I order back in the Spring, but with the backup at the...

Hi folks for those of you who don’t know me, I sell my used gear I teach with here from time to time. Well, it’s time to sell two Perdix AI I bought on 2/18/2021 for a Trimix class that fell through. I don’t think my student will be ready to dive again this year so off they go to a new home...

I'm not one of those instructors, and when you consider everything that goes into teaching a Tec course properly, I don't know how it is a money maker for most people. When I figure out how many hours it takes to teach Tec40 properly, dives, gas fills, lodging and miles to the dive site...

Indeed. I was supposed to be in Lake Erie next weekend doing some of that but a family vacation to SC put a halt to that.

Yes, that is a lot of money. I did say "somewhat" irrelevant. I wouldn't be doing $380 dives on a regular basis. I'd probably be looking for a different dive at that price, unless it was really worth it. I'm doing some really cool, pristine wrecks up in NJ in the fall (possible U boat), I'll...

Well aware, both at retail and wholesale, I teach it. Cost to me is somewhat irrelevant. I don't dive deep a ton outside of class, but when I do, sure I'll use light helium in my mix if I can. I get narc'd fairly easily especially on hot drops with feet down descent. And it isn't the nice...

How about IANTD: Recreational Trimix Diver (OC, SCR, CCR) this is the course I was thinking about. I'm not sure if IANTD still offers it or not.

To the OP, are you sure you need deco bottles for recreational Trimix? From my understanding of those courses, they are no deco only, and therefore would not require a deco bottle(s) for accelerated decompression. Also, I don't discount the utility of helium in very small amounts for deep...

They are probably filling them to more thank 3000, but they fill quick, because, they want to get on to other things than filling tanks. So the tanks cool after a quick fill, and then the pressure drops. Its one of the reasons I fill my own LP tanks SLOWLY. It is easier on the metal, and it...

Hi, yes I used to do trips out of Jupiter and WPB a lot too, not so many lately though. If I were vacationing I would probably pick the Keys. More of a laid back, island atmosphere IMO. So family diving, snorkeling etc. When I taught Trimix, wreck, deep, or other technical classes...

Nice pics and writeups. I used to take trips down there about 4-8 times per year pre COVID. A few suggestions for those contemplating the trip, buy the Sunpass transponder and have it shipped to your house prior to travel. Let the rental car company know you have your own transponder and not...

Yes.

I think there is to a point. I have a few students that I have taken from OW up through the TEC series and I've been their instructor for most, if not all of that journey. So, if a student develops a good relationship with an instructor and uses them through their diving journey, there is...

Unless I misunderstood the question, it was asking what classes are most requested, not recommended. When taking students into advanced classes such as deep, self reliant and ESPECIALLY any Tec classes, if there are any buoyancy issues period, we remediate until they are fixed. If not, they...
