    Waterproof W7 5mm wetsuit - First impressions

    There was for a short period, but I didn't bring my dive gear with me to Bahrain, I'm on vacation in Nederland and I will bring some of my basic dive gear with me, but now they imposed lockdown again, as there is a surge in cases, but then it will be kind of impossible to dive in summer, so now...

    Fiona Sharp death in Bonaire

    Apparently she was deaf person, maybe possible that the blinker light failed ??? Does the dive computer from the inspiration have a vibration mode ?? Maybe she wanted to say 90ft and by mistake she said 90m, I know the resort is full of yanks and maybe she got it wrong explaining, it doesn't...

    Fiona Sharp death in Bonaire

    From what I have read of all her friends in the medical community, one of hear colleagues in Perth a female friends that happen to dive with Dr Fiona as a buddy see mention she was deaf, that is why she had a loud voice, that made her very noticed around in a gathering.

    Fiona Sharp death in Bonaire

    The only thing I know about CCR is that of a try-dive so I don't. This maybe been mention before but so many posts is easy to miss. Dr. Fiona was deaf, do the DC integrated to the Inspiration CCR vibrate to make you aware of a alarm or is it just visual and sound ? I know the Inspiration have...

    Even if called little deco it is deco, it is a obligation, and it can or will **** you up if you blow it, up too you, risk-reward, every one have his own perspective.

    3+ deco dives per day?

    Is it worth it ? I have done 2 x 165ft on air and 50% deco in one day, as you see small dives, and I was feeling good after them, but like it was mentioned there is not enough time to do a 3rd dive and you probably will be trashed after a 3rd one, or dead if you are diving the profiles of...

    Any equipment buying regrets ?

    Lots of regrets, specially whe you step into tec, you find out that most of the rec stuff is garbage. So either don't step into tec, or if you are aiming for it stop buying what you had in mind, sell all your rec garbage in start fresh with good advice. My biggest regret has been the BCD...

    Don't get me wrong, I have done solo tec, comfortably but looking back to it, if something go wrong you are alone in it, it can escalate too much worse, is it really worth it ? I look back to it and I find it was not, and is not about the dives, they were fantastic wrecks in very nice clear...

    For what you are looking as a Instructor, you may want to try Mark Powell he fiils in most of what you are looking for IMO. Regarding Solo tec, you have kind of a wrong idea in your head Cheers

    Lv2dive, I had a great experience at TekCamp ton of knowledge I went for all the days of the Camp that now are 4 instead of 6. I admire the patience women have, I had a female instructor for a trydive on a rebreather she was very very very patience and soft spoken no ego or arrogance. I can...

    Yes, the "why" of something is very important and further more that they take the time to show you comparisons the big ego ones tend to just tell you this is the way with very little explanation, it is as well that they lack to so speak the patience of a teacher or do so with a little arrogance...

    Current opinions on Padi Tec-rec?

    Thinking that An/dp are entry levels, they are not, they are the most important of all courses it can't be called entry level. Most see trimix or advance trimix as the most important but basically they are fills from AN/DP, trimix is more theory than actually practice, the exercises are the...

    Current opinions on Padi Tec-rec?

    I have done, Vis-Croatia, Curacao, and some small decos in Germany and Nederland. It is very difficult to find a buddy that want to go the Tec road most of the dive clubs are rec diver in about 98% of them and to join in or be accepted in another group of tec divers seem more difficult, it is...

    Current opinions on Padi Tec-rec?

    Taimen I see you are doing exactly the same mistakes I made. AN/DP are the most important courses of tec diving and are not a entry level, trimix ( normoxic ) is less demanding and if you have not nailed all exercises, theories and practices from An/Dp you are not good for trimix more so for...

    Current opinions on Padi Tec-rec?

    I'm not saying you haven't but. What you proposed to them is realistic ? One sometimes in our own ignorance don't see it as such, but in tec diving most likely it is not a save approach of what you want to accomplish in a certain time frame withing right amount of practice You want to go to...

    Yes I guess you can find a big name with a big ego, the no name instructor I had where I did my tec training is no longer with that Agency. And the big name instructor for who I went to do my trimix was right with the things I had/have wrong even that I didn't continue because I was made aware...

    It is better to find a know big name in the tec courses or somebudy that have been trained by one of them, in the reason is that I got certified by a no name, which wasn't activily doing deco dives with a big mounth of how grate he is and a lot of bla bla bla, and push on me equipment that was...
