Recreational GUE in the real world tips. GUEEDGE should be a really quick review of the dive plan. It should never take more then a few minutes. If you find yourself taking to long or debating the details with the team get that worked out in the GUEPLAN before you even get close to the dive...

Congrats otter! Fundies is such an eye opener.

Looks like what he is talking about is dive tracking and not so much dive planning since he is mentally calculating his average depth on the fly during the dive. I would think your instructor might caution you that it is a little more of an advanced method. I'm not sure if GUE would ever...

Yes GUE depth averaging can be used with either the tables or rule of 130. Assuming you are using GUE depth averaging methods. Continuous ascent averaging max depth + first MD stop /2 = average depth Depth averaging max depth + intermediate depth /2 = average depth Your weighted depth...

If you are neutral you shouldnt have to kick up to start your ascent. Use your breathing cycle to start your ascent.

If its not in your mouth the long hose regulator is clipped off to the right d-ring. Examples include; doing an OOA where you are the recipient, going through the basic 5, breathing off a stage bottle or deco bottle, sitting around on the surface, and gear sitting around unattended...

Kevin, Remember the context here is recreational diving. Rules of thirds is mentioned in rec and fundies classes but isnt expanded on or allowed for dive planning. recreationally, for rules of halves you can use method two safely as exit isnt mandatory. As she mentioned the material is kind...

In the real world If a dive team has scrs that are that far apart then yes, you would probably talk about using method 2 knowing that it will complicate dive planning. Having said that I wouldnt be surprised if the fundies answer will probably be that you use the conservative method 1...

Im doing a scuba reboot and I am going through rec 1 with my wife in May and looking at the Rec 1 material it is also a bit vague hinting at both methods. Rec 1 is very conservative were you use a scr of .75 for all planning so with that in mind, if I ask this question in rec 1 I would think...

If you click on Tobins deepseasupply link he has a "rig configurator" where you can ala cart a complete setup. He makes Kydex instead of aluminium backplates. If you will always use a single tank it would be fine. It includes everything for a "DIR" or "Hog" rig which might not mean much to you...

How is your snatch holding up? Dont you hate the never ending snatch jokes? :D Mark

haha good point. I wish i did a better job of taking notes when we had side bar discussions in my tech 1 class :shakehead:

The GUE Tech 1 standard was to not double the deep stops but hand off the EAN 50 reg every 10 feet during the deep stops and then double the shallow stops and switch off every 5 mins. I think we talked about this a little as to why you dont take advantage of the o2 window on the deeper stops...

In Tech 1 Gideon taught us in to just keeping it simple and doing linear RD. I kind of got a vibe that RD shaping was instructor preference. Before class I was doing s-curves mainly because we were doing 2 bottles and the s-curve helps add enough time at 30 to do a switch to back gas. If I am...

Sorry to necro an old thread but instead of having a separate app why not simply create a sub-forum dedicated to users creating dive log threads where they can post their logged dives? A lot of workout forums have work out log sub-forums where people record their workouts like this Workout Logs...

Has anyone actually taught you to do ratio deco on air or is this your own experiment?

Hehe for every diver bent diving a computer on the edge there is one bent from diving without a computer. :) Was it an aggressive dive plan or did he have some other issue? PFO, smoker, ect?

I hate to say it but that says to me "know your dive profile and proper ascent plan and don't trust a computer."

That's a fair point Bob.

In the "DAN was there for me" was no NDL mean the dive ended at the beginning of ascent and at that point he was NDL or did he have a computer that showed it as a clean dive? Just as in deco dives if you dont get off the bottom fast enough you will accrue more nitrogen loading then you've...
