    Does diving count as a workout day or a couch day?

    Id say the DAN disclaimer is based on the data profile of the typical diver in regard to age and weight and maybe sedentary work I know for myself I find its pretty hard work carrying gear and if youve got a light current its hard work over a long dive

    Can a certified cave diver escort a non cave diver

    Its not that they wouldnt be capable of doing the dive its just that there are more and more gaps appearing in their knowledge and training which increases the chance of it going pear shaped and the balance shifts from you diving with a buddy to you becoming a dive guide and its not so much fun...

    Powerful fins lighter than RK3?

    with practice you can use the dry suit to put a bit of air in the feet ,it feels a bit odd but it works -the rk3 are on the light side but I dont think they have the forward thrust and power that the heavier fins do- have you could try a longer recreational fin that are light an will give you...

    DPV Price vs performance

    I think it depends one what you are using it for especially if a failure is potentially life threatening - if your deep in the back of the cave for example - if your using to play around and have fun then a cheaper one his fine and perhaps is easier to sell as an entry level scooter.
