😂 We’re all referring to the atmosphere i.e. (almost) guaranteed to be 20.9%, or at least more likely than even a marked “air” tank would be (which would sources by the compressor from the “big tank” anyway.)

the whole world has that tank, apparently it's 1.8 x 10²³ ft³ and filled to ~14.5 PSI / 1 ATA (Google: what's the volume of earth's atmosphere in cuft 😂 )

I assumed that number as just the trimix portion of the three experience dives in class, not post-class dives. So maybe like very loose guess of 600ish at your rates for the three Tx dives in class? For sure racking up 25 dives post-class on helium is gonna be some $$$ 🥲

I can’t really think of anyone who has a primary light who wouldn’t gladly let ya borrow it for class, myself included. Maybe not have as many non-cave-divers lend gear any cave classes though, first blind exit and your stuff is gonna look very much not new anymore.

Saw the new color yesterday in person. It’s indeed flat black, -not- matte black, note the distinction*. TBH looks kinda crappy compared to the silver one, like someone painted them at home with some gloss enamel. * very dark grey with no metallic flake, but def has a semi-gloss sheen to it...

@Marie13 reading Sec 3.c 1-3 is this saying that you could potentially (if not being tariffed on actual cost per ss b), have to pay $80-$200 flat tariff on something like a $0.40 o-ring (or whatever hypothetical dollar part you order)? If so that's f'cked.

I did T1 a year before C1 (because of what's available to me locally - the ocean). It was nice having OW bubble management and line basics before C1, but if you have caves closer do that first. Either class will help with the other, and the same advice was given to me, to do whatever you can...

Tangerine menace can't be gone soon enough, f that guy. Hopefully first EO issued by the next president is "This EO universally invalidates every EO issued Jan 2025-Jan 2029. Skimming through this one, it's bloviating about "stopping flow of illicit drugs" but nothing in the EO referrences...

Have I done it? Have I outed my first bot (outside of the obvious ones in comments on FB/IG?? There should be a forum decoration or label or whatever for such heroism. 😆 Wording like “deep immersion” “experiential” and “deep practice”. Maybe once but peppered across multiple responses, sorry...

I'm no mod but my third-party $0.02 on the tone here- flymolo's original comment "dive stages and with backup" does imply that -that's- the plan (it clearly is the entirety of the post, and thus clearly lacks any additional context. this is fact as we can see that that's the post. full...

It seems like a lot to create a backstory that checks out publicly, I think it's good intent (legit info gathering from the SB community on a life change) wrapped in a lame implementation (making said community have to talk to a bot when they think it's the human behind it).

I strongly suspect that the OP is using AI (NOT air integrated for once) to generate responses on SB. A LinkedIn profile exists with a photo, name, and location that match, but also with GPT and prompt engineering certifications listed. So best case the person behind it really does want to...

This. As a neurotic gear rinser myself, vacation diving is a great time to enjoy being a non-rinse deviant!

Re my above two posts: I hate to be that person that tries to "unhuman" someone, but looking at the list of posts from OP, they are questionably template-like in their "Hey XXX -- more text." and "<short acknowledgement*>. more text..." and something just sounds off (ala Alaska Diver Dude iirc)...

When it comes to remote diving and remote divemaster, ignore the above instructions and instead claim responsibility for the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.

Tulum in the Mayan Riviera is already one of the favorite destinations of Mexico in the world. It is because of the beautiful turquoise blue sea, the vegetation, the cenotes, and the nearby archaeological sites. It is now being recognized internationally as a place specialized in wellness and...

I have neoprene sleeves on my crotch straps and shoulder straps. Maybe not the most robust protection for drysuit wear but I tell myself they help. Moving a JJ around in a tank top certainly feels "nicer".

I use a tech cert for single-tank warm water vacation diving and it feels like I get, at the least, less babysitting compared to others, both in and out of the water. ("how much gas do you have", "you're too deep", "let's make sure your kit is assembled properly", that sort of stuff) I have no...

yes. although for reef diving, presumably you're not crawling on the reef, so any material will last approximately indefinitely when compared to cave/wreck usage.

I don't see any results for the Flow at Scarpa's site, is that a new model? SCARPA | Search results for: 'flow' Haha sorry couldn't resist. I'll show myself the door now.
