Hello, Until now, I had never dived in France, my country. Only in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and South America. This summer, my wife and I are taking advantage of a friend's invitation to dive in Nice. On the bright side, the dive presented as multi-level was rather "challenging". Lots of...

Naaah! Chronology matters :cool:

I think that we can all agree that there are too many guesses, assumptions, opinions, feelings, hunches, hearsay, second hand intel, 5 years old information, Wikipedia stuff (since when is it considered flawless) and very few proven and updated facts around here to really determine what...

I don’t buy this one.

No. We (French) saved the Americans from speaking proper English.

I thought that Von Braun led the development of Saturn V. Without it, there would not have been Apollo 11. Now, the nazi might have been naturalized after that. I don’t know.

You should propose this story to J. Cameron. The plot is more interesting and less inept than Titanic or Avatar 2. Abyss was good though.

Is that supposed to be a demonstration that the CEO committed a crime? Nothing to do with diving but… there were many more evidences of misconducts, concealments, lies to a federal agency, disregard to safety including people being fired for raising safety issues and so on and so forth in cases...

Only if a jury or a judge decides so.

I am a bit sad about all some of the comments and the blame, even from James Cameron who himself went to Challenger Deep (way deeper) with an experimental vessel that had less previous dives than Titan (28 people dove to the Titanic with Titan). Of course, the big difference is that he was only...

I always feel uncomfortable with those so called experts. Vulture is a name that suits them better. The Titan is lost and then, you have all those guys showing up on TV talking about safety issues, the personality of the company CEO… They don’t have a clue about what happened but already shoot...

I am not PADI certified so I don’t know. For SSI, AOW is 30 m. SSI DS won’t take you to a 35m wreck dive if you don’t have the rec deep dive cert.

That one is nasty.

I partially agree with that. The reason why I passed my last two certs have nothing to with my wanting to be a professional, one of the best divers in the world, Superman saving all the other divers or pretend I was an expert. It was to be more proficient, get more knowledge and become a better...

I could not care less.

Probably not you. After your unsolicited expression of line of work specialties, I was surprised not to see « Commander of a Seal team ».

You You seem to have a more profound issue unrelated to diving 😀. A professional could help… or not.

Well, sorry but your post is full of inaccuracies and assumptions. First, it is ludicrous to say I just watched him go down. No inclination to apply the skill?!?! Where the hell did you get that? Second, you are wrong again qualifying RD as a job. DM is. RD can be a professional activity but not...

I guess some people confuse acting as a rescue diver within a team for a dive and having a rescue diver cert. Anyone thinking that having a RD insta buddy means his/ her primary responsibility is to guarantee their safety like a body guard would is just deadly mistaken.

Has the Stewart parents case against Sotis and Horizon Divers progressed?
