Unpopular opinion: When my time is up, it's up. No one will be able to save me if I have an incident on a solo dive that I can't solve myself. That's why I don't want to be dependent on help from others when diving and regularly train for incidents. I always leave my wife the exact dive site...

Rütennen, Beckenried, Kanton Nidwalden, Switzerland. Google Maps Information of the Dive Spot Nice Spot with a great and deep Wall, i love this Spot :heart::heart::heart: Here a Video from April with my Frogfriends :D

The first and most important thing is to realize that your trim and buoyancy are crap. Since everyone always told me that I was a good diver for a beginner, I never worked on it and felt like a god underwater.... When I started my first Tek course there were clear requirements for trim and...

Hello together I had Corona last year over Christmas / New Year and thankfully have fully recovered. A few weeks I felt weak during exertion and have kept the 3 months diving break that our medical diving organization prescribes. Before diving I had a checkup and everything was ok :) Here is...

Important: I am not a doctor, if you want to be on the safe side contact DAN. My wife also has such small elevations from time to time, it is most likely a slight allergy to something. DCS in the skin is typically very red/bluish, symptoms increase when the skin warms up and it is...

Hello Alcalde I chose the SiTech Oval Cuff Rings (Siflex seals) system because a friend recommended the Rolock 90 system. The Rolock system is really cool and has not let me down so far, modifications are not necessary. And it comes from Switzerland :wink: Important: It must be the ovals...

Hello all If someone wants to test how it feels to dive without BC he can do it, best with an experienced buddy and at an easy dive site with shallow entry. However, the question was not about that someone wants to test it because it is cool or wants to improve his skills, it was about that an...

Hello together Are there also swiss divers here ;) ? Greetings from Basel Pareto

Hello together I know some divers who had Covid, they can dive again without problems. Over Christmas I myself had Corona (and pretty bad), I have seen a diving doctor after 3 months, he has found nothing that stands in my way to dive again. In the meantime I had about 10 dives deeper than...

Hello Boby Thanks for the link, but I think for this purpose I will use the Scaleo Heat. A friend of mine has this and is thrilled. https://scaleo-light.de/scaleo-heat/ Part of my dive school concept is to use European (preferably local) manufacturers wherever possible. Therefore your...

My technical instructor told me an interesting story. He was on a dive boat for a week, all divers measured the nitrox the first 1-2 days and everything was ok, through this safety almost no one measured anymore (shallow dives, no deco). However, my instructor measured each tank himself with...

Hello together I started technical diving this year and the deco times are getting longer and longer. Because we in Switzerland are not blessed with warm water in the deco stops all year round, I am currently considering buying a heating vest from Santi. My lamps currently work without tank...

Hello all Personally, I dive two 12L tanks sidemount and one longhose. But fortunately I never had a real OOG situation, only simulated. Mostly my buddies diving with 10 liter mono tanks are the limiting factor. But I have to say that I only dive in Swiss lakes and the inexperienced divers want...

Welcome to the Forum I wish you a nice time here :) Greetings from Switzerland Pareto

Great Videos Daniel, i will follow on YT

When I started diving I was very overweight (140kg/308pounds at 1.86m/6.1Feet tall). I have since lost a lot of weight to reduce my risk of DCS and not be so exhausted all the time. I only do sports like diving, diving and diving again. From time to time I do a little mountain biking.
