    Best Nitrox Mix/ Profile at 100'

    If you are feeling lucky and are willing to push your ppo2 then you might be willing to push your NDL. Just skip that pesky 20ft stop, lots of people skip deco and are fine. ****Disclaimer****. I take no responsibility for anyone following this bad advice.

    Buy or rent computers?

    Yea, tec divers don't use computers. Sure. There is a market full of tec computers. I would recommend buying a computer if you really want one because there are quite a few places that don't rent them. And a good starter nitrox computer can be had for cheap.

    What PSI can you breath a tank down to?

    That reminds me of a quote; I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose. Name that movie for a gold star.

    refunding deposit for canceled trip

    They are running a business not a charity. Making a living in the dive charter business is hard, I have seen too many boats go out of business because they can't cover cost and take home enough money to feed their families. As a customer some times you gotta take a big bite of a **** sandwich...

    Diving Air vs Nitrox

    Every shop I have got Nitrox from has had on O2 analyzer. Shoot shops that sell tri-mix have had the combo He&O2 analyzer. And in the whole scheme dive gear an O2 analyzer is pretty cheap.

    Eventually want to get into Wreck Diving - what are the pre-requisites?

    For me the PADI course can have value for new divers to teach reel skills, fine tune buoyancy, teach alternative propulsion methods, ect. The key to it being a great course is the instructor, get with an instructor that teaches and regularly dives at the tec wreck level and talk about your...

    Drinking the Night before a dive

    As long as you are not drunk or to hung over to dive I would say you should be good. The rule I go by is I do all my dives for that day, then I start drinking, the next morning repeat the cycle.

    Is there a standard "Emergency" signal?

    Most rec divers are Same Ocean Buddies, regardless of wether they stay together or not. A lot of rec divers have not been taught how to handle dynamic scuba emergencies. Just because you dive with a "buddy" especially and insta-buddy does not mean you are buddy diving. To truly buddy dive you...

    Drinking the Night before a dive

    The key to not being hung over the morning of a dive is get an IV 1st thing after you wake up. Fastest re-hydration method I know of.

    3 or 5 minute Safety Stop?

    An Al40 is a great deco bottle for cave diving, if you need more gas go with an Al80 or two, but most Cave diver I dive with do dives with Al40's but also have 80's for bigger dives.
