I'll go on the record saying; you are wrong... Dive more, read less internet forums...

this news article is wrong. She was not diving in OREGON.. it was WASHINGTON coast..

Peter surfaced and is OK and with friends. Yes - Lynne is still missing. The coastguard has 2 boats, a helicopter and fixed wing and actively still searching. If I can kindly ask people refrain from speculation or hearsay at this time until we know more..

Gone!

haha - thats an awesome infographic :)

I've never had any issues either.. It's also hard to know exactly how many liters and bars your tanks are when they are not marked like that from manufacturer.. Also when you mix gas at the shop, guaranteed they wil be psi.. When leaving your tanks at the shop for a fill and you ask for 50% and...

All good points.. But I think until a person has done a GUE Cave1 and Cave2 class and experienced standardized single-file, no-viz, touch-contact procedures within team diving principles, it would be hard in my opinion to judge team-diving principles in such situations without the training and...

People tend to lose forest for the trees.. When individuals take the the GUE principles as gospel and start preaching with their own interpretation. Like getting all religious about bolt snap sizes and dry or wet gloves.. Nobody in GUE leadership has ever said that side mount is the devils...

HAHAHA, Krzys, you know you should mix the koolaid responsibly with water... Not snort it directly from the packet, right? ;) Im very much looking forward to your fundies class in May! You'll love it!

Selling a spare Halcyon 21-WATT HID I have.. never gets used anymore. Its about 2 years old and comes with light, canister, battery and charger. Burn test on battery about 6 months ago showed battery still good for over 3.5 hours burn time.. PRICE: $600 + you pay shipping (retail price...

I Use dry gloves all the time.. 250 ft wrecks or 40 ft honeybear.. I've torn zero dry gloves during a dive.. I've cut them before the dive accidentally and replaced out fix them and same with seals. I think you run a higher risk of zip, suit or seal failure than gloves in my opinion and...

Depending on the implementation of the algorithm, I'm fairly certain that they all somewhat vary in Half time, M and modifiers to those values thats used and I think for various tissues and that many manufacturers have slight variances in those and different modifiers on the algorithms and some...

High Springs, FL

That off gassing ceiling is heavily dependent in which algorithm and conservancy factors you apply.. GUE min deco is a very pragmatic approach on what we know what works well in practice and also try and accommodate the best of bubble and dissolved gas worlds.. Everything wil be explained on...

Fingers together is kinda hard to see, especially using black wetsuit gloves in the dark.. Never used or seen anyone use the finger down signal.. Smb usually points up.. Dropping stage points down.. Very rarely will we drop stages in open water, even if so, won't be at smb depths.. So it's...

First time ever hearing of signals like that.. I teach al my GUE classes with what I believe is the standard one handed tec diving signals for numbers. Like this, except I don't keep fingers together for above 6 It's the same signals in the gue required reading materials.. Fundamentals book...

Did he have another agency'd equivalent level cert that he skipped and i would venture already possessed compatible skills to a GUE T1/C1 diver ?

I dont think that really qualifies as a "cross-over" that was an IE probably doing a check out dive with you to evaluate your existing certification before allowing you to participate in a next level class. GUE does not do like-for-like certification cross-overs. As mentioned, there is...

LiteHedded is right, e-mail in IE an ask for a cross-over.. there IS provision in the standard to do it, you may have to fly them in or go to them and dont expect it to buy the IE a coffee and talk him into signing off without due diligence and skills checkout dive(s). Find your IE of choice...

Not to try and pick on any specific agency, but there are prime examples out there of what in my personal opinion makes "cross-over" programs a recipe for disaster.. These cross-overs simply requires some paperwork and money to obtain another agency's certs and teaching credentials (yes, even...
