New article on the blog that some of you may find interesting; The Biggest Risk in Technical Diving (and how to avoid it) "One of the best articles I've read on tec diving in a long time..."

I have 24 logged dives and am doing my PADI rescue in a few months. I love the ocean and diving and keep seeing tons of discussions all over different forums about topics and concepts I really don't understand, be it 'USN dive tables' or 'buoyancy swing' and 'neutral jets', where can I learn...
