Hi there! This is my first post on here so bare with me... I have been an avid world travel & scuba diver for the past 9 years. My next adventure/aspiration is to teach scuba somewhere tropical for a few years. I started off PADI (Ow, AD, Rescue, EANx), but I now work and train at a NAUI...

I'm a soon-to-be PADI instructor and I totally disagree with the low standards and procedures (students on the knees etc...). Here, as probably anywhere else in the world, the instructors who are most praised by the dive shop owners are of course those who can squeeze as many courses/dives a day...

Years ago, I took an all-day class on how to service my own Scubapro equipment. I don't remember it it was an "authorized" class or not. It has been so long ago, i have forgotten a lot of it. Are there any dive shops on the east coast to offer a weekend class for this type of thing? I can...

Hello, do you log your freediving trainings ? What do you store ? How ? I have a Mares Smart Apnea watch, hoping it could help :-) Thanks

Hi Team! I’m wondering if anyone has any leads on instructors/shops that teach the PADI Tec 60 CCR course on the Hollis Prism 2 in the Asia/Pacific region (specific enough...?:D). Preferably not in the US, so closer to Australia. I’ve done some googling and not having much luck. I’ve also...

I am curious about benefical altered mental states people have experienced freediving or scuba diving. For instance Natalia Molchanova the famous freediver used a Russian technique called Deconcentration Of Attention. Soviet scientists in the 1980’s extracted this as a “technology free of...

Hi scuba colleagues, My wife and I certified this last year and completed our advanced open water certification along with 20 additional dives in grand cayman this summer. One of our goals is to get the experience necessary to feel comfortable diving on a liveaboard trip to Galapagos (Darwin...

I posted this on another site so if you have already seen this forgive me. This is a lesson’s learned type of post, as always, I will thank you in advance for reading to the end. I spend a lot of time in the water, many times Solo due to the type and frequency of my non-PSD dives. With this in...

Hey all! I am looking for some advice in deciding the training path i should take. I have been diving for 8 years and only have around 60 dives. I have trained with SSI my current certs are OW and EAN40. Right now i want to go to Tech and Cave diving. I would say right now i am in a state...

Hey guys. I was hoping you guys might be a great resource for solving my problem. My fiance and I live in Cincinnati and are looking to get an advanced open water cert. Problem is, we've been less than impressed with the training we've received thus far locally. We switched to a new lds...

Greetings folks, quick question. Having briefly looked at what info is available on the internet does anyone know the difference/value of differentiating between the RAID Explorer 30 and Advanced 35 courses? Obviously other than having an advisory bottom limit of either 30 or 35 meters what...

Hello Everyone :0) I have been a member here since a couple of years but haven't been active online. Now that I have decided to focus seriously on diving, I need all the advice I can get - thank you guys in advance! I have completed my Divemaster program 6 months ago, and now want to choose an...

Hey, I'm looking to get into tech diving in the next few months and am currently researching my options and saving up $$$ to make the jump. I think it is a good idea to at least explore the side mount option to see if it might be a good fit for me. I've had some low back issues in the past...

Hi all. Im planning to take an open water course in Batangas, Philippines, but I'm unsure where specifically to take the course. I'm looking for a resort that's reputed for having good and effective dive masters, but with fees that are not overpriced. I've already done an introductory dive and...
