Well.......since my Bahamas vacation is canceled (Frances took the roof off of our resort). I guess I can afford a trip to Florida this winter. I was deciding between Trimix or Cave. My Tec Instructor suggested doing Cave first to improve my skills.
So Me and a Buddy are signed up to take Cavern, Intro, & Full Cave with Larry Green in January!! :)

I'll be ready for some warm weather by then!! :wink:
 
cool, although I am a bit biased because of where I live. Cave is VERY cool and will increase your skills tremendously, and it is a great excuse to get to Florida or here in Mexico....

I do agree with you tech instructor. Took my cave class last February in Florida and it was something else. I'm leaving for Mexico in a few weeks, guess I can let you know what's best when I come back. I still don't have the trimix course, but I did dive on trimix once. No big difference with a nitrox dive with deco on O2. I guess eventually I will need the card if I want to get my tanks filled by people outside my diving group.

The cave course covers pretty much every aspects of diving techniques and will make you a bette diver.
 
Welcome to the boards!!!

I'll be looking forward to hearing about Mexico when you get back!! :)

Tavi, full cave course will give you new skill's and teach you new thing's, the course is great, you'll learn ALOT, and when your done be a much better , streamlined diver, i havn't took a tri-mix course yet, but i know what's entailed, obviousley if your thinking of going with Tri-mix, you dove with doubles all ready, so there shouldnt be alot of new equipment you'll have to get used to, other then maybe dry-suit, don;t know if you dive that right now, but for full cave it's hard to do a prolonged dive and have a small amount of deco obligation and be cold !! Good luck with your course, you'll love it, you wouldn;t belive how much of the skill's you'll use in wreck's, and in diving overall, even when i dive reek's now, im configured, and dive like in a cave, my technique is very streamlined, and great applying some of them in wreck's, which you'll probley do on Tri-mix dive's, unless you just want to go down 200+ feet to look at the fishes :wink: Good luck, enjoy it !!
