ChrisCrash:heehee thats what im talking about i dont want to see fish i just want to go deep i dunno its my type of rush i see fish all the time i work at a marina. my rush is going deep thats i want to get into deco divingi just want to start with normal gas to get used to it thats why i was asking how deep can i go and for how long type of thing.
If after OW training, and doing some diving you do NOT know how deep you can go and for how long, then you need to go back and review your training materials, start with the regular dive tables.
Then get more training because right now you can't go very deep for very long. Why going deep is a thrill is beyond me. I can not really tell the difference between 30feet and 100feet other than the fact I have to KNOW the difference, and I use air faster
IMO the only reason to go deep is to see STUFF. Generally this STUFF is wrecks, as most interesting living things in the ocean that one can see are within the first hundred feet, even if there is a whole deep world to explore. However when I say deep I mean DEEP! Whales and sharks are often seen at 3000',and no deco diving is going to get you down there.
As to how deep, and how long can you go? Well start paying attention to the discovery and Travel channel more. You can LIVE in a bubble for WEEKS if you get enough training, and someone thinks you would be valuable for salvage or recovery work.

Ron relaxe i know how deep i can go with OW Water training if you have had time to read the whole post starting from the start it was something that i want to learn about.. notice you dont learn things if you dont ask so i asked and your telling me to go back to OW training dude. Come on we have lots of snow here we can ride our snowmobiles into town to get food for the night all i do is read the ow book and tables and this forum and play xbox lol. I just want to know things and really for me seeing wrecks is just little i would rather go deep like Nuno Gomes who did that dive to 1,044 feet to set the world record i want to be doing stuff like that training hard. But i think nuno gomes was my age once and was doing the same thing as me right now asking people how and where to go.
I think ChrisCrash should read "The Last Dive." He reminds me a bit of Chrissy Rouse.

oh ya the last dive? can i read that one the net or is a book? and just wondering by that what are you meaning that ima get myself killed? or something. Rather die something i love doing then sittin at home watching t.v. Im not saying ima go out 2morrow and dive to 1044 feet im saying in time i would like to get deep like nuno gomes call me crazy but ya. I have dreams i want to do that. im turning 17 so im asking about it now to prepare myself. i should of put this in the tech area of the forum
It's a very good book Chris and out in paperback I think - so it's not expensive. You'll learn a lot about deep diving. Chrissy was young like you and very highly trained and skilled. You'll have to read the book. Once you start you won't be able to put it down.

i will have to pick it up im just saying ima not go do it 2morrow i want to prepare myself. Like snowmobiling i ride huge bowls you see in the movies like kinda like the heli snowboarders.. me and my old man rolled sleds down hills over top of each other seen some bad stuff happen. We just rolled a truck off a logging road off a cliff got lucky on that one god was on myside so i know accients do happen i been riding sleds since i was like 3 and now im turning 17 im a very good rider and i still roll them and have acidents i really dont think its training. Training helps but experience is better would you rather hirer a dive master just out of training or a rescue diver who has over 3000 dives and the dive master only has 200. but sadly the dive master would be hired cause he has a card saying he is a higher lvl diver its sad i say.

ChrisCrash:
Well while you are waiting for Tech...Why don't you take a Drysuit class??
It is the only way to do Tech diving COMFORTABLY
Also, an Ice Diving class will also be a great help...
