Transitioning to Technical

[down4fun]

So I thought I would update this thread a bit. I have just finished my Naui Tech 1 class. It was an intensive three weekends of classroom, drills, mock deco and then the real thing. The class is Adv nitrox/decompression/helitrox. So the outcome is I am now certified on trimix to about 150. The complete blow by blow of class is in my blog and I have attached a link to my signature line now.

This weekend will be my first post class deco dives. Saturday we (some of my experienced tek friends and I) are heading to The Spiegel Grove to do a nice 45-60 minute dive, max depth 110. Then Sunday we are heading to The Hydro Atlantic. She is a natural wreck sints in 175ft, but the deck is 150 so she makes a perfect dive for me. Plan is 25 minutes at 150ft. I did one of my check out dives for class on her and I can't wait to get back and see some more.

Kim, would your instructor be Lesley by chance? She mentioned a student named Kim and your instructor is a woman so I'm thinking my math adds up.

I did my AOW with Les last year and did some pleasure dives with her this past June... by far my favourite dive buddy!

Oh, and congratulations to both you and Tammy!

Yes Lesley is my instructor. And IMHO a fantastic one. I am planning on doing cave 1 with her this winter and hopefully Trimix 1&2 next spring summer.
