Hi
Apologies if this is in the wrong section. (Mods please move)
I am not a technical diver, far from it. I don't dive with a BP/W. I am an inexperienced diver, currently with 34 dives to my name.
I have watched videos on the internet, (with a certain amount of awe!), technical divers fin backwards! This totally blows my mind as I am am still at the hand sculling stage!
However we all started at the same place, ie we all had our first dive!
I have just recently researched Minimum Gas calculations and was a little dismayed that I was not taught this in my OW. Ok maybe ascending when the first diver is at 50 barg is an acceptable practice, or maybe it over simplifies the situation.
My question to the technical divers of the sport is what do you wish you where taught from the beginning.
I understand buoyancy and finning technique possibly will be the first few answers, but I practice (and get better every dive I do). What else?
