This is the querry,
My diving is decidedly moving deeper and longer to get better hunting oppotunities off of wrecks not visited often. All of my diving is same day same ocean, if your not back by max runtime buddy on boat calls next of kin.
I called several intro to deco procedures instructors and ran head on into the gear natzis. While some of the gear made sense, alot did not.
If diving same day same ocean,
why do I need a seven foot hose?
I was told by all of them to practice diving doubles with isolator
independants are strictly forboden
if I dive doubles for practice I would like to know how to do a valve drill first
or do you dive all valves open use slung bottle for bailout?
anyone have any advice on these topics?
I fully suport mentoring in dive training.
I have the opportunity to be mentored, should I move forward and F the cards?
or should I keep shoping for an instructor that fits the bill?
