Ok cool, thanks.

Ok, thanks. Is simply going for the Rec pass the best use of this course material?

Hello, Wanting to take Fundamentals soon though I'm not really interested in diving doubles etc at the moment. My question is: I know I can do Fundamentals with a single tank rig and that gets me a rec pass, correct? Can I later upgrade to a tech pass if I decide to go that way? Is this the...

Only two pieces of advice worth following in my book: "never get involved in a land war in Asia" & "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line"

Def look at Big Squid. Nice folk.

Hello, I'm moving to Brisbane in July and am looking for a club or group of divers to show me the ropes. Any suggestions? MG

I'm currently recovering from an ACL reconstruction from a patella tendon graft 3 weeks ago and surgeon has told me to expect to be out of action for at least 12 weeks. To be honest given how I'm feeling right now, I doubt I'd be fit enough for diving in 3 weeks time but it's horses for courses.

Well, they do say black is very slimming.

Perhaps it's something to do with the date the experiment was conducted on? April 1st, perhaps?

Good luck mate, I for one, salute you.

I'm thinking of something quite simple that covers pretty basic checks. Buddy checks are all well and good but generally people are keen to rush through them or actually embarrased to do them (I'm thinking of instabuddies here - not people I've dived with regularly) in a bid to jump off the back...

Is there an actual checklist - those are excellent headings - but is there a broken down set of items to check off?

Interestingly, the article I read on checklists used in surgery (which is why I posted) was put in place instead of doing things from memory. The reinforcement of the ticking a box catches even the most basic errors before they happen and gives each item equal weighting.

Checklists are good. Pilots use them, astronauts use them, surgeons too - all to increase safety and make sure you've covered the most obvious things. Having variously dived into the water over the years with A) No weights b) Air turned off c) Nitrox on dive computer set incorrectly d) Not...

My tuppence.. Drysuit so you can dive all year round Nitrox for the extended bottom times and safety margin Deep for your insurance company

Still do. I could do with losing a couple!

Yeah, probably. I was only posting for the dick joke really....

The original poster is correct in one sense. An extra three inches would make all the difference. Also, I for one would rather have a scale created from arcane data points like the temperature of a rats spleen in ice water and the depth that a nightingale sings twelve bar blues that anything...
