Your ability to dive comfortably in multiple enviroments will increase exponentially the more you dive. However if you only dive in waters that are warm with 50ft viz you will not be comfotable diving in more extreme enviroments no matter how many dives you log. I am a instructor in Victoria...

OK I read a post on here a while back where someone was claiming that Navy Seals dive to 1200m breathing a liquid like in the movie the abyss. Is this true? has anyone else heard of this. I cant stop thinking about it.

Whats your problem? Why is any discusion on SB a waste of time? I dont know about everyone else but I use this board as a place to learn new things and offer my advice when I can. Why do you even bother taking part in these discussions when you see it as simply a waste of time? Who cares how...

Ok I've spent 2 days reading this thread, weighing all sides of the average depth diving argument and listening to some members call others "idiots". What I havent been able to figure out is what is the usefullness of average depth diving? I mean why would anyone want to do it? My closest dive...

Hey I am interested in how the average depth diving you do works. Can you go into more detail i find it very interesting. Thaniks.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me here. I know theres always allot of questions on this site about money that can be made diving as a career and it seems that overwhlemingly the response is that the money isnt great and essentially is just enough to survive on...

First of all as someone else already said mabye you should lossen your belt. However I dont think 30lbs is to much to dive dry. Actually if you're diving cold water with thermal undergarmets I dont see how you could use much less. I dive dry with 32lbs and it works great. However body...

Im thinking this isnt a great idea. First of all if you dive at 70ft for 40 minutes you are at your NDL max. However if you already spent time at a shallower depth, then hit 70 ft where you spent 40 minutes, you would have a decompression obligation and unless you know your exact depth and times...

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone could explain to me what he diffrence between normoxic and hypoxic is. My buddys are tech divers and I often hear them use these terms but I jave never grasped there full meaning. Thanks to anyone who could help.

Hey everyone, I am interested in reading up on and expanding my knowledge of tech diving skills, formulas, planning etc. I am not in a tech course, this is purely to satisfy my curiosity and I was wondering if anyone knew any good web sites that have good information...

Hey Buddy,good to see some guys from B.C. on here. I am 23 and I am a PADI Instructor. When I was first doing my courses, my goal was to go live in the tropics and party and dive. But a few things changed my mind. First I realized that I would probably only make enough money to survive down...

What about Gary Gentile? Where would tech diving be today without this pioneers accomplishments. Also what about the late Padi chief Cronin? We cant forget what Padi has done for diving in terms of marketing the sport to the world.

Check this out. I met a diver who dives untill his tank is out then rockets to the surface no matter what his depth. As he says this "conserves his bottom time". Idiot. Also saw a old guy once who rigged a garden hose as a LPI. Moron.

Hey I live in Victoria B.C. an have had the privilege of diving all up and down the B.C. coast. Your're right, the diving here is awesome. I have never been down south to the tropics and would like to one day, but untill thats day I am happy diving in divers paradise. If you ever have the...

This situation definitley poses some tough questions. Are cave divers also qualified to dive wrecks? Was the instructor following a "gut" instinct on the diver he picked up from observing his behaviour/interaction with other divers? And finally, in todays legal enviroment would allowing a diver...

Well I actually am located in Victoria British Columbia Canada so any ideas?

Hello. Thanks for your response you definiteley gave me some valuable insight. however after posting this thread, I realized I wasnt quite clear. I definitley want to gain years of exp tech diving before I even think about becoming a instructor. I realize I am years and hundreds if not thousands...

Hi there, How deep you dive should be evaluated on your experience level, equipment limitations and water conditions. It is important to recieve some form of advanced training not only so you are comfortable with diving deep and hadling narcosis, but so you can safely plan and execute a dive...

Well obviouslyy if your budget works you should be in a dry suit. I Live and Dive and Victoria British Columbia and know exactly how you feel. Hoever if a dry suit isnt possible, try these tricks. Duct tape a gasoline can so that it is insolated and fill it with hot water for the dive site. On...
