Deepest heartfelt condolences. Hers is a spirit that will be sorely missed. RIP.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I did a shallow technical dive this past weekend. Unfortunately, my Suunto D6 was set on computer mode for some odd reason, and I only realized this upon descent on the dive. I spent a bunch of time underwater trying to figure out how to get it back to gauge mode before resigning to just...

Congrats! Sounds like you and your classmates had a great experience with Bob. Thanks for the report. Keep up the good work.

Who says GUE and UTD are the only ones claiming they are DIR? I know people who are trained from many other agencies who claim that they are DIR. Anybody who wants to is claiming the title these days. Hence, my post above about the term being meaningless these days.

It's a meaningless term at this point to me. People using it these days are either directly or indirectly trying to market something or sell you something...

I'm making up my own agency so whatever I want shall now be called "DIR". You're all good in my book. ;)

I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to dive outside of class with every instructor I've ever had. Still keep in touch with my OW instructor. My GUE Fundamentals instructor has been my regular local technical dive buddy, and I dive and get together with my technical dive instructor...

Another +1 for getting in contact with Bob Sherwood (GUE Training Director). My 2 teammates in my GUE Tech 2 class both live in Maryland. Bob Sherwood was their instructor for GUE Fundamentals, Tech 1, and Tech 2. I would just go ahead and give Bob a call directly on his cell phone to let...

I was freediving at around 40 ft and saw a Japanese OW class that came from the shore.

Dude, I think you need to work on reading comprehension skills cause you got some feedback.

I'd hop on the Peace. You can sleep aboard as well, so no need to spend money on a hotel room.

Hey, like I said, just be glad if you aren't really into it. It's a lot cheaper that way! ;)

I dunno what kind of racing your partner is doing, but diving is definitely cheaper in my experience (went through 2 BMWs and all their associated parts/tires).

I honestly had no idea that technical diving would cost this much. I unfortunately enjoy it too much. Too late for me. Just hope that you don't like it that much and don't need to do much of it. Will be easier on your wallet this way. :) Heck, even recreational diving cost more than I...

If you're worried about the cost of buying a single tank, don't even think about going into technical diving... lol

Thanks. That underwater rugby seems like a ton of fun.

Underwater rugby? Do you guys have massive scrums underwater? LOL. Got any video of an underwater rugby match?

Don't really see anything wrong with technical divers treating a hit like a sports injury from a psychological standpoint. I definitely don't think that it's any badge of honor. When I get hit with a sports injury though, believe me I think a lot about how I can try to avoid it again. I try...

How many people are signed up on the Sundiver Express at this point?
