I am Seriously impressed. You guys must have a great routine 7 x 365. I was impressed by what I accomplished - not much Monday 2.5 hours and snow shovelling - not really cardi but it needed to be done Tuesday 1 hour of Yoga - it also neede to be done\ Wednesday - I slacked off (went to...

How many have accepted the challenge. It should be 30 min a day every day let's just get started with 1 day, then 1 week, then 1 month......let's get into the habit. Even when you feel you have no tiome you can find 30 m inutes to do some cardio. Heck a good brisk walk with your luggage in an...

The advice given here is great advice for people with lots of time and money to travel all over the world in order to get 10-20 hours on many different models of rebreathers to see which is best suited for them. For those of us who live in a world where money is of concern - yes we have to be...

Dennis I've just finished the CCR course and bought an Inspiration by Ambient Pressure Diving. One thing noone here mentioned so far is the buoyancy issue. Yes everything here I've read is correct but having just completed the course and still getting really comfortable with the unit (like...

Hi All Some thoughts from a newbee. Very informative forum. With lots of good information. One of the things I found touched on is the customer service aspect. Yes you have to do your research and find the unit you are comfortable with supporting your life and definately be able to...

Brian As many people have said good practices take good pratice to get. The times you have that surface swim because you've fooled something up help as well. As long *** you can figure out what you've fooled up. If you want to spend all your time figuring out how far you swim in kick...

I put my watch/backup timer on my regs. I actually have a velcro strap on it that is smaller than you'd use for a wrist. Oh it's a Casio from Walmart. I suggest you get the watch from a large chain that will refund your maoney in the first 30 days if ANYTHING goes wrong with it. I returned 2...

I'm a fairly newbee diver. But I've dove with many less experienced and more experienced divers, some of whom were pick-up buddies I had just met. Throuhg conversation while getting gear ready and donning you can figure out if your a good buddy team or not (I've nevre had a not) and firgure...

I'm finishing off my DM (SDI) and DM/AI (ACUC) at the moment I should finish the SDI stuff in about another week. I was certified OW in July, Advanced in late August, and Rescue in late October (all ACUC), Nitrox in February (TDI). I was encouraged to do the DM with PADI like my husband is now...

There seems to be a tendency running here. If people buy a computer first they are the ones that do not seem to dive at home. They are the vacation divers. Computers are light and easily portable and allow you to track any dives no matteer where you are. Do all the vacation divers log their...

Tony lumpers and splitters refer to the naming tendencies and categorizations in many different fields. I first found the terms when talking informally in a biological taxonomy course, having nothing to do with forestry or timber. Just think about the words. yah NAUI sounds like a lumper...

In NAUI is Master Diver a pre-requisite for any other courses. No one here instructs NAUI only ACUC, PADI, and SDI/TDI so it's hard to get the full scoop. I believe in PADI Master is a stepping stone to Advanced and that is a pre-requisite for Dive MAster..... The Don't read my last post...

:life: I haven't heard of any agency teaching multilevel diving except PADI, using the Wheel. I have also been told that GUE DIR-F instructors will allude to, but not actually teach, multilevel diving through the use of depth averaging and a variety of tables. That's why I'm so curious as...

:huh: Charlie this may be thought of as a small point, but befiore you start throwing around acromins like we've all done the same training by the same orgniazations (I realize that more people have been trained in some than others) try typing out what the the acromins are before assuming (We...

I'd love to, but it is not realy the responsible thing to do. It was taught in my advanced course in the deep and wreck diving sections. I am not an instructor and cannot be responsible for how everyone who reads this understands or uses the information. Dbailey is correct and the not...

"There is a lot more knowledge gained in the Master Diver course than in Divemaster. Physics, Physiology, etc. Also Hands on stuff like shooting lift bags and simulated deco (at least with the shop I work with, we train above standards). " Huhh? Correct me if I am wrong, I know that in at...

Well, I have bought a dive computer a SCUBApro Adladin Prime. I had a look at some of the computers at the local dive shops and I liked the features of the Aladin Prime and it didn't have too much I couldn't see myself using. I only have 1 dive on it thus far but it is a little less...

I do most of my diving locally. Not necessarily square profile but mostly shore dives and there is usually lots of us at the site. I've found the computer guys don't mind the few extra minutes of SI (at the barbeque, drinking soup or just chewing the fat) to wait for us table dudes. It makes...
