Its happened on here before. Myself and several others have been told that they didn't care what we said they knew what they were doing and were gonna keep doing it. They don't make many dive buddies after that tho.
If you dive enough, everything with you will break at some point. I have had failures in first stages, second stages, drysuit, lights, cylinders, o-rings and it goes on and on.
Everyone needs to pay attention to this post. I didnt know the victim but I am close friends to several of her friends. Over the last six years or so I have been involved with too many cases like this, over a dozen and I knew or talked to most of those. It can be tough on friends, and if you are...
Angie good for you. I dove the prototype and it was awesome. I love my nomad which is far from stock but the hollis beats it. The stock hollis sms100 you couldn't give me, after Edd fixes them, not much compares.
Hi everyone. Thanks for the well wishes, I am doing fine and looking forward to moving on when i am cleared to do so. Looks like a few months that i will be dry so I will make up for it atfer.

Agreed with Dale C. No tech diver prefers the valve breathing, and if you so it often you obviously lack some skills. Feathering the valve is easy to do. Now on a trimix dive two weeks ago we did take one of my regs apart for repairs during the dive, no harm done but it is getting serviced.
Its not just bright, except for a few custom jobs that arent available to the public, this is the brightest light i have ever seen in the water. Would be very easy to sell if you won and dont need it.
So, you have to agree then that if you get training and follow it, you are safer.

Exactly, it was a collapse. I was there and swam
through the restriction as they call it a week ago.Can't help
but think of Parker when at that...
Actually your statement is wrong. Name one diver who perished in caves following training guidelines? Can't do it can ya? Outside of a few collapses and maybe a health crisis I can't either. Can name many that broke training rules tho.
Kelly, if nothing else I thank you for your hard work over the years. That is more reason than we need yo enforce training at these sites to assure we have qualified people diving there.
There is more B.S on this thread than I could ever have expected, leads me to believe more internet divers than anything else. If you want to go kill yourself, just do it. Dont try and call yourself a pioneer to justify it. Stupid is just that, stupid. I will concede, some classes out there are...
If you guys need to discredit the "you dont know what you dont know" and call it B.S well I feel sorry for you. When you put in the time to have the dives go bad and have the training then you would understand. Some diver with fewer than fifty dives really shouldn't be in this discussion, you...
You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. I dive with several NY divers with thousands of dives in their belt, they all have advanced training specific to their diving. They we're diving back in the day as you call it. Not getting the training for technical diving is idiotic and...
