Hey guys new T2T member here

Real Name - Wayne
Location - PNW
Years tec diving: 2
No of deco dives: 30-40, I'd have to go through my Logbook but to lazy right now
Tec instructor: No
Trimix: Starting next month
Rebreathers: Maybe one day, when the Trimix costs become to expensive to dive OC
Caves: 22 dives, Full cave course, plus a couple extra dives
Other comments: I love wrecks, took my cave course to become a better wreck diver but then started to love the caves as well. Wrecks are my passion though. The history of them, the fact that they wont be there forever their beauty. Up to this point I have mostly dove artifial wrecks, I am just getting to the point in my diving carrer that I would really like to put some expeditions together to dive some of other wrecks I've been reading about for the last few years

Hey guys!
New member here!

Years tec diving: about 7
Location: South Sinai, Egypt
Occupation: engineer, but since 2003 full-time dive instructor and dive centre manager, equipment service technician, passionate filling station designer and equipment tester ;-)
No of deco dives: hard to say, stopped logging dives, but 300+ (if you count dives deeper than 40m in doubles with staged deco), so I would say
Tec instructor: Yes
Trimix: Yes
Rebreathers: No, but saving for an eCCR right now ;-)
Caves: Not yet, no proper caves where I live, but planning a Yucatan full-cave-course-holiday soon!
Current project(s): locating an undived, lost ferry boat wreck that sunk in the 80's, close to where I live (about 80-100m depth, not yet found, but working on it... PM me if you are interested in details or would like to join the treasure hunt ;-))
Other comments: equipment mostly conform with DIR, procedures DIR where appropriate for the kind of diving I do (which is currently NOT deep cave exploration diving with multiple scooters, which, in my opinion, is the only type of diving where the complete DIR philosophy makes sense in it's entirety), otherwise trying to merge the best of all philosophies, educational systems and agencies that are around, into a dive style that is safe, innovative and that "makes sense" ;-)
