A new French guy

[dangue]

I am Dan, i am living in the SOUTH EAST of FRANCE.
I regularly dive since 1978, from MAY to NOVEMBER, and according hollidays, and business trip in HOT water, i also dive in winter. When i dive in FRANCE, in Mediteranean sea, i dive with friends, with our boat. We like FREE DIVING.
The dives we are doing over there are on sunk boats (until 180 feet) or submarines cliffs. We DIVE with compressed air, and DECO with O2, we also use NITROX .

Bienvenu Dan,

Howdy there!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, and the fastest growing. Good to have you aboard, and I hope I gt to know you around the forums. With your experiences, I'm sure you can add a lot!

You'll notice that SB is dominated by Americas. We're a friendly lot for the most part, but many of us are in the habit of making fun of your fine country because of some political differences. Let me apologize for that, and I hope you'll forgive us when it comes up. Might be good to have a snappy comeback ready? We are also commonly unilingual, as well as challenged in metrics. Your English is good, though, so be patient with us as we try to convert measurements. (1.8 x C) + 32 = F.

BTW, we use "freediving" to mean diving on a single breath of air, free of equipment. You do that, too? 180 feet on air with O2 for offgassing and decom sounds great. You may find our Tech diving forums of interest.

BTW, it'll help in future discussions if you'll complete your Profile and sepearately - your Dive Info. Use the Quick Link menu above. PM me if I can help you in any way.

Heya and welcome to the Board!!! :wavey:

I did a mistake. In France, we call"FREE DIVING" the dives we do when we are diving with our own boat, without being in a scuba school. That means we are free to go where we want, the time we want, we organise ourself the dive,and deco. After the dive, we are used to have some coffé,wine,cake,cognac.We like fun.
