Feel free to come dive here in a drysuit during the summer, especially when the water even at depth is +30C/90FNo drysuits in technical class?
Those photo's have been mentioned soooo many times and they're being changed. But this movie isn't a PADI course. It's TDI Extended Range.I recently came across a TecRec/DSAT/PADI workbook for tech diving. In almost all pictures, instructor and students were kneeling on the bottom. This included kneeling during the demonstration of a gas switch. I guess I dont need to comment on how absurd that is if you cant hold a stop while trying to switch to O2 lets say ...
Some of the required skills you will have to demonstrate include:
"Demonstrate competence managing 2 stage cylinders, either 2 deco gas or 1 deco and extra bottom gas, including drop and recovery while maintaining position in the water column"
