The focus of a commercial diving school is more towards teaching you enough to be a tender rather then a diver. Most commercial divers already have a useful skill before they start. You will learn the basics but you will not be proficient until you learn more on the job. I would suggest finding...
I usually go out east for the better visibility. I generally paddle 5 miles or less. With the available launch sites and going only 5 miles I can reach about 90% of the shoreline. Is there an area you needed information about?
After 49 years of diving, 10 of those as a commercial diver, my plateau is back to where I started. This is what I do to relax, so I am primarily interested in shallow and long dives in clear warm water. Anything else just seems like work now. I still do some work for people I know but that is...
Just some old school advice, keep it simple to start. You will have a lot of new equipment to get used to so go slow and keep it shallow.
A rule of thumb we used before computers was if you dove a single 72cu/ft tank and stayed above 60 feet you could not stay down long enough to exceed the no...
The instructor was correct. It helps if you view the gases as liquids like mixing oil and water. You want to start with the heaviest gas first then add the lighter gas after. If you pour water through oil the water will go straight to the bottom without much mixing. Pour the oil into water and...
Best training you can get would be commercial diver training. It’s not cheap and will take a long time. You will come out knowing more than any scuba instructor.
2019 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 four door full size cab with a 5’ bed. It can handle 4 divers and their equipment. I also use it to carry my kayak and whatever I salvage while diving.
Forget the "diver-only" part of your plan and this might work. There are already a number of indoor water parks in the country. You could try to sell your idea to them as an addition to their existing parks.
This is also an option worth considering. Dolphin Tech by IST HHBP-III Commercial Diving Harness A commercial diving harness that is light weight and has been in service in the commercial diving industry for decades. This meets or exceeds the standards of every agency the regulates commercial...
Why can't you put it on your leg? Try surgical tubing instead whatever straps it came with. Once you have it tied right the tubing will contract as your wetsuit compresses. It should never move out of place after that. My suggestion would be to have it on your thigh so the handle is where...
Seems like a real bad idea as advertised but I have never seen one in person. Looks like it could be modified to install a reg and comms. Lose the snorkel part and vent air from the top of the mask. Making a poor mans band mask.
Agreed. Diving is just your way of getting to the job. Its what you are able to do once you get there that will make the difference. Your ability to improvise is also very important as you never know for sure what you will find once you get there. The quote below from the US Navy Salvage...
I used my own lock out procedure. I didn't depend on tie wraps or their locks I used my own locks. Either my tender had the keys or if I was working alone I would take the keys down with me.
